Beyond the words: Jin Shengtan's perception of hidden meanings in 'Xixiang ji'
Article Abstract:
Seventeenth-century Chinese literary critic Jin Shengtan attributed hidden meanings to a description of a female character in 'Xixiang ji,' a classical opera. Jin's interpretation of the passage follows a traditional hermeneutical principle that the meaning of literary works is not explicitly stated, but is implicit in the text. Jin felt the opera was a work of great significance, and analyzed its psychological and social aspects.
