Why did Guo Yuheng's History of Ancient Chinese Literature not talk about the Book of Changes?
Guo Yuheng was a famous literary historian and literary theorist in China in the 20th century. His works covered many aspects of the history of Chinese classical literature. However, he did not specifically introduce the Book of Changes in the History of Ancient Chinese Literature for the following reasons: The status of the Book of Changes in the history of ancient Chinese literature was relatively low. In Guo Yuheng's era, the status of the Book of Changes was relatively low. It was not as widely valued as classic literary works such as The Book of Songs and The Songs of Chu. Therefore, it was unlikely that he would specifically introduce the Book of Changes in the history of literature. 2. The theories and thoughts of the Book of Changes are complicated and difficult to systematically explain. Guo Yuheng might think that when introducing the Book of Changes, he needed to elaborate on its theoretical thoughts and implications, which would not only increase the length of the book but also make it difficult for readers to understand. 3. The content of the Book of Changes is not very relevant to modern society. In Guo Yuheng's era, the philosophy discussed in the Book of Changes was no longer consistent with modern society, so it was unlikely that he would specifically introduce the Book of Changes in the history of literature.
