When I read Chinese literature my purpose is not "interpretation" but to study why Chinese society has the kind of literature it does and what its background is, in terms of customs, beliefs, history, and the like.
我讀中國文學，不在於 Interpretation（闡釋），而在於研究中國社會為什麼會有這樣的文學，也就是有哪些民俗、或宗教、或歷史等等的背景，也就是比較用社會人類學的眼光來看文學。
