Abstract History of Chinese literature in the early west, with its unique extra-territorial standpoint and novel research perspective, presents different compilation ideas and theoretical analysis from that of domestic literature history writing, which provides useful experience for Chinese literature history writing, and has important academic value and significance. In terms of material selection, history of Chinese literature in the early west attaches great importance to the extract and translation of source documents, respects and includes a large number of Confucian classics, and has a pan-cultural vision of literature selection. In the view of literature, it not only follows the inherent literary concepts of ancient China, but also is influenced by the modern literary concepts of the West. It holds the view of Chinese literature as a whole, which takes Confucianism as the main body and political utility as the guide. In the view of literary history, it pays attention to the profound influence of external factors such as social history and dynastic politics on the development of literature. It holds that the dominant position of Confucianism leads to the fogyish and false characteristics of the development of Chinese literature. At the same time, it pays attention to exploring cultural factors and highly praises folk literature. In terms of codification method, it adopts the organizational framework of times, themes and genres simultaneously, starting from the Chinese language and characters, and taking background knowledge, author’s life and brief introduction of works as the main body of compilation, which embodies vagueness and popular characteristics.
