Abstract
The revival of parallel prose in the Qing dynasty is a judgment in literary historiography that represents the mainstream scholarly view of parallel prose during this period. Through an analysis of various discourses on parallel prose in the Qing dynasty, this study finds that the implications of such assessment extend beyond the large number of parallel-prose works and their authors. They also encompass the elevation of stylistic standards, the expansion of the aesthetic scope of parallel prose, and the incorporation of diverse literary forms. Consequently, an examination of the significance of the revival of parallel prose in the Qing dynasty reveals that parallel prose of this period differed from that of earlier dynasties and transcended the traditional framework of parallel prose established in previous eras.
