Abstract
The discussion in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons typically revolves around a fundamental dichotomy between the author and the text. Lie Xie categorized authors into two groups: the saint and the non-saint. Simultaneously, he classified their works as either classics or non-classics. This differentiation serves as a pivotal theme for comprehending Liu Xie's theorical framework, providing insight into his organization of the “Emendation of Apocrypha” in Chapter Four. Furthermore, it sheds light on Liu Xie's discourse concerning concepts such as “vacancy and tranquility” and “style,” which are contingent upon these distinctions.
