This sentence expresses the desire for mutual understanding and exchange between different cultures and academics. Although regional and cultural differences have formed different academic traditions and poetic styles, on the whole, they still have the same characteristics and similar internal logic. Mr. Qian Zhongshu believes that China's poetry is characterized by "ethereal, circular, implicit and elegant", which is different from western poetry, but it is not completely opposite, but can be used for reference and integrated with each other.
