Abstract: Scholars both at home and abroad who are interested in WANG Yuanhuas thought are familiar with his Creation Theory of Wenxin Diaolong written in the 1960s, but few of them know his favor of LU Jis “Wenfu”. There are two reasons to transcribe the recordings of his “A Lecture on ‘Wenfu’” in 2002 and make annotations: first, this lecture, which has not yet been included in the Collected Works of WANG Yuanhua, is really important for the evolution of WANGs literary theory; second, his interpretation of the sentence of “taking his position at the hub of things so as to contemplate the mystery of the universe” in “Wenfu” tells us that even in the new century, WANGs literary theory has not been free from the Soviet model, which he followed in his interpretation of Wenxin Diaolong before the Cultural Revolution.

Key words: WANG Yuanhua, “A Lecture on ‘Wenfu’”, annotation
