The object of interpretation is the text. Textual interpretation is the basic method of the humanities, and a large part of literary interpretation is conducted in this way. ″Positive interpretation″ and ″negative interpretation″ are two theoretical perspectives of literary interpretation. The frequent adoption of ″positive interpretation″ is not only due to the turn of modern hermeneutics, but also closely related to the impetus of theory. The reason why literature has become the most active area of ″positive interpretation″ is largely because of the asymmetry between the rational language of interpretation and the sensual experience. Abandoning the concept of the organic whole of the text, ″active interpretation″ often transcends the constraints of aesthetic pleasure and creates various new topics. How to understand the problem of relativism in interpretation? The ″historical context″ is both the basis for changes in interpretation and the basis for its stability and continuity. Most of the ″ positive interpretations″ fade away as failed thought experiments, while a few ″positive interpretations″ may serve as the pioneers of some cultural revolution.
