摹仿说从哪里滥觞，如何发展、演变乃至定型，即摹仿说的“原型”形态揭秘问题，从“五四”以来一直较少有人作专题考察。然而，无人考察并不等于它不存在。事实上，对这个问题的理解，至今仍阻遏并困扰着世纪之交的人们对于中西文论能否对话，有没有融合的可能性等一系列问题的思考 Imitation from where it originated, how to develop, evolve and even stereotyped, that imitation said the “prototype” form of the Secret problem, since the “May 4th” has been less subject-oriented investigation. However, unattended does not mean that it does not exist. In fact, the understanding of this issue is still a deterrent to and pesky the thinking of a series of questions that people at the turn of the century turn to whether or not there is a possibility of dialogue between Chinese and Western literary theories.
