Abstract: There are already good conditions and opportunities for the comparison between the East and the West,and whether we can grasp these conditions and opportunities requires us to make great efforts.Being open,independent and characterized by literature comparison of different languages,the study of comparative literature should take specific texts as evidence,starting from details instead of from concept to concept.The commonness of the comparison between China and the West is objective,but what exists objectively also needs to be elucidated;in the process of elucidation,such commonalities or differences should not be absolute,and the argument should be comprehensive and objective.Once a reasonable argument is pushed to the extreme,the reason for it will not exist."World literature" is not a purely foreign concept.Chinese modern literature itself is integrated into world literature and becomes a part of world literature,and world literature now provides us with a good opportunity.The classics of Chinese literature can also become part of the classics of world literature.Staring from the standpoint of Chinese scholars and taking China's own academic tradition as the foundation,we should try to find some theoretical problems from the facts of Chinese literature and have an equal dialogue with the West,avoiding looking up to the West and the simple nationalist tendencies as well.

Key words: comparative literature, world literature, commonality, Chinese standpoint, dialogue
