“复古”曾一度被誉为纯粹的“中国现象”，但我们对它还缺乏深入的理解和认识，以致其丰富性和复杂性，至今仍未得到有效的揭示。以王闾运为例，其复古诗学不仅蕴含了独到的诗歌体悟和“因庄入圣”“以礼自治”的政学理想，具有丰富的精神内涵，而且又以其独特的复古姿态、方法和对象，呈现出鲜明的个性特征。这种“复古”现象的形成，既与其个性、天资、学问密切相关，又受到世运的深刻影响，充分显出中国“复古”现象的丰富复杂性，以及“复古”文化的内生矛盾性。

"Reversion" used to be hailed as a pure "Chinese phenomenon", but its richness and complexity have not been effectively revealed yet, which has seriously affected our in-depth understanding of it. Take Wang Kaiyuan as an example. His poetics of "reversion" had profound spiritual connotation, which implied his original comprehension of poetry, his political ideal of "Entering the Holy Land through Zhuangzi" and "Self-government with Propriety"; it also presented Wang's distinct personality in his stance, method, and object regarding "reversion". The formation of such "reversion" phenomenon was both closely related to Wang's personality, talents, scholarship, as well as the vicissitudes of time. It fully demonstrated the complexity of the "reversion" phenomenon in China and the internal contradiction in the culture of "reversion".
