      ab: In view of the salient characteristics of technological innovation and human-machine symbiosis in the era of artificial intelligence, Chinese literary circles have purveyed a productive exploration of "literary study in the era of artificial intelligence." Chinese scholars' innovation of literary theory consists of three characteristics. First, they have established the original theory of "brain text," systematically analyzed the definition, formation mechanism, and relationship between "brain text" and literature, language, text, and cognition, and applied this theory to literary criticism. Second, on the basis of sorting out and summarizing the core viewpoints of Western digital humanities theory, Chinese scholars have carried out indigenized innovations, promoted the research of machine reading in digital humanities, and proposed the paradigm of online literary criticism. Third, Chinese scholars have accepted and promoted the posthuman theory of Western academic circles, thereupon formulating independent critical discourses by means of classification, distinction, and selection. Chinese scholars' innovation of literary criticism is reflected in the following aspects. They continue to promote ethical literary criticism, paying closer attention to environmental ethics, biotechnology ethics, and robot ethics. At the same time, they have expanded the issues of literary criticism from the dimensions of body and emotion, focusing on such novel topics as virtual body, new subject, artificial emotion, and non-human narrative. They have also explored the generative mechanism, nature, limitations, and potentials of AI literature.
