Abstract：The view that “Hermeneutic Circle” is a peculiarity of Qian Zhongshu's Methodology of Poetics is called “Theory of Hermeneutic Circle.” It came into being in the 1980s and was established as a theory at the beginning of this century by its advocators. As one of the main theories in “Qian Studies”, “Theory of Hermeneutic Circle” contributes much to the study of Qian Zhongshu's specific method in poetics. Unfortunately, there are several problems in the practice of this theory. First, it ignores the validity of “Hermeneutic Circle,” which is a concept traveled in the Chinese academia from the western world. Second, it forgets that the most authoritative criterion of judging what is the proper summary of Qian's methodology is his works themselves. And thirdly, it is obviously wrong to overstate the applicability of the concept “Hermeneutic Circle” and want to summarize the whole methodology of Qian Zhongshu by using such a single term. Therefore, it may eventually lead to the magnification and invalidity of the theory.
