Education
- Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota
Research Focus
Professor Hao specializes in premodern Chinese poetry and poetics, with particular emphasis on literary canon formation processes in premodern China. His scholarship extends to late imperial fantastic fiction and cross-cultural translation dynamics, currently manifested in dual research trajectories: the reception history of eighth-century poet Du Fu and critical analysis of the sixteenth-century novel Journey to the West (Xiyou ji). These projects reveal his methodological commitment to tracing textual evolution across temporal and cultural boundaries.
Publication Trends
His 2017 monograph on Du Fu's reception exemplifies a sustained scholarly engagement with how Chinese literary works are interpreted, preserved, and transformed through historical transmission. This body of work strategically bridges literary analysis, historical contextualization, and comparative frameworks, establishing connections between classical Chinese literature and broader global humanities discourse.
