Features: In terms of historical development, literature has undergone a long process as part of the progress of human civilization. In terms of synchronic form, it encompasses literatures from different ethnic regions and varying levels of development across the world. At the same time, it is a living literature that is constantly evolving, as humanity continuously injects new qualities revealed in its real-world development into it. From an essentialist perspective, literature is the study of humanity and also the study of the human heart. It is the rhythm of human life, the singing of the soul, the product of the gestation of human emotions and wisdom, and the free manifestation of the infinite creative potential inherent in human nature. Literature cannot exist without people, nor can it exist without the inner spirit of people. In social life, wherever there are people, there is literature; whatever kind of people there are, there will be whatever kind of literature; and as long as humanity continues to survive and develop, the flower of literature will undoubtedly bloom more vibrantly. Among the connotations of literature, the most profound is the universal foundation it reflects in the inner spirit of humanity.
