Features: Faced with the "clamor of voices" in the May Fourth Movement, this book not only analyzes the similarities and differences between Chen Duxiu and his《》 (founded by Chen Duxiu) and Cai Yuanpei and his (established by Cai Yuanpei), but also discovers the unique voice of the "S Hall" in the center of May Fourth discourse. It further proposes that the "S Hall" itself exhibits a triangular tension, existing in the "similarity within difference" and "difference within similarity" between Lu Xun and Qian Xuantong, particularly Zhou Zuoren. This "difference" is a fundamental one. Thus, it reveals "multiple dialogues" on different levels such as "moralism" and "scientificism." On this basis, Chinese New Literature emerged. A renowned scholar who read the manuscript remarked that the book "rewrote literary history."
