Features: As a large-scale pure literary monthly magazine, Wenji Monthly provided a broad stage for the pursuits and dreams of writers in the literary scene of the 1930s, alongside magazines like Modern, Literature, and Translation. It helped create the dazzling landscape of the 1930s literary world. This magazine also served as a testament to the friendship between two intellectuals. The names of the two close friends, Ba Jin and Jin Yi, were printed together on the cover as the magazine's editors. At their enthusiastic invitations, works by new and old friends such as Shen Congwen, Bing Xin, Shi Tuo, Ding Ling, Xiao Hong, Cao Yu, He Qifang, and Bian Zhilin were featured in the magazine. Seeing the brilliant names and luminous chapters of modern literature appear in such a simple yet substantial magazine left no one unmoved.
