Features: The author emphasizes that literary criticism in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China was not only political and ideological criticism but also had another form of literary criticism. It focused on form without neglecting content. This is what the author calls scientific criticism. Scientific criticism mainly has three practical approaches: criticism of the narrative language of works; criticism of the structure of works; and objective interpretation of literary content.
