Features: The study of the relationship between modern media and modern Chinese literature has been a topic of increasing attention in academia in recent years. This book is a specialized research conducted against this academic backdrop. Through case analyses of Lu Xun, Story Monthly, and Shanghai Daily·Free Talk, it discusses the intrinsic connection between modern media and modern Chinese literature from the perspective of literary production, revealing the symbiotic relationship between modern media and modern literature. The book points out that once modern media establishes itself, it is not only a carrier of literature but also its influence brings profound changes to literary aesthetic concepts, literary trends, stylistic features, and the writer corps. As a result, the "modernity" of Chinese literature acquires its own special meaning and characteristics.
