Features: In the history of Chinese literature, classical fiction has also experienced numerous "set-offs," even absorbing certain narrative achievements from foreign lands, but it has essentially struggled within the confines of Chinese literature and history. The most significant "set-off" in the scale of Chinese fiction occurred about a century ago. The emergence of "modern literature" led to unprecedented revolutionary changes in Chinese fiction. From the concept of fiction to the language; from genre, narrative perspective, narrative person to rhetoric, every field underwent significant expansion, ultimately forming the clear boundary line between the modern and the classical. We hope these famous works that "influenced" the spiritual growth of writers can also "influence" you, nourishing and awakening the classic sentiment and nostalgia within your heart. French writer André Gide said it well: "Influence creates nothing; it merely awakens." Indeed, only when your memory, imagination, and sleeping heart are awakened can your reading truly begin.
