Features: Until the end of World War II, Japanese literature consisted of two major branches: one was the Waka literature created by the Japanese in their native language, and the other was the Han literature written in Chinese. In the over thousand-year history of Han literature in Japan, modern Han literature was the most prosperous. During this period, hundreds of Han literature magazines were published publicly, thousands of collections of Han poems and essays were published, and the number of works was astonishing. Writers were spread across all social strata, with rich themes and content closely tied to the times. This book discusses the development of modern Han literature in Japan from different perspectives, including its literary trends, the works of major writers, and the evolution of its development. Readers not only can appreciate the most representative Han literary works of Japan but also can gain insights into the profound social changes in modern Japan and experience the complex emotions of joy, sorrow, melancholy, and hesitation expressed by the poets during this transformation.
