Features: Contemporary literary criticism faces increasingly arduous tasks in the context of the unprecedented flourishing of literature since the new period in China. A large number of new writers and works await reading and criticism, while many highly renowned writers and their works also require more in-depth critical essays and interpretations. There is a need for more macro-level criticism to scan the current state of literary creation as a whole, and multi-perspective, multi-method criticism still awaits further development. How to avoid media hype under market economy conditions while upholding the academic stance of academic criticism remains a challenge. If we can avoid media hype under market economy conditions, uphold the academic stance of academic criticism, and better apply Marxist worldview, life philosophy, values, and artistic perspectives in this field, as well as strengthen aesthetic and historical criticism, all of these still require us to make greater efforts. This collection includes 47 essays, but it is still evident from them the difficult strides and explorations the author has made in his academic field. It may hold some reference value for readers and also serves as a motivational force for the author himself, embodying the principle of "reviewing the past to understand the new."
