Features: This book is based on the latest research findings in this discipline and adheres to a historicalist research stance. It emphasizes the excavation of historical materials and strives to analyze original ecological data, conducting interdisciplinary comprehensive research from aesthetic, historical, sociological, and cultural anthropological perspectives on the trends and phenomena of modern Chinese literature. This approach aims to achieve a new rational review and pluralistic interpretation of their evolution and development. The book is structured around the three decades of modern Chinese literature as its basic framework, divided into three parts to discuss the literary trends of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, outlining their historical processes of emergence and development and exploring the operational patterns of their rise and decline. The book places literary trends within the contexts of culture, history, and society, examining the influence of their external environment on their evolution and development, thereby prompting reflections on the relationship between literary trends and the humanistic environment of the times. The arguments in this book are derived from historical evidence and are combined with historical analysis, while also paying attention to the connection between academic research and contemporary realities, avoiding the superficiality and detachment often found in historical studies.
