Features: This book primarily discusses the essence, characteristics, functions of literature, as well as its origin, development, exchange, and creation. During the writing process of this textbook, efforts were made to implement some positive intentions, such as adapting to the requirements of five-year normal education in the new century, striving to achieve a balance between scientific rigor, vividness, and practicality. Theoretical elaborations are combined with the content of Chinese language textbooks in normal schools, and the expression is made concise, clear, vivid, and easy to understand. Some beneficial attempts were also made, such as setting up special columns in the text to provide materials and theoretical evidence for literary works, and including representative reference bibliographies at the end of the textbook. Whether these intentions have been achieved and whether these attempts have been successful still depend on the of teaching practice and the criticism and corrections from all sides, in order to improve and perfect them in future revisions.
