Features: This book takes the inherent logical relationship between "culture and literature" as its cognitive foundation, conducting a comprehensive and dynamic examination and evaluation of the interactive developmental trajectory of "family culture and 20th-century Chinese family literature" within a comparative framework of China and the West. On one hand, the author attempts to examine and analyze the artistic autonomy and historical-cultural dynamics behind the "family literature phenomenon" in 20th-century China from the narrative level of literary motifs. On the other hand, he strives to affirm and aesthetically interpret family culture through various motif forms of 20th-century Chinese family literature. This approach helps to understand and clarify the dialogic relationship between family literature and the "modernity" process of 20th-century China, as well as the changes arising from the transformation of values within this process. Through this, the book reveals the value foundation of why the creation of "family literature" possesses an "eternal" quality.
