Features: This book selects renowned writers such as Wang Zengqi, Han Shaogong, Zhang Chengzhi, Beiwen, Shi Tiesheng, A Lai, and Tashi Dawa as examples, meticulously examines the complex relationship between contemporary Chinese writers and religious culture, and deeply explores the various influences of religious culture on themes, characters, and imagery in contemporary literary creation. It summarizes the characteristics of the close relationship between religion and literature in the new cultural context, where this bond actively adapts and evolves. The authors argue that the influence of religious culture on contemporary Chinese literary creation has significantly strengthened. This is an effort by contemporary Chinese literature to move beyond cultural context singularity and pursue cultural context richness. We should adopt a rational perspective and approach with historical materialism to guide the creative inheritance and transformation of this abundant traditional resource of religious culture in contemporary Chinese literature.
