Features: This book selects over 240 essays and poems by modern Chinese writers on literature, roughly organized by era into three sections: Section 1, from the eve of the Opium War to the eve of the Reform Movement; Section 2, around the Wuxu Reform; Section 3, from the eve of the Xinhai Revolution to the eve of the May Fourth Movement. Within each section, it is further divided into several units, roughly organized by literary trends. The advanced and revolutionary trends are placed first, followed by the backward and reactionary ones, to highlight the mainstream and major contradictions of each period, and then other trends are presented.
