Features: In the study of Chinese literature, we have felt two trends: one is the expansion of research teams due to the increase in doctoral programs in ancient literature; the other is the weakening of academic innovation caused by the non-renewable nature of "resources." Therefore, how ancient literature research should develop in the early 21st century cannot but become an important question we must ask! As a branch of ancient literature research, Liao and Jin literature naturally faces such issues. It should be a necessary part of the discussion to reflect on the current state and developmental trends of Liao and Jin literature in recent years. Today, experts and scholars in Liao and Jin literature are no longer just a few individuals from the past; the research subjects are far broader than just one writer and one work; and the research achievements are no longer limited to just a few books and a dozen papers. The study of Liao and Jin literature has already developed a mature group of scholars from universities and research institutions both domestically and overseas; it has dozens of academic monographs and hundreds of papers; and it has a deeper and broader field of research.
