Features: Emerging in the late 1970s, the New Period Literature of China has now spanned nearly three decades. During these three decades, the face of contemporary Chinese literature has undergone earth-shaking transformations. A host of outstanding writers and works have upheld a new sky for Chinese literature, which has rapidly integrated into the global literary trend and ushered in its most glorious period of development. The prosperity of New Period Literature has also brought about a flourishing of New Period literary criticism and research. It can be said that tracking the New Period Literature has always been one of the most vibrant fields in contemporary Chinese academia and criticism, yielding a series of remarkable research achievements. This series is divided into two types: Type A is a comprehensive compilation of research materials on the trends, schools, and genres of New Period Literature, while Type B is a compilation of individual research materials on representative writers of the New Period. Each volume selects the best research achievements in various fields and presents an overall index of related research findings in an appendix. This series adopts an open format and will be published long-term. We aim to create an important academic project. Our goals are to ensure systematicity in materials, scientific rigor in academia, diversity in perspectives, and authoritative selection. We strive to provide readers with a comprehensive and objective understanding of the history and current state of New Period Literature research, as well as access to the best research articles in this field in the most efficient manner.
At present, in the pursuit and exploration of artistic expression, prose creation, without a doubt, lags behind other literary forms such as fiction, poetry, and drama. While some explorations in these literary forms may not have been entirely successful, continuous exploration with corrections to errors will certainly contribute to their healthy development. Prose creation should exhibit more conscious exploration in this regard. It should strive to produce numerous original works of high aesthetic standards in the pursuit of new norms that defy categorization.
This book is part of the "Comprehensive Research Materials on New Period Chinese Literature" (Type A) series and collects the best research achievements on New Period prose.
