Collection of Qian Xuantong's Works (Volume 1) - Literary Revolution: The Literary Revolution

Author: Qian Xuantong
Publisher:
Publish Date: 1999-04-01
Features: This book is a volume of the author's collected works, including articles from 1917 to 1921. This period was when Qian Xuantong engaged in literary revolution through self-study. The literary revolution should not be narrowly understood; it actually developed into a New Culture Movement centered around literary revolution, impacting various aspects such as social politics, ideology, education, and culture. Movements like the vernacular literature movement, phonetic alphabet movement, simplified Chinese movement, and Esperanto movement, among others, were all within its scope. Therefore, all articles Qian Xuantong published in New Youth should have been included in this volume. However, because there is a separate volume for miscellaneous essays, we have extracted essays of that nature and included them in the second volume.
