Features: The literary revolution was a byproduct of the modern bourgeois revolutionary movement and a historical outcome of the transformation between the old and new in Chinese literature. Liang Qichao's theoretical advocacy and construction of the literary revolution reflect the germination of the new literary aesthetic consciousness and ideals of the 20th century, marking an important step in the renewal of aesthetic concepts in Chinese literature. This book systematically reviews the development of Liang Qichao's literary thought and holds high reference value. Renowned scholars from home and abroad have been invited to write about the spiritual deeds of figures or conduct in-depth research and discussions on various aspects of modern Chinese intellectual culture and social life, hoping to preserve academic knowledge while also allowing the expertise of experts to reach the general public's ordinary perception. During this turbulent turning point of the modern era, the sacrifices and achievements of figures like Liang Qichao were profound. Many pure literary scholars who once devoted themselves to poetry and remained detached from worldly affairs have long been forgotten, while many political figures who once dominated the scene have also faded into history, becoming mere subjects of historians. However, the contradictory Liang Qichao still lives, at least his pursuits, struggles, and joys continue to linger in the hearts of contemporary literary figures.
