Features: Literary Quarterly was a bridge built by figures such as Zheng Zhenduo, Jin Yi, and Ba Jin in the 1920s in Beijing and Shanghai, connecting the literary circles of both cities. It transcended political factions and groups, breaking down the barriers between academia and the literary world. With its simple style, substantial works, grand vision, and stronger, more courageous spirit, it introduced the masterpieces of the finest writers in Beijing and Shanghai. Many works of the new literature history, such as Thunderstorm, were first introduced to readers through Literary Quarterly. In terms of length and capacity, Literary Quarterly also pioneered a new era for large-scale pure literary journals in modern China.
