Collection 1 of Qian Xuantong's Works (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—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 cultural movement centered around literary revolution, impacting various aspects such as social politics, thought, education, and culture. Movements like the vernacular 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. Only because there is a separate volume for miscellaneous essays did we extract articles of that nature for the second volume.
