Features: The essay holds a significant position in the history of Chinese literature. Since the May Fourth Movement, a group of modern writers led by Lu Xun has pushed essay writing to a new peak. Since the New Period, essay writing has achieved remarkable success and has become a grand spectacle. Some say that the essay is a weapon for criticism, as well as a weapon for reform and the construction of spiritual civilization.
