Features: Based on a relatively clear outline of the magazine "Xuecan Yuebao" during the period of 1910-1920, this book recreates the historical and literary context of the time. It provides a theoretical integration and enhancement on issues such as the operational mechanisms of cultural production contained in the magazine, the overall style of its content, the magazine's style, the composition of its main team, the long and short stories, and its influence on later journals and literature. In the specific framework, the first three chapters can be seen as an introduction and analysis of the magazine features of "Xuecan Yuebao." The last three chapters mainly focus on the main content of the magazine and its fate in modern literature, along with analyses and discussions.
