Tracing and Interpretation of Literature in the New Period (ePub)

When Mr. Yu Yingshi, a famous historian, talked about his academic research, he said, "e;I have been paying much attention to those breakthrough stages in my research of Chinese culture, society and ideological history, so I have to refer to those of two thousand years. However, the emphasis is still to observe their changes. For example, in-depth research on the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. As for an era without many fluctuations after establishment, I often put it aside. Therefore, I wasn't engaged in so-called 'academic reports' or 'learning plans' of predecessors."e; Yu Yingshi's interest in "e;changes"e; has greatly enlightened others. China in 20th Century is such an era with great characteristics of "e;changes"e;. In the past one hundred years, there were not only the transformation from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China and transformation from the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, but also various doctrines and thoughts and new literature that is quite different from the traditional literature. Since the time period was in the period dramatic historical changes, although the time period was short, it left large space for activities of Chinese revolutionists, thinkers and litterateurs. As a result of such reason, Chinese society, history, ideological trend and literature of the past one hundred years are also major concerns of contemporary Chinese academic research. "e;Book Series of Chinese Literary Research of 20th Century"e; is the result of our thinking on the literature of the era as contemporary scholars.
