With its excellent history, diverse forms, numerous China writers, rich works, unique style, distinctive personality and attractive charm, it has become a dazzling treasure in the world literature treasure house.

China literature is divided into classical literature, modern literature and contemporary literature. Classical literature is represented by Tang and Song poetry and four classical novels, modern literature is represented by Lu Xun's novels, and contemporary literature is marked by China's free literature with independent thoughts.

The long history of China literature can be divided into two periods, the former period should be called "ancient" and the latter period should be called "modern". "Ancient times" is the period when China literature developed continuously and formed China traditional literature, and its traditional literature reached its peak, which was the most brilliant period of China literature. "Modern times" is a period when China's traditional literature lost its own tradition, failed to develop further and gradually declined from its peak under the oppression of some forces.
