Briefly describe the basic characteristics of modernist literature: experiment and innovation, integration of content and form, opposition to traditional concepts and value systems, opposition to traditional concepts and value systems, opposition to art, subjectivity and deconstruction.

1, experimental innovation: Modernist literature pursues formal innovation and experiment by breaking the limitation of traditional literary form and language. It challenges the traditional linear narrative structure and shows its unique artistry by using stream of consciousness, multi-voice narrative, fragmentation and nonlinear narrative.

2. Integration of content and form: Modernist literature tries to dissolve the division of form and content in traditional literature and integrate them. The form and expression of literary works are interrelated and influenced by the themes and meanings discussed in the works.

3. Oppose traditional concepts and value systems: Modernist literature questions traditional social, ethical and moral concepts. It rejects the traditional realistic representation and one-dimensional view of truth and explores the diversity, relativity and complexity of existence.

4. Oppose traditional concepts and value systems: Modernist literature pays attention to the complexity and depth of human inner world. It emphasizes introspection and psychological description, trying to show the diversity and contradiction of human consciousness and the complexity of human emotions, thoughts and perceptions.

5. Anti-artistic art: Modernist literature pursues pure artistic expression, rejects the bondage of authority and traditional culture, and gives up the purpose of pursuing social utility or enlightenment.

6. Subjectivity and deconstruction: Modernist literature is biased towards subjective experience and deconstruction of reality.
