Expanded Information:

Every era of literary development has been characterized by the development of the Chinese language. p>There is a historical succession of literary developments in every age. Marx pointed out, "People make their own history, but they do not make it at will, not under conditions of their own choosing, but under conditions directly encountered, established, inherited from the past."

The same is true of the development of literature. Literary heritage is created by the predecessors on the basis of their aesthetic experience of life in their own time and place, and once it is created, it becomes an objective existence that will have some influence on the literature of future generations.

Future generations of writers engage in literary creation, always consciously or unconsciously draw sustenance from the literary heritage, inherit the traditions of their predecessors, and learn and utilize the existing skills and language. At the same time, the literature of each era should be innovated and created.

So, in the development of literature, inheritance and innovation should be dialectical unity. Great writers always inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of their own national literature before they can create immortal literary works.
