What is called science fiction

Science fiction (English abbreviation: Sci-Fi) full name science fiction, direct translation should be science fiction (English full name: Science Fiction), is a literary genre originated in the modern West.

It is defined as a reasonable conception based on respect for scientific conclusions (rather than delusion, otherwise it would be science fiction) and the creation of literature, generally considered excellent science fiction must have "logical self-consistency", "scientific elements", It is generally believed that good science fiction must have the three elements of "logical coherence", "scientific elements" and "humanistic thinking".

Nowadays, focusing on narrative and pursuing humanistic thinking has become the mainstream of science fiction, and the domestic science fiction novels also show the trend of light science favoring literature and art.

It is worth noting that the so-called science fiction novels under the so-called science fiction classification on the major mainstream online literature platforms in China seldom have all the above three elements, and their subdivided genres and audiences are very different from the science fiction novels defined in this entry, and are not recognized by the Chinese science fiction community and the World Science Fiction Association, and belong to one of the branches of online literature, according to which this entry will not be an introduction of the genre.

Expanded Information:

< p>On the mainland, writers like Zheng Wenguang and Tong Enzheng were the first to be able to write science fiction stories. Why was Deadlight on a Coral Island such a sensation that it was adapted into a radio play and a movie? Because it was a story full of dramatic conflicts.

Ye Yonglie first wrote Small Smart Wandering in the Future, a sci-fi classic of the 1.0 stage. Later, he wrote The Case of Kim Minggoliang, which evolved into 2.0 stage sci-fi. It was a detective plus sci-fi genre, where each story was a case, sometimes even a case within a case, and Ye Yonglie organized the plots very smoothly.

By the 1950s and 1960s, European and American sci-fi had basically evolved into 2.0 stage sci-fi, where writers would not publish a story without recounting the full story. By the 1990s, Chinese sci-fi had basically completed this transformation.
