Why is China's literature so weak in the world?

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. [ 1]? Since the end of the 20th century, the emergence of China's free literature with independent thoughts has made China's literature stride into the ranks of the world's advanced culture, become a pioneer in leading the world's literature, and made China's contemporary literature reach the peak of history.

The literature of the Chinese nation is the * * * isomorphism of the literature of all ethnic groups with China literature as the main body. China literature has a long history of thousands of years. It has its own characteristics, special content, form and style, its own aesthetic ideal, its own dominant ideological and cultural tradition and theoretical criticism system. 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.

According to the different aesthetic relationship between art and the world, some people divide art into performance and reproduction. Reproduction art strives to objectively and accurately reflect the real world by means of perception and cognition, so that the reproduction of the real world is consistent and coincident with the image of art; The art of expression is to break the inherent normal combination of realistic appearances and recombine according to subjective will in the way of spiritual projection. Generally speaking, China literature tends to be expressive, which can be seen from the choice of genre and creative methods. First of all, in genre, China literature emphasizes lyricism, and narrative literature rises late and is not developed. In the whole history of poetry, from the earliest collection of ancient poetry, The Book of Songs, lyric poetry is spectacular, but narrative poetry is never prosperous enough. China's novels didn't improve until Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it was after the Tang Dynasty that he really had novel consciousness.

The appearance of novels was even postponed until the Ming Dynasty. China's drama literature is not only late, but also full of strong lyricism, which is close to the pattern of lyric poetry. The hypothetical virtual expression of China's operas is more popular with some expressionist dramatists (such as Brecht). Secondly, in terms of creative methods, China literature emphasizes freehand brushwork rather than realism. For example, the themes in classical poetry, such as sightseeing, visiting places of interest and visiting historical sites, can be used as narrative or descriptive works, but in many poems, they are often replaced by artistic means such as symbols, hints, metaphors and lyricism, which blurs the scene you see at a glance. For example, Chen Ziang wrote on the tower of Youzhou: "Where was the past before me? Behind me, where are the future generations? I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, my tears fall. " The specific description of Youzhou ancient platform is not mentioned at all, which is the regret of life, the outward projection of soul and the generation of thought. Ancient poetry often advocates the blending of scenes, in fact, it mainly expresses feelings with scenery, focusing on suppressing the venting and expression of emotions.
