What leisure humor did Zhou Zuoren advocate in the 1930s?

A short essay advocating leisure and humor.

As a master of modern prose, Zhou Zuoren was famous in the literary world during the May 4th Movement. The satirical essays that criticize the disadvantages of the times are impetuous and sharp, full of fighting vitality and embody the spirit of the times. After the May 4th Movement, Zhou Zuoren was in the swing and transformation between a traitor to feudal tradition and a recluse, and his artistic interest also showed a tendency of being calm (peaceful and diluted).

As the editor-in-chief and one of the main contributors of Yusi Weekly, Zhou Zuoren's prose creation has reached its peak, with both essays touching the reality of "King Kong glaring" and essays "Leisurely Nanshan".

Under the influence of Zhou Zuoren, a school of prose creation including writers such as Yu Pingbo and Fei Ming was formed in the 1920s, which A Ying called "a very authoritative school". In 1930s, Zhou Zuoren advocated casual and humorous essays and "closed reading".
