The Relationship between Modern Literature and Tradition

Feeling is just a personal feeling ~ it is the relationship between breaking and standing, but this relationship between breaking and standing is not antagonistic, but unified.

In fact, in China's modern and contemporary literature, the issue of dating and inheritance has always been a very annoying issue, because our sections are always divided according to political time zones, and no one can say that 49 years later, it will be contemporary literature at once. However, even in more than ten years, the humanitarian concern of the Beijing school has disappeared and become a model of opposition between the two camps. In the 1980 s, the theme of struggle suddenly entered the scar and reflection.

Similarly, this situation also appears in modern literature. In my opinion, the contradiction between breaking and standing is the most obvious in Lu Xun. He can't get rid of traditional influences, such as language, including the historical background and environment he described. He is realistic and wants to reflect life, so he must reflect tradition, which is also reflected in the content. On the other hand, Tasso's technology is new, and so is his theme. Another example is Shen Congwen, whose "artistic conception" and poeticization also belong to the category of cultural communication, but on the other hand, his novels have also carried out a lot of stylistic experiments. I really don't know anything about Hu Feng's literary works, except the book Time Begins, which I really don't know much about and haven't read. Ba Jin, I never liked it. Passion is more than enough, but a pen is not enough.

Actually, I think we can look at Hong Zicheng's problems and methods. Although it is contemporary literature, it has a deep discussion on the dating and inheritance of literature.
