Who can give me a brief talk about left-wing literature and the May 4th literary revolution?

Both the May 4th literature and the left-wing literature were produced under the influence of foreign literature, but there are significant differences in the way of "literary acceptance": the May 4th literary revolution has a global vision and its influence is diversified, so it never aims at a unified theory, and the influence of foreign literary works has played a direct and significant role in its development.

Left-wing literature aims at seeking and establishing a unified literary guiding ideology from the beginning, so "criticism" and "controversy" have become a major symbol and feature in its development process, and the influence of foreign literary thoughts is obviously greater than that of foreign literary works.

China Left-wing Writers' Union is the abbreviation of Left-wing Writers' Union. /kloc-0 was established in Shanghai on March 2, 930, and was dissolved in 1936. The main promoters are Lu Xun, Shen Duanxian and Feng Naichao. At the inaugural meeting, Lu Xun made a famous speech "Views on the League of Left-wing Writers", which was its program. It advocates judging the existing literary phenomena with Marxist criticism, emphasizing the exposure and criticism of the dark side of society, and emphasizing the writer's world outlook and the authenticity of his works. Main literary activities: the establishment of Marxist literary theory research society, strengthening the translation, introduction and research of Marxist literary theory; Strive to introduce proletarian literature from the Soviet Union and other countries in the world; Left-wing literature has made brilliant achievements in all fields of literary creation. The essays represented by Lu Xun, novels represented by Mao Dun and Jiang Guangci, poems represented by Jiang Guangci and Yin Fu, and dramas represented by Tian Han and Xia Yan have all made great achievements. New Dream, Farewell to Brothers, Lisa's Sorrow, Diary of Ms. Sha Fei, Eclipse, Midnight, etc. Become immortal works in the history of modern literature.

From the beginning of 19 17 to the period after the May 4th Movement, there was a literary revolution that opposed old literature and advocated new literature. This literary revolution was first initiated by New Youth magazine sponsored by Chen Duxiu. 19 17, 1 In June, New Youth published Hu Shi's Improvement of Literature, and put forward eight things to improve literature, that is, to have something to say, not to imitate the ancients, not to talk about grammar, not to moan about diseases, not to break formulas, not to use classics, not to talk about antithesis, and so on. And put forward the view that "the combination of words and literature" and vernacular literature should be "the authenticity of China literature". Then, Chen Duxiu published "On Literary Revolution" and put forward three principles of literary revolution aimed at opposing feudal literature: knocking down polished aristocratic literature and establishing popular and lyrical national literature; Pushing down stale and luxurious classical literature and building fresh and sincere realistic literature; Pushing down pedantic mountain literature and constructing clear and popular social literature. These two articles became the program and declaration of the literary revolution. The literary revolution advocated immediate response from some fellow travelers and young people. Qian expressed "absolute approval", dismissing those parallel prose and prose that imitated ancient times and were popular for a while, and considered it "choosing schools as evil" and "Tongcheng fallacy"; He also provided evidence for the literary revolution with the historical facts of the evolution of language and writing. Liu Bannong's articles, such as My View of Literary Improvement and Spiritual Innovation of Poetry and Novels, put forward constructive suggestions on breaking the superstition of ancient Chinese, establishing beautiful vernacular Chinese, destroying the old rhyme of poetry and recreating new rhyme.

Before and after the May 4th Movement, the theories and propositions of the literary revolution were more distinctly anti-feudal. 19 19 At the beginning of this year, Chen Duxiu held the banner of scientific democracy higher, saying that the literary revolution "will not be delayed if it breaks its head and bleeds". Lu Xun became the great standard-bearer of the literary revolution with the fiercest and most enthusiastic fighting. Zhou Zuoren's ideas of "human literature", "civilian literature" and "ideological revolution" made a concrete and in-depth demonstration of new literature from the ideological content. Li Dazhao published articles such as "New Era" and "What is New Literature", which not only criticized the zombies of the old feudal literature, but also criticized the "new poison" of the budding bourgeois literature. He pointed out: "The new literature we demand is realistic literature facing the society", and it should have "profound thoughts, theories, firm beliefs, beautiful literature and art, and the spirit of fraternity". 1965438+In May 2008, New Youth was written in the vernacular. Then, the supplements of the morning paper, current affairs news and the Republic of China Daily were also changed into vernacular Chinese. According to statistics, there are more than 400 vernacular publications in 19 19.

Followed by the advocacy of theory, it is the practice of new literature creation. 19 17 In February, New Youth published eight vernacular poems of Hu Shi, followed by the vernacular poems of Hu Shi, Liu Bannong and Shen in June 19 17. Later, Lu Xun, Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu also created new poems. 19 18 In May, New Youth published Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman, exposing the feudal cannibalism ethics and system, and then published Kong Yiji and Medicine. Later, Guo Moruo published "Phoenix Nirvana" and a large number of poems later included in "Goddess", all of which were permeated with the thorough spirit of anti-imperialism and feudalism and the color of sturm und drang's times. Are the initial results of this revolution. New literary writers, such as the Literary Research Association and the Creation Society, which were established soon, enriched and developed the achievements of the May 4th literary revolution with their own creative achievements.

The new literature, which was born in the May 4th literary revolution, has brought about comprehensive and profound changes in the language, genre, expression and ideological content of China literature, and started the process of modernization and reform of China literature, which is of epoch-making significance in the history of China literature.
