In The Second Thing, he used the theory of evolution to shout out the pioneering slogan that "the literature of an era has an era", which broke the China people's deep-rooted superstition that "the literature of ancient people is better than that of modern people", and then put forward the concept that "today's China should make today's literature", which promoted the vernacular novel of "only writing about today's social situation" to "the status of world-class literature" and called it.
