Summary:

This book systematically discusses the academic connotations of the concept of "Modern Chinese Literature", as well as its basic categories. The discipline founded upon this concept is influential both in China and throughout the world, and scholars engaged in teaching and research in this field number around ten thousand. The discipline was originally established in haste in an abnormal academic environment, and, with the passage of time, such derivative disciplines as "Contemporary Chinese Literature", "20th Century Chinese Literature", "the Literature of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau" and "World Chinese Literature" have appeared. This book argues that these fields should be united in the area of "New Literature in Chinese", because they have a shared language, culture and tradition. In today's multi-polar world, where Chinese literature is so diversified, such an approach is obviously helpful.
