Three Key Words That Influence Modern Chinese Literature

About This Novel
Keyword research is not just a research method, but a way of thinking. It can be said that a keyword means an ideological concept. But this kind of ideological concept is not just the thought itself, it is inextricably linked with history, era, culture, tradition, experience, etc. The three key words of modern Chinese literature, "enlightenment", "science" and "humanism", are both representative and able to integrate Chinese and Western ancient and modern times. They seem to come from foreign lands, but in fact they are soaked in the juice of traditional Chinese culture. In terms of its logical relationship, "Enlightenment" is the general theory (politics, humanities), the latter two are sub-themes, "Science" is from the scientific and cultural perspective, and "Humanism" is discussed from the perspective of human nature and individuals. There is a red line running through these three keywords, that is, they all have the foundation of the traditional cultural spirit that has been obscured by the West, that is, the elite consciousness of modern Chinese writers like scholar-bureaucrats and the practical rationality of actively engaging with the world and applying it to the world, because in the final analysis, tradition is not "rupture", but "growth".
