About This Novel

As part of China's new literature, China's modern comedy originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, took shape in the 1920s after the May Fourth Movement, and achieved critical development in the 1930s. With the process of modern reshaping of Chinese comedy concepts, the issue of comedy legitimacy has been initially resolved. China's modern comedy art has entered a mature period since the mid-1930s, and ushered in its golden age after 1940. The historical transformation of Chinese comedy from its classical form to its modern form has been basically completed. With this as a background, this book systematically examines the ecological environment, ideological background, artistic type, development history, movement patterns, value stance, overall style and its contribution and influence in the history of Chinese comedy from 1927 to 1939 from three levels: macro, meso and micro based on the collection, screening and arrangement of historical materials. In addition, the book also has a special chapter to study the development path, type characteristics and interaction between humorous comedy, satirical comedy and comedy of manners in this period; and further explores the artistic pursuits of representative writers Ding Xilin, Xiong Foxi, Ouyang Yuqian, Li Jianwu, Chen Baichen, Xu Xu and other representative writers in this period and their creative achievements in the modern period based on key works. The appendix of this book is a study of Lin Yutang's humorous thoughts and Zhu Guangqian's comedy thoughts and a catalog of the main modern Chinese comedy works from 1927 to 1939.
