About This Novel

Human beings have created civilization and culture, and people live in civilization and culture. Civilization and culture also restrict people. Humans are cultural animals. If culture is removed from humans, or if humans lose the ability to create civilization and culture, humans will no longer be human beings. This is what distinguishes humans from animals. This anthology places our country's modern prose in the rise of modern literature during the May Fourth Movement. The May Fourth New Culture Movement is roughly equivalent to the Western Enlightenment Movement. Looking back at the development of Chinese prose in the past century, it is generally equivalent to the rise and fall of various schools of Western literature over the past three to four hundred years. To be more precise, the historical development of modern Western literature over the past three to four hundred years has been condensed into one century and selectively introduced, disseminated and completed. The first two major chapters of modern Western prose are equivalent to the first climax period of the development and prosperity of modern prose in my country from the May 4th to the 1930s; the prose creation in Taiwan from the 1960s to the 1980s can be regarded as the second prosperous period of modern prose in my country. From the second half of the 1980s, both the mainland and Taiwan have been or are keeping pace with the world in terms of prose accepting the achievements of human culture in this century. The ups and downs and bumpy journey of our country's modern prose in the past two centuries shows that it is almost a necessary prerequisite to regard the achievements of foreign culture and civilization as a kind of impact and catalyst for the development of our national culture. Lu Xun said that the prose of the "May Fourth" period was based on the emerging poetry and novels; Zhou Zuoren said that the modern prose of the "May Fourth" came from two sources, one is the tradition of Ming and Qing sketches, and the other is the spread of British sketches, which is the product of the fusion of the two. The world's prose classics include Eastern volumes and Western volumes.
