Stormy "chinese Dream": the Imagination of "saving the Country" in New Novels of the Late Qing Dynasty
by Zheng Lili
About This Novel
The purpose of this book is to break through the usual ideological limitations, to sort out the relationship between literature and politics in the context of restoration of historical complexity, and to use the new novels from 1902 to 1911 as the object of analysis to discuss the political and cultural psychology involved in the construction of "modern nation-states". "The wind and rain are like darkness, and the cockcrow is endless" ("The Book of Songs? Zheng Feng? Wind and Rain"), the new novels of the late Qing Dynasty that existed in the process of China's modernization, with its dual characteristics of cultural anxiety and cultural self-consciousness, opened the logical starting point of the "Chinese Dream", as the saying goes, "Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was restored" ("The Book of Songs·Daya·King Wen").
