With a broad field vision and a critical discourse close to the scene, this book outlines the overall appearance and characteristics of current Chinese children's literature on the basis of in-depth exploration and analysis of typical writers and typical works since the second decade of the new century, and provides a comprehensive review of Chinese children's literature in the new century. The history and current situation of literature are explained and interpreted, and the ideological trend of Chinese children's literature is reflected. It also uses multiple typical texts as a breakthrough point to propose new growth points for the original basic theories of children's literature such as the nature, concepts and categories of children's literature, the basic genres of children's literature and its characteristics. On top of rich research on writers' works and children's literature phenomena, this book also uses a relatively complete critical framework to suggest and construct the possibilities for the development of children's literature theory since the second decade of the new century. This book also specially includes the short reviews written by the author for the annual children's books of "China Reading News" over the past five years, presenting rich and vivid literary cases over time, which resonate with the literary scene.
