The Religious Dimension of Contemporary Chinese Literature

Cong Xinqiang Et Al.

203K0

Literature pays attention to "people", especially to express the "three natures" of people, namely: "animal nature", "human nature" and "divine nature". Setting the standard of "divinity" is not to achieve "divinity", but to obtain "humanity" and avoid being in "animal nature". In this sense, when literature expresses "human nature", it cannot leave the standpoint of "divinity"; literature is a "human science" and must always have a "theological" reference. This is the charm of literature. This book believes that compared with realist essences such as "enlightenment", "revolution", "criticism" and "survival", the power of contemporary Chinese literature also comes from "fraternity" at the theological and spiritual level, and "fraternity realism" has become a definition of realist literary form.
