Using the methods of "local knowledge" proposed by anthropologist Clifford Geertz and Foucault's "archeology of knowledge", this book enters the space of the literary supplement of Sin Chew Daily (1988-2009), which has a huge influence in Malaysian Chinese society. From the perspective of the relationship between media and literature, it explores the aesthetic transformation of Malaysian Chinese literary thought from "Mahua Chinese Literature" to "Literary Mahua" in the past twenty years amid the anxiety of subjectivity construction. In this transformation of aesthetic forms, literary supplements have always intervened and intervened as an invisible structural force in the field of Malaysian Chinese literary power. Since the "little literature" Malaysian Chinese literature mainly resides in newspaper supplements with culture as the medium and business as the background, under the "cultural newspaper" strategy, the literary supplement of "Sin Chew Daily" uses the "literature-culture" production process to promote the aesthetic evolution of Malaysian Chinese literary trends.
