This is the first monograph to discuss the new overseas Chinese literature in Japan. This book examines the history of new overseas Chinese literature in Japan in a global context, explores its particularity, importance, and the need to fill in the gaps, and proposes a three-stage theory over the past thirty years. It has a novel perspective, detailed information, and the theory is derived from history. It is a comprehensive, systematic, and holistic research result that reflects the process and appearance. This book studies Japanese new overseas Chinese literature for thirty years (1990-2020), corresponding to (or connecting) thirty years of modern Chinese literature (1917-1949), and has innovative significance in filling the gap.

Its significance is not only the expansion of Chinese literature overseas, but the deepening or "growth" of Chinese literature itself overseas. What is more significant is that because these poems and essays grew up in Japan, a place where Chinese people's emotions are extremely entangled and pain is always fresh, they have a unique and heterogeneous aesthetic value.

Bourdieu felt that only from this standpoint could a critique of classical social theory be established. This book provides an in-depth analysis of Bourdieu's literary sociology and is an excellent literary theory work.

World literature has now become a cutting-edge theoretical topic, and famous scholars from both East and West, such as Franco Moretti, David Damrosch, Theo D'haen, Wang Ning, and Zhang Longxi, have published a large number of works on this topic. Ling Shuhua is an important writer who has not been paid much attention in the history of modern Chinese literature. Ling Shuhua has lived in China for a long time and has a profound foundation in Chinese culture. During her diasporic experience from China to Europe, Ling Shuhua introduced modern Chinese literature to Western readers and used her own way to make Western readers pay attention to and read Chinese literary works, especially those interested in Chinese history, literature, women's studies, and autobiography. In a sense, the development process of world literature can be regarded as the diasporic writing of diasporic writers and intellectuals.

Historical biography is literature, which is first of all a conceptual recognition, that is, early people's recognition of the homogeneous and homogeneous relationship between history and literature. At the same time, historical biographies contain the nature, characteristics and charm of literature. Secondly, as literature, historical biography itself is inextricably linked with various types and genres of literature, such as folk literature, poetry, prose, novels, and dramas, and has great relevance. Such as the symbiosis and co-prosperity of themes and mutual sources; the interoperability of genres; the mutual reference of expression techniques; the insertion and compatibility of historical biographies into various literary texts; the collection and commentary of various literary historical materials, etc. This book is based on the latter relationship. This framework incorporates the content of the former relationship into the discussion process, trying to more comprehensively explore the relationship between historical biography and folk literature, ancient poetry, ancient prose, ancient novels, ancient opera and other types of literature, and reveal the interaction and symbiosis between historical biography and literature.

With the advent of the era of visual culture, the literary and art world is experiencing a "war" between "pictures" and "literature." Literature based on language and characters is squeezed and challenged by "image hegemony." Some scholars even pessimistically lamented: "The dusk of literature has arrived" and "literature has come to an end." In order to respond to the above-mentioned cultural phenomena, this book starts from the perspective of visual culture and selects many hot literary phenomena at the turn of the century, such as "pictorialization of literary journals", "picture books", "film and television adaptations of novels" and "new generation", "post-70s", "Shanghai nostalgia", "body writing", "petty bourgeoisie writing", "beauty literature", etc., To comprehensively consider the survival scene of Chinese literature at the turn of the century from both aesthetic and communication perspectives.

This book takes Sun Li's novels as the research object, including Sun Li's novels written during the Anti-Japanese War, the land reform period and the "Yunzhai Novels" in his later years. Through careful analysis and in-depth dissection of the text, we find the relationship between the themes and narrative styles of Sun Li's novels in different periods; we discover the hidden mechanism of the deep integration between the narrative models of Sun Li's novels in different periods and the themes of the times under the perspective of heterogeneous space; we find that the historical evolution of Sun Li's novels and the sudden change of style in his later years are unified under his literary ideals. In other words, Sun Li's literary "ambition" unites his novels in different periods, and his "changes" are not only reasonable, but also preset.

This book overall explores the "dramatization" theory and poetic effects in the development of new poetry. On the basis of examining cross-lingual influences and combing historical materials, this article examines the "dramatic" poetic discourse and poet text strategies in several concentrated stages of the development of new poetry from the perspective of genre integration such as "novel poeticization", and clarifies the vertical connections or similarities and differences between the New Moon Poetry School, the Nine-leaf School of Poetry and the "dramatization" of poetry in the 1990s in terms of connotative forms, foreign influences and poetic mechanisms, and in On the premise of retaining the non-poetry pursuit of "dramatization", this paper analyzes three "dramatic" poetic connotations of "dramatic subject", "conflict poetic thought" and "dramatic scene". Based on the representative texts of outstanding poets, it explains the poetic validity of "dramatic" writing in new poetry at three levels: alienating or extending subjective consciousness, condensing contradictory emotional experiences, and activating daily language.

The external dissemination of Chinese culture and literature is closely related to the issue of cultural soft power. From a historical perspective, the contrast between the strength and weakness of cultural soft power has a clear role in promoting or hindering the spread of literature. The rise and fall of Chinese literature is a probe of the inner foundation of China's cultural soft power.

This book aims to gain a glimpse of the long-standing interdependence between Korean Peninsula literature and Chinese literature through the study of the historical and Chinese poems written by Yi Kyu Bo in the mid-Goryeo Dynasty from the perspective of the influence of comparative literature. The national characteristics and strong inclusiveness of Korean Peninsula literature are revealed in this process. The dictatorship of Goryeo warriors and the plunder of the Korean peninsula by foreign enemies in the era of Li Kuibo were undoubtedly important driving forces for the creation of Li Kuibo's epic poem. As a result, the characteristics of Li Kuibo's epic poems such as strong national consciousness, love for the country's history and culture, allusions to warriors, the tendency to entertain oneself with poetry, wine and women, and the transformation of the poetic style from heroic to plain were presented one by one. As a result, the epic poems on the Korean Peninsula flourished further during the late period of the late Li Dynasty and early early Xian Dynasty.

The transcendentalist ideas and their presentation techniques at the formal level in the novels "The Adventures of Augie March", "Rain King Henderson", "Herzog", "Mr. Sammler's Planet" and "Humboldt's Gift" by American Jewish writer Saul Bellow show that Bellow was influenced by traditional transcendentalist ideas during his creation. However, due to the differences in historical context, Bellow sublated traditional transcendentalist ideas. Based on the theory of literary sociology, this book uses interviews, Bellow's critical articles, biographies, etc. As evidence to focus on the dominant themes throughout Bellow's novels - spiritual pursuit and moral purpose. The conclusion points out: Although Bellow's novels have both realism and romanticism characteristics, Bellow's criticism of society, the construction of a utopian vision and his moral sentiments for saving the world cannot be ignored.

Of course, the "Cantos" is essentially a heterogeneous text, a collection of symbols composed of various referents and countless discourses, full of complex meanings, so its interpretation is also full of openness.
