Chat on Chinese Modern Literature


Chinese language has been very popular nowadays, and so many things related to Chinese have become fashionable as well. And more and more people would like to learn this language because of this. Most people hope they can speak Chinese very well in the future, so they choose to learn speaking in this language. Others like some experts hoping to research on Chinese, they prefer the written form. In them some people like Chinese literature, wishing to get comparison between Chinese and English literature.

Literature definitely can be devided into several groups in terms of its style. We know novel, prose, poem, critical essay and play.

In Chinese classical literature such things appear to be difficult to understand,for such things are almost in ancient Chinese language which always appears too ambiguous and elusive to understand even to Chinese citizens. Certainly some of them like A Dream of Red Mansions(novel) and Pilgrimage to the West(The hero in it is Monkey King.) are not too difficult to comprehend. Certainly such things also show something about ancient flavour. By comparison modern Chinese is more approachable.

I myself love modern Chinese literature more. Chinese modern literature appears easier to understand in terms of its superficial meaning. And another very important thing in it is that this kind of art form tells people how Chinese people live and think in modern times, and it injects a new kind of ideology to Chinese people. Ancient Chinese literature maybe think that the highest sovereign is emperor of the nation. But modern Chinese literature thinks that people should be equal and everyone is important. It pursues peace and freedom. From all kinds of art forms people can feel this idea.

Certainly one form in modern Chinese literature is very difficult to digest. It is poetry. Modern literature more stresses the meaning of the peom. People always use their feelings to compose. So if you need to read Chinese peoms, you need to learn basic Chinese literature and the stories happened in China decades a ago. It is similiar that you need to learn basic English literature and the poem's background if you hope to learn Ode to the West Wind by Shelley.




Language learning in our modern times is popular and useful, especially when you use a software to learn a foreign language. And when learning Spanish and English, you can try Rosetta Stone Chinese and Rosetta stone English.
