To study modern and contemporary literature, we must be fully familiar with the history of modern and contemporary literature and a large number of works, and understand its overall appearance and basic content. The research field of modern and contemporary literature is constantly expanding, and the renewal of new theoretical methods is also constantly promoting the in-depth development of research. From works to appreciation, from singleness to group, from genre to ideological trend, from literature to psychology, region and religion, especially literary criticism matching literary works, we constantly accept new theoretical methods to show and enrich the research content of modern and contemporary literature. In the face of such a vibrant discipline, how to choose a research direction, a new research angle or a suitable starting point is very important. The following can refer to the perspectives of several topics.

Start with individual cases or partial cases. For example, the comparison of modernist poetry styles between Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland, and the comparison between Ah Q and Don Quixote. Don't compare the problems that touch the whole situation. For example, the comparison between China's classical poetry and modern English poetry, and the comparison between eastern and western novels in the 20th century are all macro-issues, which cannot be involved and should not be the subject of academic papers. Even microscopic comparison, some topics are very big, such as the comparison of the images of intellectuals in Hamlet and China's modern literature, and the comparison of western war science fiction and Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which still cannot fully explain the problem. So, don't choose projects that you can't do.

The development of China's literary theory, the renewal of research methods and the change of theoretical concepts are all influenced by western literary theory. In particular, the literary thoughts and schools summarized by modernism, such as symbolism, expressionism, postmodernism and magical realism, have greatly influenced the development of literary theory in the second century. Therefore, we should pursue the emergence of its concept and its practical significance.
