Hu Shi, a famous scholar, is a pioneer who actively advocates vernacular poetry. My humble opinion on literary improvement published by him in 19 17 is the first article advocating literary revolution. 19 16 At the end of the year, Hu Shi, who was studying in the United States, sent the manuscript of Improvement of Literature to New Youth, edited by Chen Duxiu, and published it in the fifth issue of the second volume. Then, in the next issue, Chen Duxiu published his own "On Literary Revolution" to show his support. In May of the following year, 19 18, Lu Xun published Diary of a Madman in Volume 4, No.5 of the journal. Thus, China's modern literature took a difficult first step. It mainly points out the direction for China literature in the new period. Anyway, there must be something in it. Second, don't imitate the ancients. Third, we must emphasize grammar. Fourth, don't moan without illness. Fifth, don't use cliches. Six words, no code. Seven days, no confrontation. Eight words, do not avoid common words and idioms. This is everyone's evaluation. But personally, I think it's all bullshit Literature refers to the art of using language to vividly reflect the objective reality, including drama, poetry, novels, essays and so on. It is an important manifestation of culture, which expresses inner feelings in different forms (called genres) and reproduces social life in a certain period and region. China literature has been circulating for more than 5000 years (from Cang Xie and Fuxi to the Republic of China). Ancient literature has the following characteristics: poetry-oriented, good mentality, implicit and optimistic spirit. Catchy, profound and concise. What Hu Shi said must be meaningful. Who writes articles that are not about things (people, things, things, theories)? Second, don't imitate the ancients. Why can't we imitate the ancients and write that fascinating story with a few numbers? Third, we must emphasize grammar. Is it true that ancient Chinese did not pay attention to grammar? Symmetry, thimble and metaphor can't appear in ancient Chinese? Fourth, don't moan without illness. Or some poor scholars like to read articles full of nonsense, but what about Qu Yuan? What about Yang Xiong? How about the Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties? How about Li Bai and Du Fu? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are today's articles really full of disgusting groans? Fifth, don't use cliches. Do formulaic phrases appear more frequently in modern Chinese or ancient Chinese? Six words, no code. Well, I can only say that literature is not all scientific papers. Seven days, no confrontation. This, I am too lazy to refute. Eight words, do not avoid common words and idioms. Well, I admit that modern Chinese has done this, but ancient Chinese can't. Just like a beggar can wipe his nose on his body, I can't do it either.
