Literature research society
The Literature Research Association is the first pure literature group in China's New Literature Movement, which was founded in 192 1 1, with Mao Dun and others as the initiator and Fiction Monthly as the position, actively advocating the literary revolution. Mao Dun, its main theorist, suggested that literature should honestly express life, especially the oppressed people. In terms of creative methods, he mainly advocates realism and opposes aestheticism and romanticism. The achievements of writers in the Literature Research Association are mainly manifested in novel creation, such as Mao Dun's trilogy Eclipse, Ye Shengtao's Ni Huanzhi, Xu Dishan's Weaving a Spider, and Bing Xin's Superman. Through the detailed description and in-depth analysis of reality, they all show the characteristics of realism and become the representative works of this expressionist literary school.
Chuangzaoshe
Founded in July of 192 1, it is one of the most accomplished and influential literary societies in the history of modern literature in China. Its main members are Guo Moruo and Yu Dafu, and its main publications are Creative Quarterly and Creative Weekly. The literature of the Creation Society advocates the obvious color of art for art's sake. It emphasizes that literature is a writer's self-expression, strongly opposes the social function of literature and art, and thinks that we should get rid of all utilitarianism and strive for self-improvement. At the same time, they strongly oppose social darkness. The main creative method of Creative Society is romanticism, which pays attention to expressing personal feelings and expressing one's own personality. For example, Guo Moruo's poetry anthology Qian Mao, Yu Dafu's Diluoxing, and A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze have all become representative works of the Creation Society, with strong subjective lyrical color and distinct romantic tendency.
Xinyueshe
Crescent Society was founded in Beijing, 1923. Its activities moved to Shanghai in the spring of 1927 and ended in 1933. Its main members are Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo, Wen Yiduo and Liang Shiqiu. They took the Morning Post Supplement as their position, and later founded Poetry Weekly and Crescent Monthly. Crescent Society is a faction involving politics, ideology, scholarship and literature, which shows the characteristics of bourgeois liberalism in thought and organization. Its main contribution in the history of modern literature in China lies in new poetry. Wen Yiduo, Xu Zhimo and others put forward the idea of new metrical poetry in view of the prosaic tendency embodied in free verse. They have an aesthetic tendency to pursue the art of poetry, but this is of great significance to the development of the artistic skills of new poetry at that time. Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge and Wen Yiduo's Dead Water are both representative works of the Crescent School.
Yusi club
The Silk Society, named Silk Weekly, was founded in Beijing in June 1924 1 1. It is composed of the main writers of Yusi, and the main representatives are Zhou Zuoren, Lu Xun, Lin Yutang, Qian, Sun Fuyuan, Yu Pingbo and Liu Bannong. It is the earliest publication in the history of modern literature in China, mainly publishing mixed feelings, short comments and sketches. The prose creation of Silk Society writers has formed a unique "silk" style, which is arbitrary in ideological content and innovative in art, with literary sketches and essays as the main forms, humorous and ironic. The sharp and pungent essays represented by Lu Xun and the elegant essays represented by Zhou Zuoren and Lin Yutang formed two categories of prose creation, which had an important influence on the development of prose.
