Appreciation of Modern Prose in China is a collection of excellent essays as one of the new literary genres during the thirty years from China 19 19 to 1949. Its achievements are very gratifying. As Lu Xun said, China's prose "The May 4th Movement started again, and the success of essays was almost above novels, operas and poems" (the crisis of essays). About the content and artistic expression of prose sketches in this historical period, it can be said that it presents a complex and colorful scene. As Zhu Ziqing summed up in 1928: "As for prose, the development of these three or four years is really colorful: there are various styles and schools that express, criticize and explain all aspects of life, which are changing with each passing day; There are celebrities in China, foreign gentlemen, hermits and traitors, ideologically; Or describe, or satirize, or bend, or meticulous, or vigorous, or beautiful, or wash, or flow, or hidden, in performance.
