The ideological trend of China's left-wing literature in the first half of the 20th century is not only the dominant ideological trend of the times, but also a part of the world's left-wing literature. The left-wing literature in China in this period closely linked itself with the fate of the oppressed people in the motherland and the oppressed people in the world. Popularization and cosmopolitanism are two notable features of China's left-wing ideological trend.

The left-wing literary movement brought practical Marxism to China and formed Marxist literary criticism based on historical materialism. The "proletarian cultural school" of the Soviet Union, "Lapp" and bogdanov's theory of "literary and artistic organizational life" have all become the theoretical sources of China's left-wing literature.
A considerable part of articles by Lu Xun, Qu Qiubai, Mao Dun, Hu Feng, Zhou Yang, Feng Xuefeng, etc. summarize the practical experience of China's left-wing literary creation with Marxism that has been tested by Soviet revolutionary practice.
It is an excellent literary theory work that "expounds the author's thoughts and the composition of his works according to the social ideological trend, and criticizes whether this social ideological trend and the tendency of his works are true or not" (Feng Xuefeng's On the Writers of Society), and it has played an important guiding role in the development of China's left-wing literature.
