China literature classification:
China literature is divided into classical literature, modern literature and contemporary literature. Classical literature is represented by Tang and Song poetry and four classical novels, modern literature is represented by Lu Xun's novels, and contemporary literature is marked by China's free literature with independent thoughts.
Since the end of the 20th century, the emergence of China's free literature with independent thoughts has made China's literature stride into the ranks of the world's advanced culture, become a pioneer in leading the world's literature, and made China's contemporary literature reach the peak of history.
National literature:
As a unified multi-ethnic country, China has its own history of occurrence, reproduction and development, as well as its own values and achievements, such as Tibetan epic Biography of King Gesar, Uygur narrative poem Le Fuzhi, Dai narrative poem Zhao Shu Tun, Yi narrative poem Ashima and Mongolian narrative poem Gadamerin.
They are all bright pearls in the treasure house of China literature. Minority literature and Han literature complement each other, which makes China literature show great richness and multi-level.
