The thesis chooses five issues that obtained comprehensive attention and arosed contention frequently in the twentieth century about Chinese literature especially classical literature to compose the researchful framework. Each chapter includes three sections and discusses one issue, and each section includes two portions. In order to indicate stimulative action that Chinese literary research to the Marxist literary theory applied in China, as well as the infection that Marxist conception to Chinese literary research,â… pay attention to the relationship between these issues and Marxism as well as the historical course of the Marxist literary theory applied in China during the course of dissertation.The dissertation is comprised of five parts.The first chapter discusses argumentation about literary legacy. Classical literature of the twentieth century existed by the way of legacy, first of all, we should discuss the different conceptions about literary legacy. At the beginning thirty years of the twentieth century, it appeared determined controversy on how to treat literary legacy, and this concentrative represented in the "May 4th"Literature Revolution, innovators carried through determined controversy which aimed at all kinds of animadvert thoughts. At the same time, Marxist thoughts grow up. At the beginning of our country was founded, the Communist Party and our nation shape the course of critical inheritance, but it appeared misplay of thinking much of criticizing and making light of inheriting during the course of practical implementation, this brought damnify to classical literature research. Since the new period, scholars research classical literature by means of practical coordinate and textual research, which not only inherite the literary legacy, but also innovate on the base of it.The second chapter mainly concentrates on the variational relations between literature and politics. Marxist literary theory pays especially attention to the relations between literature and politics. In class struggle and national liberation movement at the beginning of the twentieth century, the relation between literature research and politics was not close. When our country was founded, along with political tendency was established and literary research was restricted by political status, it put up the phenomenon that discussed the spirit of patriotism, excavated class consciousness and democratic, negated humanity and so on. After the new period, theoretic field introspected lessons, classical literature field get rid of the thinking pattern which regarded politics as focus, was established research in literature itself, participated in ethos regurgitate and social culture construction, and exploited brand-new conditions of the research in a loose political circumstance.The third chapter mainly discusses the debates about realism. It was an actual distance that the issue of realism was extensively discussed during the course of the Marxism literary theory applied in China. It was drived by the theory about struggle between realism and anti-realism which put forward by Mao Dun after our country was founded, the history of Chinese literature field began to debate about realism, bookmakings appeared a demeanour that applied Mao Dun's viewpoints directly. This researchful status related to the thoughts of the history of modern Chinese literature. During the course of introspection about realism, we could find the academic background and idealistic springhead of it. Since the new period, argumentation about realism was continued, but had more technicality and sense, and acquired tremendous achievements as a result.The forth chapter mainly concentrates on the transformation of the researchful patterns. The discussion about researchful patterns and methods of literature research, can also embodies the achievements that academia acquired during the course of the Marxist literary theory applied in China. The researchful pattern before our country was founded come through a mutative process from believing, suspecting and explaining ancient history, many scholars who persisted in traditional methods become masters in the field of classical literature research. At the beginning of our country was founded, under the political system of centralize, owing to prominence of the literary clannish principia, the social and historical method had taken up a primary station, acquired achievements, but had parochialism inevitably. During the new period, the researchful methods become multiplicate, and come through a transformation from methodology and theory "craze" to theory "cooling" and methodological integration, this put up pure-hearted persist in research and practical method of scholastic spirit on the whole.The fifth chapter mainly discusses the cross swords of academic discourse. In academic activity, discourse predicates authority, we should excavate animate discourse which is applicable to nowadays, and enrich the the Marxist theory of literature and art. In the first half of the twentieth century, lingual transformation and popular of literature movement which lead by Marxian in China's New-literary movement, spured colloquial vulgarism come into being, and embodied discourse power diversion on lingual modality. After our country was founded, ideological discourse inundant, it appeared academic contention under the "Shuang Bai Policy", however, brought damnify to literary research. In the new period, academia called to constitute academic discourse renewedly, represented in the course of Chinese classical literary theory's modern transformation and the construction which has the China's ethnical character's theory of literature and art. The Marxist discourse mode has it's universality while move with the times.In research, I adopt the mode of elucidating theory by a study on history. And try my best to prove the inner and exterior relations of literature and literary research, the profound wisdom and clinging aspiration of scholars, by describing the historical reality of Chinese literary research. And this can inspirit myself to go forward on the academic way.
