Research On The Canonization And Decanonization Of Red Canon Chao Yang Gou

Red canon Chang Yang Gou as a contemporary Chinese drama was written in 1958 in Henan, which now has gone much beyond literature itself and become a cultural phenomenon with Chinese characteristics. This paper analyses the canonization and decanonization from the perspective of cultural studies. The author argues that the red canon embodies not only the artistic norm of certain classes and groups, but also the cultural legitimacy. The process of canonization and decanonization thus necessarily involves the struggle over cultural egemony.
