Based on the Confucian tradition of Confucian thinking in the late Qing Dynasty to the May 4 during the process of evolution analysis traditional novels in the late Qing pointed out the difficulties and limitations; Meanwhile, "there are novels in the late Qing Dynasty suppression of Modern Novels" idea came into question. The writer believes that, whether from the perspective of modernity within the framework of traditional thinking or analysis. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, May 4 literary novels in the late Qing Dynasty and there are fundamental differences, After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and also with the May 4th Literary fiction is very different. Both in cultural background, there are the ideological background of the different patterns and the quality of traditional and modern. Practical as a reference because of Confucian thinking in the late Qing Dynasty toward the novel was able to appear. In May 4th Literature only to show the tendency of certain ethosMay 4 to the late Qing Dynasty, is a traditional system for a tight corner, and then the process of disintegration; is a constant intrusion of modern Western thinking, then widely recognized in the process. To some extent, this is a qualitative and quantitative process. To understand this process, the clean-up has become the traditional and modern literature, and individual thinking, and many other groups and individuals on the premise thread. The writer believes that, exist in the late Qing Dynasty novel for the purpose of application can be thought of as the traditional understanding of modern Chinese literature and modern evolution reference.On one hand, the challenges facing the West, the Qing Dynasty fiction writers in the framework of the traditional Confucian ideology seek to deal with such problems, Practical thinking of taking the moral idealism and Confucian principles, In the novel concept of the traditional thinking of the technical re-revival hopes will be able to rely on the UN to save and solve the crisis. However, it is precisely in the novel reflects the traditional difficulties, revealing traditions in the face of the West, in the mode of thinking. values, cultural background, the multiple constraints. Such difficulties and limitations of Modern Chinese Literature is the ideological reasons. The other hand, the new literature in the May 4 under the premise of traditional thinking in the ideological background, cultural background. value life more respect from the West. Unlike traditional Chinese thinking in order to establish a "new literary tradition." In this new tradition, as represented by Economic Thought of the Chinese traditional Confucian thought has lost vitality, into a rigid cultural symbols, although the literati class, saving the spirit of the new writers still have some impact, but has been eliminated by the times. Such thinking of the traditional fault, as the traditional literature and the biggest difference between the new literature.This paper is based on Wang and other Western scholars to refute the above. The writer believes that the 1990s to about 19, compared to the West aware of the level of civilization of the Chinese civilization crisis. Most people's knowledge has become quite widespread consensus that in a manner consistent with this novel concept from the literature, narrative physical production, is a breakthrough in the period before the changes. Such changes, and earlier in the evolution of the traditional type of internal self-content and the dimensions are quite different. David Wang, and the changes occurred in the late Qing Dynasty as defined in the literature of the later, slightly literary equivalent upsurge in the late Qing Dynasty, he said.Wang is not aware of the changes before, Therefore by "Ministry, said the changes" and "traditional literature on the effects of" nameless, However, as defined by second intention of the foregoing guidance on the difference between two far he has not given enough attention. In fact, his real concern, and he is truly recognized as the "modernity", only after the changes in the literary period.In the study, I thought of trying to "thinking on the world" as a focal point, to create a framework for understanding history. In order to explore the internal ideological evolution novels in the late Qing Dynasty. In this analytical framework, the problem has become even more specific : "After thinking the world of" internal value proposition and knowledge What can achieve what extreme? These value proposition is and how to access the knowledge that the Ministry of the late Qing Dynasty? In the late Qing dynasty and the cultural domain of this new novel, and historical imagination, material technology and the practice of what life intense dialogue, thereby creating difficulties and limitations of the traditional? How should we understand the changes in the form of ideas and art history, the intricate relationship between politics? The answer to this series of questions, the authors try to find such a historical context : Literature of the late Qing dynasty's political thought, be regarded as a traditional self-contained Ministry said deconstruction, After the Opium War in China can also be interpreted as the official (author) accept the premise of Western ideas.This paper has five novels in the late Qing dynasty example, the specific discussion of the traditional crisis, the plight of tradition, the disintegration of traditional, The collapse of the traditional process. Thinking that in the background, out of a more traditional novels in the late Qing Dynasty factors. Western scholars thus proving the theory, reading the text Examined loopholes. Text in, the premise of this theory with two reasons. In a bid to include the interrelationship between the various forces in the literary, historical understanding of thinking and knowledge proposition. They were seen as rigid and not to lose vitality; Second, not only by the thought of Confucianism and other care, as explained in the target and spared no effort to live as the late Qing Dynasty novel constitute force.This paper concludes that between May 4 and the late Qing Dynasty, more of a cultural rather than undertake the fracture. In conclusion, the author's literary thoughts on the Practical difficulties with the Western value of the building, May 4 to establish the theme of literary thinking, change the identity of the three authors described the difference in the nature of the late Qing Dynasty and May 4. Meanwhile, also acknowledged that "the world economy by the" ideological tendency of the literati, traditional thinking and still have a certain influence on modern literature. The writer believes that the Enlightenment Movement in Modern Chinese Literature, Western knowledge of traditional knowledge to conquer China. The process of transformation and reorganization, a new knowledge of the birth and rise accompanied by the birth and rise of new intellectuals in the process, but also a profound social transformation process. Practical, from the literature of the Enlightenment concept of the literary theme Confucian tradition of the opinion that he could no longer carry the result of changing times and drastic changes. it is logical and modern Western system of values in the overwhelmingly traditional ideology has become the theme of the times.
