As the first novel magazine of modern Chinese novels,New Novel is regarded as one of the four major newspapers and periodicals in the late Qing Dynasty.It has an important position in the history of modern Chinese literature and even in the history of Chinese literature.New Novel can stand on the historical yellow line of the old and new replacements to create a new concept and new landscape of Chinese novel creation,and promote the transformation of Chinese novels from traditional to modern,and make important contributions to the rise of modern Chinese novels.The rise of modern Chinese novels combines various social and historical factors and is well prepared for literature.The prosperity of modern literary journals is only one of the obvious reasons.The reason why we chose New Novel as the rise of modern Chinese novels is that it is a periodical magazine that advocates the creation of "new novels" in the modern sense in the early,relatively systematic and concentrated way in China.The world perspective has the aesthetic factors of modernity,and it also spawned the creation of a large number of novel journals.Especially as an important birthplace and main front of the "Fiction Revolution",the novel concept and novel creation of New Novel profoundly influenced the innovation consciousness of “Fiction Revolution” and provided the creation of the “May 4th” new novel.Important literary resources.Our observation of New Novel is not limited to the magazine itself,but it is reset to the historical scene,historically and socially to understand the root cause and significance of the emergence of New Novel.The emergence of New Novel and New Novel is not a temporary rise of some thinkers and writers.They are an inevitable result of the development of modern Chinese society and a historical need in a specific historical stage.On the contrary,they also promoted to a certain extent.Progress in history.Behind the emergence and development of New Novel hides the unique characteristics,concepts and phenomena of modern Chinese society,politics,culture and literature.Therefore,the understanding and research of New Novel can help us to dig out the giant behind the times.The amount of information helps us to grasp the basic context of the development of modern novels and the enlightenment of modern Chinese literature on social thought.Combining with the basic historical reality of modern China,we can find that what is most needed at that time is not literature,but political,economic,and military affairs such as political reform,technological innovation,establishment of industry,and rectification of armaments.In an era when "salvation" became an important proposition,All people’s behaviors inevitably carry the “salvation” thinking.Under the great historical background of “salvation”,the enlightenment modernity expressed in New Novel is also for “salvation” service,and is a “curve saving the country” choice after Liang Qichao’s generation of intellectuals failed in top-down political reform.That is,through the political enlightenment of literature to educate the people,thus achieving a bottom-up political change.Therefore,New Novel has a strong political purpose and literary utilitarianism from the beginning,and also laid the tone for the tangled relationship between literature and politics in the next hundred years.The founding of New Novel is closely related to Liang Qichao,a modern Chinese thinker,politician,educator,historian and writer.It can be said that there is no "new novel" without Liang Qichao,and there is no "new novel" Liang Qichao in China.The meaning of literature will also be reduced.Liang Qichao is not only the founder and founder of New Novel but also the advocate of New Novel.The novel view and the concept of running a magazine in New Novel are deeply imprinted with Liang Qichao’s imprint.Liang Qichao’s“On the Relationship between Novels and Groups” in the “New Publication” of the “New Novel” became the core concept of the magazine in the early period of the magazine,and also became the novel creation concept of the "new novel" in modern China,which led to the early20 th century.The first climax of the creation of modern Chinese novels.The historical status of the novel has been greatly improved,from “small road” to “avenue”.The nature and function of the novel have undergone important changes.The novel creation has undergone major changes in thoughts,themes,themes,structures,language and narrative techniques.The modern aesthetic characteristics of modern novels began to enter China,affecting the literary texture of Chinese novels,and forcing Chinese literature into Western modernity devices.After completing the external research of New Novel magazine,we entered the internal research of ontology.First of all,through a large number of historical materials to clarify the basic facts of the publication,distribution,stagnation,and suspension of the New Novel magazine,restore the original appearance of New Novel.The fact is clear is the basic requirement of the study of literary historical materials,but there is a lot of controversy in the foundation of New Novel.The magazine was founded in Japan and was founded by Liang Qichao,an exiled Japanese student,and a joint student of foreign students and intellectuals.The magazines and writers are not fixed.The editor-in-chief Liang Qichao will often be absent from the magazine for any reason.Even the printing house will change from time to time.In order to reduce costs and increase circulation,New Novel borrows the channels of discovery of other newspapers and magazines.The final result of simple and cheap behavior is that magazine management is confusing,editorial publishing and distribution are unstable,and there are no internal chronicles and information records in the magazine.It is often necessary to compare and obtain information from indirect data.Based on the existing research results,this paper combines the first-hand information of the New Novel magazine to determine the basic facts and strives to approach historical facts.The advocacy of New Novel in New Novel is mainly reflected in the construction of novel theory,the translation and introduction of foreign new novels,and the creation activities of novels.Therefore,the concept of new publications,novels,translations and mediations Research in literary creation and social intervention is extremely important and can help us observe the role and role played by New Novels in the rise of modern Chinese novels.Through in-depth study of the literary ideas,literary ideas and new literary works promoted by New Novel,we hope to discover its important influence during the transition period of Chinese modern novels,especially in the ideological main theme,subject matter category and narrative of the novel.Important contributions to models,media,and professional writing.In the historical node of social transformation in the late Qing Dynasty,the emergence of New Novel as a unique literary phenomenon has a certain value of literary history,and has a certain guiding and representative role in the development of Chinese modern literature and modern novel journals.New Novel has certain modern multi-dimensional meanings.The background of ideological transformation behind it is not only related to the new cultural movement,but also related to the May Fourth trend of thought.It also has obvious influences in the fields of literature,thought,history and culture.
