Evolution And Reflection Of The Literary Aesthetic Theory Since The New Era

The literary aesthetic is an important literary theory in the process of literary transformation and development of the new era, exerting positive impacts on the creativity and development of Chinese literature since the reform and opening up; at the same time, in this process, the aesthetic theory has been changing constantly, bringing some new issues, various discussions and disputes, which are worth seriously summarizing and reflecting.In this article,the aesthetic theory of literature in the course of development and evolution is roughly divided into three stages:the first one ranges from the 1970s to the end of the early 1980s, mainly elaborating on the transition from the literary theory to the aesthetic theory of literature;the second one concerns the mid and latter1980s, dwelling on the developments of the aesthetic theory, while the third stage refers to the period since the 1990s, when the aesthetic theory of literature began to popularize under the influences of the market economy reform and globalization.The whole paper is divided into four parts,mainly summarizing and redefining the important statements appeared in the three stages of aesthetic theory developments, depicting the literary works and literary criticism as well as sorting out various discussions and disputes. On this basis, we ponder upon some key academic issues along the process of the aesthetic theory evolution, expressing the thoughts of the author.In my opinion,the transition, generalization and popularization of aesthetic theory are closely related to the development of the era, representing the aggressive and innovative spirits of Chinese literary. Though in the process, it encountered a lot of detours, which is inevitable. Moreover, through the rational analysis, the study will help us better understand the development of contemporary literature and literary ontology, promoting their sound development.Through reviewing and rethinking the developments and changes of new times literary theory, we can see it plays an important position in the development of literature in New times, in a large measure influencing the trend of development of the new era literature and literary theory.However, on the other hand, aesthetic theory on its own development has exposed some problems, such as the "pure aesthetic theory"in the late 1980s and the generalization of the aesthetic theory in the 1990s, both of which exerted negative impacts on the developments of literature and aesthetic theory. Therefore, when it comes to the development and changes of the aesthetic theory, renewable analyses and assessments are required.At the same time, confronting the globalization of current literary development, the aesthetic theory of literature is still facing new problems and theoretical challenges, which require us to continue exploring.
