This paper study the expressionism in the new-vernacular literature of 1920s' and 1930s' ,which is after the May Fourth Movement. The expressionism is a spiritual movement that is originated in the first world war. The western expressionism harmonize well with the new -vernacular literature, which oppose feudal traditional moral, concern people in the real life and purse personality. There are two clear branches of introducing expressionism in the May Fourth Movement and literature revolution, which the east learn from the west, and the west influenced the east. The Chinese expressionism follows these two patterns in later.The new-vernacular literature expressionism is the key point of this paper. First, the new-vernacular literature expressionism was born in the enlightened modern integrated with the aesthetic modern, in which the component parts are same, but the quality is so different. This lead the modern reason integrated with the contemporary unreason in the Chinese literature. Today s expressionism is not the modernism pattern absolutely, it has been developed and comprehended differently.The second, the Chinese authors feel and model the modernism and the modern notion from the personal angle. During describing the spreading and the development of the new-vernacular literature expressionism, we conclude the four characters in self-core expression, which are rejection, enlargement, restoration and self-conscious.The third, the new-vernacular literature expressionism direct learn and absorb the western expressionism art form, and at the same time it has beenaffected more by tradition and real world. During the developing of it's horizon has been broadened and it has more art contents.In this paper I arranged the new-vernacular literature expressionism which have three functions. The first is the self-performance. The second is the symbolic figure combined with the fable. The third is the art-forms of dreaming, deforming, eccentricity that the new-vernacular literature have used formal and fictitious ways to pursue the "cruel" reality.
