Maodun is a great new literature master with full creative personality. He create a kind of realism tradition that fully reflect the times quality and the society quality with his literary theories and fictioneerings. Because Maodun worked at the literary theories and criticisms in his early ages, he has consciousness in theory in his pursuit of the times quality firstly. Also, he tried his best to practice this literary view in his voluminous fictioneerings. In the process of creation, Maodun often choose great subjects that can reflect the times, and then reflect the themes with the times feature through his fictioneerings. Under the Maodun's pen, the character images, include"the times females",the national capitalists and the peasants, shared a common fate with that times, so they all have distinct features of the specific times. Besides, the times quality of Maodun's novels still exists in his unique artistic expressions. In order to highlight the novel's times quality, we could find Maodun made a great effort in creative methods,structural forms,stylistic characteristics,artistic skills and other aspects after reading his criticisms and works carefully. Of course there are some limitations in Maodun's pursuit of the times quality, but at present literary circles where are losing humanistic spirits, I think the Maodun's creative tradition which emphasizes the times quality and the mission sense are still worth of treasuring and developing.
