This paper researches into"Supplement to Morning News", which it's a successful supplement, by analysing its enlightenment and literature achievements. At first, this paper describes the enlightenment work when three famous editors managed this supplement. The enlightenment was very rational when Dazhao Li worked as the editor of it, the introduction of Marxism and the democratism from Europe was rational too. The principles which the editors should be democratic and open and educate the new writers actively were inherited by Fuyuan Sun very well. The enlightenment work was meticulous and solid when Fuyuan Sun edited the Supplement to Morning News. He knew the effects of Supplements clearly. And this period was the best time in the history of this supplement. When Zhimo Xu was the editor of this supplement, the achievements of enlightenment was opposite to what he wanted because of his strong individualistic personality. This three editors knew the differences between the rational enlightenment and the interest of a supplement very well. It would be contrary to the purpose which they established this new supplement, and would lost the readers just like intellectuals if they lost the rational enlightenment, but if the enlightenment was rational too much the supplement will lose the particularity of a supplement, what's worse, it would lost the mass readers too. The enlightenment literature came into being from the gap between the rational enlightenment and the interest of a supplement. Enlightenment literature directed at the enlightenment, that's to say the new literature fitted itself to the demands of enlightenment and did the enlightenment work in New Culture Movement. In this period, Lu Xun got the brilliant achievements and had a great influence in both aspects of literature and enlightenment, he published lots of cry-out works in the Supplement to Morning News. In the contrary, the literature enlightenment directed at the literature itself, it was the revolution process of the style of writing, the changing process of esthetic sense. It established a new esthetic notion with the vernacular, and got rid of the old concept which writings are for conveying truth and sages expounds his ideas in writing, and made the literature connect to the people's consciousness, and bounded surely what be literature in modern society. It was the really writing, the essays of Lu Xun and Zuoren Zhou and the Dabei Chen's dramas are wonderful works in the aspect of writing. Besides, any struggle wanted to cut the enlightenment and literature clearly will be in vain at the end. All above characters is the second part of this paper. At the third part, it analyses the reasons why the Supplement to Morning News can succeed materialistically. In this material world, all struggles like Supplement to Morning News, such as consist enlightenment, free and multivariant publication pattern, individual editor style, operating methods taken the literature seriously should direct at the enlightenment itself, should be the precious spirit wealth we must cherish.
