On The "Ethnic Literature" Concept Of The "Warring States" School

The "Strategy of the Warring States" school, also known as the "Warring States" school, a cultural group ,began in 1940 during the anti-Japanese War, active in the rear area of Kunming, Chongqing and other places. It was named after its sponsored magazines of "Warring States Strategy" and "Warring States". Lin Tongji, Lei hai-zong, Chen Quan and others were composed of the main members of the group, with Lin Tongji, Chen Quan responsible for literature and art aspects. As was influenced by the "revolutionary literary and art circles", during the half century,this school received more in political criticism than in academic evaluation. In the , compiled by Hu Jingshu and in 1991, it was defined as:"...politically, they advocate power politics, pursuing fascist dictatorship, while in literature, they were royal to the service of the literature for KMT fascism Thus they altered the literature so much as to the horrible agent and erotic course." However, to be honest and objective, after the thorough reading of the passages about the "Warring States" I have got the impression quite different from what was defined by the above book-review. This article isn't intended to give a detailed description and evaluation to "Warring States" once again. It is trying to discuss critically the literature and art concept of the "Warring States" school, under the influence of the Nationalism hoping to make a more objective and fair evaluation.
