From the Jingshi College Hall of the late Qing Dynasty to the Peking University,the cradle of the Wu Si New Culture Movement,Beijing possessed of the highest institution at that time,so a large number of outstanding scholars got together to Beijing.Beijing turned into the Cultural Center under the inburst of the foreign culture thoughts and the impulse of the modern transmit medium.But in the twenty era,the defilement of Beijing political environment was caused by warlordism.A group of progressive writers suffered harsh persecution,and a large number of literary journals were closed down.At that time, the progressive periodicals Yu Si didn't escape the fate,sealed by Feng warlord. Subsequently,the members of Yu Si School disassembled into two camps,which respectively were represented by Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren.In order to searching for asylum of political and economic,a large number of literati floundered into the international metropolis of Shanghai.This migrate was not only the south movement of the cultural,but also led to the historical transfer of Chinese modern thoughts and cultures.With the outbreak of revolutionary literature debates,in 1928,Chinese literary world enter into the history-called "thirty years' literature",which is a bloody era of the literature.In 1930,the founded of "Zuolian" was the symbol of the literary left.After the filter of history,the combination of the foreign culture thoughts,inpouring into China during the period of Wu Si,and Chinese literature practice movement,formed the opposite complexion of Marxism artistic thoughts and democracy,liberalism artistic thoughts.In the new background of era and cultural,the liberalistic intellectuals,staying in Beijing such as Zhou Zuoren,established The Grass Grown In Desert Weekly,with the confrontation of left and right literati.The Grass Grown in Desert Weekly kept away from political and business quality of the literary world,emphasized the purely literary and artistic creation,based on the performance of the individual temperament,insisted on elitism culture position,independent artistic beauty and intangible utilitarian,all of which reflected the liberalistic literary conception of the members of the Grass Grown in Desert Weekly.Under the transformation of era environment,the members of the Grass Grown in Desert Weekly, whose spiritual chief was Zhou Zuoren,kept away from the horrible disaster of real war, abandoned the attack spirit of Yu Si,withdrew from the mainstream of era to study,lived a recluse life,engaged in inditing interest essay and lyric fiction,which expressed the individual spirit,as well as the translation of foreign culture.During this period,Zhou Zuoren's essays tended towards maturate from the style to aesthetic realm,and strived, together with Yu Pingbo,for the orthodoxy status of literary essay.Feiming's lyrical novel reached the uppermost peak,which couldn't be exceeded by himself.The Grass Grown in Desert Weekly was a liberalism magazine where liberalistic authors could express their views freely.In fact,their interesting chats about the pattern of vegetation and fish-like implicated their "self-performance of individual spirit" literary conception. As the only comprehensive literary journal of Beijing in 1930,the Grass Grown in Desert Weekly had a role of inheriting the former and open out the later value in the history of modern Chinese literature.In the development of Chinese liberalistic literature,the Grass Grown in Desert Weekly was the climacteric of Chinese liberalistic literature from ambiguous status to full independence.Such as the south movement of Cultural Center,the left turn of the literary world,the business quality of Shanghai literary world,the blending of East and West culture,in the course of these,the members of the Grass Grown in Desert Weekly looked for the basic point of innovation from the mainland culture self-consciously,insisted on the belles-lettres of Wu Si and proposed the ontological literature,which provided an another way for the thirty age literary and modern literary world.
