"harvest" And The Chinese Modern Literature

"Harvest" published many works that held important status in the new time of literature, simultaneously initiated or participated in some important literature activities, so it is called as "the Abbreviation of Chinese Contemporary Literature". So "Harvest" can be said as the reflection of culture background in a time of China. We may spy into the trace of time change. As a result of historical reason, "Harvest" has three stages. As a whole, these three stages of "Harvest" record all literature styles in each time, so it becomes "the Recorder of Chinese Contemporary Literature".During the development process of publications in the 80's, "Harvest" had the indissoluble relationship with the avant-courier literature. It vigorously recommended new litterateurs, dared to publish the works with dispute, and became the base place of the avant-courier literature. This kind of editorial strategy gave "Harvest" infinite vigor in the 80's, and made it walk in front of the other similar literature periodicals and rapidly seize the one-up position of literature periodicals. Although "Harvest" has no intention to impel a tide of literature, it actually forms an indispensable tide of literature in the contemporary literature and becomes an indispensable topic when recollecting the 80's literatures.Since the 90's, the plan economy is turning to market economy and all aspects of our social life change greatly. The literature publications supported by the nation during the time of plan economy face challenges of market economy. "Harvest", which is in the front of literature publications, copes with shifting events by sticking to a fundamental principle or policy. It maintains the traditional column, vigorously promotes the quality of works. So that, it makes times of literature climax, witnesses and writes the literature history of the change of thoughts.Reviewing the "Harvest" from its establishment to now, we can find the consanguineous relationship between "Harvest" and the Chinese contemporary literature thoughts. It witnesses the appearance and development of Chinese contemporary literature and the complex relationship between literature and politics as well as literature and market. In the environment of market economy, it will play an important role for us to discuss the trend of literature periodicals, promote the literature taste of publications and construct humanities landscape of the contemporary society.
