As one of the most important Literary Societies in the history of modern literature, Creation Society had unique temperament and personality traits, which was a group of young literary-loving formed spontaneously. Thought it hadn't a fixed constitution and completely uniform literary standard, the way of debut "Sturm und Drang,", the esteem to "genius" and "inspiration", the strong resistance profile, all of which showed that Creation Society had unique literary and life pursuits, showed the boosting and forge ahead of youth, showing the Creation Society personality charm, which is the deputy of "May Fourth" youth culture. First, the member of Creation Society were young people, whose average age were no more than 25; Followed, their temperament and behavior are deeply marked by the stigma of youth; Finally, Most of their work reflected the prevailing ideal and life of young intellectuals, to express the insights and experience of young people.
