creative path during his life has been adhering to different views on the nature of literature and art in different periods,the only constant is that he regards literature as a human science and always adheres to the creative concept of "people" as the center,paying attention to People and their spiritual world,their works and thoughts are full of care for "human",the search for "human"

aspects: creative subject,creative process,and creative characteristics.He not only requires the creative subject to have a thought,a humble and independent attitude,and a high aesthetic ability,but

for contemporary writers and their literary creation and literary criticism.However,due to Chen Yingzhen's little research on literary theory,his literary aesthetics are slightly thin,innovative and inadequate,and because of the specific political and cultural era context,although Chen Yingzhen's “literary tools theory” At that time,he played an important and positive role in conveying his
