The Research Of Meiji “New Magazine” Denomination

In the early Meiji period,Western learning spread to Japan.With the influx of Western civilization,Chinese literature has not only been greatly impacted,but also changed its dominant position in Japanese upper class society and literature.Under the influence of the radical trend of thought of blindly pursuing westernization,Sinology even became the spokesperson of decadent and backward,and once fell into the dilemma of recession.It was not until about 20 years after Meiji that people began to reflect on the excessive absorption of Western civilization that Sinology was reexamined and revived again,and gradually began the prosperity period of Chinese literature creation in Meiji period.With the improvement of people’s literacy and the development of social economy,a number of newspapers and magazines specializing in Chinese works have emerged.In these magazines,some of them are named "Xinzhi",and many of their individual works are named after it.Since these works are more or less based on the theme of "Xinzhi",they are classified as "Xinzhi Denomination ".The original intention of these journals is to revitalize Sinology,restore the tradition of Sinology,and call on the general public to get in touch with Sinology.With the continuous creation of these Chinese writers,more and more Chinese works have been published relying on "Xinzhi" magazine,and a group of writers have naturally formed.There is a strong sense of hardship and criticism in the works of "Xinzhi school".In the face of the great changes in Japan after the reform,they choose to express their different feelings in words.From the perspective of literary records,these "Xinzhi" magazines faithfully recorded the changes of people’s life under the impact of the new trend of thought in the Meiji period,and described what they saw and heard with the brush strokes of traditional Chinese writers,which greatly complemented the perspective of future generations in reviewing history;from the perspective of literary community,among these writers,Hatori Busyou,Narusima Ryuuhoku and Miki Aika were the main ones As a representative,other writers have more or less made friends with them,forming three groups of novel writers centered on Hatori Busyou ’s <new records of Tokyo>,Narusima Ryuuhoku ’s <new records of the moon and flowers>,and Miki Aika’s <new records of my wife>.The types of novel creation of "Xinzhi school" can be roughly divided into "Fanchang" note novels and "gifted scholars and beautiful ladies novels".Although they have different genres,they both aim to show the author’s personal thoughts on the great social changes during the Meiji period.All kinds of works of "Xinzhi school" not only have far-reaching influence in Japan,but also have great influence on China."Fanchang" series works have been continuously imitated for a hundred years.The novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies by Miki Aika indirectly inspired the creation of political novels represented by "the adventures of beautiful ladies" by Tokai Sanshi,and opened the door of modern Japanese literature history.All kinds of works of "Xinzhi Denomination" were also introduced into China.Since then,the genre of "Fanchang" has also entered the creative vision of Chinese scholars.Ge Yuanxu of Qing Dynasty wrote three volumes of "Shanghai Fanchang",which was published in Japan in 1878,completing the circulation of "Fanchang" genre between China and Japan.In addition to "Introduction" and "conclusion",this paper is divided into three chapters.The first chapter introduces in detail the establishment of "Xinzhi" magazine and the formation of "Xinzhi" novel writers group in Meiji period;the second chapter investigates the two types of creation of "Xinzhi" novels;the third chapter summarizes the artistic achievements of "Xinzhi" writers’ works and their influence on creation at home and abroad.Based on the relevant research of Chinese and Japanese scholars,this paper attempts to investigate and analyze the Chinese novel works of "Xinzhi Denomination " in detail from the study of "Xinzhi" Journal and writer group in Meiji period of Japan,and to analyze and demonstrate the inheritance and acceptance between "Xinzhi Denomination " and ancient Chinese Novels.
