Russian "Non-War Literature" And The Shaping Of The Early New Literature

Anti-violence is a literary motif that continues to attract worldwide attention.The "non-war literature" tradition pioneered by Tolstoy,a pioneer of modern Russian humanitarian theory,is an outstanding representative of the opposition to violent and inhumane acts,including war,autocratic rule and aristocratic privilege,and has had a deafening impact on the morbid spirit of ignorance and chaos in modern China."The new literary scholars of the May Fourth Movement found that Russian "non-war literature"had already begun to emerge since the Middle Ages,with its origins in tribal heroes and their struggles as the main subject,which truly reflected the dark reality of Russia and initially laid the foundation for the"non-war" tradition.The "non-war literature" had its beginnings in the Middle Ages with the tribal heroes and their struggles,which truly reflected the dark reality of Russia and initially established the position of"non-war" works in Russian literature,thus creating a tradition of "non-war literature" against violence.Tolstoy,as the master of the "non-war literature",developed his concept of "non-war" in the beliefs of modern Russian humanitarian thinkers.Based on social violence,writers persistently turned their works into sharp blades and stabbed at the lifeline of inhumane rule.The new literary scholars,in the midst of the boom in translating and interpreting foreign literature,were keenly aware that the special conditions of Russia were extremely similar to the current situation of China,which was in dire need of improvement,and that the cultural background of "non-war literature" was extremely compatible with the blueprint for the development of new Chinese literature.The cultural background of "non-war literature" is extremely compatible with the development blueprint of the new Chinese literature,which then generates a systematic view of "non-war" literature,expressing the sincere humanitarian concern from the "similar humanitarian" view of non-war,reflecting the reflection of the humanitarian "non-war" view of war;thus exploring the "non-war literature" of social transformation.The literature of "non-war" thus explores the meaning of social transformation,denounces the cruel nature of "inhuman" society,and exposes the ever-present oppression;thus clarifies the core of the literary view of "non-war",namely,the "philosophy of love The new literary scholars focused on the " philosophy of love ",and strongly advocated the ideal " earth " centered on " love ",and fervently hoped to rebuild the world with the " great power of love ".Based on this,the new literary scholars focused on and produced a great deal of" non-war literature ",in which writers broke through their privileged prejudices and discovered that the group of " soldiers ",which was seen as a symbol of barbarism and violence,also had a vivid " human " spirit." By focusing on their inner world through delicate brushstrokes,the writers were able to dissolve the spiritual and emotional barriers between human beings.At the same time,the violent society with frequent wars also makes people’s bodies and minds occupied by bestial instincts and lead an "inhuman" life.The new literary scholars deeply criticized the "inhuman" soul and life,tried to liberate the "inhuman" from the shackles of slavery,and tried to discover the value of "human",and in the process,they were surprised to find The key to awakening the potential humanity of the fallen is "love",and the "literature of love" is an effective way to transform the "earth".Thus,"non-war literature" has become an important historical value as a tool for promoting universal human solidarity,conquering violence,and creating an ideal "earth".
