Evaluation of the Chinese Literature Consciousness Theory in 20^th Century

Hongdumen Academy and the policies of Caos changed the culture pattern at that time in two ways: First, the culture structure in which Jing was prior to literature had been changed, and literature was regarded as high as Jing. Second, the Literati Group had been recombined, and the literatis could edge into the upper class which had been monopolized by the Jing scholars before. The consciousness of literature oppeared based on those above. To make this discourse clear, we must investigate the regroup of the literatis which led to the change of literature, and reveal the special social reforms which caused the recombination of the Literati Group. The development of some literature elements, such as sensation enhancement, the abundance of literature patterns, the confirmation of literature values and the progress of literature theories, etc. was just the exterior characters shown in the discourse of literature consciousness, and the results of a particular stage.
