The trend of thought in modern Chinese literature was a series of literary movements that began in the early 20th century, including the New Culture Movement, the Vernacular Movement, the literary revolution, realism, post-realism, cultural inferiority, and so on. The rise and changes of these literary thoughts reflected the changes and progress of Chinese society, politics and culture at that time, as well as the variety and richness of Chinese literary thoughts and artistic development. Among them, the New Culture Movement was the starting point of modern Chinese literature. It advocated against traditional culture and advocated new ideas, new literature and new art. During this period, many people started a new era of modern Chinese literature. After the vernacular movement, the literary revolution became an important school of modern Chinese literature. It emphasized the relationship between literature, society and politics and advocated realism and the literature of the working class. The representative works of the literary revolution included Lu Xun's "Madman's Diary" and "The True Story of Ah Q". As a literary school that rose from the 1920s to the 1940s, realism emphasized the subjective nature of literature and symbolism pursued the transcendence and contradiction of literary form and content. The representative works of the modern world include Kafka's Judgment and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Post-modern literature was a literary school that rose from the 1950s to the 1970s. It emphasized the historical and cultural nature of literature and explored the influence of cultural differences and the impact of global culture on literature. The representative works of post-modernism include Ernest Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises and Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. Chinese cultural inferiority complex was a literary trend that appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It emphasized the backwardness and closeness of Chinese literature and tried to promote the status of Chinese literature by belittling other cultures. The representative works of this literary trend included Mo Yan's Red Soroliang Family and Yu Hua's Alive. The trend of thought in modern Chinese literature is a pluralistic, complex and diverse literary movement. It reflects the development and progress of Chinese society and culture at that time, and also shows the richness and variety of Chinese literary thoughts and arts.
