Abstract

Abstract

The period from 1919 to 1949 had witnessed a rapid development of Chinese literature, during which scholars who consciously engaged in comparative literary studies emerged one after another. Their works developed in both breadth and depth in comparison with previous studies, and comparative literature truly emerged as a discipline in China. The thirty years from the May Fourth Movement in 1919 to right before the founding of New China can literally account for the initial rise of Chinese comparative literature. The early stage of Chinese comparative literature was based on spontaneous literary comparisons and sporadic theoretical reflections. With the expansion of the scope of literary exchanges between China and foreign countries, as well as the development of creative and academic awareness, the critical and theoretical thinking involved in conducting studies in comparative literature has been greatly enhanced.Moreover, curriculum in comparative literature has also been established and developed in higher education. Comparative literature as a critical approach has been consciously applied in literary research, and researchers in comparative literature have formed a certain scale of academic communities. The research vision and research methods in comparative literature have influenced the way in which Chinese literature destroys the old and establishes the new. The debate over the poetic paradigms for comparative literature in its early booming phase has had a profound impact on the history of comparative literature in China, and has become the starting point for the construction of the theoretical system of comparative literature as a discipline today.
