(1) 192 1 the literary research society founded by the school of "writing poems for life" was the most powerful and influential literary society in the 1920s. Its main members, Zhu Ziqing, Ye, Yu Pingbo and others, immediately established the first new poetry society in modern literary world-China New Poetry Society, which was established in Shanghai the following year. Poets of literary research society are often called "life school" or "life school" because of their poetic values centered on "life". Main representative works: Trace of Poetry (Zhu Ziqing), Singer, Eternal Truth (Xu Yunuo) and Spring Water and Stars (Bing Xin).

(2) In the early period of new literature, Mao Dun was an advocate of "Life School" literature. It was his basic core to ask literature to express life and guide life, which was meaningful to life and also the basic point for the development and change of his later literary thoughts. Even when he reflected and reviewed the May 4th Movement, he could not completely change himself and his original intention. On the one hand, it advocates that novels should have political utility and shoulder the heavy responsibility of arousing the people; On the other hand, it advocates that novels should truly describe life and opposes writing novels as propaganda outlines. It is also at this point that he shows the difference from formulaic and conceptual "revolutionary literature". Therefore, Mao Dun's literary thought is full of "contradictions". On the one hand, he advocates that novels must have a distinct political tendency, on the other hand, he advocates truly describing people's emotional world.

(3) "Life School" problem novels: The main content is to discuss social and life problems, also known as the May 4th problem novels. The Literature Research Association was founded in 192 1 and put forward the slogan "for life". Representative figures: 192 1 Bing Xin's novels When You Are Lonely, Helpless and Poor, Superman and Going to the Countryside turned to the depression of young people, trying to solve this problem. After the May 4th Movement, a generation of young people began to wake up, but in the face of a problem society like Ma, they fell into the sorrow of nowhere to go, resulting in inner anguish and anxiety, and Bing Xin prescribed a prescription-the philosophy of love. He Bin, the hero of Superman, once thought that "love and pity are evil", so he wanted to be a Superman. After helping a poor child, the seeds of love and sympathy began to sprout in his heart.
