Under the influence of the war environment and political structure at that time, there appeared literature in different political regions, such as literature in Kuomintang-controlled areas, literature in liberated areas, literature in isolated islands and literature in enemy-occupied areas.
Among them, literature in Kuomintang-controlled areas refers to literary creation in Kuomintang-controlled areas. It has gone through three stages, and the creation in different stages has different literary characteristics. First of all, during the period from July 7, 1937 to June, 1938,/kloc-0, a large number of themes centered on propaganda and mobilization to save the country appeared, and the basic tone of literary creation was high-spirited and angry heroism. Second, after the fall of Wuhan, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of stalemate. The literary creation in this period also turned to face up to the cruel war and dark reality, and began to criticize the suffering of reality and explore the historical path of intellectuals. Third, the period from the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation is the third stage, during which a large number of critical and satirical literary works began to appear.
Literature in the Liberated Areas is different from literature in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. It describes the new social system, people, soldiers and cadres in the Liberated Areas with a distinctive and simple style, and explores the nationalization and popularization of literature.
Isolated island literature refers to the works created by writers who stayed in Shanghai Concession after the fall of Shanghai as an "isolated island" to cooperate with the anti-Japanese national salvation movement.
Literature in enemy-occupied areas refers to the creation of writers in enemy-occupied areas under difficult circumstances. Their creation is divided into two parts, one is a realistic work full of local flavor, and the other is a reaffirmation and discovery of people's daily ordinary life.
Throughout the forties, the representative writers were: Zhao Shuli, Zhang Tianyi, Qian Zhongshu, Zhang Ailing, Sun Li, Zhou Libo, Ai Qing, Mu Dan and so on. Among them, the most representative work is Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged.
Qian Zhongshu (191010219981219), formerly known as yang xian, is a wise man with a silent word. Qing Xuantong was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu on1October 20th (191kloc-0/121). He died in Beijing on 1998. He is a famous modern writer and literary researcher in China.
Fortress Besieged, written by him, depicts for us the sentient beings in the forest of Neo-Confucianism in the period when academic fame was intertwined with old knowledge through the wandering migration of the protagonist. It satirizes the morbid mental characteristics of senior intellectuals at that time and discusses the fundamental problems of life.
Fortress Besieged also has its own unique achievements in artistic creation. First of all, taking the two-point double line of the character's whereabouts as the writing clue, the long-span lateral moving structure is adopted; Secondly, a large number of unique irony techniques such as anti-imitation, irony and anti-theory are used.
