Dadaism is a bourgeois literary and artistic movement that emerged in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. It was first produced in Switzerland during World War I. During the Autumn Committee of 1915, several literary young people were exiled in Zurich, Switzerland, including the Romanian Tristan. Charla, Frenchman Hans. Arp and two other Germans organized a literary group named "Dada" at the Hotel Voltaire; in 1919, they organized the "Dada" group in Paris, France, thus forming Dadaism school.

Dadaism is derived from the French "dada", which is a word they accidentally found in the dictionary, which means ethereal, confused, and indifferent; the original French meaning is "Trojan horse". It takes the baby's initial pronunciation as its name and represents the baby's purely physiological reaction to the surrounding things during the babbling and learning period. It is claimed that a writer's literary and artistic creation should be like a baby learning to speak, queuing the interference of thoughts and expressing only the impressions felt by the senses. In the drafted "Declaration", Chala once defined "Dada" as follows: "Freedom: Dada, Dada, Dada, this is the howl of unbearable pain, this is all kinds of constraints, The interweaving of contradictions, absurdities and illogical things; this is life. "Someone has further explained: "Dada means nothing can be felt, it is nothing, it is nothingness."

Dadaists adopt a nihilistic attitude towards everything. They often use Pascal's famous saying to express themselves: "I don't even want to know that there were others before me." Chala was looking back at Dada. When speaking about the Darism movement, he said: "The purpose is to try to prove that under various circumstances, poetry is a living force, and words are nothing more than accidental and not at all necessary sustenance of poetry; they are nothing more than a natural thing like poetry." Expression, because we can't find a suitable adjective, we have to call it Dada. "

The Dadaists' principle of action is to destroy everything. They declared that the wound in art should be like a cannonball. After killing a person, the body must be burned and the traces of the soul should be wiped out; human beings should not leave any traces on the earth. They advocate denying everything, destroying everything, and overthrowing everything. Therefore, Dadaism is the specific expression of nihilism in literature. It reflects the depressed psychology and empty mental state of some Western youth during the First World War.

Since the Dada group was founded in Paris in 1919, Paris has become the base of activities of this movement, and the literary magazine "Literature" has become the mouthpiece of the Dadaists. Writers participating in this genre include: Brodon, Aragon, Soupo, Eluard, Picabia, etc. Although Dadaism once attracted people's attention, it was ultimately short-lived due to spiritual emptiness. By 1921, some college students in Paris carried paper figures symbolizing "Dada" and threw them into the Seine River to "drown" them to express their hatred of Dadaism. In 1923, members of the Dada school held their last gathering and declared collapse. Many of its members immediately turned to join the ranks of realist writers.
