Abstract:

For the reconstruction of Chinese left-wing literature, it was an important and hard task to explore the methodology of literary creation. The so-called new realism put forward in the first place was only a mechanistic combination of the realistic writing methods of old realism and the world outlook of the proletariats, while the so-called revolutionary romanticism attached to it was in essence a kind of romantic ultra-leftism. Afterwards, "the creation methods of materialistic dialectics "was advanced, which preliminarily corrected the errors of subjective idealism and began to set right the orientation of realistic literature. In the end the domination of socialist realism in literature promoted developments of the left-wing literature, and meanwhile brought grave aftereffects to new Chinese literature.

Key words: left-wing literature, writing methodology, new realism, revolutionary romanticism, creation method of materialistic dialectics, socialist realism
