"Articles in the Form of Novels":The Zhou Brothers and the Genre Modeling of Modern Chinese"Short Stories"
From A Collection of Foreign Stories in the late Qing Dynasty to The Droplet and Outcry in the May 4th period,Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren focused on highlighting the genre consciousness of modern short stories in their respective writing and translation practices,thus forming a potential conceptual framework with its core being the unity of"poetization"and"literariness".This kind of intergenre infiltration has created a typical artistic style,which can express the inner emotional consciousness and meanwhile embody an external spirit of"realism"."The article in the form of a novel"not only draws inspiration from modern Western literary concepts,but also inherits traditional Chinese historical resources,for it does,instead of adhering to inherent writing rules,focus on obtain-ing its own connection with social existence,which is inseparable from the Zhou brothers'mode of thinking of solv-ing social problems through literature.The process by which Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren molded and introduced the"short story"genre into modern Chinese literature reflects their corresponding relationship in terms of reading and writing,which is in essence a product of modern writers jointly expressing the idea of"cultivating people"under the influence of new literary cognitive devices,with the ultimate goal of achieving an artistic presentation of life.
