In April 1941,to attend the conference of the East Asian Cultural Council in Japan,the Beijing members with ZhouZuoren at the core embarked on a two-week journey.Under the surveillance of the power eye of the Japanese military and media,Zhou Zuoren conducted a highly ambiguous performance in public through careful political calculations.At the gatherings hosted by Japanese writers,both the atmosphere of the scene and the manuscripts left behind,highlighted the shared interests of Chinese and Japanese literati under the influence of traditional Chinese culture.However,in terms of the significance of literary exchange,compared to Zhou Zuoren's journey to Japan in 1934,this interaction between Chinese and Japanese literati presented a regression in the historical significance of literature exchange.The 1941 journey to Japan focused on revealing the complex mentality of Zhou Zuoren,the"literati supervisor"who had just reached the pinnacle of power,in a complex situation.
