The collision of tradition and modernity: the narrative transformation of Chinese literature in the new century

Abstract

Chinese literature in the new century has undergone significant changes in narrative, with a fierce collision between traditional storytelling and modern concepts. This study deeply analyzes the reasons for the significant transformation of literature in the new century from three dimensions: narrative perspective, structure, and language, combined with contemporary typical works. Research has found that the fusion of multiple narrative perspectives breaks the limitations of traditional storytelling and endows literary works with more exciting levels; The intricate non-linear narrative structure and fragmented processing are more in line with the fast-paced and complex thinking of modern society; The modernization of traditional language adds brilliance to the expression of literary language. This study provides a new perspective for sorting out the development of Chinese literature in the new century, and plays a role in promoting the development of contemporary Chinese literary theory and creative practice.
