How is the concept rationalized and legalized? What are the main factors that compromise the literary concept dominating modern literature interpretation? This paper also examines literary meetings and the formation of contemporary Chinese literature. Because of the specific social qualities of China and its complicated relationship with literature, the literary meetings have become a way for the government and the party to administer and organize literary culture.
