Abstract

[This chapter focuses on the stylistics of fictions. In the twentieth century, the stylistics of fictions became an issue of general concern for Chinese writers and literary theoreticians. The criticism of the theoreticians of the late Qing Dynasty on fictions concerned more about the relationship between the style and the reality or that between the style and political consciousness rather than about the relationship between the style and its aesthetic value, cultural value, and ways of thinking. But one thing shall be acknowledged, their stylistic studies of fictions were centered on the contention between classical Chinese fictions and vernacular Chinese fictions, which have much accelerated the establishment of modern stylistics of Chinese fictions and have laid a foundation for the writers and theoreticians of the later generations.]
