[This chapter further clarifies the relationship between Chinese culture and the influence from the introduction of foreign fictions.

The new novelists tended to seek for the driving force of innovation from inside the Chinese literary tradition though the innovation was first activated upon the introduction of foreign fictions, which, is especially seen in the most outstanding features of the new fictions as a whole—realistic, critical and sentimental.]
