Abstract:

Local literature is an important part of modern Chinese literature,Shen Congwen’s local novels being typical of it.Though Shen experienced ups and downs in literary creation due to ideology,his works are highly recognized and widely spread in the Western countries,arousing domestic re-interpretation.To gain world-wide acceptance,Chinese local literature should keep its national confidence and maintain tolerance and rationality,trying to manifest its national character and global significance.Though restricted by its innate limitations in oversea dissemination,Chinese local literature should attach adequate importance to its national character,which is not only the objective aesthetic needs,but is also benefit to the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture.With the deepening of cultural exchange and the diversification of the ways of dissemination,national difference may well manifest the value of local literature.

Key words: SHEN Congwen, local literature, national character, national literature
