Abstract: The literary creation of the school of “Beijing School” may be divided into two periods,the early period and the later period.Shen Congwen,who always upheld the principles of serious literature,viewed that the main scholars of the school in the early period represented by Zhou Zuoren and Fei Ming turned from“active”to “passive” in the late 1920s and early 1930s,i.e. from active pursuit of social culture to passive “individual interest ”pursuit.After 1933,the “Bejing School” merged with the “Shanghai School”.Shen Congwen's articles“Comment on Feng Wenbing”,“Attitude of Literary men”,“On Literary School”,etc.are in fact a kind of criticism on the literary tendency of “individual interest” and commercialism,the sole purpose of which is to defend the dignity of China's new culture.
