作为学科的中国现代文学于20世纪20年代初现端倪，50年代正式形成，并在20世纪后期得到了长足的发展。数代学者对中国现代文学这门年轻学科的发展作出了重要贡献，他们各自在文学史研究、作家作品研究、文体研究和社团、流派、思潮、创作群体研究方面取得了重要成就。 As a discipline, modern Chinese literature emerged in the early 1920s, formally formed in the 1950s, and developed rapidly in the late 20th century. Several generations of scholars have made important contributions to the development of this young discipline of modern Chinese literature. Each of them has made important achievements in the study of literary history, the study of writers’ work, the study of style and style, the study of associations, schools, ideological trends and creative groups.
