Abstract

Zhou Wen was praised by Lu Xun as “the best left-wing writer”. He enriched the subject matter of modern Chinese literature with the remote “Sichuan-Xikang area”. Zhou Wen’s “Tea Bag” reproduces the ancient Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Road and the living conditions of the porters with delicate brushstrokes, and has become a literary classic of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The difference from historical materials is that literary works can be described in detail from a microscopic level and in a concrete and vivid manner, revealing the inner world and spiritual emotions of characters. Zhou Wen inherited Lu Xun’s critical spirit and attention to national issues. However, the sympathy and praise the author showed during this period enriched the emotional connotation of the work. The unique regionality presented in Zhou Wen’s works adds to its folklore value. At the same time, they also artistically and aesthetically reproduce the interdependence of life and death between nations and regions, the integrated relationship of mutual benefit and co-existence, and the historical process of breaking the barriers of communication, communication and integration.
