Introduction · · · · · ·
"Selected Works of New Youth" is a collection of articles from New Youth compiled by Professor Chen Pingyuan. The characteristics of this book are: First, it overlaps the perspective of intellectual history with the significance of literary history, establishing new standards for reading and interpretation; Second, it firmly believes that articles on "political discussions" and "academic discussions" can also be good "literary" articles; Third, as a jointly participated undertaking, the overall image of the New Youth members must be fully presented; Fourth, it is classified by genre for the convenience of readers to appreciate, and it also contains clues to "history" and the editor's value judgments; Fifth, it tries its best to respect the choices of that generation and not make unnecessary changes, especially in the use of punctuation and individual vocabulary, and opposes arbitrary additions and changes based on today's standards.
