| | The Romantic Generation of Modern Chinese Writers |
 | | Lin Shu and Su Manshu are late Qing and early Republican precursors of the romantics of the 1920s, Yu Dafu and Xu Zhimo fall squarely into that generation, and Guo Moruo, Jiang Guangci, and Xiao Jun illuminate the transition to revolutionary romanticism. |
 | | Authors published autobiographies, diaries, and collections of letters in abundance, thus incorporating their personal experience into their literary output, but their lives, as well as their publications, were art, embodying and projecting images of their personal philosophies. |
 | | Su Manshu was the first and perhaps the most extreme practitioner of this art form, shifting through the guises of Westernized student, beggar monk, journalist, gourmand at a speed no one could keep up with. |
