In recent years, the research on the relationship between Christianity and literature asChinese literature research is a hot term. Christianity as a directly relate the human spirit ofthe religious activities, it has always been a close contact with literature. Christian classic"Bible" is the source of the western literature, and direct impact to the west and even humandevelopment of literature. Christianity is the concern of the inner world and it has always hadgreat enthusiasm on literature. Whether positive or negative, Christianity affected thedevelopment of the western literature, leave Christian western literature is unspeakable. In theearly period of the godfather of Christian literature ancient European literature transformationand the generation of literature to the church and against the church Renaissance andenlightenment literature and modern, postmodern literature, all these literature activities weredeeply hit the mark of Christianity.As Christianity spread to China, the influence of Chinese society, Christian literature alsocorresponding appear.From the literature of the praise poetry of Nestorianism in the Tangdynasty, to late Ming and early Qing dynasty "Tianxue poem", to modern Christianity wasintroduced into China, western culture after the full range of introduction, stimulation of thelate qing dynasty and the republic of China literary revolution and improved. Along with theincrease of the Chinese christians, the people to the need of literature and writing alsogradually rise more. Christians make up singing in the folk of poetry and on the belief of thebrochure, to use the traditional story, drama, clapper talk, etc. Various kinds of folk literatureand art to deduce the Christian faith, In the Christian intellectuals, people in the churchuniversity as the center and make magazine, play drama, make the creation, in the form ofnew literature and art to disseminating the Christian faith, some had entered the new literatureresearch field of vision, such as Bingxin’s prayer poetry, Suxuelin’s novel, etc. After theestablishment of the People’s Republic of China, Christianity as need modification and wipedout "historical sites, Christians in the reconstruction of object, the church university had beeneliminated, and missionaries ouster, but Christian literature had not disappear. By the80s,especially since the new century, the Christian literature both form and result all had great progress. Since the90s, along with the economy soaring, literature was also thecommercialization of tide over which, lose the spirit of the depth and dimension. In thepresent literary creation, we can see there are a completely from the point of view of the faithof writing, such as Beicun’s novel、 Huazi’s prose、Wangyi’s movie criticism. This writing isno longer a Christian thought the borrowing of resources, but completely in the station ofChristian faith in the country of the creation. If the investigation of20century Chineseliterature development history, we will find this from the angle of faith writing though notinto the literature research in the field of mass reading and vision, but in the church, they arealways there. The20th century Chinese literature is always by the state, national, scientific,rational, revolution, improvement, and class dominated, human nature, and so on, even in apure aestheticyou still can find the impact of the anxiety.But in static water as the Christianchurch in literature trickle, have a completely heterogeneous pursuit of spirit, Concern isthe soul, the pursuit of the other side of the world, the writing is the fall of man andredemption, pursue the beauty of the divine. Study Christian literature, both for the pastliterature review, or to present literary writing reflection, all have the meaning of cannot beignored.This paper intends to the period of the republic of Christian literature performance theunique aesthetic character and spirit pursuit discussed. The preface of the context of ChinaChristian literature and Christian literature research are introduced briefly. The text isChristian literature from China involved several topics for further analysis. First is the tensionbetween the traditional appeal and heterogeneous writing. China’s Christian literature relatedto the western Christian culture and Chinese traditional culture of the complex relations.Christian culture in the spread of China, making people feel part of the traditional culture ofChina a challenge, is to deny the Chinese civilization, this can be find from Chineseintellectuals "against Christianity" complex. Christian culture is to believe a good god and toperfect the kingdom, but the Chinese traditional culture is concerned with the this present lifeof happiness. On the surface they are looks like completely opposite, but through to theChinese Christian literature investigation, we can find,"China" and "Christ" in love torealization of inner fusion, beyond a simple regional and national division. The second chapter and third respectively from the Christian literature of the rules and the most ofteninvolving the "sin" and "the body", analysis the Christian literature on heterogeneous factor.Chapter4of Christian literature performance the two dimensions of interpretation. ChinaChristian literature try to construct a divine and poetic each other mutually interpretation ofspace. Christian literature is a way of literature to inquiry the nature of the soul and the sacreddimension. Poetic and divine will become its can the two dimensions of existence. Throughthe literature to express beliefs, through the faith to see literature, this is all religion and beliefis scarce resources of China rare, And this kind of faith and literature interaction, hopes to theroot of the human spirit care, is home to eternal yearning. China’s Christian literature as aunique type literature, with its of the divine and poetic interpretation, for other types ofliterature and people’s spiritual life provides important reference.
