Actors are a kind of social group rich in national characteristics under the background of Chinese traditional culture,and they have made important contributions to the development of Chinese culture and art.In modern Chinese literature,there are various types and personalities of actors' images,which have unique literary and cultural values.There are intricate links between literati and excellent actors.In the traditional social hierarchy concept,the excellent actors have low status and no independent personality.They are "objects" for people to enjoy.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China,under the influence of modern ideas,scholar-superiors changed from unequal contacts in traditional society to friendship relations with equal consciousness,and a qualitative change took place.The social enlightenment function of excellent actors was further developed in the Republic of China.Modern Chinese intellectuals hope to arouse national hatred of the people and expose social injustice and dark phenomena with drama.The development and change of the relationship between scholar and actor embodies the different cultural psychology of modern Chinese writers and actors.Whether it is the relationship between scholars and actors in reality or the writing of actors in works,there must be a specific culture of actors behind it.From ancient times to modern times,actors' culture represents different social voices in different times.These changes are closely related to the mainstream values of society.The changes of actors' culture in different times also affect the evolution of excellent writings in literary creation.Moreover,the culture of actors and actresses has a wide influence on Chinese society.It not only affects the professional psychology and identity consciousness of actors and actresses,but also enlightens the cultural standpoint of modern Chinese writers,especially on the artistic image shaping of modern Chinese literature.Modern Chinese writers have discovered the special value of actors,extended them to literary creation,and created many kinds of actors with different personalities.Moreover,compared with traditional actors,the context of Chinese modernity calls for "human literature".Therefore,with the concern of modern writers,the actors' images in the works begin to have independent personality and soul,and convey the Chinese modern writers' examination and evaluation of Chinese traditional culture.Under the social background of the alternation of Chinese and Western cultures,these actors' images have more complex cultural connotations.Traditional ideas and Modern Enlightenment ideas collide with each other.The problems of professional identity and gender identity that perplex actors' groups are also deeply revealed in modern Chinese literature.Generally speaking,subject to various subjective and objective factors such as specific social culture and writers' ideas,Chinese modern writers basically hold two opposite actors' cultural concepts of sympathy and criticism,which are reflected in writers' creation and reflect different subjective identities and cultural psychology.
