Sun Monthly which was founded in 1928,is a microcosm of the movement of intellectuals from ‘Revolution’ to ‘Revolutionary Literature’ in the 1920 s.It gained its place in the literary field by criticizing the holders of symbolic capital and constructing the paradigm of ‘Revolutionary Literature’,and echoed other‘Revolutionary Literature’ journals,formed a powerful ‘Revolutionary Literature’trend in 1928,promoted the development and dissemination of early ‘Revolutionary Literature’.At the same time,among a large number of ‘Revolutionary Literature’ journals,Sun Monthly formed a publication feature that was different from other publications in terms of reader positioning.Its overall appearance is presented as a‘Revolutionary Literature’ publication with exquisite decoration,strived for a wider audience,and had a sense of business strategy,and matched theory with creation.Sun Monthly showed the efforts of members of the Sun Society in both theoretical exploration and creative practice of ‘Revolutionary Literature’.In theoretical exploration,Jiang Guangci’s emphasis on the subjectivity of writers is not only a summary of his own romantic novel creation experience,but also his personalized understanding of reflection theory.In his theoretical article,he indicated a path of identity transformation called ‘revolutionary emotion’ and‘reality’.In addition,he believed that another key to the transformation of writers’ identity lied in the cultivation of materialistic dialectics.This view quickly gained legitimacy from the support of extraterritorial resources in the theory of Tibetan Weiren,which was published in the inaugural issue of Battle Flag in May 1928,The Road to New Realism,and soon appeared in the July issue of Sun Monthly.Extensive response within the ‘Revolutionary Literature’ camp in China had for a time became the creative rule that the entire ‘Revolutionary Literature’ camp adheres to.Qian Xingcun echoed,interpreted,and served the literary theory of Sun Monthly with literary criticism.As a critic,he promoted the construction of‘Revolutionary Literature’,formed a critical feature guided by Marxist literary theory and focused on cultural language.The creative practice of ‘Revolutionary Literature’ in Sun Monthly echoed the theoretical propositions of the journal to a certain extent.The characters in the novel express the same "weakness" of the petty bourgeoisie as in theory,emphasized the importance of acquiring the will of Proletarian.However,in the novel text,the gloomy reality after the failure of the Great Revolution and the requirement of theory to "find the elements for creating a new life" are mixed into contradictions,and the novel text of ‘Revolutionary literature’ is full of contradictions.As a result,the female revolutionaries in the novel exhibit an imaginative color under male gaze,while the male characters need to constantly experience the torture of the heart,but they are still hesitating.In the novel narrative,the revolutionary seriousness is deconstructed,and the revolutionary liberation and oppression have a certain heterogeneous and isomorphic color.Poetry exhibits the characteristics of early‘Revolutionary Literature’ poetry,which forms a slogan style and passionate literary paradigm through the use of images,the use of new words and scenes,and the dual opposing structure within poetry.Due to the particularity of its stylistic forms,the dramas and fairy tales of Sun Monthly extend outward to the general public and downward to children among the reader audience,thus carrying out revolutionary enlightenment in multiple directions,revealing phenomena and problems,such as the rise of the dominant position of the workers and peasants,and the disappearance of the legitimacy of intellectual enlightenment.Through theoretical exploration and creative practice,Sun Monthly promoted the development of early ‘Revolutionary Literature’.Specifically,in response to and competition with other ‘Revolutionary Literature’ publications,the journal has expanded the influence of ‘Revolutionary Literature’ and widened the public opinion space of ‘Revolutionary Literature’.In the theoretical exploration and creative practice of ‘Revolutionary Literature’,the journal constructed the artistic principles of ‘Revolutionary Literature’.In terms of literary consumption,the journal attracted a large number of young students with its rich literary works,especially the popular novels,which not only effectively expanded revolutionary propaganda,but also affected the life choices of young students.
