Abstract

In the history of Chinese literature, Late Qing literature has important transitional significance because of its special position between tradition and modernity. As a key link in the literary system of the Late Qing Dynasty, "novel" not only achieved unprecedented development at that time and had a profound social impact, but also attrasts many literary researchers today: combining it with modernity, exploring the characteristics of modernity, and giving it important modern significance. This paper will analyze the characteristics of modernity and the meaning of modernity behind the novel text from three dimensions: plot metaphor, name metaphor and gender metaphor.
