Self-aesthetic Direction in Yu Dafu's Proses

Abstract

Some believe that "in terms of Yu Dafu's creations, his novels manifest themselves, poetries precise and well-knit, but the most thorough representations of his brilliance in emotional expressions are embodied in his pure, lofty and natural proses". [1] In reality, whether it is aesthetic sentiment, creative theme or artistic form, Yu Dafu's proses have formed their own unique creative style. Under the guidance of the May Fourth Movement cultural backdrop, the general character of his aesthetic form is: individualistic self-aesthetic direction.
