With his exceptional literary features and achievements, Pai Hsien-yung was the first Taiwan writer accepted and canonized in mainland China. By observing the “mainland tour” of Pai’s works, it can be found that, literary journals and publishing, literary research and education, literary contest and cross-media adaptation jointly promoted the spreading and canonization process of his works in mainland China. Non-literary factors such as ideology context, business consciousness and mainstream ethics affect its canonization process in different dimensions, degrees, and forms. In addition, Pai’s noble birth, frequent media "exposure" and interaction with audiences and successful promotion of new works also benefit Pai’s well-selling and his status as a Chinese classical writer.
