In the 1930s, Shen Congwen established his leadership role within the “Beijing School” during the “Beijing-Shanghai Debate” and fully leveraged this social identity to extensively engage in various literary interactions, such as literary salons, dinner gatherings, and poetic exchanges. These activities helped him build a literary network aimed at bridging generational gaps and nurturing new talents. Focused on engaging young literary enthusiasts, Shen Congwen’s literary exchanges were intended to disseminate classical concepts and aesthetic pursuits, ultimately striving to “reconstruct” the literary canon and reshape “New Literature”. These efforts reflected a profound consciousness of “self-classicization”, playing a significant role in solidifying his own status as a literary classic.
