Abstract

The late Qing Dynasty was a special period in which the introduction of mass media brought advanced scientific knowledge and cultural trends from the West, prompting the establishment of newspapers and magazines by the Chinese people and the activities of the Restorationists in running newspapers and their ideology contributed to the first climax of the Chinese people’s running newspapers. The late Qing condemnation novels, which relied on the press as a means of serial publication, showed different characteristics from those of previous novels under the impetus of modern mass media. Based on the comparative summary of the research results and the detailed reading of specific texts, this paper will analyze the influence of mass media on the emergence, construction and development of late Qing condemnation novels in turn, and put forward its own viewpoints so as to argue that mass media is an indispensable driving force for the progress of condemnation novels.
