In the late Qing Dynasty, many excellent literary works appeared in China, including classic novels such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, and Water Margins.

The development of modern Chinese literature was also influenced by the literature of the late Qing Dynasty. Many important thoughts and schools of thought in modern Chinese literature, such as the New Culture Movement, literary realism, and new novels, were influenced by the literature of the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, some outstanding works in the late Qing literature, such as Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Lao She, etc., also left a deep mark in modern Chinese literature. There was still a relationship of mutual reference and absorption between modern Chinese literature and the literature of the late Qing Dynasty.
