Title:: Contemporary Chinese Literature inXinjiang and Its Regional Cultural Perspective

Keywords:: Xinjiang; contemporary Chinese literature; uniqueness; regional culture

Abstract:: Contemporary Chinese literature in Xinjiang is worthy of study in that it is unique in aesthetics. However, it fails to be adequately understood because the studies on it are insufficient and the best perspective on it remains unavailable. An effective approach to this variety of regional literature lies in focusing on its uniqueness and the regional characteristics of the social context where its uniqueness is formed. The relationship between the regional culture of Xinjiang and its contemporary Chinese literature can be investigated in the following five aspects: the match between the works and the regional culture; the influence on the writers exerted by the regional culture; the effect produced by the history and development of the regional culture; the effect of the literature on the regional culture; and the future development of the literature. Through putting the uniqueness and regional position into the whole picture of literature, the approach mentioned above can make the best perspective on the achievements made by the Chinese literature in Xinjiang.
