# What is Literature? – My View on
Literature
nantai
Literature is the study of culture and civilization.
Literature is the crystallization of
culture, while culture is the foundation of literature; literature is the
brilliance of civilization, and civilization is the fruit of literature.
Literature that encompasses culture and
civilization in full is "complete literature".
Literature can be like "plucking a
flower" – capturing the most beautiful fragment of life, or it can be like
a "complete plant" with the root of culture, the flower of
literature, and the fruit of civilization.
Though the plucked flower is beautiful, it
lacks depth and endurance, so it is only suitable for concise, fast-paced short
and medium-length works. For profound full-length works that reflect the great
achievements of a nation and country, the "complete plant" – with the
root of culture, the flower of literature, and the fruit of civilization – is
far more appropriate.
