Chinese literature had indeed flourished in the 1980s, when a large number of literary works, including novels, essays, poems, etc., emerged. However, in recent years, Chinese literature has not been as prosperous as it was in the 1980s. There are several possible reasons for this: With the development of society, people's consumption concept and aesthetic concept have changed. Literature is no longer the mainstream culture of people's consumption. Although Chinese literature has a long history and profound cultural heritage, with the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the attraction of literature gradually declined. The creation of Chinese literature is facing new challenges and difficulties. With the change of society and the development of science and technology, the creation of literature is facing unprecedented challenges. Chinese literature needed constant innovation and exploration to meet the needs and expectations of readers. 3. The market and commerce of Chinese literature were not successful enough. In the 1980s, Chinese literature could gain more economic benefits and social status through the market and commerce. However, in recent years, Chinese literature has not achieved the same success, which may be related to the lack of success in the market and commerce of Chinese literature. Chinese literature has not flourished as much as it did in the 1980s in recent years, which may be related to many factors. However, Chinese literature has a long history and profound cultural heritage. I believe that in the future development of Chinese literature will certainly achieve more brilliant achievements.
