The literature of the Qing Dynasty was unusually rich compared to previous generations, and it can even be described as mixed. On the one hand, it is the emerging ** and opera since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, which are still flourishing after falling in love, and on the other hand, the poems and ancient texts that have been weak since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and even the words and prose that have declined and succumbed to the foil position, have been revitalized after the Qing Dynasty. Most of the literary styles that have been prevalent and glorious in previous generations have a place in the literary circle of the Qing Dynasty.

Most genres have a large number of authors and have written more works than any previous generation, including the era in which they were prevalent. The types of various literary styles, the practices, and the styles that have appeared, most of the authors of the Qing Dynasty have inherited them, some people learn to imitate, and some people have innovated in their own way, and quite a number of authors have reached a high level of attainment, and have written many excellent and even treasures and masterpieces, such as Wu Weiye's poetry and Wang Shizhen's Shen Yun poems, Chen Weisong's nostalgic words and Nalan Xingde's mourning words, Hong's "Palace of Eternal Life" and Kong Shangren's "Peach Blossom Fan" two operas, Wang Zhong's "Mourning Salt Boat Text" , there are Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and the vernacular Zhanghui** has Wu Jingzi's "Confucianism" and Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions".

Take literature as an example, the Zhou and Qin dynasties are called by their sons, the Chu people are called by Sao, the Han people are called by Fu, the Wei and Jin dynasties are called by pun Wen, the Tang people are called by poetry, the Song people are called by words, the Yuan people are called by songs, and the Ming people are called by **, opera or art, as for the literature of the Qing Dynasty, in the middle of the above-mentioned kinds, or in addition to the above-mentioned items, there is no special literature that is enough to be called the Qing Dynasty, but there is no literature that does not become the Qing Dynasty. As far as Qing Dynasty literature is concerned, it is also all-encompassing and has the characteristics of previous generations.
