The Modern Urban Ethics Constructed in the Left-wing Urban Novels

摘要

Left-wing urban novels emerged in the late 1920s in Shanghai, which presented the new modern urban ethics, including the proletarian political ethics, the critical-based life ethics and the body ethic of the spiritualism. The ethical form not only reflects the real political environment, but also contains the individual living experience of the writers and the transfer of traditional ethics. At the same time, it also effects the "May 4th" Enlightenment ethics and consumption ethics. The Left-wing city ethics remedied the shortcomings of the modem Chinese city ethics centered on the consumption ethics, which has an influence on the subsequent urban literary writing and has an important value in contemporary urban construction simultaneously.
