Zhou Libo is mainly engaged in literary criticism and translation in Shanghai. The reportage Impression of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region published in 1938 is his earliest literary creation. In July, 1938, Luo Zhiyang published a commentary in National Weekly, pointing out that Zhou Libo's impression of reportage in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region was "China with fighting and freedom". Since then, people from all walks of life have begun to study and comment on Zhou Libo's works, which has been 7 1 year. The research and comments on Zhou Libo's works can be roughly divided into four stages:

The 1950s and 1960s were the pioneering stages of Zhou Libo's literary research.

1948 "The Storm" was published, and the evaluation was very high. The representative commented on the recommended storm written under the signature "Zhi" and published in Life Daily on May 1948+0 1. Critics at that time believed that Storm had three characteristics: first, it created a new image of a folk hero and a new figure representing the hope of the times; The second is to explore the writing of major revolutionary themes; Third, use new folk languages. 1955 After the publication of Hot Metal Running, Guangming Daily, Wenyi Bao and other newspapers published many comments, fully affirming this earliest work depicting the image of industrial workers after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the publication of Great Changes in Rural Areas 1958, the older generation of critics Mao Dun, Huang, Wang Xiyan, Chen Yong, Zhu Zhai and others made relevant comments. From 1958 to 196 1, People's Daily, People's Literature, Wen Yi Newspaper, Literature Review and other newspapers and periodicals published more than 40 commentary articles, and made a pioneering study on Zhou Libo. Mao Dun, a famous writer who was then Minister of Culture and Chairman of Chinese Writers Association, pointed out in his article Rethinking and Promoting the Leap of the Socialist Era: "From Storm to Great Changes in Mountainous Areas, Zhou Libo's creation developed along two interlaced routes, one is national form and the other is personal style". The general characteristics of this stage of research are as follows: first, many comments affirmed the political and social significance of Zhou Libo's three novels and other short stories based on politics; Secondly, it makes a real and objective aesthetic evaluation of Zhou Libo's creation, and affirms its artistic characteristics and value.

The second stage, from 1978 to 1979, is the revival stage of Zhou Libo's literary research.

From 1966 to 1976, Zhou Libo's works were completely denied, and he was accused and severely criticized. 197 1 year, Hunan people's publishing house published the third episode of criticizing the great revolution-criticizing Zhou Libo's reactionary novels, and received 17 critical articles, of which 13 were published in Hunan Daily. In addition, there are some commentary articles, such as "The Rough Waves of the Sea and the Devil's Face —— Comment on Zhou Libo's Mountain Changes", and Hangzhou University's 20th issue "From sholokhov's Specimen to Zhou Libo's Ace", published by Hunan Normal University, 1968. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Zhou Libo's works began to be re-affirmed, and his literary research was also in the recovery stage. The history of contemporary literature in China (written by Lin, Haifeng and Cheng Hai), published by the seven East Asian publishing centers in Paris, was the first to affirm the artistry of the works, and its postcode is 1978. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, China's first article to rehabilitate Zhou Libo's works was Qin Mu's Strange Disaster of Shaoshan Festival published in Xiangjiang Literature and ArtNo. 1978+0. Famous literary critics such as Hong Mi, Peng Shunwen, Fan,, and so on publicly commented on Zhou Libo's literary works in influential publications in China.

The third stage, from 1980 to 1990, is a stage of comprehensive and systematic evaluation of Zhou Libo's literary research.

1980 Feng Jiannan published "The New Victory of Realism-Zhou Libo's Creation after the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in the No.1 1 issue of Literary Review, and Hu Guangfan published "A Monument to Lingyun-On the Artistic Achievement of One Night in Xiangjiang River" in the No.2 issue of Journal of Xiangtan University. On June 5th and February 6th, Jiang Jing published "A Preliminary Study of a Literary School —— On Zhou Libo's Artistic Style", with a total of 18. 1000060606. These articles initially defended the revolutionary content of Zhou Libo's works, and then turned to comments on their artistry. It can be said that since 1980, Zhou Libo's creative research has entered the stage of comprehensive evaluation from the nature of rehabilitation.

198 1 year, Lin Lan published the long article "Warrior and Writer" in People's LiteratureNo.10/year, objectively, comprehensively and fairly evaluated Zhou Libo's revolutionary life and creative achievements, systematically summarized Zhou Libo's creative path and experience, and put forward that "Zhou Libo is first and foremost.

1982 and 1983, Lin Lan edited and published two works of Zhou Libo. One is the five-volume Selected Works of Zhou Libo published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, and the other is the seven-volume Selected Works of Zhou Libo published by Hunan People's Publishing House. The publication of these two books has brought Zhou Libo's research into a new stage. During this period, a number of scholars who studied Zhou Libo emerged, such as, Zhuang, Hu Guangfan, Li Huasheng, Feng Jiannan, Song Suiliang, and Hua Jishi. 1982, with the assistance of Peking University's Lee Myung-bak and others, Lin Lan compiled Selected Readings of Zhou Libo's Masterpieces in Yan 'an, Lu Yi (1940 to 1942). The Study of Foreign Literature has been serialized for three periods since the second issue 1982. Xu Chi, a famous writer, wrote Thoughts on Reading Zhou Libo's Legacy, and highly praised Zhou Libo's Lectures on Lu Yi as "an extremely important document in the study of modern literature theory in China".

1985, Guangming Daily Publishing House published Zhuang's Life and Creation. 1986, 12 The Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Provincial Department of Culture jointly held the "Zhou Libo Academic Seminar". More than 100 scholars, experts and writers from all over the country discussed Zhou Libo's literary thought, artistic style, creative achievements and his contribution to modern and contemporary literature in China around the central topic of "the relationship between writers and the times, writers and the people". The conference papers were compiled into "Warrior Writers and Scholars-Selected Papers of the First Zhou Libo Academic Seminar". In the same year, Hu Guangfan wrote The Biography of Zhou Libo, which was published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House. The publication of the above comments, research articles, related books and seminars marks the peak of Zhou Libo's literary research.

In the fourth stage, after 1995, Zhou Libo's literary research entered a deepening stage.

Since the mid-1990s, Zhou Libo's research has broadened his horizons and entered a deepening stage. At this stage, the artistic value and overall position of Zhou Libo's works in the history of literature were explored and judged, and new fields, new methods and diversified interpretations appeared. 1995 published two important works on Zhou Libo's research. First of all, Effie's School of Contemporary Literature in China systematically discusses the aesthetic form and artistic style of Zhou Libo's hometown life novels, as well as the genes and conditions for the formation of the school of Chazi dialect; Secondly, Tan's epic of land and farmers fully affirmed Zhou Libo's description of the relationship between farmers and land and his praise of freedom and love.

The History of China Reportage Theory Criticism published by Anhui University (1997) holds that Zhou Libo's Talking about Reportage marks the independent exploration of China's reportage research from translation to introduction. Jiang Yi of Changsha University published "Realism Is Still the Mainstream of Literature —— Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of Comrade Zhou Libo's Death" and "Zhou Libo's Comparative View on Zhao Shuli", and made a detailed analysis of the artistic features of Zhou Libo's rural novels after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition, Hua Jishi of Xiangtan University, Li Yuejin of Hunan University and Pi Minhui of Central South University also discussed Zhou Libo's contributions and achievements in cultural exchanges and literary translation between China and foreign countries. Tang Xiaobing's article "Dialectics of Violence: Rereading The Storm" was published in the 6th issue of 2 1 Century 1992.

In August, 2006, the Chinese New Literature Society, the College of Literature of Hunan Normal University, the Chinese Department of hunan city university and Yiyang Three-week Research Association jointly held an academic seminar on Zhou Libo's literary creation and contemporary China local novels. The book Forever Zhou Libo's Hometown was published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Press. This meeting pushed Zhou Libo's research to a new stage. First of all, Zhou Libo's hometown life novels are studied in the development of China local literature, which broadens the research horizon and introduces Zhou Libo's creative research into a new field; Secondly, studying the aesthetic tendency of Zhou Libo's novel creation is an important achievement of this seminar; Thirdly, studying Zhou Libo's literary tradition is an important topic of this seminar. Unlike Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Sha Ting and other writers, Zhou Libo's writing after the founding of the People's Republic of China has not stopped, but has become a new peak in his life. His artistic style has influenced several generations of writers in Hunan and even southern provinces, and formed the "Camellia" literary school.

In 2007, Ding Fan's History of Rural Novels in China made a new evaluation of Zhou Libo's novels: "The novel with the most genre painting and landscape painting characteristics after the founding of the People's Republic of China is Great Changes in the Countryside. At the end of 1990s and the beginning of this century, academic circles once again realized the artistic value of Zhou Libo's novels. He of Nanjing Normal University thinks that Great Changes in the Countryside has higher artistic and literary value than History of Entrepreneurship. On September 5, 2008, the symposium on the 0/00th anniversary of Zhou Libo's birthday/KLOC-received 40 papers and two works. The seminar discussed and studied five aspects: first, about Zhou Libo's works; Second, about Zhou Libo's character and standing wave spirit; Thirdly, about Zhou Libo's literary position and influence; Fourthly, about the development of local literature in the new period; Fifth, the significance and thinking about the construction of Qingxi village scenic spot. Summarizing the research history of Zhou Libo in 7 1 year, we can draw the following conclusions: first, the study of writers' works is closely related to the academic culture of the times; Secondly, Zhou Libo's works of millions of words are immortal, and his character and works have left valuable cultural resources for continuous exploration.
