For male pioneers, please read "Red and Black"; for revenge novels, please read "The Count of Monte Cristo"; for the prodigal Bible, please read "Blade"; for those who truly pursue their wives in the crematorium, please read "Jane Eyre"... For some time now, "When I open a classic novel through online literature" has become a hot topic on social media. Under this topic, many Chinese and foreign literary classics have been included in the paradigm of online literature, and many netizens are enthusiastically "rereading" them in this way. For example, someone gave a new name to 'The Great Gatsby' - 'I Became a Billionaire After White Moonlight Gets Married'. If we borrow the concept of "literary palace", then classic works are undoubtedly highly revered in the center of the hall, and online literature can only be placed in a corner. Nowadays, can online literature also "touch porcelain" classic works? Has the classic reading mode really been challenged? Masterpieces have undergone the refinement of the times and the selection of time, undoubtedly representing the pinnacle of human literary aesthetics. The literary value of most online literature works is naturally difficult to compare with classic works. However, no one can deny that as a popular cultural trend, online literature has become an increasingly important literary genre that cannot be ignored. It has not only gained recognition from a wide range of readers, but also entered the mainstream perspective. Many years ago, the Chinese Department of Peking University offered courses related to online literature, and some well-known scholars conducted research on online literature. Some universities offer creative writing courses where students can even use online literary works as coursework. Online literature presents highly stylized and typological features. Is an online article about a 'otherworldly continent', a 'fantasy cultivation', or an 'epic fantasy' - opening any online literature platform, you can find several highly summarized keywords, often with several sub keywords under the main keyword. Taking the theme of "time travel" as an example, there are many tricks involved: the protagonist travels back in time to ancient times and uses modern technology to climb the ranks, uses historical knowledge to avoid "minefields", and the host after the journey is either "useless wood" or poisoned and framed... Except for a few "template authors" who have the ability to explore the field of themes and provide new ideas, most online literature writers only repeatedly expand the "map" of online literature based on existing "templates". The prosperity of online literature is achieved by replicating the "pleasure points" of emotions and desires. At the level of dissemination, this undoubtedly provides a comfortable experience for reading comprehension. In contrast, the threshold for reading literary classics is relatively high, and many still have cultural, temporal, and linguistic barriers. In addition, with many "preconceived" interpretations, reading literary classics is indeed difficult to "enjoy". In the habitual cognition of many people, reading classics carries a certain natural seriousness, as if only bathing, burning incense, sitting upright, and showing the strongest sense of ceremony are the correct posture for reading world classics. When I open a classic work in the form of online literature, my desire to read suddenly increases, "joked the netizen, expressing a desire to read the classic work more easily. For example, some netizens describe Lin Daiyu as a "cold and arrogant sick beauty", while Jia Baoyu is a "sincere and enthusiastic little dog". The images of these two literary figures come to life vividly. Classical literature was born before online literature, and the reason why the "framework" of online literature can "envelop" classical literature is essentially because of its pioneering, unique, and classic character portrayal. It is precisely because of the foundation laid by classic literature that online literary works can be "clever". To understand the loyalty and righteousness of literary characters, you need to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"; To understand the "benevolence" of literary characters, you may want to read "Les Mis é rables"; How to sympathize with the lower class workers, "Rickshaw Boy" is an unavoidable work... The memorable online literature scene today is just a leftover from the classic works played hundreds of years ago. Writers are not responsible for evaluating literary characters, but rather leave the evaluation to time. With the change of social values, the public's understanding of characters in literary works is inevitably subject to changes. Interpreting classic literary works through online literature contains a modern perspective on the character Zang or not, and also expresses readers' resistance to the stereotypical interpretation of literary characters. Is the antagonist character, Vice Bishop Claude Frollo, in "Notre Dame Cathedral" only cruel and ruthless? From the perspective of the online article 'Prisoner of Love', it expresses with sympathy that Claude is also a sacrificial lamb of the religious system. This is probably because even hateful people have their own pitiful qualities. However, the reason why reading classic literature is not easy is because it carries rich historical and cultural information and is the culmination of literary creation. Describing "Water Margin" with labels like "always villains force me to go to Liangshan" and describing Jane Eyre with "knowing three is three" is ultimately frivolous. Human nature is full of complexity and variability. Attempting to clarify the personalities and values of literary characters in two or three sentences may seem too simplistic and crude even for online literature. Lack of profound understanding of the times, simply labeling for the convenience of reading, makes it difficult to have a deeper understanding of the characters. We can also see that some excellent online literature writers are brave enough to break through the "comfort zone" of creation, striving to enrich the characters' personalities and narrative levels, and make the value carried by their works more profound. When online literature is no longer limited to the simple routines of "dominating the world" and "white lotus flowers", and undergoes rigorous and enduring literary tempering, it can gain a lasting life in the river of literature. When common literary value standards are followed and sustainable literary power is developed, online literature and classic works naturally no longer face the problem of who "collides" with whom.
