2024-03-04

The Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, recently released the "2023 Research Report on the Development of Chinese Online Literature" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") in Beijing. The report is based on the creation of online literature in China in 2023, and comprehensively observes, analyzes, and evaluates the works of authors, IP development, overseas dissemination, copyright protection, and other aspects. What are the new characteristics and trends in the development of online literature in 2023? What are the new trends in internet IP conversion? What impact does the emergence of generative artificial intelligence have on online literature? As a business card for Chinese culture going global, what are the new changes in online articles going global? The reporter interviewed relevant experts on these issues. The report on "reality+" theme entering the creative field shows that in 2023, the number of online literature writers, works, and readers has shown a steady growth trend. Among them, the author scale reached 24.05 million, the number of works reached 36.2 million, 4.2 million new works were added, and the number of users reached 537 million, a year-on-year increase of 9%. Among them, the trend of youthfulness in online writing continues to deepen, with post-95s and post-00s writers gradually leading the new trend of online literature creation, and post-00s writers becoming the new main force of online literature writers. Most writers have non literary education backgrounds and are mostly part-time writing "slash youths". Chen Dingjia, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that online literature is to some extent youth literature, and the target audience is mostly young people. In the era of the internet, young people share a common understanding and understand each other's demands, and the works of young writers are very popular among readers. The report shows that in 2023, online literature will more prominently integrate excellent traditional Chinese culture into diverse themes and genres, with themes such as history, reality, and science fiction being particularly prominent. In the first "Reading Intangible Cultural Heritage" essay competition organized by the Gongwang Mansion Museum of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Reading Group, there were over 60000 works of intangible cultural heritage themes, involving 127 intangible cultural heritage projects such as Peking Opera, woodcarving, papermaking skills, lion dance, etc. A member of the Network Literature Committee of the Chinese Writers' Association, Suoluo, said that the "national tide fever" in network literature is a new phenomenon of the year. On the one hand, it deeply reflects the aesthetic taste of the masses and is a concrete reflection of the national cultural spirit in the network era. The inherent spiritual temperament of online literature is "Chinese" and can easily be combined with traditional culture to meet the reading needs of readers. On the other hand, this phenomenon is directly related to the current direction of vigorously promoting excellent traditional culture. Many literary websites have organized theme creation activities such as "intangible cultural heritage", which directly promotes the diversified expression of traditional culture in online literature. The report shows that in 2023, the reality theme of online literature reached a new historical high, and the "reality+" theme entered the creative field, with an annual growth rate of over 20%. Tang Qiao, Associate Researcher at the Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that real-life themes are still an important type of online literature creation, with significant improvements in both quantity and quality. The realistic themes of online literature have gathered an unprecedented team of people to create holographic portraits of contemporary China. At the same time, the overlap and integration between realistic themes and other genres make "reality+" a new trend in creation. Micro dramas have become a new direction for adaptation, according to a report,
