Exploring the Trend of Stylistic Evolution of Chinese Modern and Contemporary Literary Works Based on Big Data Analysis

Abstract

The study analyzes the stylistic evolution of contemporary Chinese literary works using the MONK project. Text mining tools in the project are used to analyze the thematic classification, emotional tendency and stylistic type changes of the works. Among them, LDA model and GBDT algorithm are used to identify the thematic classification of Chinese modern and contemporary literary works, SO-PMI algorithm is used to identify the emotional tendency in the works, and the vector space model can classify the style of the works. Based on the above methods, the theme and emotional changes of modern and contemporary Chinese literary works can be categorized into 3 stages: the awakening of Enlightenmentism at the beginning of the 20th century, the diversified presentation during the revolutionary period, and the diversified development after the reform and opening up. The styles of modern and contemporary Chinese literary works can be divided into epic style, lyrical style, rural theme style and intellectual theme style.
