As a response to the call of time, the hardworking scholars broke off the traditional mode that focused on version, annotation, collating, and exegetical literature research; and from the perspective of pure literature, this study of literary selections presented a longitudinal color, and compared it with some books such as “Wen-Hsin-Diao-Long”. This study displayed the culture charms of the six dynasties. Breaking out of the shadows of “ancient scripts”, the research mode of Literary Selections gradually transformed from traditional to modern, which showed the modern and scientific characters, forming a mirror reflecting the complicated research in the late Republic of China. Scholars at that time revealed modern characters as they actively embraced the world and kept the cultural tradition.
