Abstract

Christianity and western modernism exercised a great influence on Xu Xu,who treats the comparative study of Chinese Culture and Western culture as his cultural review center.Though he has a dense love knot to Chinese traditional culture,Mr.Xu is quite aware of its retardation and corruption and he knows the low quality of the nation through and through.That's the reason why he worships the science,the democracy and the freedom in western modern culture.The cultural reviews in his novels were distinctly affected by western culture,which added many cultural factors that did not exist in Chinese traditional culture to his novels.So there is no doubt that it is vitally important and much valuable to do some research into how Christianity and western culture affected Mr.Xu.
