Until now, One has studied around change of literature concept in the modern literature. so to speak, Modern literature has been viewed that it stemmed from premodern literature, and was a evolutionary process of itself. But, this article holds that it was a result of reorganization on knowledge system in the late 19th century-the early 20th century. Education made a important roll in this reorganization process. National education was presented as a part of nation building, as a result, woman and child was brought into relief. Modern literature had something to do with discovery of woman and child, that is, a new understanding of man. Chinese humanics in the early 20th century, was studied from three departments of modern knowledge. This was expressed as intellectual education, moral education, physical education and aesthetic education in the education. In the beginning, one paid close attention to literature as a part of intellectual education, of which the objects was generally woman and child. But, before long, one began to recognize that literature had a unique characteristics, and that it was very important in modern education and the building of modern subject. Meanwhile, this change of the topology of literature happened in connection with system of modern knowledge: sociology, educational psychology, anthropology etc. Liang Qichao and Yan Fu attached great importance to knowledge education from sociology. But Wang Guowei and Zhou Zuoren contrastively laid emphasis on aesthetic education and moral education, who approached them from each educational psychology and anthropology. In conclusion, we can confirm that modern literature is the result reconstructed in modern educational system.
