初中文学课本中所选的中国现代小说,反映了“五四”以来一直到社会主义改造、社会主义建设时期的社会生活的主要面貌。从“五四”以来的具有代表性的作家、作品一般都入选了一些,内容是比较丰富的。初中文学课本编选的中国现代小说,可分作两类:一类是长篇小说的节选,如“果树园”、“分马”等;一类是短篇小说。 The selection of modern Chinese novels in junior high school textbooks reflects the main aspects of social life since the May 4th Movement up to the period of socialist transformation and socialist construction. Since the May 4th Movement, representative writers and works have generally been selected and their content is relatively rich. Chinese modern novels compiled by junior high school textbooks can be divided into two categories: one is excerpts of novels, such as “orchard”, “sub-horse” and so on; one is short story.
