= THE OUTLINE OF WEB LITERATURE =
The web literature didn't have a such long history, but it had great impact on the whole Chinese literature.

== The start of web literature ==

Pi Zi Cai could be recognizes as the first Web literature writer. He finished his famous work'' The first intimate contact'' in 1998 and made a sensation rapidly.
It was a love tragedy between the two main characters.The First Intimate Contact was first published by Tsai in the form of online installments on a bulletin board system. The complete story became popular in Taiwan, attracting a publisher and being released in print.

=== Paragraph examples ===
THEME of the fear for loneliness

我希望自己不会无时无刻地想起她,而这种希望..就好像我希望天空不是蓝色的;就好像我希望树木不是绿色的:就好像我希望星星不在黑夜里闪耀:就好像我希望太阳不在白天时高照。

I hope that he will not think of her at all times, but that hope,just as I hope the sky is not blue;
just as I hope the trees are not green; just as I hope the stars do not shine night;just as I hope the sun when the day is not high.

我一个人，不孤单想你时，才会孤单

I am a person, not alone like you, only lonely -------荃 Tsuen

爱在哪里，就在你湛蓝如海的眼眸里阳光一照，便热情灿烂微风一吹，便柔情荡漾 .
Love where you are blue in the sea Yanmou where the sun, such as a photo, then warm and brilliant micro-Fengyi Chui, then tenderness
waves.

== The next step for wen literature——Professional literature websites ==
The first website------Rong Shu Xia

Start from: 1997.12.25

Founder: Zhu Weilian 朱威廉

Famous writer: 韩寒、慕容雪村、宁财神、安妮宝贝、李嘉贤、蔡骏、郭敬明、楚惜刀、贾飞、画龙

But at this time, the development of web literature was not as good as our expectation, it just provide a platform
and remind people of web literature existence .However, so many businessmen found the large development space
behind it and try to make money from it.

==The following websites group==
Hong Xiu Tian Xiang(1998)

Huan Jian Lian Meng(2001.5

Qi Dian Zhong Wen(2002.5)

17k Xiao Shuo(2006.5)

Zong Heng Zhong Wen(2008.9)

So many websites appeared one by one, and the new rules and regulations were built up in this process.
The web literature started to make its one style which was set uo on common readers.

== The biggest revolution in website literature---From PC to Mobile internet generation==

The symbol of this turning is the 'CM reading.com'
It stated in 2010.
Different forms appeared and literature had a larger space to communicate. Everyone could made comments
and have some writing on their hand-in devices. The technology made literature easy and simple.

== different point of vies of Bingxin's work ==

== Bingxin started to her works in the early 20th century when the Chinese writers just tried to write in vernacular. we could easily find the immature side of her works both in language and thoughts.
So I suppose that Bingxin should be a significant figure when we study in the 'HISTORY"of literature, but not so that important for the research in WRITING itself.
