Chinese Literature and Arts is a premier bimonthly journal dedicated to the vibrant and evolving landscape of contemporary Chinese culture. Published by the New York-based World Chinese Publishing, our journal serves as a sophisticated nexus where the Chinese-speaking creative world meets a global audience.

The Curatorial Vision

We believe that culture is not a relic, but a "living" force. Curated by a prestigious collective of world-class writers, senior editors, and veteran publishers with deep international perspectives, Chinese Literature and Arts transcends geographical boundaries. We explore the profound depths of the Chinese language and the expansive creativity of the global Chinese diaspora.

What We Explore

Our editorial scope is cross-disciplinary and borderless, focusing on four core pillars:
  • Literature & Stage Arts: From groundbreaking prose and poetry to the transformative power of performance.
  • Visual Arts: Showcasing contemporary works that redefine aesthetics in a global context.
  • Theory & Discourse: Rigorous explorations into the intellectual foundations of modern art and letters.
  • Critical Reviews: Sharp, insightful commentary and academic criticism on the works shaping our world.

Engage with the Living Arts

Each issue is a carefully crafted tapestry of:
  • Original Works: Premiering new voices and established masters.
  • Artist Profiles: In-depth features on the creators behind the masterpieces.
  • In-depth Commentaries: Engaging dialogues with leading thinkers and practitioners.
