Abstract
As a peripheral organization of the League of Leftist Writers and a small private bookstore, the Tianma Bookstore made a significant contribution to the development of new literature by publishing various literary series, particularly left-wing works on literature and art during the Anticultural Encirclement Movement in the 1930s. The struggle for cultural hegemony was intense between the organic intellectuals of the emerging social class and the official intellectuals of the ruling class in civil society, as opposed to political society. As members of Tianma, Lu Xun, three editors and two bookstore managers were such organic intellectuals with a strong revolutionary spirit. Under the leadership of Lu Xun, this revolutionary spirit further contributed to shaping the revolutionary tradition of new literature.
