In the 1930s, Taiwanese literature began to mature. Following the first Nativist Literature Debate, the island's literary circles had come to accept that literature had to be rooted in one's native soil. At the same time, socialism had come into its own and displaced the earlier nationalist ideology, resulting in leftist literature's movement into the mainstream.
一九三○年代，台灣文學開始進入成熟期，文學界透過鄉土文學論戰，釐清了文學扎根於本鄉本土的必要，同時，蓬勃發展的社會主義取代了民族意識，左翼文學漸躍為主流。
