ABSTRACT
Marxism initiated a new era for people to fight for socialist future and also ushered in a new era for each discipline of science to witness profound changes as it benefited from dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Any theory is the distillation of practical experience and in turn foreruns and guides of practice. According to Lenin and Mao Zedong, without revolutionary theory there could be no revolutionary movement. In no way can theoretical development be isolated from practice; instead, the motive source of theoretical thinking is often derived from realistic practice. In modern times, Western scientism advocated seeking the truth and empirical evidence, thus classifying the research method of natural sciences into social science and humane science. Formalists argue that the form is most important to literature because it determines the nature of literature while the content is not as important, that the content of literary works is contingent on form and that literary research should focus on formal technique.
