In the 1930s in Beijing, Zhu Guangqian hosted a literary salon that met monthly to recite prose and poetry, east and west. Regulars included Wen Yiduo (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Chen Mengjia (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Zhu Ziqing (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Zheng Zhenduo (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Feng Zhi (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Shen Congwen (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Bing Xin (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Ling Shuhua (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Bian Zhilin (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Lin Huiyin (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Xiao Qian (Script error: No such module "Lang".). These were pivotal figures in Republican literature, and it can perhaps be argued that the salon was important to the formation of the so-called Beijing style literature (Script error: No such module "Lang".) of the period.
