Abstract

This article focuses on "crisis narrative" in the professional field of Chinese Language and Literature, exploring its presentation and profound significance as a medium of social anxiety. By analyzing the construction, dissemination and interaction with social reality of crisis narratives in texts, this paper reveals how Chinese Language and Literature carry and reflect social anxiety, as well as the impact of such narratives on professional development, cultural inheritance and social cognition. It aims to provide a theoretical perspective for understanding the predicaments and opportunities of the Chinese Language and Literature major in the contemporary social context, and to promote in-depth thinking on the professional value and social functions.
