Chinese Literature, in some years Chinese Literature: Fiction, Poetry, Art, was an English-language literary magazine of Chinese literature in translation. It was founded in 1951[1] by Yeh Chun-chan (叶君健), Sidney Shapiro, Yang Xianyi, and Gladys Yang.[2] The headquarters was in Beijing.[1] In 1956, Chinese Literature was incorporated into the state-run Foreign Languages Press.[3] Publication ceased in 2001, but newer contents appeared on its website for a time.[4]

The magazine ran quarterly from 1951–1957, bimonthly in 1958, monthly from 1959–1983, and quarterly from 1984–2000. Over 2000 writers and artists were featured in the issues.[5]
