Wang Zengqi's novels are full of concern, respect and appreciation for people, showing a strong
humanitarian spirit. Inheriting the personality of a scholar-official, he became a "Chinese-style lyrical humanist" by
combining the traditional value orientation with the heterogeneous factors in his own temperament. Scholar-official's
feelings deeply influenced Wang Zengqi's humanitarian writing style. He expressed the concern for the underclass
with elegance, constructed the humane ideal with virtue, criticized the reality with gentleness, moistened the secular
soul with idle writing, and showed his sense of social responsibility and thought about the quality of life. Based on
Wang Zengqi's eclectic ideological characteristics, this paper discusses Wang Zengqi's Chinese-style humanitarian
novels from three aspects: accepting humanitarianism, forming Chinese-style humanitarian thoughts under the
influence of scholar-officials and writing novel characteristics.
