Abstract:Hu Feng's manuscript Notes on Ding Ling's Works was officially published in 2012. From the paper usage of the manuscript and Hu Feng's related self narration, it can be judged that the manuscript was written in 1931. It is Hu Feng's second attempt after the failure of his first attempt to literary criticism. This attempt, which uses the reading notes, is to comment on Ding Ling's early work In The Dark. Although the manuscript has not been written up to article, there are many insights in it, which shows Hu Feng's ability in literary criticism. Through this attempt, Hu Feng rebuilt confidence in literary criticism.The reason why Hu Feng commented on Ding Ling's early work In The Dark is that he tried to understand Ding Ling from the origin and found that Ding Ling had the same view of society as himself. In his comments, Hu Feng viewed Ding Ling with her literature and get a general idea of her personality, so he could get along well with Ding Ling at first sight. From Hu Feng's manuscript, we can also see that Hu Feng pays attention to the writer's creative process in literary criticism, goes deep into the writer's creative psychology, is considerate of the writer's creative joys and sorrows, and shows the habit of creating concepts by himself. Hu Feng has shown his own critical style in this attempt of literary criticism.
