Abstract As a kind of mass media targeted at urban residents, newspapers and periodicals have a distinct influence on the theme, layout and style in Xu Xus novels. As a result, he embeds popular love entanglement pattern in his unique life experience. He focuses on displaying the farce in marriage life when he writes the theme of marriage and love. He draws lessons from the layout of traditional Chinese novels. He makes good use of flashbacks, segmented dialogues, suspension and misunderstanding in telling stories. His language is not only poetic and philosophical, but also funny and humorous. At the same time, the shortcomings of newspapers and periodicals themselves and the catering to readers and market also bring into his novel creation many protracted and lengthy descriptions, rough plots and mass production of model works. Through the analysis of the gains and losses of Xus novel creation under the influence of newspapers and periodicals, we can understand the relationship between modern media and literature.
