Abstract. The article traces the evolution of one of the Chinese literature genres - essay (sanwen) occurring at the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century. This process resulted in the appearance of a popular subgenre - "new literary style essay". The author concludes that the transition from the essays written in the classical Chinese to the publicistic essays was made due to the foreign literature receptions. To justify his conclusions the author uses the essays by the publicist of the beginning of the XX century Liang Qichao which were not translated into Russian.
