With the strengthening of globalization and integration，the concept of place has gradually expanded into the concept of space. The transformation of transportation and communication，as well as the time-space compression，profoundly changed people's aesthetic experience，and enriched and expanded the geographical perspective of literary research.

The discussion of these problems will not only help to correct the bias of excessive reliance on the time dimension in literature research，but also help to deepen and improve the understanding of modernity.
