The full name of Sci-Fi is Science fiction, and its literal translation should be science fiction (English full name: Science Fiction Novel), which is a literary genre originating from modern western countries.
Its definition is to make reasonable assumptions on the basis of respecting scientific conclusions. As for the literary creation, it is generally believed that excellent science fiction should have three elements: logical self-consistency, scientific elements and humanistic thinking. At present, paying attention to narration and pursuing humanistic thinking has become the mainstream of science fiction, and domestic science fiction has also shown a trend of neglecting science and attaching importance to literature and art.
It is worth noting that the novels under the so-called sci-fi classification on the major domestic online literature platforms rarely fully possess the above three elements, and their subdivision types and audiences are quite different from the sci-fi novels defined in this entry, and they are not recognized by China sci-fi circles and the World Science Fiction Association, and belong to a branch of online literature. Therefore, this entry will not introduce this type.
Chinese was also first translated into science fiction. Although from the perspective of science fiction history, there is no definition standard that can be recognized by all researchers.
