The Lu Xun Literary Institute (鲁迅文学院), located in Beijing, is China's only national academy in literature education. Established in 1950 as the Central Literary Research Institute (中央文学研究所), it was closed in 1957 due to the Anti-Rightist Movement and not reopened until 1980. The current name, after the prominent literary figure Lu Xun, was adapted in 1984.^[1]

Ding Ling was the institute's first director. Promising young writers and government officials working in culture from all provinces are invited to its various workshops, where they listen to lectures by prominent literary figures and professors. Writers who have attended workshops at the Lu Xun Literary Institute include Ye Xin, Wang Anyi, Zhang Kangkang, Qiao Liang, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Liu Zhenyun, Chi Zijian, Gu Hua, Liu Jianwei, Wang Xufeng, Chen Guidi, Zheng Chunhua, Geum Hee, Zhou Daxin, and Zhang Ping.
