Lingxiao Xu was an outstanding journalist and drama critic columnist in the early years of the Republic of China, who was famous for his unique cultural narrative space and keen insight into social changes. In the early years of the Republic of China, when the free press system was in its embryonic form, commercial newspapers and periodicals continued to develop, news agencies matured and radio broadcasts appeared. How to integrate academic knowledge into news practice and how personal efforts and social changes interacted to promote the historical process were very important. Lingxiao Xu, with his unique journalistic ideas and practice, occupied an important position in the history of journalism and culture in this period, and was called one of the "three outstanding journalists" in the early Republic of China.

Lingxiao Xu's journalistic ideas are deeply influenced by his personal background and the background of the times. In his early years, he traveled with his father and had a profound understanding of social changes. His journalism also began with his concern for social and political issues in the process of modernization. He advocated the independence of news economy and speech, pursued objectivity and truth, guided public opinion with newspapers, and advocated "news self-discipline". This "journalistic professionalism" made his news reports not only adept at historical anecdotes, but also strongly critical and independent, paying attention to people's livelihood and social progress, and writing smoothly and simply. His reporting style, news concept, and his communication and essays had played an important role in reflecting and influencing social and political events.

Generally speaking, Lingxiao Xu's works reflect the complex social background and cultural dynamics during the Republic of China, providing important materials for studying the social and cultural changes in China during that period. His life and journalism also provide valuable practical paths and profound enlightenment for current and future journalists and cultural workers.
