2022-05-23
This is an important landmark node in the long volume of the Centennial party history and an epoch-making dazzling coordinate of Chinese literature and Art: 80 years ago, Comrade Mao Zedong's speech at the Yan'an Symposium on literature and art pointed out the right direction for Chinese revolutionary literature and art, and there was a bright light for the development of China's new literature and art. Culture prospers the country, sports prosper, culture is strong, and the nation is strong. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has taken building a national, scientific and popular new culture of the Chinese nation as its mission, and actively promoted cultural construction and the prosperity and development of literature and art. Contemporary China has magnificent rivers and mountains, heroic people and great prospects. The new era has provided an unprecedented broad stage for the prosperity and development of China's literature and art. The eyes are filled with thousands of rivers and the chest is filled with millions of soldiers. The majority of literary and artistic workers work with the party in the same direction, keep pace with the times, express their feelings for the people, and strive to write the magnificent epic of national rejuvenation. Starting from Yan'an The National Museum of China has carefully built a 12 meter long wall for group photos of participants of Yan'an Literature and Art Symposium. In the huge black-and-white images, the simple and exciting faces freeze the time. China in 1942 was at a critical moment for the survival of the nation. The Yan'an Symposium on literature and art held in May this year had a profound impact on the development track of Chinese literature and art in the 20th century. Comrade Mao Zedong presided over a symposium on literature and art attended by literary and art workers and heads of central departments and delivered an important speech. He clearly pointed out that "the question of why people are a fundamental question, a question of principle" and "our literature and art are for the people". He issued a call to the broad masses of literary and artistic soldiers: promising writers and artists must go to the masses, unconditionally and wholeheartedly to the masses of workers, peasants and soldiers for a long time, and to the fiery struggle. Liu Baiyu, a participant and writer, later described: "I even feel that the weight of the whole world is condensed on China's Northwest Plateau and this piece of loess at this time, and in the hearts of everyone in this venue. Since then, Chinese literature, art and Chinese literary and art workers have undergone great changes." Among the people and in the fiery struggle, literary and artistic workers in the liberated areas rushed to the front line of the war of resistance against Japan, went deep into the countryside, troops and factories, and created a large number of works representing "Yan'an Literature and art": the novel "the sun shines on the Sanggan River", "storm", the short story "Xiao Er Hei's marriage", "Lotus Lake", the national opera "white haired girl", the folk song "Oriental red" and "turning over Daoqing"... Until today, These red classics are still enlightening. Literature and art for the people is a spiritual vein starting from Yan'an and running through the history of literature and art in New China. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "our literature and art belong to the people" and "the people are the mother of literary and art workers". Comrade Jiang Zemin urged the majority of literary and artistic workers to "create art in the historical creation of the people and create artistic progress in the progress of the people". Comrade Hu Jintao stressed: "only by putting the people at the top of their hearts, always with the people, and adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, can the tree of art be evergreen." History opens a new page. "Socialist literature and art, in essence, is the literature and art of the people"; "There are 100 or 1000 literary and artistic creation methods, but the most fundamental, critical and reliable way is to take root in the people and life"; "Literature and art should not lose its direction in the tide of market economy and should not deviate from the question of why people are, otherwise literature and art will have no vitality"; "Chinese writers and artists should become the forerunners, pioneers and advocates of the trend of the times, write and record the great practice of the people and the progress requirements of the times through more literary and artistic works with muscles, bones, morality and temperature, and highlight the beauty of faith and Sublimity"; …… 72 years apart, the two art symposiums echo each other. The same heroes gather together, speak freely, care about the people and have the same feelings of family and country. The two symposiums came down in one continuous line and kept pace with the times, becoming a landmark milestone in the development of Chinese literature and art. Forge ahead along the irreversible road of great rejuvenation and embark on a new journey of great rejuvenation. Writers and artists in the new era adhere to the "two for" direction and the "double hundred" policy, adhere to creative transformation and innovative development, sing for the people on a broader stage, cast the soul of the times, and better build the Chinese spirit, Chinese value and Chinese strength. Consistent feelings of the people The high pitched folk songs of Northern Shaanxi, the cheerful Ansai waist drum and the long and thick Humai are intertwined and echoed in Yan'an, Shaanxi. On May 20, 2022, Wulan Muqi of Inner Mongolia came to the starting point of new China's literature and art to perform for the local people and draw strength from the Yan'an spirit. Taking the people as the center is not only the echo of history, but also the proposition of the times. For more than 60 years, generations of Wulan pastoral riders have trekked around the Gobi and grassland, taking the sky as the curtain and the earth as the stage to convey the voice and care of the party, send joy to the majority of farmers and herdsmen, and become a banner of the national literary and artistic front. The long-term prosperity of Wulan Muqi shows that people need art, and art also needs people. "Rivers and mountains are the people, and the people are rivers and mountains. It is the duty of writers to write for the people." Tie Liu, the winner of Lu Xun Literature Award and writer, took Liu Qing's writing "history of entrepreneurship" as an example, went deep into the countryside for 14 years of "rescue" interviews, wrote a long documentary literature "backer" to reproduce the moving front story, and was rated as "China's good book" in 2021. He sincerely lamented: "going deep into life and taking root in the people is like drilling a well. The water is as sweet as the well is deep." Adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, go deep into life, focus on reality, concentrate on creative work, and constantly cultivate. China's literary and artistic undertakings have a new pattern, a new realm and a new atmosphere. The art garden is full of flowers and fruitful achievements—— The film "me and my motherland", "Changjin Lake", the TV series "mountain and sea feelings", "the awakening era", the novel "the world" and "the protagonist", the dance drama "the eternal radio wave", the drama "Gu Wenchang", the Henan Opera "Jiao Yulu"... Excellent works with temperature, strength and strength emerge in endlessly, which stimulate extensive emotional resonance. Taking meeting the people's spiritual and cultural needs as the starting point and foothold of literature and art and literary and artistic work, the majority of literary and artistic workers enthusiastically carried out voluntary service activities such as "going to the people" and "sending joy to the grass-roots level", went deep into more than 400 prefectures, cities, districts and counties, trained more than 200000 grass-roots literary and artistic backbone, and let the light of literature and art illuminate every corner of the grass-roots level. Beijing, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Xinjiang and other seven provinces, autonomous regions and cities have promoted the pilot project of "literature and art into thousands of families and healthy you, me and him" new era civilization practice literature and art voluntary service project, organized and carried out more than 8000 various literature and art voluntary service activities, and made positive contributions to the construction of the new era civilization practice center and enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the grass-roots people.

On the road of rejuvenation, the banner of "literature and art for the people" is becoming more and more bright! Sound the horn of advancing the times Literature and art is the clarion call for the advancement of the times. It can best represent the style of an era and lead the atmosphere of an era. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the theatrical performance "great journey" shows the glorious course of the Communist Party of China in the past century, inspires the spirit and inspires the fighting spirit; The Gala to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China, struggle, Chinese people, reproduces the great course of generations of Chinese people's unremitting struggle for national independence and national prosperity and strength, which has aroused great resonance; "Our 40 years", a gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, vividly depicts the magnificent changes brought about by reform and opening up, and shows the heroic feelings of the whole nation on a new journey; …… In the retrospect and inheritance of art, the imprint of family and country feelings is clearly visible. One side of the stage, performing a century of elegance. On the occasion of the centenary of the Communist Party of China, a large number of stage art classics reflecting the Centennial course of the party, such as the national opera "the daughter of the party", the Peking Opera "the red light", and the ballet "the Red Detachment of women", appeared on the stage of the new era again and spread out a colorful historical picture. It is the portrait of the times, the biography of the times, and the morality of the times.
