Over the past hundred years, the party has led the literary and artistic front to continuously explore and practice, and has embarked on a path of literary and artistic development guided by Marxism, conforming to China's national conditions and cultural traditions, and exalting the people's nature. Both history and practice have proved that adhering to the party's leadership and adhering to the people's stand is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of socialist literary and artistic undertakings. We must deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions, fully understand the great significance of the people's position, deeply understand the important connotation of the people's position, firmly grasp the key direction of the people's position, always adhere to the people's position of literature and art in the new era, and make new contributions to striving to achieve the second centenary goal and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Fully understand the great significance of the people's position
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "contemporary China, the country and mountains are magnificent, the people are heroic, and the future is great." To promote the development of socialist literature and art and build a socialist cultural power, contemporary Chinese literature and art "have an unshirkable obligation, heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, and great achievements." In the new era, Chinese literature and art adhere to the people's position and provide ideological guarantee, internal motivation and spiritual support for the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art.
Literature and art in the new era shoulder a lofty mission. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese people in modern times. Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we are more confident and capable of achieving this goal than at any time in history. To this end, we must attach great importance to and give full play to the important role of literature and art and literary and art workers. Raising the spiritual banner, establishing spiritual pillars, and building spiritual homes are inseparable from literature and art. Literature and art are the clarion call of the times, which can best represent the style of an era and the most able to lead the atmosphere of an era. Both history and reality have proved that the rejuvenation of a nation requires strong material strength as well as strong spiritual strength. Only by taking the Chinese road, carrying forward the Chinese spirit, and condensing China's strength can we continue to march towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the journey of the new era, worthy of the times and the people.
Literature and art in the new era stimulate spiritual motivation. Culture is an important force for the survival and development of a nation. In the course of thousands of years of historical changes, the Chinese nation has never been smooth sailing, and one of the important reasons why it has been able to survive and come through countless hardships and hardships is that generations of Chinese sons and daughters have cultivated and developed a unique, broad and profound Chinese culture, providing a strong spiritual support for the Chinese nation to overcome difficulties and live endlessly. Building a spiritual world Chinese the people and building a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation are inseparable from literature and art, and literary and art workers have a lot to offer. Through more literary and artistic works with bones, morality, and temperature, writing and recording the great practice of the people and the progressive requirements of the times, we can carry forward the Chinese spirit, unite China's strength, and encourage the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to march vigorously into the future. In the new era, Chinese literature and art should enhance their cultural consciousness, strengthen cultural self-confidence, actively participate in the construction of a socialist cultural power with a strong historical initiative, and use the cultural creation of unremitting self-improvement and virtue to display the new atmosphere of Chinese literature and art and create a new glory of Chinese culture.
Literature and art in the new era purify the soul of the mind. Literature and art are the world languages and the best way for different countries and peoples to understand and communicate with each other. Cultural people, more able to condense the soul; With art, it is easier to communicate with the world. Chinese people have always had profound feelings for the world, and Chinese literature and art in the new era should naturally turn their attention to the world and all mankind. Tell The Story of China with Affection and Strength, and show the world a credible, lovely and respectable image of China; By creating more Chinese cultural images known to the world, we strive to show a vivid and three-dimensional China and write a new chapter for promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. In the face of the turmoil in today's world culture, Under the strong leadership of the party, Under the guidance of Marxism, Chinese literature and art are based on the land of China, rooted in China's excellent traditional culture, and stand tall in the world with a more lofty posture. Both history and reality have proved that only by adhering to the people's stand can we ensure that the people are full of prosperity in their spiritual life, and can we ensure that Chinese literature and art can clearly establish the Chinese school, display Chinese style, and firmly establish a foothold in the field of world literature and art.
Deeply understand the important connotations of the people's position
General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out: "Socialist literature and art, in essence, is the people's literature and art. In order for literature and art to reflect the voice of the people, we must adhere to the fundamental orientation of serving the people and serving socialism. Adhering to the people's stand of literature and art in the new era is a basic requirement put forward by the party on the literary and artistic front and the fundamental guarantee for the development of socialist literature and art.
Originating from the people, serving the people, and belonging to the people is the fundamental position of socialist literature and art. Literature and art originate from the people, and the people are the source of literary and artistic creation. People's lives are an inexhaustible source of literary and artistic creation. Taking root in the people, taking root in life, going into the depths of practice, and going among the people is the most fundamental, crucial, and reliable method for literary and artistic creation. Literature and art are for the people, and the needs of the people are the fundamental value of the existence of literature and art. Satisfying the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs is the starting point and foothold of literature and art and literary and artistic work. Literature and art belong to the people, and its essence is the people's literature and art. For whom to create and for whom to make a statement are the focus and focus of literature and art and literary and artistic work. Only literary and artistic creations that conform to the will of the people and reflect the concerns of the people can always maintain their vitality; Only literary and artistic undertakings rooted in real life and keeping up with the trend of the times can prosper and develop.
Who to serve, who to rely on, and who I am are the key elements of the cause of socialist literature and art. Literature and art must love the people. Whether there is affection or not, and who has feelings for whom, determines the fate of literary and artistic creation. To love the people, we must love sincerely, thoroughly, and enduringly. Keep the people's warmth and coldness, the people's happiness, and the people's joys and sorrows in mind at all times, pour your love for the people into the pen, and use your heart and hard work to express the people, depict the people, and sing the people. Literature and art should reflect the voice of the people. Literary and artistic creation should adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, regard the people as the main body of literary and artistic performance, strive to portray the most beautiful characters, and truly praise and struggle for life. The prosperity and development of literature and art must closely rely on the people. The people are the creators of history, the judges and connoisseurs of literary and artistic aesthetics. Fully respect the people's status as the main body of history and the pioneering spirit, profoundly understand and grasp the great historical experience of "upholding the supremacy of the people", keep in mind "all successes are attributed to the people, and all glory belongs to the people", create for the people, sing songs for the times, and let the hundred gardens of literature and art bloom for the people forever.
Write for the people, lyrically for the people, and lyrically for the people, and highlight the people's feelings of socialist literature and art. Under the leadership of the party, socialist literature and art hold high the banner of the people, and are committed to creating more outstanding works that meet the cultural needs of the people and enhance the people's spiritual strength, vividly demonstrating the people's feelings of socialist literature and art. As long as we grasp this foothold, we can accurately grasp the relationship between party spirit and people's nature, the relationship between political stance and creative freedom, and we can truly create for the people, closely rely on the people, and deeply love the people. Standing in a new historical position, only by firmly establishing the Marxist concept of literature and art, adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, extracting themes and extracting themes from the changes of the times, China's progress, and the people's call, unifying thoughts and emotions, connecting the mind and creativity, and truly displaying the beauty of Chinese history, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the beauty of culture, can literature and art in the new era exert the greatest positive energy. Only by persisting in working with the party with one heart and one mind, walking in the same direction with the people, and always taking serving the people as the natural duty of literary and art workers can we stand firm in the people's stand in concrete work and live up to the times and the people.
Firmly grasp the practical path of the people's position
To truly take the people as the center and promote the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art in the new era, we must firmly grasp the key direction of the people's stand. To this end, it is necessary to unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, consciously undertake the mission and task of raising the banner, gathering people's hearts, cultivating new talents, revitalizing culture, and displaying images, showing new responsibilities in bacon casting the soul, achieving new deeds in shouzheng innovation, and renewing the style of Mingde Xiu, so as to provide a strong value guidance, cultural cohesion and spiritual impetus for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
A great cause requires a great spirit. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The rejuvenation of a nation requires strong material strength and also strong spiritual strength. Without the active guidance of advanced culture, without the great enrichment of the people's spiritual world, and without the continuous enhancement of the spiritual strength of the nation, it is impossible for a country and a nation to stand tall among the nations of the world. "The broad masses of literary and art workers should highly unify their thinking and actions, profoundly grasp the theme of the times of national rejuvenation, closely integrate the pursuit of life and artistic life with the future of the country, the destiny of the nation, and the aspirations of the people, and write literary and artistic creations into the history of national rejuvenation and the journey of the people's struggle with literature and culture. The vast number of literary and art workers should consciously undertake the historical mission entrusted by the new era, have the courage to answer the questions of the times, discover the themes of creation from the great creations of contemporary China, capture the inspiration of creation, and profoundly reflect the great historical changes of the times; We should have the courage to record the new era, write about the new era, and praise the new era, show the spiritual atmosphere of the new era in an all-round panorama, and paint a portrait of the times, establish a biography for the times, and create a legacy for the times.
Great spirit inspires great innovation. Innovation is the life of literature and art, and the vast number of literary and art workers should highly unify their thinking and actions, profoundly understand the value and meaning of literary and artistic creation, run the spirit of innovation through the entire process of literary and artistic creation, enhance the ability of literary and artistic originality, and strive to create outstanding works worthy of the great era. We should grasp the relationship between inheritance and innovation, let China's excellent traditional culture become an important source of literary and artistic innovation, and use the best works to keep up with the times to open up a new realm of literature and art; We should integrate artistic creativity and Chinese cultural values, combine the Chinese aesthetic spirit with contemporary aesthetic pursuits, activate the vitality of Chinese culture, create and produce more excellent works that disseminate Chinese contemporary values, embody the spirit of Chinese culture, and reflect people's aesthetic pursuits, and dedicate the best spiritual food to the people.
Great innovation casts a great soul. In the new era, literature and art adhere to artistic ideals, pursue both virtue and art, and shoulder the social mission of becoming a weathered person. The literary and artistic front should persist in carrying forward the right path, preserving righteousness for history, promoting virtue for the people of the world, and cultivating virtue for the literary and artistic undertakings of the party and the people. The broad masses of literary and art workers should unify their thinking and actions, establish a grand historical outlook and a grand view of the times, grasp the historical process and the general trend of the times, carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, carry forward the great spirit of party building, and sing the main theme of the times. The broad masses of literary and art workers should regard patriotism as the main line of literary and artistic creation, guide the people to establish and adhere to a correct outlook on history, nationality, the state, and culture, and enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence in being Chinese. We should express the aspirations of the Chinese people to struggle, the power of creation, and the fruits of development, reflect the great changes of the Chinese nation over the past thousand years, and reveal the right path on earth in China for a hundred years. We should cherish our own social influence and strive to cast the soul with noble ethics and works of both literary quality and beauty.
