| In the 21 st century,China’s socialist modernization has entered a new historical period,which poses new requirements for political,economic,cultural and even ecological construction.One of the requirements is that the cultural prosperity and literary and artistic prosperity should keep pace with the new era and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,Xi Jinping has elevated the sociolist cause of literature and art with Chinese characteristics to a new historical level.Facing the difficulties and contradictions in the development of our literary and artistic cause since the reform and opening-up,based on the need to answer the questions of the new era,president Xi emphasizes the affinity of the socialist literature and art to the people and profoundly expounds the inherent unity between the socialist literature and art and the people,and hereby forms the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people in the new era.The thought,under the guidance of Marxist literary and artistic theory and rooted in the practice of China’s literature and art in the new era,answers the questions in the development of China’s literature and art,acts as a program of action for the development and construction of China’s Chinese people’s literary and artistic cause,and is characterized by its distinctive characteristics of the era,practicality and innovation.The thesis intensively studies the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people in the new era,excavates its scientific connotation and innovative achievements,explores the theoretical foundation of the people-oriented creative orientation,summarizes the progress of its localization in China,and studies its development and innovation from the perspective of historical materialism.The main contents of the study are as follows.An exploration is made of the formation and development of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people.The thought was formed in the longterm proletarian revolutionary practice,originally proposed by Marx and Engles and enriched and practised in the Former Soviet Union through sucessive theoretical evolutions in different periods.With the constant deepening of Marxism localization in China,a more complete and systematic theoretical summerization is made of the guiding role of the thought of the affinity of literature and art to the people in the practice of Chinese people’s literature and art.A systematic analysis is made of the unfolding and advancement of the localization in China of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people,which happened gradually in response to various problems in different historical periods.Based on its historical devepment,this thesis divides the process of its localization in China into four periods: the germination of the thought of “popularization of literary and art” in the “May Fourth” New Cultural Movement and the period of the Left-wing Writers’ Alliance;the gradual formation of the ideological system of “literature and art for the people” proposed by Mao Zedong during the period of Chinese revolution and construction;the booming of China’a literary and artisitic cause guided by the “Two Fors” principle in the period of socialist construction since the reform and opening-up;the inheritance and development of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people by the literary and artisitic thought “centering on the people” in the new era.A summarization is made of the inheritance and scientific connotation of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people in the new era.The nature of socialism entails the close and inherent connection between literature and art and the people.The thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people in the new era has entered a new phase by sticking to the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people and the people-centered creative direction,adhering to the people-as-subjects creation principle of literature and art and taking such subjective factors of literary and artistic creation as reflection,aesthetics,judgment,etc.into consideration.The CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping as its core,focuses on issues of the new era,sums up historical experience,fully affirms the spiritual power guiding Chinese people,sticks to the value pursuit of the people’s happy life,and emphasizes and advances the people’s literature and art into a new course.A study is made of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art to the people in the new era.In the process of constructing the socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era,the people’s literary and artistic cause has also ushered in a new situation of innovation and development.It is believed that Xi Jinping has placed and functionally localized the literary and artistic cause in the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,and creatively expounded its connotation and practice in the new era from the developmental perspective,which reflects the unity of the new era and innovation,pushes China’s socialist literature and art in the new era to a new stage,and scientifically foresees its powerful guiding significance.A tentative exploration is made of the practice of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literaturte and art to the people in the new era.It takes a gradual process to resolve the difficulties and problems of the era.Taking the impact and challenges from the external environment that our country’s literary and artistic cause will face during a certain period of time into consideration,we must face up to the problems and deficiencies in our own development.This thesis makes a deep analysis of the causes of these problems based on the current situation,and not only conducts tentative thinking of the strategies coping with these difficulties in the new era based on the guiding significance and practical function of the thought of the affinity of Marxist literature and art in the new era but also raises specific suggestions to promote the development of the socialist literature and art cause with Chinese characteristics on the basis of studying its important scientific guiding significance in order to promote the great development and prosperity of the socialist culture. |
