Marxist Literature And Art Form

The process of sinicization of Marxist theory of literature and art is a very important topic for study. Continually combined with literary and artistic practice in China, Marxist theory of literature and art integrates with the different times and takes on different forms. They are Mao Zedong's and Deng Xiaoping's and Jiang Zemin's thoughts about literature and art and Hu Jintao's theory about the construction of harmonious culture. Though they have different main contents and emphases, these thoughts have the same philosophical foundation—Marxism and thus they have the same guiding ideology and spiritual essence. Although challenged by various western literary theories, Marxist theory of literature and art has profoundly influenced and determined the prosperity and development of Chinese literature and art for nearly a hundred year.Since May Fourth Movement, Marxism theory of literature and art has been spread and developed gradually into Mao Zedong's thought with Chinese characteristics and has then been carried on and developed at different periods of history. It is worthwhile to make a careful study of Mao Zedong's and Deng Xiaoping's and Jiang Zemin's thoughts about the theory of literature and art and Hu Jintao's theory of the construction of harmonious culture because these valuable thoughts can help Chinese people to sharpen their thoughts, advance with the times and carry forward the tradition and forge ahead into the future. Mao's thought is Marxist theory of literature and art about how to create literature and art in the period of Chinese people's liberation and struggles for freedom and Deng's thought is about how to do it in the period of Chinese people's reform and open-up while Jiang's thought and Hu's theory are about how to do it when Chinese people move toward the advanced culture and the harmonious culture.In order to keep to Marxist theory of literature and art, it is necessary to develop it in accordance with the requirements of modern society. In the new historical context of constructing harmonious society, it is important to properly handle the relationship between literature and art and politics and make them in perfect tune with each other; It is also of vital significance to keep to the socialist core value system and the orientation of advanced culture and correctly implement the Party's policies on literature and art and promote the prosperity and development of Chinese literature and art.
