In the end, based on diachronic analysis research results on Yan’an literature "transformation", the present dissertation finds the academic field where needs more research and puts forward new research ideas and methods.The main part can be divided into five chapters:the first chapter:the establishment of "transformation" discourse; the chapters two to four is the object of the transformation, the individual, collective and folk; the fifth chapter is the literature landscape after the transformation. The specific operation is as follows:The first chapter mainly discusses the process of the establishment of "transformation" discourse of Yan’an literature. As a foreign culture, the representative of the political culture represented by the Communist Party intends to have a foothold in Yan’an, therefore the local culture must be reformed and gathered. The war needs the participation of intellectual, and the difference of intellectual policy between Zhang Wentian and Mao Zedong reflects their competition for power. Transformation of Yan’an literature and society is based on the "transformation" discourse of the politicians and writers’"transformation" discourse type.Chapter Two focuses on the agglomerate of political culture in the reality of the individual as well as individual image in the text circumstances of, the mentality of intellectual is changeed, the impure and the prisoners are exploited by war, the children are given revolutionary consciousness, peasant takes on a new look, the loafers became unity target of war, women go out to make contribution to the army, the value of the individual is reconsidered, and the individual independence is cancelled.The third chapter analyses the collective consciousness affected by the political and cultural influence, which selects and sort out the family, and community, the cadre as narrator, the local school, the moral people, literary media and so on, and study how they, a social intermediate power, get rid of loose state, the growth process of the newfashioned collective consciousness, and analyses how they are assigned new collective image.The fourth chapter analyzes the form of folk culture in the period of Yan’an society, folk artists are incorporated by political power and become the disseminators of political culture, the Communist Party used folk legend to mobilize the people, the previous folklore was substituted for the present folk revolutionary story to communicate the experience and memory of history, and establishes a revolution religion, against the background of the "national form", folk art form is given full attention, Yangko opera, street poetry, poetry recitation becomes propaganda weapons, popular carnival strengthened political consciousness in the Yangko Opera, private folk daily life was cancelled, important festivals and folk become a good time for political culture promotion.The fifth chapter elaborates the icon of Yan’an literature after the political and cultural transformation, the first is, in comparison with Sun Li, to study the pursuit of individuality and social background of "Zhao Shuli Direction". What Yan’an literature created is labor hero as the mainstream image, rather than the individual hero image in Xiao Jun’s works. With the concentration of power, it appears a writing tide on Mao Zedong Charisma leader image. Due to extensive participation of soldiers and civilians, there appears the isomorphism in literary works.The conclusion dialectically talks about the literary transformation and social reform which were intervened by the Communist Party political culture in Yan’an period. On the one hand, it stimulates the enthusiasm of soldiers and civilians to participate in the war, which is of great importance to the modern nation-state building. On the other hand, we also should see the intellectuals are the victims in the process of transformation, and we need to rethink this wartime literature idea. Yan’an literature The transformation movement in the Yan’an period provides reflective experience on how to rebuild a more reasonable society, in which personal, social and national independence should be maintained on a dynamic balance of the three.To sum up,"transformation" is the core discourse in the Yan’an period. Through transformation of literature and literary in the transformation of society, politicians propagate the political culture of the Communist Party and reach a political utilitarian purpose. We should reflect on the war literature under the literal and social development model and replace utilitarianism with reason, which should be idea of the development of a normal social.
