On The Literary Mode Of Production In The Primary Stage Of Socialism

The Chinese literary and art theorists such as DongXuewen, He Guorui,Wang Yuanxiang, Qian Zhongwen etc, have made a thorough study on thecharacteristics and content of Chinese literature and art under a given condition-- the primary stage of socialism, the law of its creation and thedeveloping orientation in the future. All of these are named "the theoryof literary mode of production in the primary stage of socialism " . According to Marxism theory of the ideology of aesthetics, "the theoryof literary mode of production in the primary stage of socialism " areconsisted of three aspects: The first is that socialist literature and artmaintain and promote socialist economy.
