A Study On The Folk Songs Of Urban People’s Communes From The Perspective Of Political Mobilization

Culture is an important foundation for the survival and development of a nation,and the cause of literature and art is an important cause for the country and the people.In the 1950 s,under the influence of the "great leap forward" movement,the literary and art front also launched a new folk song movement with "color and sound" in all parts of the country.In the same context of the great leap forward,the movement of urban people’s communization inevitably became an important theme of the folk song movement.These folk songs depicting the urban people’s commune,like other literary works of that period,are new ideas for the construction of new Chinese culture.They are intended to depict the spiritual features of the masses in the new period,improve their political participation and stimulate their enthusiasm for the "great leap forward" movement,but they are more embodied as means of political mobilization in the specific implementation process.The "great leap forward" movement was the theme of that era.The movement of urban people’s Commune and the movement of folk songs were its products,so a large number of folk songs and ballads related to urban people’s commune were produced.The main body of the folk songs of the urban people’s commune is the working class,which represents the voice of the working class.The main contents of its works are: praising the party and leaders,praising the people’s commune,praising the heroic model workers,praising the collective life,praising the social run factories,praising the liberation of women,etc.Influenced by the times and the special historical environment at that time,the text of urban people ’s commune folk song has its artistry and diversity,but its political nature is far more than its artistry.The process of creation and communication of the working people with the city people’s commune as the main body embodies the characteristics of collectivity.The artistry of the folk songs of the urban people’s commune has been greatly weakened,while the characteristics of political instrumentalization have become more prominent,which has essentially become a tool for extensive political mobilization.The folk songs of the urban people’s commune can restore the real and rich situation of the urban people’s Commune and show the people’s spiritual state at that time.The folk songs of the urban people’s commune played a full role in the political propaganda and mobilization in the movement of the urban people’s commune,which encouraged the morale and improved the social atmosphere,but had a negative impact on the healthy development of culture,and at the same time,promoted and enlarged the bad atmosphere in the political discourse.Weshould understand and evaluate the folk songs of urban people’s communes objectively and impartially,summarize the experience and lessons,and learn from the correct handling of the relationship between politics and culture,the development of cultural undertakings,and the ideological work.
