The Trend Of Thought Of "Pan-labor" And The Construction Of "May Fourth" New Literature

During the "May Fourth" period,the trend of "pan-laborism" with its unique labor concepts and reform ideas set off a wave of discussion in the society,which not only boosted the ideological development and social practice of modern China,but also influenced the construction of the "May Fourth" new literature,which is the secret key to solve the mystery of the occurrence and development of new literature.The trend of "pan-laborism" originated from the international labor movement in the middle and late 19 th century,which gave birth to the class consciousness of labor,formed the concept of alienation of labor,triggered Tolstoy’s affirmation of the nature of labor and the promotion of labor value,and was further explained and developed in the "May Fourth" social reform movement,which was generalized in the slogan "sacred labor".The New Village movement initiated by Zhou Zuoren was further developed and integrated into the theory and practice of work-study mutual aid group.The resulting "May Fourth" and "Pan-labor" view believes that labor is the obligation of human beings.It carefully sorts out the four types of human labor,affirms the idea that work is designed to be good,and promotes the establishment of correct labor ethics.With the gradual prominence of the value of labor,the new writers constructed the theory of new literature,and believed that literature was an indispensable form of human labor.They regarded literary activities as as important work as labor activities.At the same time,they also affirmed the sacred identity of writers as laborers,and believed that literature,as labor,had the function of transforming people’s hearts and uniting the common emotions of human beings.On this basis,labor has become an important theme in the new literature of the May Fourth Movement.The new writers write about the workers as "new people".By describing the natural and authentic working life,they affirm the infinite and sacred working behavior,and find out the brilliance of the human nature of the workers,and show the truth,goodness and beauty of the working group.At the same time,the new writers recognized that the "philosophy of love" is the basis of human love.They lowered their eyes and penetrated their works into the suffering life of laborers,connecting the social reality of China with the fate of human beings,and advocating that labor behavior can break the mental barriers between people and establish reasonable and legitimate interpersonal relations.Furthermore,it explores the "love of the same kind" retained by laborers and promotes the union of laborers,and finally establishes the important literary proposition that labor transforms life.The trend of "pan-laborism" not only permeates the new writers’ attitude towards solving social problems and promoting social transformation,promotes and establishes new labor ethics,and seeks for the path of transformation suitable for China,but also influences the new writers’ recognition and writing of the labor theme,and carries out new literary practice in observing the working groups and their lives.New writers are encouraged to think about the unique characteristics of the May Fourth new literature.
