Comment on the meaning of the second half of the sentence "Art comes from life, higher than life" in reality

The phrase "art comes from life and is higher than life" was originally the view of artistic creation put forward by Chernyshevsky in the book "The Aesthetic Relationship of Art to Reality".

Maybe it was a question of the Russian level of the person who translated the sentence at that time, or maybe it was ,,,

The most accurate translation should be "art comes from life, condensed in life". That is to say, art is the summary refinement and crystallization of life, and art is also a part of life.

This sentence is regarded by many people as a guideline and hyped up.

Idle, combined with the current social reality, suddenly understood why these people would hype this sentence.

Life refers to the ordinary life of the Chinese people. Art refers to forms of expression that reflect reality.

These people trumpet the inner subtext of this saying: the status of artists is higher than that of ordinary people.

Let's look at a lot of so-called artists now, high above, security guards around the road, residences and villas, food is top food...

The common people have become the object of their cutting leeks.

In May 1942, Chairman Mao Zedong's speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art clearly raised the question of who our literature and art are and how to serve them. The common people are the main body of literary and artistic performance and service.

Therefore, art is not higher than life, and the status of artists is not higher than that of ordinary people.
