The literature and art of the times must be based on mainstream values

"People with culture can condense their hearts more; with art, it is easier to communicate with the world" "Those who cultivate morality must first establish themselves; those who cast the soul Bacon must first cast themselves"... In recent days, General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches at the opening ceremonies of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Literary Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association have aroused warm repercussions. Yin Yin's entrustment and affectionate expectations have deeply encouraged the vast number of literary and art workers and pointed out the direction for literary and artistic work in the new era.

Literary changes are stained with the world, and the rise and fall of the world is related to the chronology. Literature and art are the mirrors of the times, recording the changes in the home country and reflecting the hearts of the people in the world. Historically, each era will give birth to its own representative works, and a good work will not only have a strong impetus for social development, but also have a subtle impact on the life choices of a generation. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "March of the Volunteer Army" and "On the Songhua River" sang the sorrow and indignation of the mountains and rivers stained with blood and the destruction of the country and the death of the family, awakening the soul of the nation; during the construction period, "History of Entrepreneurship" and "I Offer Oil for the Motherland" expressed the voice of self-reliance and hard struggle, and inspired the enterprising spirit; in the wave of reform and opening up, "The Story of Spring" and "Ordinary World" recorded the hope of the wind and clouds and the tide surging in the east, and encouraged the enthusiasm of seeking from top to bottom... Line by line, picture by picture, and melody cultivates the spiritual homeland of generations of Chinese people, and stimulates the majestic force of promoting national development and national rejuvenation.

As the writer Liang Xiaosheng said, people should have two hometowns, one is the hometown of reality geography, and the other is the spiritual hometown. Helping more people find a spiritual habitat is the responsibility of the times shouldered by literary and art workers. Looking at today, the tide is rising, the wind and clouds are meeting, literary and artistic creation is unprecedentedly prosperous, and literary and artistic works are vast. But it goes without saying that while the public feels overwhelmed, they often have a sense of not "quenching thirst". The number is high, but the fine products are still lacking, and the prosperity and liveliness lack of precipitation are the objective reality of literary and artistic creation in the past period. The main reason is that some people regard attracting attention and pulling traffic as the whole essence of creation, and are full of illusions, historical jokes, and rotten feelings, although they look full of flowers, but they cannot withstand serious scrutiny, let alone stand the test of time, let alone value leadership and abundant spirit.

What kind of literary and artistic works can be spread, stand and retained? In short, there should be bones, morality, and temperature, carrying the mainstream values of an era. Today's China is in an era of vigorous rise and national rejuvenation, the people's self-confidence is becoming firmer, and the identity of the homeland is becoming more and more profound. Especially in recent years, in the comparison between the past and the present in the past and the present of the centenary of the founding of the party, we have better understood that a happy life is precious; in the decisive victory of the decisive battle against poverty, we have witnessed the original mission of a political party; in the fight against the epidemic, we have seen the people-oriented feelings of a country... Looking back at history and understanding reality, the Chinese people have a deeper and deeper understanding of their own roads, theories, systems and cultures, and "I love my country" has become a simple voice. Such a temperament of the times should be engraved in literary and artistic creation, and should become a distinctive feature of contemporary literary and artistic works.

In the final analysis, literary and artistic works should serve the construction of the Chinese spirit, Chinese values, and Chinese strength. Once upon a time, there were always people who said that the main melody of the work was high and low, which was essentially because the creation was stuck in a trap. Hou Hongliang, producer of "Big Rivers and Great Rivers", once told an interesting story, "Before watching the director's rough cut film at home, my 20-year-old son had a question, 'Is anyone watching the scene you are shooting?'" ’。 But when he turned around the living room a few more times and glanced at it inadvertently, he slowly finished watching the play with me. "Look at recent years, "The Age of Awakening", "Fragrant Mountain Leaves are Red", which reproduce the Zhengrong years, "Mountains and Seas" and "We Are the First Secretary" that focus on the fields, the dance drama "The Eternal Electric Wave" that portrays vivid characters, and the drama "Gu Wenchang"... Whether it is the big story of the little people or the small story of the big people, these works have won the double harvest of word of mouth and popularity. Facts have proved that although different generations have different styles, and although there is a generation gap between different generations, some spiritual traits can always travel through time and space, and mainstream values can always touch people's hearts. With respect for the people and the times, full of enthusiasm for the development and construction of the country, and a deep understanding of the beauty of human nature, all subjects can "sing" the "main theme" with taste and market.

"When high-rise buildings are everywhere in our country, the edifice of the Chinese national spirit should also stand tall." Today's Chinese are not only "organized", but also spiritually upright and condensed together, and literary and artistic creation is ushering in a golden age. The vast number of literary and art workers should constantly expand the themes, contents, forms, and techniques of creation, so that the works are closer to life and fascinating. Especially at present, young people have become the main force of inheriting culture, they have a unique experience of new life, and they are more called for fashionable expression. Fight back against Western narratives in the animated short film "Virus Past"; listen to the rhythm of development in "Super-burning Rap" "145 @ 140 Million"; taste the national classics in the Forbidden City, Dunhuang and other national tide IP... With more "youthful" creative expressions, mainstream values can better "break the circle" and spread.

"Slow work can only produce small work." "The standard for measuring literary and artistic workers is the work." From the voices of many literary and art workers, we can see the rational return of the entire industry. Adhering to the belief of portraits of the times, for the times, and for the times, contemporary literature and art will leave a strong mark in the long river of history, and will certainly live up to the gifts of the times and accumulate more positive energy for the future development of China.
