Achieve the value of life in the pursuit of virtue and art

"The vast number of literary and art workers should unify their personal moral cultivation, social image, and the social effects of their works, adhere to artistic ideals, pursue both virtue and art, and strive to preserve righteousness for history, promote virtue for the people of the world, and leave a clear name for themselves with noble ethics and works of both literary quality and beauty." In his important speech at the opening ceremony of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association, General Secretary Xi Jinping hoped that the vast number of literary and art workers would adhere to the right path and achieve the value of life in the pursuit of virtue and art.

Literature and art bear the responsibility of becoming a weathered person. He who cultivates virtue must first establish himself; he who casts the soul bacon must first cast himself. Those classics that have endured in the long river of history have embodied the continuity of literary artists and artists with their hearts and knowledge, the fusion of morality and talent, and the unity of character and art. As the saying goes, "For those who use the world, a hundred articles are harmless; if they are not used, one chapter is useless."

Great literature and art show great souls, and great literature and art come from great souls. Literary and artistic creation is arduous creative work. Cultivating a superb artistic level is not an overnight achievement, but requires concentration, hard work, and long-term achievement. If you only want to take shortcuts, seek speed, chase after false names, fantasize about becoming famous overnight, and chase overnight riches, in the end, you can only pass the clouds. The vast number of literary and art workers must have a reverence for art and a heart of absolute sincerity for their professions, and devote themselves to real efforts, practice their true skills, and seek truth and fame.

"If you are high, you will be pure, if you are ambitious, you will be wise, and if you are ambitious, you will be eternal." The literary and artistic world is a place where ideas are active and where creativity is abundant. Literature and art must be popular, but they must not be vulgar, vulgar, or kitsch. Literature and art must live, but they must not become the makers, followers, and advocates of unhealthy trends. Literature and art must be innovative, but we must not engage in strange and absurd things. Literature and art must be effective, but they must not be contaminated with the smell of copper and become slaves to the market. Creation depends on painstaking efforts, performance depends on strength, image depends on shaping, efficiency depends on quality, and reputation depends on virtue. Low-style funny, bottomless indulgence, eye-catching entertainment, endless desire, there are hundreds of harms to literature and art without any benefit!

The self-cultivation of literary and art workers is not only a personal private matter, but also the quality of literary and artistic practices will affect the entire cultural field and even the ecology of social life. Writers and artists have social influence, and every move will have an impact on society. We must cherish our own social impact and seriously consider the social effects of our works. If a literary and art worker misbehaves, the people will not accept it, and the times will not accept it! Without self-respect, there is no respect!

"If you have extraordinary merits, you will treat extraordinary people." People are the most critical factor. The broad masses of literary and art workers should stress taste, style, and responsibility, consciously abide by the law, follow public order and good customs, consciously resist money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism, and behave in an upright and upright manner and do things in a clean and innocent manner. It is necessary to have the spirit of "horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers, bowing down to the cows of the widows", singing praises of truth, goodness and beauty, and needles to fake evil and ugliness. For positive energy, we must dare to write and dare to sing, be righteous and strong, and be bright. We must dare to be angry and dare to criticize ugly things, and our righteousness is awe-inspiring and unyielding. It is necessary to carry forward the style and virtue of conduct, establish a good social image of the literary and art circles, and create an industry atmosphere of self-respect and self-love, mutual learning and mutual learning, and a clear atmosphere.

"The country and the mountains have left a trace of victory, and my generation has come back." Listen to the party, follow the party, abide by the right path, take the avenue, innovate more, and produce fine works, so that contemporary Chinese writers and artists can rush out like a spring, and the sky of Chinese literature and art will be more brilliant.
