To open up a new world of creation with innovation

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his 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, "I hope that the vast number of literary and art workers will adhere to the principle of integrity and innovation, and use the fine works that keep up with the times to open up a new realm of literature and art." Innovation is the life of literature and art, the general secretary quoted the Shaanxi writer Liu Qing in his speech: "A writer, when he completely got rid of imitation, he began to become a real writer", "Every era of literature, there are new ways to write."

Studying General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech, the vast number of literary workers should deeply understand and actively practice. In particular, as Shaanxi writers and as members of the "Literary Shaanxi Army," they should inherit the literary tradition of the Red Revolution that came from the Yanhe River, carry forward the fine work style of Shaanxi writers who are close to the times and into the people, actively devote themselves to the new fiery reform and development practice, and create updated works and expand the new world of creation with renewed ideological understanding, updated literary and ink brushstrokes, updated content plots, and updated writing techniques.

A deeper understanding of the times. Innovation is about new things. We are in a great era, facing the world's unprecedented changes in a century, with changes and innovations changing with each passing day, and new situations and situations emerging in an endless stream. Chinese people are already at the forefront of innovation in the world, contributing great strength to the development and progress of mankind, and also providing an incomparably rich new experience and new achievements. Only when we enter the turbulent new era, touch the new pulse of the times, and perceive the new changes of the times can we better understand this great era, this era of profound changes and full of creative vitality. As the recorders and writers of the times, the majority of writers must continue to learn, discover, and understand in the new era, so as to keep up with the new era, feel the new practice, understand the new changes, and grasp the new situation. Only when we have a full understanding of the new era, new changes, and new situations can we grasp the pulse of the times, feel the rhythm of the times, and then have new interpretations and new depictions in the creation, and can we give birth to novel works full of vividness and sense of scene.

Be more consciously close to the people. Innovation should know people. Literature is anthropology, and only by reflecting the people in the work can it support the skeleton of the work and the composition of the plump work. If we want to truly and better reflect the people and write for the people, we must truly understand the people. To understand the people, we need to go into the people, get close to the people, and integrate into the people; we must always understand the people's new ideological changes, spiritual pursuits, and needs, keep up with the new changes of the people, and understand the people who are constantly progressing and developing. Only by truly understanding the people's ideological changes, spiritual pursuits and rich feelings can we depict real and new characters and stories, and can we make works stand up in the new era. Liu Qing has been in the countryside of Chang'an for fourteen years, and from the formal point of view, he has been deeply involved in life, but in essence it is already a kind of thorough integration, and he does not adopt formalistic bystanders, but really becomes a member of the village. Fourteen years of thorough integration has enabled him to be truly and realistically, and to understand rural life and perceive the changes of farmers in real and timely, so as to obtain complete first-hand and incomparably fresh writing materials. To some extent, he has turned himself into "them", naturally rejoicing and mourning for them, full of emotion and affection for them to paint, establish, and advocate for them. The most valuable thing about this is to truly integrate into the people, not only the superficial life is fully integrated, but also the complete fit of the soul. The significance of another level is that he can feel the survival and living conditions of farmers all the time, and his own thinking and thinking are also synchronized with the state of farmers in agriculture and rural areas. This kind of in-depth closeness and timeliness of life is an important law for understanding life, familiarizing with life, depicting new life, and recording new changes. When Lu Yao created "Ordinary World", he once went deep into the coal mine, worked with the miners, and fully integrated himself into the workers. And the workers also regard Lu Yao as a close worker, so that they can open their hearts, be honest and honest, and face the communication. When Chen Zhongzhong created "White Deer Plain", he completely returned to the ancestral house and lived and worked with the villagers, and in addition to his busy writing, he also actively participated in matters such as marriage and funeral in the village, and made a contribution to the lives of the villagers. And the villagers also regarded this great writer who had become famous as a township party to live together, and did not feel any difference or estrangement. This form of in-depth life and close to the people, the harvest is not only a vivid writing material, but also a more profound way to feel the people's joys and sorrows at all times, the first time to feel the people's ideological changes and living conditions, so as to reflect the first state in the writing, put an end to the feeling of sloppy flowers, and embark on a peak in the depth and novelty of creation. Therefore, the vast number of writers should take their predecessors as an example and truly understand the people, and only by "knowing people" can they better describe and create.

Sharpen your writing skills. Innovation should be clever. Innovation is a kind of creative practice behavior of people, which is the activity of people to use known information and conditions to break through conventions and discover or produce some new and unique valuable new things and new ideas in order to develop their needs. The essence of innovation is a breakthrough, that is, a breakthrough in the old mindset, the old conventional precepts. The core of innovative activities is "new", traditional literature and art are very particular about innovation, and almost every important historical node has important literary and artistic creations. "The fortunes of the times have changed, the quality of the text has changed", "the song and the literary theory, and the passage of the world", so it is necessary to "look forward to the present and make strange, refer to the ancient law". Literary works are the writer's aesthetic reflection of the social life of a certain era, and whenever social life develops to a new stage, it provides literature with new social content and new objects of expression, and also promotes the evolution of literary forms. The literature of every era should be innovated and created. In the development of literature, inheritance and innovation should be dialectically unified. The innovation of form is a must, embodied in literary creation, innovation needs confidence, ability, and wisdom. Without a certain degree of knowledge, without skilled writing skills, innovation cannot be discussed. Therefore, the majority of writers should devote themselves to learning, rich learning, improve their skills, and innovate. It is necessary to continuously enhance our comprehensive knowledge cultivation and lay the foundation for innovation under the premise of more knowledge and early knowledge. It is necessary to humbly learn the creative skills of the predecessors and traditions, combine their own creative characteristics, create their own creative characteristics, and improve their own creative ability. It is necessary to constantly become familiar with new information technologies, new forms of expression and dissemination, learn to use new technologies and new techniques, use new means and new forms, and so on, and blaze a new trail in creation.

The vast number of writers should actively abide by the principle of innovation, constantly introduce new works, and achieve new achievements. As a bridge between the party and writers and a writers' association that serves the creation of the vast number of writers, it is also necessary to constantly reform and innovate, and have new measures to guide, contact, and serve the creative innovation of writers.

Strengthen political guidance and lay a solid foundation for the literary world to abide by the correct and innovative ideas. It is necessary to conscientiously organize the majority of writers to deeply study General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, deeply understand and comprehend it, and actively implement it. It is necessary to unify the thinking of the vast number of writers with the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping, consciously enhance cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, improve political and ideological awareness, and firmly establish the guiding ideology and fundamental pursuit of literary creation. It is necessary to profoundly study the major policies and strategies of the party and the state in governing the country, deeply study the glorious traditions and glorious history of red literature, revolutionary literature, and traditional literature, enhance the cultivation of traditional national literature and revolutionary red literature, and actively shape the spiritual guidance of creators. In the course of study, it is necessary to enhance ideological understanding, constantly purify the soul, and establish a fundamental guideline for the people to create for the times. It is necessary to profoundly promote the building of professional ethics among literary workers, correct the ideological cultivation of literary workers with the way of being a man and the virtue of literature, continuously enhance the ideological consciousness of serving the people and dedicating to the times, and firmly establish the ideological direction of positive creation. It is necessary to let the vast number of writers deeply rooted in the earth, deeply rooted in life, deeply love the people, and then write the times with affection and praise the people with deep affection.

Scientifically plan various literary activities and build a creative exchange platform for the vast number of literary workers. Literary activities such as literary exchanges, seminars, lectures, and forums are an important starting point for writers' associations to promote writers' creation, strengthen writers' exchanges, and improve the level of writers. It is necessary to make all kinds of activities colorful and lively, which can not only play a leading role but also be popular with the vast number of writers. Among them, it is necessary to focus on the theme support creation, the selection of life writers at fixed points, and literary public welfare activities, etc., and the theme creation should adhere to the correct orientation, innovation and truth-seeking. Fixed points to go deep into life should choose punctuality, party people, often supervise, see the effect. Literary public welfare activities should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of writers and enhance their pertinence, and cultivate literary talents and create a literary atmosphere through public welfare lectures. Through the above forms, we should continuously promote the majority of writers to climb new heights in creation and launch new works of the times.

Constantly explore new models and build new positions. Literary organizations at all levels have accumulated rich experience in promoting literary creation, and they should continue to carry it forward. At the same time, we must focus on innovation and vigorously explore new paths and new methods to promote literary creation. It is necessary to further build a platform for literary exchanges and exhibitions and build a position for literary creation and innovation. It is necessary to further strengthen and improve the work of literary criticism, establish a pool of literary criticism experts and a team of online literary critics, and stabilize the direction and pulse for literary creation and innovation. We must always pay attention to the development and changes of the literary team, pay attention to the thoughts, creations and lives of writers, help writers solve problems, and create better conditions and environments for creation and innovation. It is necessary to pay close attention to literary works that have aroused widespread concern, control the new trend of literary creation, support and cheer for literary innovation, and let innovation have less shackles and more encouragement.

Strengthen the self-construction of the Writers' Association. Writers' associations at all levels are the bridge and link between the party and writers, the family members who guide, coordinate, and serve the creation of writers, and they have great responsibilities and arduous tasks in promoting literary innovation, and they must earnestly strengthen their own construction, including organizational construction, sound mechanisms, updating means, and improving capabilities. It is necessary to promote literary creation and innovation with its own high quality, new ideas, and new deeds. It is necessary to strictly implement the comprehensive and strict management of the party and ideological responsibility, constantly enhance our own ideological consciousness and political accomplishment, and fundamentally grasp the political direction of literary creation. Build the Writers Association into a stronger and more effective promoter of literary creation and innovation, and make due new contributions to promoting the great prosperity of literature.
