From the Literary and Art Work Forum on October 15, 2014, to the 10th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Ninth National Congress of the China Writers Association on November 30, 2016, to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 18, 2017, and then to the 11th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a series of important speeches on cultural development and literary and artistic creation in the new era, from "serving the people and serving socialism", "a hundred flowers blooming, a hundred schools of thought contending" to "creative transformation, innovative development". The formation of a complete system of contemporary literary and art theory is the enrichment and development of Marxist literary and art theory in the new era.

The general secretary's theoretical exposition of cultural development and literary and artistic creation in the new era is not a microscopic requirement of one move and one style, one board and one glance, but a transformation idea based on the overall development advocated by the new era, with a lofty vision and a grand ambition, establishing a big historical view, a big era view, and a big performing arts concept, and promoting the creation of a new literary and artistic atmosphere of an era. The general secretary quoted the writer Liu Qing as saying, "Every era of literature has a new way of writing. "From Chu Ci to Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing legends, and then to vernacular, each era has created a culture that represents the characteristics of that era. We are in a big era of transformation in a hundred years, and our literary and artistic creations and literary and artistic works should also have the characteristics of the new era. With the practical experience of the script and dance drama "Crested Ibis", "The Electric Wave That Never Disappears", and "The Source of the Great River" that I have created in recent years, the revolutionary historical theme opera modern opera Peking Opera "Changing People", the Huai opera "Han Mei", the Yang opera "A Lian Crossing the River", the historical theme drama "Lanling Wang", the Huai opera "Mr. WuXun", and the Kun opera "National Style", the reason why these stage art works have received universal attention and welcome is precisely because they have absorbed the nutrition of traditional Chinese culture, the world's excellent culture and revolutionary ideal culture, and practiced the concept of great history and the great era The concept of great performing arts is the "new way of writing" script creation in this era.

Looking back at the development of Chinese stage art in the 1000th century, the single pursuit of "theater", "standardization" and "standardization" has made the traditional Chinese performing arts with different styles and diverse styles more and more imprisoned in the theater theater of the frame stage, and it is more and more difficult to attract contemporary audiences with young people as the main body. In the new century, new era, new pursuit, and the creation and performance of contemporary stage art should be gradually liberated from a single frame stage traditional theater under the premise of striving to practice the literary and artistic ideas of "creative transformation and innovative development", and enter the performing arts space including the grand theater, the small theater, the immersive, the square, the courtyard, the real scene, etc., as well as the online performance, virtual performance and so on in the all-media era. In today's integration of culture and tourism, it is especially necessary to explore the creation and performance of "cultural tourism dramas" with regional style, national customs and characteristics of the times, and enter a new era of performing arts.

This year marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China. "Dapeng rose with the same wind one day and soared up to ninety thousand miles." In his speech, the general secretary quoted a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, sending a message to literary and art workers in the new era to make unremitting efforts to improve themselves, show the new atmosphere of Chinese literature and art, and create a new glory of Chinese culture. I once spent more than half a year, from Sichuan Jiangyou to Anhui Dangtu, traveling through Li Bai's life course. Li Bai's positive and enterprising, optimistic, singing and walking life posture and the pioneering and innovative spirit of his poetry creation are exactly what is needed for literary and artistic creation in the new era. Only by not forgetting their original intentions, keeping their mission firmly in mind, and living up to the times and the people can contemporary writers and artists make greater contributions to the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
