On April 24, the inauguration ceremony of Zheshang Dajin Harvest Writing Center and the 2023 "Harvest" Literature List Ceremony were held. More than 20 well-known domestic writers and critics, including Jia Pingwa, A Lai, Ge Fei, Bi Feiyu and Xu Yigua, gathered at Zhejiang Gongshang University to talk about literature. At the same time, they were hired as members of the advisory board of the "Golden Harvest" Writing Center.
Yu Jianxing, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhejiang Gongshang University, said that in the process of cultivating talents in colleges and universities, science and art should climb hand in hand from the beginning and stand at the top together. In today's society, literature and art are by no means luxuries, but necessities, and improving literary and artistic literacy is essential to achieve the all-round development of students. He expects that the Golden Harvest Writing Center can receive extensive support from the creative and literary criticism circles, promote the cultivation of reading, thinking, argumentation, debate and writing skills, and help teachers and students have a more open mind, a more mature mind, sharper thinking and more free expression, so as to become a new highlight of the school's cultural construction and a new highland for talent training, and promote the prosperity and development of Zhejiang's literary industry.
Under the influence of new media and artificial intelligence, how can colleges and universities stimulate students' interest in literature, cultivate their writing ability and creative awareness, and shape their humanistic spirit and literary character?
Writing carries thoughts and emotions. Creativity inspires inspiration and imagination. Cheng Yongxin, director of the "Golden Harvest" writing center, editor-in-chief of the magazine "Harvest" and librarian of the Shanghai Museum of Culture and History, believes that by forming a high-level teaching and research team, building a writing teaching system, and building a general writing course for the whole school, students can comprehensively improve their writing ability and level. At the same time, he proposed to open the "Creative Writing Experimental Class", launch excellent works, strengthen the creation of literary atmosphere, promote literary education, cultivate students with literary literacy, and help Zhejiang Gongshang University become a literary landmark university.
Yu Jianxing told reporters that members of the advisory committee of the "Golden Harvest" Writing Center and other famous experts will be stationed at the school from time to time to give lectures. At the university, students can take a certain number of lectures and receive credits.
