Let the concept of history and the concept of the times illuminate the way forward for literary and artistic creation

The view of history and the view of the times are related to the pattern and the realm, which determine where literature and art go and how far they can go. If the era is compared to a fast train that runs endlessly, history is the deep rut it leaves behind. Rooted in history, learning from history, and continuing history, literature and art can shine their own creations in the spread of national spiritual blood; Only by keeping up with the times, integrating into the times, and reflecting the times can literature and art leave their own imprints in the grand picture of human civilization.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the 11th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 10th Opening Ceremony of the China Writers Association called on the majority of literary and artistic workers: "We must establish a great view of history and the times, see thousands of rivers and rivers, raise millions of soldiers, grasp the historical process and the general trend of the times, reflect the great changes of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, reveal the right path of China in the past century, carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, carry forward the great spirit of party building, and sing the high-spirited theme of the times." This requires literary and artistic workers to uphold the concept of history and the times, to care about the spiritual aspirations and spiritual pursuits of the people, and to transform the breadth of the times, the thickness of history, and the temperature of human nature into the depth of thought, the height of spirit, and the aesthetic bearing in accordance with the laws of art.
The key to the "greatness" of the grand view of history lies in grasping the continuity and integrity of historical development with a broad vision and broad mind, experiencing the pulse of history from the evolution of the economic and social structure over a long period of time, exploring the laws of history from the dialectical relationship between heaven and man, time and potential, and scientifically answering the questions of history, reality, and the future. At present, the wheel of history is rolling forward along the road of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Literary and artistic workers in the new era should uphold the grand historical outlook, profoundly grasp the outstanding continuity, outstanding innovation, outstanding unity, outstanding inclusiveness, and outstanding peacefulness of Chinese civilization, temper their minds in the long river of history, cultivate their literary hearts in the new casting of civilization, integrate cultural self-confidence into the spiritual temperament and cultural character of the whole nation through excellent works, and enhance the backbone and confidence of being Chinese.
"Looking at the present should learn from the past, and the past is not the present." The concept of the great era is the logical necessity and present development of the concept of great history, and its key lies in thinking for thousands of years, seeing through thousands of miles, grasping the mainstream, and looking at the overall situation. Looking through the colorful pictures of history, the works that most profoundly reflect the times are most likely to have an impact that transcends the times. The spirit of the times is always nurtured in the blood of history and culture, and bursts out in the ups and downs of the times. Today, the changes of the world, the times, and history are blended and intertwined, and the trend of "rising in the east and falling in the west" is constantly evolving, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change. Contemporary China is experiencing a great leap from being backward and keeping up with the times to leading the times, and is creating a brighter future for itself and all mankind in the midst of new tests and challenges. The historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become irreversible, and cultural creations belonging to this era will inevitably emerge one after another. Literary and artistic workers in the new era should uphold the concept of the times, deeply grasp the theme of the times of national rejuvenation, respond to the sonorous sound of the times with excellence in creation, portray the charming style of the new people of the times, write a progressive picture of the trend of the times, and inspire the people of all ethnic groups across the country to march towards the future with vigor and vigor.
Throughout the ages, literary and artistic classics have undertaken the solemn mission of historical writers and participants, and have inspired people's national pride and self-confidence with their deep historical awareness and unique artistic creation. The continent's million-year human history, 10,000-year cultural history, and 5,000-year-old civilization history have provided infinite nourishment and imagination for literature and art. Standing at a new historical starting point, literature and art in the new era must sense the changes in the fortunes of the country, follow the right path of history, establish the tide of the times, consciously undertake a new cultural mission, and with more arduous efforts, more confident creation, and more fruitful results, carry forward the industry and cultivate the yuan, forge the soul with heart, and inject strong spiritual strength into the continuous progress of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.
