In view of the undesirable phenomena such as the "rice circle" cultural chaos that has appeared in the literary and art circles and the entertainment industry for a period of time, such as the "traffic theory" prevailing, and the "image of the mother cannon" being noisy for a while, as well as the negative impact and bad consequences brought to the cultural and entertainment ecology of the whole society by artists who deviate from public order and good customs, violate professional ethics, and violate laws and regulations, the forum advocated that literary and art workers adhere to the original intention of art, pursue both virtue and art, resolutely resist unhealthy trends, and strive to create a clean and healthy environment.
The relevant responsible comrades of the local Department of Culture and Tourism (Bureau), the art units directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the China Performance Industry Association, and the representatives of artists spoke at the symposium, analyzing the current problems in the cultural field and the entertainment industry, and putting forward opinions and suggestions on strengthening the education management and moral construction of literary and art workers. The following is an excerpt from the relevant statements.
Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism
Chen Dong, secretary of the party group and director of the bureau
At present, the phenomena of violating laws and regulations and losing morality and norms in the field of literature and art have aroused great concern and strong criticism from society and the public, and have brought a negative impact on literary and artistic work. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism held a symposium on strengthening the education management and moral construction of literary and art workers at the right time and of great significance, which is not only an important measure to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's exposition on literary and artistic work, but also a major action to vigorously carry forward the new style and healthy trends, strengthen the ideological and moral construction of literary and artistic workers and industry leadership, which will certainly have a far-reaching impact on the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art and the construction of a socialist cultural power. Beijing Municipality should take the lead in conscientiously implementing the spirit of the symposium, adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, carry forward the core socialist values, forge the soul with determination, strengthen the moral construction of literary and art workers, and promote the construction of national cultural centers.
Literature and art are the projects that forge the soul, and literary and artistic workers are the engineers of the human soul. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to literary and artistic work and the construction of the literary and artistic team, and a series of important expositions and important instructions issued by General Secretary Xi Jinping have scientifically answered a series of directional, fundamental and overall major issues related to the development of literary and artistic work, providing fundamental guidelines and pointing out the direction of progress for us to do a good job.
In recent years, the vast number of literary and art workers in Beijing have conscientiously implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and important expositions on literary and artistic work, kept in mind the original mission, based on the dual cultivation of morality and art, kept the right and innovated, forged ahead, and vigorously developed literary and artistic work and achieved remarkable results. In the construction of the literary and art contingent, we should give prominence to the establishment and improvement of literary and artistic categories; in the cultivation of literary and art workers, we should highlight the dual ideals of virtue and art; in terms of artistic production, adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, strengthen the awareness of fine products, and win the Wenhua Award, the highest award in China's stage art, for three consecutive years; in the active performance market, highlight the clean and upright atmosphere, strictly examine and approve, and strengthen supervision.

Educate and guide the vast number of literary and art workers to clarify their duties and missions, always adhere to putting social benefits in the first place, consciously practice the core socialist values, emphasize taste, style, and responsibility, and achieve both morality and art. Educate and guide the vast number of literary and art workers to adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, go deep into life, take root in the people, and strive to create more excellent works that meet the needs of the people, reflect the spirit of the times, cultivate noble sentiments, and lead the lofty and upright atmosphere.

Recently, individual artists in the literary and art circles have violated the law and lost morality, the deformity of the "rice circle", the theory of only appearance, the theory of only traffic, and other phenomena have surged undercurrents, and their behavior is bad, moral degeneration, and spiritual decline. The literary and art academies directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism should take this as a warning, adopt "thunderous means" and "drums and heavy hammers", and carry out the "bright sword" action of strengthening the education management and moral construction of literary and art workers.
The literary and art academies and troupes directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism should implement the spirit of the instructions of the party group of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, give play to the guiding, representative, and exemplary role, and internalize the moral construction into the spiritual pursuit of literary and art workers and externalize it into the conscious actions of literary and art workers. Unity of knowledge and action, carry forward the traditional Chinese virtues, Chinese revolutionary morality, socialist morality, both ability and political integrity, take morality as the first, be wise and virtuous, keep public morality, and strict private morality.
Ming Dade must be loyal to the party, strengthen his absolute loyalty to the party with firm ideals and convictions, stress politics and national character, establish the feeling of family and country, and "integrate the pursuit of personal ideals into the cause of the party and the state."
To abide by public morality, it is necessary to draw traditional virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and faith from China's excellent traditional culture, stand firm on the people's stand, be selfless in heart, and pass on positive, enterprising, and upward values.
Strict private morality, we must resolutely deal with the problem of illegal and immorality, control the chaos of bad fan culture, oppose unscrupulous means for kitsch and attract attention, be cautious and cautious, be innocent and innocent, clean and clean, and have "zero tolerance" for artists who have violated the law and morality, so that positive energy can win over the big traffic.
As a literary and art academy directly under the ministry, we must accelerate the construction of a first-class domestic and internationally renowned art academy and troupe, and give full play to the leading and exemplary role of the "national team" and "vanguard". While strengthening the education, management, and moral construction of literary and art workers, we should consciously fulfill the social responsibility of "soul engineers," create outstanding literary and artistic works with true feelings and true skills, sing the main melody, write a new era, lead the social atmosphere, create a new style of civilization, influence and lead the masses of the people to take the initiative to abandon backward culture that violates public order and good customs, and love advanced socialist culture.
Here, we appeal to the literary and art academies and troupes directly under the Ministry and the vast number of literary and art workers throughout the country: We must take the people as the center, occupy the mainstream ideological and cultural position, strengthen the educational management and moral construction of literary and art workers, cherish the trust entrusted by the people, cherish the love of the audience, abide by social morality, professional ethics, family virtues, personal morality, self-discipline, self-respect, self-love, know the bottom line, cherish reverence, and tree image. Under the guidance of the idea of advocating virtue and art, adhere to professional ethics, enhance the ideological realm, stir up turbidity and promote purity, carry forward healthy trends, and return the society to a clean wind and a clean sea, "don't let people exaggerate the color, only leave the clean qi full of clean air"!

The recent industry chaos in the literary and art circles and the bad behavior of literary and art workers have attracted much public attention and public opinion. These chaotic behaviors have ruined the atmosphere of the industry, hindered the healthy development of the literary and artistic undertakings, and more importantly, seriously damaged the image of literary and art workers in the hearts of the people. As literary and art workers of the State Academy of Literature and Art, we must put morality first, self-discipline, strengthen our self-cultivation, have a reverential heart for the cause of literature and art, and have the original intention of the stage, and use excellent works to practice the mission and responsibility entrusted to us in the new era.
Under the background of cultural development in the new era, it is the party and the state that have given literary and art workers full freedom of creative space. Whether it is in front of the stage or behind the scenes, what can support literary and art workers to go on is always their own self-cultivation. The "virtue and art" advocated by literary and art workers will always be "morality" in the first place.
Literary and art workers should be wise and virtuous. In the face of the great national righteousness of the country, we must take a clear-cut and firm stand. The prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people are the strength and source of literary and artistic creation. Literary and art workers must not only interpret and imitate the role, but most importantly, achieve a high degree of consistency and unity with the characters in their thoughts and moods. In the roles I have played, Gu Wenchang's feelings of public servant who have struggled for the people all his life have been planted in my heart like a seed. This is an ideal belief, a noble spirit, and a direction that leads me forward.
Literary and art workers must have a heart of public morality. What can be done and what cannot be touched, every literary and art worker must have a clear idea in his heart and shoulder responsibility. Our words and deeds are the best image display, to accept the supervision of the public, but also in work and life to clean up self-love, appearance and consistency, take the initiative to actively spread healthy and upward positive energy, the courage to assume social responsibility.
Literary and art workers must strictly observe private morality. This is the foundation and the bottom line. To keep private morality, we must control our own hearts, do not forget our original intentions, and we must always be consistent. The stage is not Vanity Fair, and actors can't rely on gossip and gossip to win the so-called "traffic". Behind countless classic literary and artistic works, they are the crystallization of countless literary and art workers. If literary and art workers want to pursue art, they must hold high the banner of the core socialist values, embody their own cultivation, morality, and artistic views in literary and artistic works, communicate and exchange with the audience with vivid and vivid works that directly hit the heart, and take the initiative to lead the correct view of history, nationality, country, and values.
Literature and art are the projects that cast the soul, and literary and artistic workers are the engineers of the soul. As a literary and art worker in the National Academy of Literature and Art, I am well aware that I have a leading and exemplary role. Only by making unremitting efforts and dedicating a fiery heart will it be recognized by the times and the people. The literary and artistic horn of the new era has been sounded, literary and art workers should adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, take morality as the first, moral and artistic double cultivation, uphold the original intention of creation, focus on fine creation, use excellent works to praise the era, give back to the audience, and contribute to society!

During this time, on TV and in newspapers, I learned that some young actors have not withstood the test of fame and fortune, there have been a lot of negative news, and some have been punished by the law for illegal acts such as tax evasion and drug abuse, and I deeply feel sorry for them. These acts have destroyed the group image of literary and art workers, and have also had an extremely adverse impact on the shaping of the values of the vast number of young people. In order to carry forward the good atmosphere in the literary and art circles, create a clear and healthy cultural trend in the whole society, and let more literary and art workers embark on the correct path of life and creation, I think it is very necessary to strengthen education management and moral construction in the literary and art circles during this period, carry forward the artistic style and morality of outstanding artists, warn and educate those practitioners who have misbehaved, and rectify and standardize undesirable cultural phenomena.
Literary and artistic workers are the engineers of the human soul. We must use excellent works of art to infect, educate, and educate people, first of all, we must be people with good conduct and lofty spirits, which is the basic expectation of the chinese and foreign people in ancient and modern times for literary and artistic workers, and it is also the self-requirement that literary and artistic workers should have. Just as Comrade Chen Yun's inscription to the music workers said: "Out of people to write books to take the right path." In this sentence, to take the right path is to require us to first follow the party and do everything for the people. As literary and art workers in socialist countries, we must not only have exquisite artistic skills, but also have firm political qualities and lofty moral sentiments. If any literary and art worker forgets all this, lowers his moral requirements for himself, or even dares to touch the red line and bottom line of the law, he will certainly be severely punished by the law and spurned by the people of the world. In the face of the temptation of fame and profit, we must know honor and disgrace, abide by the bottom line, know right from wrong, abide by laws and discipline, and consciously fulfill our social responsibilities. At the same time, it is also hoped that the supervision of various undesirable cultural phenomena by relevant functional departments will continue to be strengthened, so as to achieve timely discovery, timely cleaning, and timely rectification, and only through more powerful moral construction and more perfect system supervision can we wake up those disoriented practitioners to recognize the bottom line of the law and standardize their own behavior.
In the final analysis, we literary and art workers in the new era must inherit and carry forward the glorious traditions of those outstanding artists of our predecessors in loving the party, the country, and serving the people, and always put the cause of the party and the people in the most important position in our hearts. We must consciously assume social responsibility, regard virtue and art as an eternal pursuit, take the admiration of virtue and art as the standard of life, consciously practice the core values of socialism, consciously resist vulgarity, vulgarity and kitsch, and win the love of the people with noble professional ethics, good social image, and healthy literary and artistic works. As literary and artistic workers of the party and the people, we should take the lead in resisting such undesirable tendencies as money worship, hedonism, and individualism, and we must strive for excellence in creation. Only by adhering to the people-centered creative orientation can we create more fine works that reflect the voice of the people and reflect the style of the times. This is our long-term mission and our current responsibility.
President of China Performance Industry Association

In the recent period, a number of incidents of artists who violated laws and regulations and lost morality and norms have been exposed one after another, causing great social repercussions. How to restrain the behavior norms of entertainers, while strengthening government supervision and public opinion supervision, also gives new requirements to industry associations to carry out industry self-discipline.
In February this year, under the guidance of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the China Performing Industry Association formulated the "Administrative Measures for the Self-Discipline of Entertainers in the Performing Industry", which was released to the public, and at the same time set up an industry ethics construction committee to be responsible for the ethical self-discipline review of the illegal and immoral behavior of entertainers.
In the recent incidents of Wu Yifan, Zhang Zhehan and others violating the law and losing morality, the association responded in a timely manner and spoke out in a timely manner. In response to the Wu Yifan incident, before the police issued the first police information circular, the association launched a self-discipline review, and on behalf of the industry, it showed the society that the self-discipline punishment of illegal and immoral artists would never be soft,000, and it was the first industry organization to speak out about the incident at that time, which received widespread attention. The follow-up association also successively issued a public voice under the titles of "StrictLy Punishing the Law and Resisting The Industry Boycotting Stars' Evil Deeds Will Never Be Tolerated" and "The Price of "Derailment"; in response to the Zhang Zhehan incident, the Association promptly launched the relevant review procedures after carefully verifying the situation, and after summarizing the comments of the members of the Ethics Committee, issued the "Announcement on conducting industry ethics self-discipline review of actor Zhang Zhehan" to the public, requiring member units to boycott him. After the announcement was released, its concert organizer terminated its cooperation with the actor, and the association's member units Weibo and Douyin also took the initiative to ban the actor's relevant accounts. The self-regulatory review and external voice of these two events were supported and guided by the Department of Arts and the Department of Market Management of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The timely response of the China Performance Industry Association to the illegal and immoral incidents of entertainers and the positive guidance of public opinion have been fully affirmed by all walks of life, and have also triggered the association's own in-depth thinking on the construction of industry self-discipline. Artists violating laws and regulations, losing morality and losing their norms were exposed, seemingly accidental, but in fact, frozen three feet is not a day's cold, the legal awareness is weak, the lack of moral concepts, accidents are inevitable, the construction of industry morality can not only be limited to the law after the incident, but also to strengthen the self-discipline before the event; and after the incident, public opinion continues to ferment and escalate, to a large extent, due to the improper actions of the artist brokerage company, the industry moral construction is not only for the artist, but also should strengthen the comprehensive management of the artist brokerage company.
In view of this, the China Performance Industry Association will further strengthen the industry's self-discipline work:
(1) Implement the requirements of relevant documents of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, especially strengthen the guidance and supervision of the moral construction of private literary and artistic performance groups among members.
(2) Strengthen the training of practitioners, and significantly increase the content related to ideology and politics, laws and regulations, professional ethics, artist management, crisis handling, etc. in the broker training carried out by the association, so as to improve the moral and professional literacy of employees.
(3) While further improving the ethical self-discipline management mechanism for entertainers, strengthen the self-discipline management of artist brokerage institutions. In the near future, the association will organize more influential artist agencies in the industry to hold research seminars and issue relevant self-discipline announcements to the industry and society.
(4) Maintain dynamic tracking of public opinion related to the industry, and study the feasibility of implementing a risk assessment and early warning mechanism for entertainers within members.
The China Performance Industry Association resolutely implements the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Education Management and Moral Construction of Literary and Art Workers" issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, fully implements the industry self-discipline responsibility of the industry association, guides members to enhance their ideological and moral accomplishment, professional ethics and humanistic and artistic qualities, and contributes to the construction of a clean and healthy Chinese performance industry.
Head of the China Symphony Orchestra
Li Xincao
On August 24th and 25th, I attended the "Symposium on Self-Cultivation, Self-preservation, Uprightness, and Forging the Soul -- The Work Forum on the Construction of Professional Ethics and Work Style of Literary and Art Workers of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" held in the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, where we held discussions and exchanges on the undesirable phenomena such as the "rice circle" culture and the "only traffic theory" and the recent illegal and immoral phenomena that have appeared in the entertainment circle, and expressed the consensus and attitude on resolutely handling the problem of illegal and immorality, the management of bad fan culture chaos, and other work involving the construction of business style and industry leadership. At the forum, representatives of the participating artists issued to literary and art workers throughout the country "Self-cultivation, Uprightness, And Determination and Forging the Soul -- Proposal to the Vast Number of Literary and Art Workers." At the symposium, representatives of the music industry, including me, all spoke and said that the overall atmosphere of the music industry is still good, and the good atmosphere is mainly due to the different professional thresholds of art categories. As an artist in music, dance, drama, literature, fine arts, folk art and other disciplines, whether in the study stage or in the work period, you must insist on studying and practicing for several hours a day for many years. And many old artists continue to study tirelessly after retirement, living to the old age and learning from the old. There are no shortcuts on our path, only down-to-earth and cumulative. Therefore, the threshold for engaging in a real literary and art major is very high, requiring years of study, exercise and accumulation, which is very different from some so-called "overnight fame" and low entry thresholds. Many so-called traffic stars, their artistic accomplishment and moral accomplishment, are far from reaching the basic level of an artist. Without artistic accomplishment and no moral bottom line, it is easy to focus your attention on the level of simple entertainment sensory stimulation. In fact, while these chaos occurs, it also confuses the public's different concepts of artists and stars, literature and entertainment to a certain extent. In the case of unclear concepts, many people also classify these illegal stars and artists into the literary and artistic circles.
With the development of entertainment culture and the popularization of mass media, to a certain extent, there is a disorderly development of entertainment capital, the lack of main responsibility of media platforms, the lack of industry and market supervision, under the coercion of capital, the idol stars are over-packaged and artificially built, and the traffic stars one-sidedly pursue traffic dividends, resulting in the "rice circle" culture, the "top stream" phenomenon and the harm of "pan-entertainment" such as "celebrity hit the list" and "hot search" is further highlighted. Some media platforms blindly pursue market benefits, misconceptions such as money worship, hedonism, entertainment to death, and undesirable tendencies such as "guiding and following the flow" and "three views follow the five senses", which have aroused great concern and strong criticism from the society and the public, brought negative influences to the literary and art circles, and polluted the literary and artistic ecology to a certain extent.
The "chaos" that appears in the entertainment industry is actually a reflection of a certain "chaos" in society, and what is needed is the original source. Society is always progressing, but "progress" cannot be the reason for some "chaos", and social progress cannot only be reflected in the surface, but more importantly, the progress of human civilization, so any era must leave a pure land for culture!
As a literary and art worker in the new era, in addition to improving his own artistic accomplishment, it is more important to take the initiative to unite outstanding talents of all categories in the field of literature and art, start from himself, resolutely resist unhealthy trends, vigorously carry forward new trends and healthy trends, adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, and pass more positive energy to society. It is necessary to vigorously disseminate and inherit national culture, and through strengthening the edification, study, and appreciation of national culture by young people, enhance the sense of national self-improvement, cultivate patriotic sentiments, and transmit unique social functions and aesthetic values to them. By learning the art history, aesthetic history, and music history of the Chinese nation, we can not only nurture truth, goodness, and beauty, but also establish the correct three views, and also form excellent spiritual qualities.
On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the party, the literary and artistic undertakings have ushered in an unprecedented period of historical development opportunities, and the new journey calls for new atmosphere and new deeds. Artists should bear in mind cultural responsibility and social responsibility, win respect with profound cultural accomplishment, noble personality charm, and works of literary quality and beauty, become practitioners of advanced culture and leaders of moral customs, promote the formation of a clean and healthy environment in all literary and artistic industries, and contribute to the sustained and healthy development of literary and artistic undertakings!

Secretary of the Party Committee and President Han Ziyong
As a public figure, some artists should have become a model for the whole society with good character and morality, but some artists have not cultivated their private morality, misbehaved morals, and even ignored state laws and regulations, not only have they become the negative "typical" of the whole society, and their various bad behaviors and images have gradually become serious discordant sounds and even spiritual pollution in cultural construction, sounding the alarm for literary and art workers in the new era.
The moral construction of literary and art workers plays an important role in the cultural construction of the new era. The core of cultural construction is to meet people's spiritual needs, and meeting cultural needs is an important part of meeting the people's growing needs for a better life. For their own selfish interests, a small number of artists have repeatedly violated the moral bottom line, touched the legal bottom line, and disrupted the network environment, which not only betrays the pursuit of literary and artistic values of truth, goodness and beauty, but also affects the normal benign literary and artistic work, seriously deviates from the direction of cultural construction in the new era, and deviates from cultural values and the style of the times.
The moral construction of literary and art workers is closely linked to the fundamental role of literature and art as the clarion call of the times, representing the style of the times, and leading the atmosphere of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the forum on literary and art work: "Literature and art are the clarion call of the times, which can best represent the style of an era and the most leading the atmosphere of an era. "This year, we usher in the centenary of the party. To strive for a hundred years of struggle and embark on a new journey, literary and art workers should make a difference and must make a difference; the creation, performance, and evaluation of literary and artistic works must keep pace with the times, and they must not blindly pursue kitsch for profit, still less can they violate the law and lose morality. Literary and art workers should strengthen their personal moral cultivation, adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, not be wrapped up in capital, not be affected by bad trends, concentrate on dedicating artistic works, and keep in mind the original mission of serving the people.
To strengthen the moral construction of literary and art workers, we should adhere to the correct political orientation, and unremittingly use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to arm the mind and guide practice. First, attach importance to and strengthen the work of literary and art criticism. Stand firm on the people's stand, adhere to the people's ideals of literature and art, pay attention to the epochal nature of literary and art criticism, conduct timely reflection and response to the new characteristics of literature and art in the new era, dare to criticize deviations and undesirable phenomena that appear in literary and art work, strengthen the pertinence and orientation of reality, adhere to the academic stance, stir up clarity, dare to speak out, "have great righteousness in the heart, have the people in the heart, have responsibilities on the shoulders, and have a clean hand in the pen," thus effectively guiding public opinion, the market, and the public. The second is to strengthen the guidance of the value orientation of literary and artistic creation. Pay attention to drawing spiritual nourishment from traditional Chinese classical culture, attach importance to the study of classic literary and artistic works, strengthen the study of artists with high moral standing, and base ourselves on the right path and avenue of the development of Chinese literature and art, and jointly maintain and promote the healthy development of China's literary and artistic undertakings. The third is to do a good job in educating, cultivating, and guiding young literary and art workers. Through education, we will help young art workers resist the unhealthy atmosphere in society, help them establish the ideal pursuit of virtue and art, and firmly establish the sacred mission of forging the soul, guide them to become literary and art workers in the new era with faith, feelings, and responsibility, and implement the correct concept of literature and art in all aspects of art practice.
As a comprehensive art institution directly under the ministry, under the correct leadership of the party group of the ministry, we will continue to comprehensively strengthen party building and ideological and political work, continue to implement comprehensive and strict requirements, improve the assessment and evaluation mechanism, strictly manage and standardize daily, strengthen information monitoring and situation analysis, timely discover and deal with the emergence of problems, continue to educate, guide, and supervise the vast number of artistic workers and scholars in the whole academy to strengthen moral construction, strictly self-discipline, diligent study, and devote their main personal energy to writing and recording the great practice of the people The progress of the times requires that we create more literary and artistic works with bones, morality and temperature, highlight the beauty of faith and sublime beauty, carry forward the Chinese spirit, unite China's strength, and continue to contribute to the construction of a socialist cultural power.
President of the National Theatre of China
Tian Qinxin
Recently, there have been some violations of laws and regulations and loss of morality in the performing arts industry. These incidents have caused great harm to the image of literary and artistic workers. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the Circular on Further Strengthening the Educational Management and Moral Construction of Literary and Art Workers, which is heartening and encouraging.
As a director, I know the importance of being a person before I am a person and not forgetting my roots. Over the years, I have been working in the front line of creation, creating a number of audience favorite stage works, such as the drama "The Field of Life and Death", "Four Generations Together", "Beijing Fayuan Temple" and the opera "Long March", etc., the audience response during the performance of the play was enthusiastic; invited by the Central Radio and Television Corporation, I participated in the drama director of the first and second seasons of the large-scale cultural talk program "China in the Story" jointly completed by the National Theatre of China and the CCTV Comprehensive Channel, as well as the artistic director of the large-scale cultural program "China in the Classics". The program's ratings have repeatedly reached new highs, and continue to trigger heated discussions on topics such as cultural self-confidence and cultural identity in the society.
At the same time, as the director of the National Theatre of China, I am well aware of my cultural responsibility. Over the years, he has taken the initiative to undertake the mission of literature and art and actively played an exemplary role. In accordance with the work requirements of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, as a deputy general director, he participated in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the epic poem "Struggle! Sons and Daughters of China" and the creation and rehearsal of the large-scale sitcom epic "The Great Journey" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. As a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, since 2019, I have served as the general director of the literary and artistic performance of the New Year's Tea Party of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for three consecutive years, and I have conscientiously and successfully completed the performance task, which has been praised by the central leading comrades. In the process of creation, we always adhere to the high standards of artists and directors of literary and art academies directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and strictly demand ourselves. With morality as the first, art as the most important, and strive to create each work well.
During the rehearsal of the creation of "The Great Journey", because of continuous work, I was accidentally injured in the early morning of one day, fractured my ankle three times, surgically implanted a steel plate and 12 steel nails, and two weeks after the operation, I returned to the party work site, ignoring the pain and swelling of my feet, and began to stay up late to create. I threw myself into my work, did not gain or lose because of my own difficulties, affected the rehearsal progress of the party, did not fail in my mission, and paid for the dramatic presentation and real-time shooting of "The Great Journey", which was praised by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
In the past 20 years as a director, I have always adhered to my original intention, stressed responsibility and dedication, completed the performance tasks assigned by the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the creative tasks of the national dialect itself, and contributed my strength to the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art without reservation.
The National Drama Theatre of China has nearly 30 well-known actors in the first line, nearly 40 well-known star actors, and more than 100 outstanding actors who are active in film and television and stage all year round, the National Drama Theatre of China is an important town of domestic table director art, and undertakes the responsibility and mission of disseminating Chinese excellent culture and promoting the core values of socialism. How to manage the huge cast has been a thorny problem in the theater for many years, and it is also the problem that I think about the most, often unable to sleep at night.
Recently, there have been many incidents of celebrities violating laws and regulations and losing morality and norms, which has aroused the great attention of the national dialect leadership team. The theater launched a public opinion monitoring system, led by the actor center, established a liaison group, and timely and effective communication with all actors in the theater to strengthen the management of star actors.
Today is an exciting day. The timely symposium held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism strengthened my determination and confidence as an artist and theater manager to lead by example and to manage the theater and actors.

Recently, the chaos in the literary and art circles and the bad behavior of literary and art workers have aroused great concern and strong criticism from society and the public, which has had an extremely negative impact on the literary and art circles and caused great harm to society, especially to young people. As literary and art workers, we must adhere to the correct values and outlook on life, firmly adhere to the bottom line of being a person, at the same time, we must adhere to the correct and healthy view of art, artists must be both moral and artistic, and we must resolutely resist violations of laws and regulations, and loss of morality and norms.
Today, the recipients of music are very widespread, and we must not ignore the social role of literature and art, especially the guiding role of young people in the critical period of world outlook and value formation.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to literar Literature and art give people value guidance, spiritual guidance, and aesthetic enlightenment, and the artist's own ideological level, professional level, and moral level are fundamental. By conscientiously studying General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech, I believe that:
The first is to enhance virtue and cultivation. The country is not prosperous without morality, and the people are not virtuous. As a party member artist, we must unify people, work, and art, and undertake the mission and task of "raising the banner, gathering people's hearts, cultivating new talents, revitalizing culture, and displaying image". As the saying goes: We must learn art before being a person, especially in the face of the impetuous atmosphere in the current literary and art circles, we must consciously adhere to artistic ideals, insist on putting social benefits in the first place, resolutely resist money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism, and strive to pursue true talent, good art morality, and high taste.
Second, it is necessary to strengthen theoretical study. On the one hand, we must deeply study Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, unify our thoughts and actions with the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches, and continuously improve our political standing in the study. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the study of laws and regulations and industry norms, be in awe, act in awe, consciously abide by the requirements of laws and regulations and industry self-discipline conventions, and continuously strengthen the awareness of social responsibility, rules and discipline.
The third is to adhere to the inheritance and innovation of national music. Strengthen the inheritance and innovation of Chinese folk music in sound, timbre, charm and content, and rehearse a number of Chinese aesthetic folk music works with "beautiful melody, far-reaching artistic conception, familiarity, and tireless hearing". Combining the instrument innovation and work innovation of folk music, we will create a national music school with Chinese characteristics, create a new era of Chinese folk music, and enhance the cultural self-confidence of Chinese national music.
Fourth, it is necessary to strictly manage cast members, gradually strengthen the education of young people in aesthetic education, and establish good moral norms. Strictly implement the decision-making and deployment of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, further strengthen the supervision of the extra-regimental behavior of cast members; establish a normalized verification mechanism and a ledger for personnel who violate laws and regulations, and are immoral and degraded, and formulate a punishment system. At the same time, through the establishment of the Junior National Orchestra affiliated to the Central Chinese Orchestra, the Affiliated Youth Choir, the Music Theory Class, etc., we have strengthened the aesthetic education of young people, led the majority of young people to establish good moral norms, and gradually cultivated a group of national music successors with firm ideals and beliefs, outstanding artistic achievements, and noble moral conduct.

The ancients had clouds: there was merit in taishang, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech. It can be seen that in traditional Chinese culture, those who want to achieve great things must first be virtuous.
The first is Lide. To persist in using Mingde to lead the fashion, we must continue to pursue excellence in moral cultivation and ideological realm. In this era of prosperous development of literature and art, the party and the state have entrusted the vast number of literary and art workers with the mission of educating people with culture, educating people with culture, and cultivating yuan with culture, and with the heavy responsibility of expressing nostalgia for the people and singing songs for the times. As front-line literary and art workers who disseminate excellent traditional culture internally and shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultural exchanges abroad, ballet artists must adhere to MingMingde and Ming Dade and be artists with both virtue and art.
Looking at ancient and modern China and abroad, the realm of great works is invariably reflected in the author's moral conduct and in line with the author's spiritual world. However, once upon a time, the artistic virtues of many practitioners in our literary and art industry seemed to have been diluted and forgotten in the tide of the market, which directly led to the disappearance of the ideological nature of the art work and the exaggeration of stage performances. Without the love for the people's most authentic life, without the most basic benevolence of human nature, how can we create truly moving works? Without the moral consciousness of my three provinces and my body, how can I create a touching artistic image? Without the study style and morality of being a teacher and behaving in a worldly manner, how can we cultivate generations of outstanding artistic talents?
Fortunately, in the history of China-Baba, there is no shortage of artists like Mr. Dai Ailian and Teacher Li Chengxiang. Mr. Dai Ailian aspired to study ballet since childhood, and during his studies in the UK, he worked diligently and laid a solid professional foundation. At the moment when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out and the nation was in danger, Mr. Dai resolutely returned to the war-torn motherland with a heart of fist and fist to serve the country, and under the guidance of Song Qingling, Deng Yingchao and other revolutionaries of the older generation, he strengthened his grand ambition to revitalize the cause of Chinese dance, and throughout his life, he was unswerving. Teacher Li Chengxiang, as our old leader and predecessor, his life is a life of creation, a life of practicing "art comes from the people and will be dedicated to the people". Many classic works such as "The Red Detachment of Women" that he participated in creating were created with deep feelings for the party and the people, and with the lofty artistic pursuit of excellence. Looking back at the trajectory of their lives, we can find that their lofty artistic achievements and equally lofty moral cultivation are closely related and inseparable. As the disseminators and creators of truth, goodness and beauty, Virtue and Art Shuangxin, Mingmingde and Ming dade are important principles that we must adhere to in all aspects of our work such as artistic creation and talent training.
On the basis of Lide, we must also make meritorious contributions. Insisting on using Matilda to lead the fashion, we must constantly pursue excellence in creation. We inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture, practice the people-centered concept of literary and artistic creation, and integrate the feelings of home and country Chinese and the sense of social responsibility and values of achieving great self with the small self into the many original works of the troupe. Whether it is the revolutionary theme of "Red Detachment of Women", "Yellow River", "Yimeng", or the realistic theme of "New Year", "Crane Soul", "Dunhuang", "Flowers Open", or the newly created symphonic ballet "Century", the core of its works is the common destiny of the nation and the great love of man and nature in harmony and symbiosis. In the symphonic ballet "Century", the audience not only sees the reference to the Ballanchin style symphonic ballet, but also the strong imagery of traditional Chinese culture and the lofty spirit of our party's century-old struggle. This is a living work, in dialogue with the soul of the audience at all times. This is our advantage as a national academy of arts and literature, and it is also our mission.
Finally, there is the making of words. Works of art with lofty humanistic values are the best textbooks in themselves. Classic works such as "Red Detachment of Women", no matter where the curtain is opened on the stage, is the most vivid art party lesson. Taking history as a mirror and creating the future, on the new journey of the second centenary goal, our Central Ballet should strive to become a world-class academy, and also make a statement on the world stage, establish the Chinese ballet school, and establish a discourse system of Chinese ballet. For this goal, we will follow the nine "must adhere" proposed in General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on "July 1st", combine the actual work of our regiment, and continue to struggle.
President of the National Academy of Painting of China
Lu Yushun
Recently, the illegal problems and immoral phenomena that have appeared in some literary and art workers have caused great damage to the healthy development of the literary and art industry and have also aroused widespread concern in society.
I am deeply touched by this, as an artist, the first thing we should do is to advocate virtue and art, only by always putting "morality" in the first place, can we combine virtue and art, and can we create literary and artistic works with bones, morality, temperature, quality, and taste, which are loved by the people and provided better spiritual food for the masses. If the artist's morality is lacking, his artistic life will only be a "flash in the pan", and he will eventually be abandoned and eliminated by society and the people.
In recent years, the National Academy of Painting has always adhered to the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the Symposium on Literary and Art Work as the guide, and effectively played a representative, exemplary and guiding role in the field of fine arts.
First, the main responsibility of the performance orientation is led. In the past two years, the National Academy of Painting has organized and implemented art creation and exhibition projects such as the theme of poverty alleviation, the theme of Yellow River culture and the theme of "celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China" around the important time nodes and major development strategies of the party and the country, adhering to the academic concept of "Bacon casting the soul, keeping the integrity and innovation", and actively carrying out the activities of "going deep into life and taking root in the people", so as to practice the spiritual essence of "not forgetting the original heart and keeping the mission in mind", practicing the creative direction of "people-centered", and paying attention to the creation of art ontology. Adhere to the awareness of fine products, adhere to the virtue of people, and promote the high-quality development of art creation. In this process, the artists of the whole academy consciously follow the "two for" direction and the "double hundred" policy, continuously enhance the sense of social responsibility, create and create healthy art works and noble art images, hold high the banner of socialist core values, and pursue the truth, goodness and beauty of art.
The second is to strengthen the education and management of artists. In recent years, the National Academy of Painting has formulated and revised the Code of Professional Ethics for Artists of the National Academy of Painting of China, which clearly states that all artists in the Academy should love the party and the country, continuously enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve "two safeguards", and adhere to the correct political orientation. As an artist, first of all, we must not touch the "red line" of law and morality, we must resolutely draw a clear line with the undesirable phenomena that violate public order and good customs, and secondly, we must keep in mind that creation is the central task, works are the foundation of our lives, strive for excellence in creation, and dedicate fine works to the people. In daily creation, uphold healthy artistic tastes, put social benefits in the first place, vigorously guard against "impetuousness", oppose "copper odor", and do not use vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch art works to "poison" the people. At the same time, artists are required to establish a correct world outlook, treat creation with a serious and serious attitude, do not deal with the masses with inferior and shoddy works, and correctly treat literary and art criticism, humbly listen to different opinions, and create a good atmosphere of creation and research with a clean atmosphere. In addition, focus on individual artists, timely interview and communicate after discovering signs or public opinion, and strengthen education and guidance.
The third is to help cultural self-confidence. The National Academy of Painting makes full use of the way and platform of theme art creation and academic discussion, urges the artists of the whole academy to consciously strengthen their artistic accomplishment, dig deep into the national cultural resources, draw nourishment from china's excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, continuously hone and improve artistic standards, use fine art works to express the people's lives, to show China's rapid development achievements under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and then highlight cultural self-confidence. At the same time, as an art worker, we always keep in mind the use of art creation to guide the masses to establish a correct aesthetic, maintain the aesthetic health of the audience, especially the young generation, inherit and carry forward traditional culture and art with practical actions, and live up to the mission and responsibility of Bacon casting the soul, keeping the integrity and innovation.
