  Regarding the understanding of fine art and literature, Fan Di'an said that fine art is a symbol of the peak of artistic creation in an era, and the fine art of the new era is to be thoughtful, artistic, and well-made. These three dimensions are applicable to different literature and art. The creation points out the goals, heights and levels that the development of Chinese literature and art in the new era needs to achieve.

From the perspective of art creation, art has its own formal language, as well as the way to feel the world, express life, and shape images.

  Pu Cunxin shared how to pursue high-quality drama from the perspective of drama.

He used an analogy to stand at the intersection of vertical and horizontal to see where he stood.

"Vertical is the level created by teachers, predecessors, and sages in history. Comparing these standards, where are you; horizontally, you have to look at your peers, other schools and troupes, and at the same time you have to look at the world and see the world's Peers, do a horizontal comparison to see where your level is. Through horizontal and vertical comparison, you can find a clear self-judgment on this grid, so that you can be forward-looking, develop yourself continuously, and seek artistic value.”

  Sun Yu believes that in addition to embodying the vitality of the mother tongue, literary and artistic works are able to discover the uniqueness of life, discover the blind spots of life, and bring unique literary and artistic experience.

"The focus of a good literary work must be the blind spot that everyone is used to, but has not been considered. From Lu Xun to Wang Zengqi, they have lived in Beijing for many years, and they have left us a lot of inspiration. They will find a lot of The things we forget are very important, and even take root in the soil of our lives." As Mr. Ba Jin advocated, good works must have sincerity and love, and great compassion.
