Xi Jinping: Workers of culture, literature and art should go into the depths of practice, observe people's lives, express people's aspirations, and write, describe and sing about people with heart and emotion.
This sentence comes from a speech made by General Secretary Xi Jinping on March 4, 2019 when he visited the members of the cultural arts and social sciences who participated in the second session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and participated in the joint group meeting.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech profoundly expounded the fundamental issues of how cultural and literary workers create, for whom, and for whom to speak, pointed out the creative direction of "pace with the times and people-centered", and clarified the new era of culture, literature and art. Workers must take on the mission of "dedicated to the people with high-quality products and lead the fashion with morality".
Art comes from life.
Literary and artistic works are a mirror reflecting real life, and real life is the soil where literary and artistic works grow.
Literary and artistic creation can unleash the wings of imagination, but it must not be divorced from reality and contrary to common sense. Otherwise, it will become water without a source and a tree without roots, which cannot stand scrutiny and inspection, let alone become a weathered person.
Therefore, only by stepping on the ground, rooting in real life, and discovering the theme of creation and capturing the inspiration of creation from the great creations and ordinary life of the contemporary Chinese people, can such literary and artistic creations be more real, vivid and profound.
The people are the mother of literature and art.
Originating from the people, for the people, and belonging to the people is the fundamental position of socialist literature and art, and it is also the driving force for the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, the people are the source of creativity.
Only by going deep into the people, understanding the people's hard work, and feeling the people's joys, sorrows, and joys, can cultural and art workers gain insight into the essence of life, grasp the pulse of the times, and understand the voice of the people, and can make literary and artistic creations have profound power and timeless charm.
Whether it is "The World", which describes the family life of ordinary Chinese people under the changing times, or "Daughter of the Mountain" and "Love of the Mountains and Seas", which tells the story of poverty alleviation... The reason why these literary and artistic works are attractive, infectious and moving is all because It is because the works are based on reflecting the real life and spiritual world of Chinese people under the background of the times.
The creators regard ordinary people as the protagonists of their works, and immerse their hearts, emotions and thoughts into the people, so that readers or audiences can gain emotional resonance and spiritual enlightenment from their lives.
In today's world, the diversity, diversity and change of ideology and culture have become more prominent, exchanges and interactions are more frequent, and people have more needs and higher expectations for a better spiritual and cultural life.
If the majority of cultural, literary and art workers are to undertake the mission of the times to build the soul for the country and the nation, they must stick to the people's stand, take root in the people's lives, write endless epics of the people, and create more books that meet the people's cultural needs and enhance the people's spiritual strength. Excellent work.
