To promote the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art and build a socialist cultural power, the majority of literary and art workers are obliged to shoulder heavy responsibilities and have a lot to do. At the opening ceremony of the 11th National Congress of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important speech and pointed out that the majority of artists and artists should consider their personal moral cultivation, social image and The social effects of the works are unified, adhere to artistic ideals, pursue both virtue and art, and strive to preserve integrity for history, promote virtues for the world, and retain a clear name for themselves with noble ethics and works of cultural quality.
Literature and art bear the responsibility of becoming a man of fame. Lu Xun said: “Cultivating people’s minds is the role and use of articles.” Literature and art can infect, educate, and inspire people, and thus play an important role in guiding social values and leading the spirit of the times. The literary and artistic creators play the role of human soul engineers, and their personality is closely related to the ideological value of their works and social influence.
Those who build morality and cultivate people must first establish themselves; those who cast soul and bacon must first establish themselves. A person who lacks in virtue, how can we talk about promoting the right way, how can we talk about becoming a man of goodwill? Zhi Gao means clean words, Zhi Da means resignation, Zhi Yuan means eternal purpose. Throughout the ages, immortal masterpieces have always been accompanied by noble souls. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Mei Lanfang did not fear coercion and temptation, and refused the performance requirements of the aggressors, demonstrating a lofty national integrity. Virtue and art are both true and morality comes first. This has long been a belief held by generations of outstanding literary and art workers in our country.
Literary and artistic creation is hard and creative work. It is not a matter of day and night to develop a superb artistic level. For the creation of “The Ordinary World“, the writer Lu Yao spent ten years immersed in newspapers and walked into the mines to experience life; the performance artist Lantian has turned the constant observation and speculation of characters into a living habit, and repeated it in order to create a good character. Polishing and scrutinizing every action and line on the stage; singer Guo Lanying has been honed in her childhood learning, solid professional skills and firm belief in “singing for the people” support her continuous exploration and innovation in the art of national opera… In them, we can see the awe of the artists for art and the sincerity of the people. Creation depends on hard work, performance depends on strength, image depends on shaping, efficiency depends on quality, and reputation depends on virtue and art. If you just want to take shortcuts, seek quick success, and seek fame, you will eventually be abandoned by the times and forgotten by the people.
The self-cultivation of literary and art workers is not just a personal matter. The quality of literary and artistic style will affect the entire cultural field and even the ecology of social life. In the context of the prosperity and development of my country’s literary and artistic undertakings, there are also phenomena in which individual practitioners touch the bottom line of morality and law, and some literary and artistic creations deviate from mainstream values. All this reminds the majority of literary and art workers to emphasize taste, style, and responsibility in artistic creation, consciously abide by the law and public order and good customs, consciously resist money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism, and behave in an upright manner and innocent. We must dare to sing praises of truth, goodness and beauty, and pinpoint the false, evil and ugliness. To set an example for society with lofty ambition, good morals, and noble sentiments, and to produce works that can stand the test of time and the people, this is the foundation of literary and art workers.
In the new era and new journey, the majority of literary and art workers shoulder the mission of raising the banner, gathering the hearts of the people, cultivating new people, promoting culture, and displaying their image. They must show new responsibilities in Bacon casting their souls and achieve new deeds in maintaining integrity and innovation. Cultivate your body with a new look, use the cultural creation of constant self-improvement and virtuousness to show the new atmosphere of Chinese literature and art, cast new glories of Chinese culture, and provide strong value for the realization of the second centenary goal and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation Guidance, cultural cohesion, and spiritual impetus.
