Xiao Jun And Literature And Art In Yan'an

Lu Xun's influence on Xiao Jun who becomes a writer under the influence of Lu Xun is multiple. Firstly, Lu Xun gives a hand to Xiao Jun who is in the drift to the living and without a penny from material life. Secondly, Xiao Jun is formally introduced to the literary world by Lu Xun so that he becomes a well-known writer in the mainstream literary world. Xiao Jun cooperates and exchanges with some writers of left-wing such as Hu Feng, Nie Gannu and Ye Zi and so on as well as they publish books and publications with the help of Mr. Lu Xun. Carrying out these literary activities not only help Xiao Jun be neck and neck with writers and critics for example Zhou Yang, Hu Feng etc but also help him lay a solid foundation in the literary circle in the latter. Finally, besides above, it is more important that Mr. Lu Xun has a great influence on Xiao Jun from the concept of literature, the criticism of literature and the creation of literature and other important aspects. Mr. Lu Xun who is one of the most important successors of the May Fourth legacy passes the eternal flame of the May Fourth to Xiao Jun.Xiao Jun makes irreplaceable contributions to the construction of literature and art in Yan'an. First of all, Xiao Jun, strictly according to the facts, gives his suggestion about the current situation and development of literature and art to Mao Tsetung when he associates with Mao Tsetung so that he affects the construction of literature and art in Yan'an by influencing on decision-makers. Secondly, he studies and spreads out Lu Xun's the ideas of literature and art and spirit of literature at the same time he adheres to the view that literature and art intervention in the life in order to preserve the independence of literature and art. Thirdly, he adheres to writing to expanding the impact of literature and art in Yan'an. And he trains some soldiers who work the stage of literature and art for Yan'an by teaching in Lu art, giving speeches everywhere and polarizing literary knowledge. Besides, he is given the commission to collect opinions and suggestions for"speech"by Mao Tsetung. And we see today's "speech" which also includes some of Xiao Jun's own will. Finally, more importantly, it is placed on the agenda that the Chinese Communist Party put makes special policy of literature and art because of Xiao Jun's proposal.The Yan'an Rectification Movement is quickly spread out in Yan'an literature and art circles after the end of the Yan'an forum on literature and art. So the cultural groups and organizations in Yan'an are quick to begin a series of activities which are self-criticism, self-transformation from such as Lu art, the "Wen Kang" to the National Central Institute and so on. And some people, for example Ding Ling, Ai Qing and He Qi-fang, Liu Baiyu, Zhou Libo, and Shu Qun etc, begin to turn. But Xiao Jun at this time continues to adhere to own cultural stance. Especially in the "Wang Shiwei incident" Xiao Jun demonstrates the different position and attitude so that he was quickly squeezed out of the mainstream of literary and art circles in Yan'an. But he consistently adheres to the fighting spirit of resilience of Lu Xun and is hard to maintain the independence of writers and literature and art and because of this he pays a high price. Xiao Jun supports Shiwei' after the "speech" is published when he is in the Yan'an, which is the maintenance of the May Fourth spirit and Lu Xun's legacy and is a strong backwash of the limitations of "speech".
