Since its birth,Chinese new literature has been closely associated with the development of modern history.Especially in the period of comprehensive Anti-Japanese War,all of China was involved in the time whirlpool of national survival.Literature and art of Anti-Japanese War bear the honor and disgrace of the nation,which is bound to be reflected in the whole process of Anti-Japanese War.In this process,realism has become the mainstream of literature and art practice in the whole Anti-Japanese War because of its unique function and obvious value.First of all,as the theme of The Times,the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War makes literary and artistic activities closely related to the overall process of the national war.In the early stage of the war of resistance against Japan,"Realism" more often refers to a kind of subject matter selection of " As long as writing involves the War of Resistance",In terms of creation,it is mainly manifested in the direct writing and positive expression of the war of resistance,and therefore,a discussion on the issues that " Literature was irrelevant with the Anti-Japanese War" and "Exposing and Satirizing" was launched.The two sides complement each other,common rich with realism literary practice in the period Anti-Japanese War,reflecting the realistic deepening process.Secondly,as the cognition and understanding of the reality of the Anti-Japanese War,the literary form has been endowed with significant functional meaning in the hands of realistic writers.Although there was a difference in the concrete implementation way,but out of function to serve for the Anti-Japanese War,the literary form of all along with the popularization and nationalization of logical thinking,and since then the realism creation has a long and profound influence.Finally,from the perspective of literary and artistic creation methods,with the in-depth development of literary discussions,realism became a creative methodology that responded to the requirements of The Times and reflected the needs of the society in that period,and showed a trend of becoming the dominant direction of literature and art in theory.On this basis,Hu Feng made a summative discussion and put forward the "Subjective combat theory",which affected the creative activities of writers of the "July school" and still triggered continuous discussions after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.Realism in the literature and art of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression has a complex form of expression,although the surface seems to be centralized and unified,but behind it contains multiple complicated theoretical exchanges,this also becomes the key to study the development path of literary realism in the war.Therefore,on some controversy in the literature of the war,broadening the research horizon and re-examining the internal operation and discourse construction of realism tendency at that stage can not only deepen the research on literature and art of the Anti-Japanese War,but also have important significance and time value for a more comprehensive grasp of the history of modern Chinese literature.
