Zhang Wentian’s Research On Literary And Artistic Thought

As a senior leader of the early CPC Central Committee,Zhang Wentian had high theoretical literacy and had high-level achievements in political decision-making,economic construction,literary and artistic propaganda,and party building.For a long time,Zhang Wentian was known to the public as a politician,but Zhang Wentian’s early literary activities did not attract widespread attention from scholars.In fact,Zhang Wentian was actively active in the May Fourth literary scene before joining the party,and his excellent literary and artistic achievements in translation and creation reflected his thinking on social issues.This experience of literary activity cannot simply be regarded as a "prequel" of a communist,but has its own independent ideological and cultural implications.In the context of May Fourth,when the political path is still unclear,Zhang Wentian’s profound thinking on social issues through literature and art contains the practice and choice of intellectuals facing multiple directions in the May Fourth ideological trend.As a communist,Zhang Wentian mainly thought about literary and artistic issues from the political dimension after joining the party,and his literary and artistic development policies and revolutionary literary and artistic ideas pointed out the way forward for the development of Chinese literature and art.Examining the discursive resources of Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thought,the first thing that should not be ignored is the May Fourth spirit and the influence of Marxism.Zhang Wentian came into contact with Marxist theory earlier,and during the May Fourth wave,he was able to examine and analyze social issues from the perspective of class analysis.First of all,in the pursuit of science and democracy,Zhang Wentian began his literary career,and his acceptance of Marxism gave his literary and artistic thought the most basic position,making his literary practice activities have a distinct people’s orientation;Secondly,the translation and creative activities of literature brought him into contact with a large number of Western literary and artistic ideas,which opened up a new dimension for his revolutionary and romantic literary and artistic creation activities;Finally,the revolutionary political practice activities further deepened Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thought,and finally was able to be generated in the practice and rooted in reality.Zhang Wentian’s literary translation and creative activities are the initial presentation of his revolutionary literary and artistic thought.In the early days,Zhang Wentian participated in the May Fourth literary movement with great enthusiasm and actively participated in the wave of literary enlightenment.He has not only translated a large number of theoretical works and literary works,and ranked among the ranks of literary translators with excellent translation results,but also completed works with unique spiritual temperament as a writer.The novel "Journey" and the multi-act drama "Dream of Youth" are Zhang Wentian’s representative works of this period,which are not only samples for him to express his thinking on social issues through literature and art,but also a direct presentation of his revolutionary ideas in literature and art.After joining the Communist Party of China,Zhang Wentian suspended his literary career and embarked on the road of political revolution,where he became known as an outstanding statesman.As a senior leader of the Communist Party of China,he participated in the party’s planning of literary and artistic guidelines,literary and artistic policies,literary and artistic routes,and the direction of literary and artistic development.His ideas on the united front of literature and art,the idea of popularization of literature and art,and his ideas on new democracy not only reflect his profound concern for and specific guidance for the development of Chinese literature and art,but also become an important ideological component of the CPC’s leadership in the development of literature and art.Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thought contains two-way thinking about the dimension of society and politics.Before joining the party,Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thought was mainly to express his views on social reality through literary and artistic means.During this period,Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thoughts were full of fascination with love and beauty,the pursuit of individual liberation,and deep thinking about women’s living conditions.After joining the party,Zhang Wentian mainly thought about the development of Chinese literature and art as a politician.His concept of the function of literature and art has the characteristics of subordination of literature and art to politics,emphasizing that the development of literature and art should serve the anti-Japanese war and build the country,but at the same time,he also emphasized that he should pay attention to the artistic methods and specific performance of literature and art itself,which can also reflect his respect for the development law of literature and art itself.In terms of the form of literature and art,Zhang Wentian advocated that literature and art should be popularized and popularized,and that it was necessary to critically borrow and absorb traditional Chinese literary and artistic forms and excellent foreign literary and artistic forms,pointing out a new direction for the development of Chinese literary and artistic forms.Zhang Wentian also attached importance to the important role of intellectuals in the Chinese literary and artistic movement,he advocated the cultural atmosphere of free creation of intellectuals,advocated the unity of all intellectuals,and emphasized the need to ensure a good creative environment,these propositions reflected Zhang Wentian’s respect for the main body of intellectuals.Zhang Wentian’s literary and artistic thought has made great contributions to the development of literature and art under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,and the development of literature and art in China’s new era should draw useful experience from it,overcome the one-sided closed-door error,firmly establish the direction of development of literature and art for the people,and constantly create the latest achievements of the Sinicization of Marxist literary and art theory.
