"Red Dawn" is a frequent topic of conversation in the military version of Saturn, because of its "maverick" route choice and the "non-mainstream" value system. But no matter what LK people praise about the book, first of all, this is a popular novel, and it is a web novel serialized on a specialized literary website.

Regardless of the book's achievements, influence, and audience; It is not easy to conclude whether its position is in the temple or in the rivers and lakes, whether it is in the first thirty years or the next thirty years, or even in the various shooting ranges that you have set up. But under an old-fashioned story and bloody plot depicted and narrated by the author - a young man traveled through the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, spilled his blood, saved the people from fire and water, and saved the country from danger. The unique novelty is the "non-mainstream" values and the "maverick" red line in the online articles.

From the above, the conclusion is: this is a popular online novel that promotes the main theme.

At the same time, this is the greatest symbolism of the book.

The so-called main theme, apart from the routine and due meaning of the official media, has deteriorated in the past 30 years as far as the literary and artistic front is concerned. Under the impact of Western culture, all kinds of sediment have risen and all kinds of strange things have appeared on stage. The main theme or value system is still unable to resist external shocks, let alone output.

The darkness before dawn

The current general reality is the darkness before the dawn, whether it is official or public, whether it is official media channels or in the field of literature and art, most of us are angry with it. Even as a one-party centralized government, it holds the propaganda machine of the whole country, and it is not even mainly attacking its public opinion control and news censorship, but lamenting its misfortune and lamenting the sigh of "five scum who have declared war in China", so far!

Official media front: The basic group flutters, under the struggle, it's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast.

Central Propaganda Department - War Five Scum;

CCTV——CCAV；

People's Daily, etc., the mouthpiece of the party's eight forces and the power of the evil dictatorship and the advocate of lies;

Local Party Newspapers and Party Periodicals - On Selling by Pounds;

Politics and education courses at all levels - a failed brainwashing tool.

Literary and artistic front: mud and sand, demons dancing; The mouth cannon is invincible, superficial and vulgar.

Metropolitan News Channel - Review the society with the conscience of ratings, and supervise the government with the ethics of advertisers;

Readers, bosom friends, etc. - in the tide of reverse nationalism, shouting for human rights and freedom, and remembering the romance of the Republic of China.

Essay monthly, etc. - all kinds of clear streams, in-depth thinking with the vegetable market, and fifth-grade Chinese code words.

Movies and TV series - the tens of billions box office market at least promoted the cinema hardware; Domestic TV dramas have at least promoted the promotion of Mandarin.

variety entertainment, etc.-When comparing with foreign counterparts with the lower limit, the inferior imitation of local programs can be used to masturbate.

There are many reasons for this situation, and I am afraid that it can be collected into a book if it is to be discussed and refuted. But in the final analysis, it is only right to judge by the main theme and our values that we want to promote and output. First of all, no matter whether it is right or wrong, I don't believe it, what else do you want to output?

1. The theory of contradiction, the universality and particularity of contradictions. The latest official theoretical exposition of the theory of contradiction is the primary contradiction in the current social period -- the contradiction between the backward productive forces and the material and cultural needs of the masses of the people. This contradiction is even more prominent in the field of literature and art and the field of propaganda:

First of all, the limitations of the productive forces and the material foundation of society at the present stage have a direct impact on the output of spiritual and cultural products.

Second, the output and consumption of spiritual and cultural products have the particularities of indirectness, lag and subjectivity at the same time.

2. The two-sided nature of things, the connection, the point of view of development. At present, the rapid development of society and the rapid improvement of productivity have shown diametrically opposite phenomena in the field of propaganda and publicity:

On the one hand, the productive forces that develop by leaps and bounds are the premise and foundation for satisfying material and cultural needs.

On the other hand, the rapid growth of productivity and material base has had a drastic impact on demand orientation.

The triumphant song of the main theme

(1) Our team to the sun

If we don't talk about ideology, we only look at objective facts. In the first 30 years, you may be relatively unfamiliar with the current mainstream LKER, but you don't have to experience it in person, chat with your elders, consult some information, and feel the works, it is not difficult to find:

Mainly as far as movies are concerned, (the popularity of television in the eighties) as a fighter in the main theme, war-themed film and television works have always been a weapon to promote the main theme, just think about the image of Wang Shi. And the war-themed films of the fifties and sixties, such as the well-known "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Guerrillas on the Plains", "Surprise Attack", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Shangganling", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Armageddon" and other "wars", are not only bluffing names, but also are indeed blockbusters that the masses like to see. At that time, the glorious image of the People's Liberation Army was much higher than that of today's Wang Shi.

The above is an objective influence, so let's talk about the level of literature and art, don't say much, I'll see it myself. Than one of the faces disdainfully sprayed: "It's all fake big empty, brainwashed SX." "It's better to just search for resources - these old films are petite and cute than other blockbusters, and they don't bother with hard drives and bandwidth. Personally, in all fairness, it is said that stepping on Hollywood and blowing up the little golden man is a satellite, but there is no pressure on the so-called domestic blockbusters that are not even good at telling logic and stories. The specific film theory and artistic expression techniques are not related majors, so I dare not talk about it, but I can only say that my IQ is worrying when I evaluate it with SX, which is all fake and empty, and brainwashing.

Another thing that is closely related to movies is songs, there were no record companies and no talent shows in that era, but there were many singers and stars. Songs are also the main front of the main theme, and film and television soundtracks, as a subcategory, often sweep the country with the popularity of a movie, and what impresses me the most is "My Motherland" - the episode of the movie "Shangganling". Of course, I didn't feel it in the cinema, but once I watched the tenth screening room, I played this scene and the interlude, and the corners of my eyes were quite moist. AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER MOVIE THEME SONG EPISODES THAT ARE POPULAR ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, YOU CAN BAIDU IT.

In terms of literature, it seems that in the first 30 years, the most personal contact seems to be scar literature and vernacular literature, which are quite controversial, and most of them were written later, so we will not talk about it. It is the so-called model play, a typical "reactionary" in literature and art, which is understandable and catchy, (remember to watch the fastest update in a second) It seems that the artistic achievement (watch the fastest update) is not low.

From the above, from the current point of view, in the first 30 years of such suppression of autocracy, brutality and evil, even if the field of literature and art was not full of flowers, it would definitely be too modest to say that it was full of vitality. Not to mention in the field of propaganda, the red flag is everywhere at every turn, and the revolution is exported at every turn.

(2) Dear, the dream of a great country

After looking back, let's talk about some of the lights in the darkness of the present. "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" LKER should mostly know, and the comic is also quite controversial, of course, compared to "Red Dawn", the influence is greater, and the controversy is smaller. There are many reasons to sum up, but I personally think that the root of the problem lies in the degree of its main theme and the depth of the value system.

On the premise of not comparing artistry, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and literary and artistic works of different degrees and depths correspond to different audience groups and play different roles. This is also the reason for the controversy over "That Rabbit", it is estimated that few readers who love to read comics have read "Mao Xuan", and military historians who like to study original historical materials cannot have too high requirements for comics.

But the biggest brilliance of "That Rabbit" is that it shows an exciting and surprising main theme art form, and it has achieved great success and influence. Comics, as a popular and highly adaptable art form, involve many fields, such as political current affairs, science and education propaganda, serial narratives, advertising illustrations, etc. The story cartoon with a patriotic theme is not unprecedented, but from the perspective of appeal and audience, "That Rabbit" deserves an exciting and surprising evaluation.

From the perspective of the objective environment, there is a certain inevitability in the emergence and success of "That Rabbit", as the main body of the comic audience-80. After the 90s, anime is a childhood and youth memory that accompanies growing up. And the simple patriotism is combined with it, and the emergence and success of "That Rabbit" is an inevitability.

From the above, the main theme does not naturally have a stereotyped, empty, and serious label, and the main theme can also be very trendy and young. Even the comics that carry half of H culture can be used as a position and tool for the main theme, what else can stop the arrival of dawn and the high-spirited triumphant song?

(3) The whole world proletariat unites

Returning to "Red Dawn", regardless of its class line struggle, the contradiction between friend and foe is never resolved by words. As a popular online novel that promotes the values of the main theme, the book is not unique in the field of online literature, at least its theoretical depth and artistry are unprecedented. Although limited to its subject matter and the author's personal factors, it is somewhat blunt and straightforward in the expression and communication of values, which affects the reading experience and literacy as a literary work. But as a pioneering attempt, it is completely understandable and inclusive.

Compared with the traditional art forms of the past, the innovation and symbolism of "Red Dawn" need not be said much, and the degree of controversy can be fully explained. Compared with the comic form of "That Rabbit", "Red Dawn" is much higher in terms of integrity of values, theoretical depth, and plasticity, one is simple patriotism, and the other is a scientific methodology of the world's view. And to confront the complete value system of the West, it is certainly not enough to rely on a simple enthusiasm, it can only be used as a supplement and extension. The confrontation between value systems and social trends of thought is not a gentle exchange and discussion, but a bloody life-and-death struggle, a life-and-death struggle, and the end of extinction or universality.

And the pros and cons of values do not sit back and talk about the Tao automatically, but rely on a powerful propaganda machine, relying on a bigger voice and more right to speak. Materialism, on the other hand, tells us that without a material basis, all ideas, opinions, literature, and art are empty talk. In the same way, as long as there is a strong and rich material foundation, all ideas, opinions, literature, and art will inevitably flourish.

"Red Dawn" itself reveals this - such a "maverick", such a "non-mainstream" web novel.

What is even more noteworthy is the value system expressed and conveyed in "Red Dawn"—the core foundation formed by dialectical materialism and historical materialism, the essence of reality depicted by political economy, and the program of action guided by scientific socialism.

It seems to be a rehash of the same old tune, lackluster, but before dawn is always the darkest hour, the spark has appeared, why not wait for the triumphant song to rise, the sun to rise.
