——Quoted in "Speech at the Symposium on Literary and Artistic Work" and other articles

■Interpretation

The academic circles are known as "Jian'an style bones" and "prosperous Tang Dynasty weather", which shows that literary and artistic works represent the style of an era. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, only those literary and artistic works that can sense the changes in the fortunes of the country, establish the tide of the times, and send the voice of the times can become masterpieces. At the symposium on literature and art, Comrade Xi Jinping profoundly raised the question of how literary and artistic works can reflect the voice of the people and lead the times forward with this sentence in "Wenxin Carving Dragon". Today's China is becoming "great" day by day, which not only gives more nutrients and a bigger stage for literary and artistic work, but also puts forward higher requirements for literary and artistic workers, who must preserve righteousness for history, promote virtue for the world, and gather spirit for the times. "Raising the banner of the spirit, erecting the pillar of the spirit, and building the spiritual homeland" and becoming the "forerunner, pioneer, and advocate of the spirit of the times" is the responsibility and mission that literary and artistic workers should undertake. If we can't create more excellent works with muscles, morality, and warmth, how can we be worthy of our great era and great nation?

■Definition

Wenxin Carving the Dragon is a treatise on ancient Chinese literary theory. The book comprehensively summarizes the literary phenomena of the previous generation and discusses some important issues in literature. Among them, in view of the relationship between the development of literature and the changes of the times, he put forward the famous thesis that "cultural changes are dyed by the world, and the rise and fall are related to the time sequence".

Liu Xian, who believes that literature changes with the rise and fall of politics. For example, in the Tang Yao era, education was popularized, so the people made "Striking Song", and the children sang "Kangqu Ballad". In the Yu Shun era, the politics were clear and the people were at ease, so Shun sang the "Song of the South Wind", and the ministers also sang the "Song of Qingyun" with him. Cheng Tang Shengzhe was wise, so the eulogy in the "Book of Songs, Shang Song, Na" appeared. King Wen of Zhou was prosperous, and the folk songs in "Southern Zhou" at this time reflected the spirit of people's diligence and no complaints. However, the political darkness of King Zhou Li and King Zhou You was dark, so the poems such as "Board" and "Swing" in "The Book of Songs: Daya" were full of angry emotions; After King Ping moved eastward, the Zhou family declined, so there was a mournful "Wang Feng Huang Li". It can be seen that "the passage of time and the change of quality and literature", the tendency of literary works is the image reflection of political ecology.
