理解与反思——写在《讲话》发表70周年的时候

Comprehension and Reflection——Written in the 70th Anniversary of the Publication of The Speech

《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》是一部伟大的历史文献,是政治家毛泽东站在民族解放的高度对文艺两个根本问题的理解和要求,吸取并反映了众多作家的意见,对中国现当代文学发生过巨大影响,是认识中国现当代文学的重要切入点。70年历程,分为两个阶段,前四十年文学是"讲话时代",后三十年权且称"后讲话"时代。《讲话》在场与否,作家创作、文学发展迥然不同。其间的经验和教训,值得认真反思。

Speech on Literature and Art Forum in Yah An is a great historical document. It is the comprehension and requirement by politician Mao Zedong on two fundamental problems in literature and art. Mao Zedong stood in the height of the national liberation thinking this question. He absorbed and reflected many writers＇ opinions. Speech on Literature and Art Forum in Yah An has had a huge influence on modern and contemporary literature of China. It is an important entry point for us to understand the modern and contemporary literature of China. 70 years can be divided into two stages. The first forty years was the ＂Speech era＂ of literature, while the next 30 years was the ＂post-Speech era＂ of literature. Both the creation of writers and the development of literature were profoundly different in the two different era--the Speech was present or absent. The experiences and lessons are worth of rethinking seriously.
