毛泽东与“新民歌运动”始末

Mao Zedong and the Starting and Ending of the “New Folk Song Movement”

"新民歌运动"是1958年以毛泽东倡导为起点,进而发展成为席卷全国的声势浩大的群众运动。毛泽东对新民歌选本《红旗歌谣》的批评是"新民歌运动"的转折点,1959年3月郑州会议上的谈话则预示着"新民歌运动"的落幕。毛泽东早年在北大的经历,革命生涯中关于民歌运动的实践,以及关于新诗建设问题的思考是"新民歌运动"得以发生的重要前提,而毛泽东对新诗建设问题思考地不断深化则是新民歌运动落幕的关键。

The ＂new folk song movement＂began in March 1958,starting from Mao Zedong ＇s advocacy of collecting folk songs at the Chengdu Conference,followed by the vigorous propaganda and by the literary and art circles and the positive response of local governments at all levels,the upsurge of collecting and creating folk songs rapidly arose in the country,and then developed into a nationwide huge mass movement. Mao＇s criticism of ＂The Red Flag Ballads＂,an anthology of new folk songs,was the turning point of the movement,and his conversation at the Zhengzhou conference in March 1959 heralded the end of the new folk song movement. Mao＇s early experiences in Peking University,his practice of folk song in his revolutionary career,and his idea for constructing new poem are the important preconditions for the occurrence of the ＂ new folk song movement＂,while MAO＇s deepening reflection on the new poem construction is the key to the ending of the new folk song movement.
