瞿秋白对革命文艺的重大贡献——百年中共与现代文艺建设研究之一

Qu Qiubai’s Great Contributions to Revolutionary Literature and Art——A Study on the Centenary Communist Party of China and Modem Literature and Art

瞿秋白从事文艺工作是其终身爱好,在时间段落上远远超过他的政治生涯。他在文艺领域的深湛造诣,为五四新文学运动和继之而起的革命文艺运动作出的贡献更是无人可以替代的。瞿秋白率先提出并反复阐释争夺文化领导权的迫切性,翻译介绍俄苏文学和马克思恩格斯列宁文艺理论论著,1930年代初期积极介入、指导左联的工作,并且在关于无产阶级革命文学的建立、革命文艺大众化、评价鲁迅的文学成就等问题的探讨研究及其个人大量的文艺创作和工作实践等方面,形成了非常丰富的成果和宝贵遗产。在中国共产党建党百年之际,全面总结瞿秋白对革命文艺的贡献,有助于更好地总结中共领导文艺工作的重要理论和实践经验。

Qu Qiubai took literary creation as his lifetime career, which lasted much longer than his political career. With profound attainments in literature and art, Qu made irreplaceable contributions to the May Fourth New Literary Movement and the following revolutionary literary and art movement. Besides, he was the first CPC literary theorist in proposing and explaining repeatedly the urgency of seizing the cultural leadership. He translated and introduced to China the works of Soviet Union literature and the works of literary theories written by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Lenin. In the early 1930s, he was actively engaged in and supervised the work of the League of Leftist Writers. Moreover, he made abundant achievements and accumulated valuable heritages in the founding of the proletarian revolutionary literature, in the popularization of the revolutionary literature and art, in the inquiry into and study on the evaluation of Lu Xun’s literary achievements and in his personal enormous literary writings and work experience. On this delightful occasion of the centenary founding of the Communist Party of China, to make a comprehensive summary of Qu Qiubai’s contributions to the revolutionary literature and art is conducive to making a better summary of the important theory and practical experiences of literature and art under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
