《讲话》与一场深刻的文学革命的发生

“The Speech” & the Occurrence of a Profound Literary Revolution

延安文艺座谈会之后,左翼文学家一直追求的“文学大众化”真正得以实现:延安文艺界通过学习毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》,确立了“文艺为工农兵服务”的方向;通过民间艺术形式的利用与改造,创造出了真正为老百姓喜闻乐见的优秀作品,解决了一直困扰他们的普及与提高的矛盾;通过文艺工作者下乡,打破了知识分子与工农兵在情感上、思想上与审美情趣上的隔膜。这一时期发生在延安的文学变革,无论就其深度与广度而言,还是就其对中国新文学走向的影响而言,都堪称继新文化运动之后的另外一场深刻的文学革命。

After Yan’an Symposium on literature and arts,the popularization of literature that “left-wing” writers had been pursuing is truly realized.Yan’an literary and art circles established the guidelines of “literature and art serving for workers,peasants and soldiers” by studying Mao Zedong’s Speech on Literature and Arts at the Yan’an Symposium.With the utilization and transformation of folk-art forms,excellent works have been created that are really loved by the people,and thus solved the contradiction between popularization and improvement that has plagued them all the time.By sending literary and artistic workers to the countryside,the gaps between intellectuals,writers,workers,peasants and soldiers in emotion,thoughts and aesthetic tastes has been broken.The literary revolution in Yan’an during this period can be called another profound literary revolution after the “New Culture Movement” in terms of its depth and breadth and its impact on the trend of China’s “New Literature”.
