文艺大众化:左翼文艺的核心理念

Popularization of literature and art:the core idea of left-wing literature and art

1930年代以左联为代表提出的“文艺大众化”运动,其核心意义不是一个文学界或文化界内部的理论问题,而是有着其底层逻辑,这就是中国无产阶级革命的基本问题:由先进知识分子为核心主体组成的革命政党怎样“获得大众”从而取得革命胜利的问题。因此从党的层面向文化界提出了文艺大众化的要求,从而成为左联和各左翼文化组织首重的极端重要工作,因而通过理论探索、号召创作大众化作品和培养工农通信员、工农作家等方式贯彻大众化理念,使文化界建立了大众化的基本观念,改变了五四以来的文风和创作面貌,并给后续抗战文艺、延安文艺的理论与创作带来深刻启示。

The core meaning of the movement of"Popularization of literature and art",represented by the League of Left-wing Writers in 1930s,is not a theoretical issue within the literary or cultural circles,but rather has its underlying logic.That is the fundamental issue of the Chinese proletarian revolution--how a revolutionary party with advanced intellectuals at its core can"Gain access to the masses"in order to win the revolution.Therefore,from the level of the Party,the demand for popularization of literature and art has been put forward for the cultural community,which has become the top extremely important work of the League of Left-wing Writers and various left-wing cultural organizations.Thus,through theoretical exploration,calling for the creation of popular works,and cultivating workers and peasants as correspondents and writers,the popularization concept has been implemented,establishing a basic concept of popularization in the cultural community,changing the literary style and creative appearance since the May Fourth Movement,and bringing profound inspiration to the subsequent theory and creation of anti Japanese war literature and Yan'an literature.
