从两个“文艺座谈会讲话”透视精神塑造与文化使命

On Spiritual Shaping and Cultural Mission:A Perspective from Two Speeches at the Symposiums on the Arts

毛泽东的《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》和习近平的《在文艺工作座谈会上的讲话》虽然时代背景不同,但有着一致的基本立场和主题。当下中国文艺界种种问题的根源都可以通过这两个“文艺座谈会讲话”精神得到正确认识:一是陷于形而上学思维,二是囿于谬误的“斗争哲学”,三是回避“最终目标”。没有中华文化繁荣兴盛,就没有中华民族伟大复兴,而塑造新时代中国精神,就构成当代文艺工作的使命和目标。对此,重温两个“文艺座谈会讲话”的主要精神,既有助于认识中国精神的时代性和民族性,也有助于走出当下文艺发展困境。

Mao Ze-dong's Speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art and Xi Jin-ping's Speech at the Symposium on Literary and Artistic Work share the same basic stance and theme,despite their different contexts.The root causes of all the problems in contemporary Chinese literary and artistic circles can be correctly comprehended through the essence of these two speeches:first,they are trapped in metaphysical thinking;second,they are confined to the fallacious"philosophy of struggle";and third,they dodge the"ultimate goal".Without the prosperity of Chinese culture,there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Remodeling the Chinese spirit in the new era constitutes the mission and goal of contemporary literary and artistic work.In this regard,reviewing the essence of the two speeches at the symposiums on the arts is of great help not only for recognizing the epochal and national nature of the Chinese spirit,but also for solving the current predicament of literary and artistic development.
