毛泽东同志对于马克思主义文艺思想的最大贡献,就在于从理论上和方针、政策上确立并阐明了文艺为工农兵服务、为人民大众服务的根本方向。新中国成立后,为人民服务,为社会主义服务,就成为整个社会主义历史时期文艺发展的根本方向,这是毛泽东文艺思想在社会主义条件下的具体运用和必然发展。粉碎“四人帮”后,文艺战线最重大的拨乱反正就是重新恢复了文艺与人民的密切联系,拨正了中国当代文艺运动的根本方向。新时期的文学艺术在前进过程中出现的种种缺点和问题,寻根究底,都不能不归结到或至少涉及到“为什么人”这个根本问题、原则问题,表现为对于为人民大众服务这一根本方向的不同程度的偏离。通过对于社会主义文艺运动的历史经验的总结,我们的文艺创作一定会出现更加欣欣向荣的局面。 Comrade Mao Tse-tung’s greatest contribution to the Marxist theory of literature and art lies in establishing and clarifying the fundamental direction in which literature and art serve the workers, peasants and soldiers as well as serve the general public in theory and in his policies and policies. After the founding of New China, serving the people and serving socialism has become the fundamental direction of the development of literature and art in the historical period of socialism. This is the concrete application and inevitable development of Mao Zedong’s literary and art thought under the conditions of socialism. After smashing the “gang of four,” the most significant order disarrangement in the art and literature front is the restoration of the close connection between literature and art and the people and the correct orientation of the contemporary Chinese literary movement. The shortcomings and problems that arise in the process of literature and art in the new era can not be attributed to or at least related to the fundamental issue of “why people” and the problems of principle, which manifest themselves in the fundamental problem of serving the general public Different degrees of deviation of the direction. Through the summary of the historical experience of the socialist literary movement, our literature and art creation will surely show a more prosperous situation.
