Abstract

Mao Zedong’s thought on literature and art guided the forward direction of cultural development in New China, embodying a scientific summation by the Communist Party of China of its endeavors in the literary and artistic fields. It has established a robust foundation in the realm of literature and art in New China and injected the great strength of the times into the development of socialist literature and art. In the new era, reviewing and organizing the historical context and distinct characteristics of Mao Zedong’s thought on literature and art, and deeply analyzing its contemporary value, can clarify the origins, strengthen the foundation, and provide new methodologies for creating a new situation in the work of literature and art with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
