(Abstract)

Wang Benchao

In the past century, Chinese literature and art have continuously promoted the theoretical innovation, creative practice and institutional construction of the popularization of literature and art, which is mainly based on the logic of the ever-changing social reality, giving full play to the social value and function of literature and art, promoting the integration and unity of literature and art with the social era, and of literary and artistic creation with social practice, and embodying distinctive characteristics of people’s nature and practicability. The popularization of literature and art is the process and means by which the CPC realizes the people’s nature of literature and art, and it is the basic principle of the construction of the Marxist literary discourse system. Guiding and developing new popular literature and art is an important symbol of the prosperity of socialist literature and art with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and has great theoretical value and practical significance.
