毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》通过“人民”的界定、文艺“为什么人”及“如何为”三个核心问题确立了文艺为人民的基本精神。《讲话》继承发展了马克思主义文学艺术艺术理论,其确立的基本理论引导着中国当代文学在资产阶级启蒙文学——新民主主义文学——社会主义文学历程中的发展方向。 Mao Zedong’s speech at the Yanan Forum on Literature and Art established the basic spirit of literature and art as the people through the definition of “people”, the “core issues of literature and art” and “why and how”. “Speech” has inherited and developed Marxist art theory of literature and art, and its basic theory has guided the development direction of Chinese contemporary literature in bourgeois enlightenment literature - New Democrat Literature - Socialism Literature.
