1942年毛泽东所作的《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》,系统地阐发了关于文艺创作和文艺批评的一系列重大理论原则,为当时我国革命文艺运动的发展指明了方向。当今,这篇讲话的精神,对于社会主义文艺的创新和繁荣仍具有重要的指导作用。在目前国内外众多学者对它的研究仍情有独钟、 Mao Zedong’s 1942 Speech at the Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium systematically expounded a series of major theoretical principles on literary and artistic creation and literary criticism and pointed out the direction for the development of the revolutionary literary movement in our country at the time. Today, the spirit of this speech still plays an important guiding role in the innovation and prosperity of socialist literature and art. At present, many scholars at home and abroad still have a soft spot for its research.
