Abstract Lyrics This is an unfinished posthumous work of Mr. Shen. The first draft was found in the materials returned after several years of confiscation. Except for correcting some typos and punctuation when it was published, the original appearance of the first draft was kept.According to the correspondence between Shen and Lao, this article may have been written in Qingdao from July to early August 1961, or it may have been written after returning to Beijing in August. According to my thinking, I can understand "I". According to my thinking, you can know "people". Life is developing, change is the normal state, contradiction is the normal state, and destruction is the normal state.Life itself cannot be solidified, solidification is close to death or real death.However, transforming it into words, images, musical notes, and rhythms is expected to solidify a certain form and state of life and form another existence and continuation of life through a long time and a distant space. , so that people who live in another time and another place can flow into each other's lives without any obstacles.The value of literature and art lies in this.The formation of literature and art itself can also be said to be full of a desire to prolong and expand life.At least for thousands of years, this way of struggling has become a habit and has been recognized.All human beings' praises of life and youth, upward ideals, efforts to pursue a perfect life, and all cultural understandings based on labor, various ideologies, and things created through various materials and forms are all developed in society. (It is also the process of human life development), to be recognized, verified, and even encouraged.

Therefore, wherever there is healthy life, just like seeking individual and group survival, great literature and art must exist, reflecting the development, change, contradiction, and helpless destruction of life. (Unyielding, emotional or analysis of the destruction of this mature and good life) Literature and art itself are constantly developing, changing, contradicting and destroying.But there must be a new life inside or outside someone's imagination, which is the most basic hope or subconscious pursuit of the artist's life wishes.And this effect is not special, but also normal.Of course, it will also include a superstitious element, or a habit close to superstition, so that latecomers will be bound by it.Just as modern scientists still believe in religion, on the one hand, interstellar voyages are close to reality, and on the other hand, there are still people in the world who firmly believe in God's creation, modern wisdom and primitive ignorance, coexisting in one body, each other does not interfere, the contradictions are united, and they fit seamlessly.Therefore, it is not surprising that some or all of the various concepts formed in literature and art two thousand years ago dominate our personal feelings of sorrow, joy, love, and hatred.It is also common to restrict or encourage the development of a certain nation.Because of this, there will inevitably be an effort to deny and resist this force, or make various struggles in the form of literature and art, or forcefully restrict it from other aspects, requiring literature and art to serve it.The former is most obvious in the aimless and limitless literature and art of the decadent modern bourgeoisie.Among them, there is a big difference. Literature is mostly a rebellion against traditional moral concepts or text structure.Art focuses on the destruction of the formal structure and the habit of influencing people.

Especially art is the most prominent.It's abnormal, and it's normal.Traditionally, it's perverted.In terms of reflecting social complexity and other material new forms, it is the norm.But even so, we still have the following facts, which can prove the loveliness of life flowing like water, that is, in a certain small house with all the modernization of Baizhang high-rise buildings, there are still people who read Homer or Zhuangzi and get great happiness. Inspiration, even unimaginable influence.Or from the impression of a small carving in ancient Egypt, he can get the inspiration for the new architectural decoration he needs—assuming he is a great modern architect.We don't have to worry about whether he intentionally searched or found it unintentionally, but it is a fact that he is inspired by the influence.This proves that art is immortal and art lives forever.One condition is worth remembering, it must be some kind of achievement which makes it immortal and immortal.Naturally, there are also various accidents here, and not all good things can be immortal and immortal.In fact, there are more incomparably great and beautiful things that were finally destroyed, buried, or forgotten in the merciless time.Only a very small part of it happened by accident, which was preserved and played a role due to various accidental conditions.But no matter how rare it is, it can still prove that art is immortal and immortal.It is neither particularly important to the ancient and despise the present, thinking that classical art is a gem, nor is it particularly encouraging modern art to be completely divorced from reality, thinking that there is no audience in the present, and it will inevitably play a huge role in thousands of years.It’s just that there is such a situation in history that some literature and art are immortal.Even no matter how little is left, for example, a certain great sculptor made thousands of sculptures that were brilliant all over the world in his life, and what is left is only the remnant of a small statue, but it can still reflect the life of this person. The solidity, greatness and beauty of life invisibly inspire people to overcome all difficulties and setbacks and complete their personal life.It's a thing.

Another thing is that since literature and art can have such a long-term and huge impact on society and people, if we consciously use and fight for it, it can serve new social concepts.New literature and art, therefore, must develop and change constantly in the constraints of new social or political goals.We must completely affirm and recognize the different requirements of the new society sooner or later, so that we can expect normal development.This is the requirement for literature and art under the socialist system.In fact, this is what is required in any era of human society from primitive times to the end of feudalism and the mature period of capitalism.However, the difference is that the requirements for updating are very clear, so it is unavoidable that it is so serious that it is difficult to get used to the situation.Although the political purpose is clear and unchanged, the political situation and methods are changing all the time. Therefore, the basic methods and completion procedures of literary and artistic creation are also very different from the traditional ones, and it can even be said to be completely different.The author must fully admit that the work is only an appropriate reflection of the collective concept at a certain time, in order to complete the task, and to accept two or more different tasks in a short period of time without any discomfort.The individual-centered pursuit of completeness and eternity in art for thousands of years has been destroyed.What is new and replaced is a mixture of emotions that are also extremely dignified and extremely inferior, to produce works that are acceptable for political purposes and statesman's interests.The difficulty here is quite evident.Contradiction exists within itself and is not easy to overcome.Sometimes even a great artist or a great politician cannot do anything.

He requires others to do this, but he himself cannot do it, and doing it does not satisfy him.The reality is that he understands the truth, he understands it, and he must admit that it is impossible to write works based on practice.In politics, in life, in general work, he accomplished what he knew or believed in, but in writing, he had difficulties.Therefore, there are only two situations, he does not write, and he writes nonsense.No writing or less writing is the majority.There are also people who write Hu, but less.Because writing indiscriminately also requires a kind of contingency ability, and falsification cannot come.This ability can be divided into two sources: one is the "do not care" attitude of following the crowd, and the other is the real self-improvement.It is not easy to separate them sharply.Mostly mixed emotions.In short, it is not easy to write it out.Here lies the greatness.It doesn't matter whether the work is truly great or not.Timely is great.Great meaning has radically changed in literary and artistic works.This is very beneficial to promote metabolism.There is also some waste.Anyway, this thing is in progress.Everything is moving forward.Everything is really moving forward.It is more correct or should be said that everything is developing normally.Society has a purpose, the efforts of 650 million people have a purpose, and more people in the world have a new common purpose. It is natural and necessary for literature and art to pursue and accomplish this purpose. of.Although there are still many people who do not understand it well and find it difficult to adapt, its development has undoubtedly been recognized as inevitable and normal.

The question is not here, admitting or denying.Denial is pointless and impossible.No great work can ever be produced by denying emotion.The question is how to create a work after admitting it.This is not what the existing theory can help.It's not that simple social material encouragement and stimulation can get great results.Trying to simplify it, thinking that it is just a matter of "thought remolding", is bound to fail.That is to say, adding that thought remolding is a complicated and long-term work is still simplifying the issue.If you don't reform, the struggle will still be in vain.For much useful energy is wasted from this struggle.Many machines that could have been working normally, as long as they are properly oiled, cared for, and used well, they can be expected to continue to produce well-stopped.Is it an "emotional" issue?Is it a matter of how emotions are used?Here, if an experienced writer is allowed to explain the possibility of his own problem, he will say "emotion".It's not exactly "emotional" either.However, the meaning of the word emotion should be classical, and the meaning is slightly different from the current customary usage.A true materialist will understand this.Just like a modern scientist understands rare elements, he understands the power contained in it, and uses different methods to liberate that power, and the power will come out to serve human social life.If you don't understand it, you only hope that the elements will be liberated or transformed by themselves, or you can blame him for being a "stubborn rock", all of which can only lead to one result: consumption, waste, and disconnection.Some "struggle" comes from this.The result is only increased consumption and waste.It must be seen from another higher perspective that this disconnected situation is uneconomical, unrealistic, unsuitable for the overall development of society, and will only change when it is beneficial to the "enemy".That is to say, the ancients said that "if you are poor, you will be successful, and if you are proficient, you will change."
