After carefully listened to members ' remarks, he made an important speech, and 5 questions and all the writers and artists to discuss.

The first question is "achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires thriving of Chinese culture", XI Jinping pointed out that to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, is the modern Chinese people's greatest dream. Today, more than at any time in history, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, than at any other time in history have more confidence and capability to achieve this goal. Achieve this goal, you must attach great importance to and give full play to the important role of literature and literary and art workers.

XI noted that history and reality have proved that the Chinese nation has a strong culture of creativity. No prosperity of Chinese culture, there is no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The revival of a nation needs strong material force, also need strong mental power. Art is the clarion call of the times, most representative of the style of an era, most led a trend of the times.

XI Jinping said now, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups are set forth in accordance with the party's 18 goals and 18 session of the party's reform task, step by step forward the Socialist cause with Chinese characteristics. Realize "two 100 year" goal dreams, China and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a long-term and arduous undertaking. Great cause needs great spirit. This great cause, irreplaceable role of literature and art, artists is well worth doing. Many writers and artists from the high level of awareness of position and function of literature and art, know their historical mission and individual responsibility.

The second question is "creating outstanding works worthy of the times"

Works of measure depends on the literary achievements of an era. Promoting the prosperity of literature and art, is essential to creative production worthy of our great nation, a great era of good works. He believes that literary and art workers should bear in mind that creation is a central task of his work are the Foundation of this, to calm down, creation of excellence, give the best spiritual food to the people.

Excellent work is not limited, was not a State, not there, both highbrow and lowbrow, indomitable spirit, is overwhelming. As long as there is energy, infectious, can warm the heart, enlightened mind, spread open, leaving it down, loved by people, this is excellent work.

XI Jinping proposed, since reform and opening up, China's literary and artistic creation in the new spring, produced a number of popular works. Meanwhile, cannot deny that, in terms of literary and artistic creation, there is also a lack of quality, number of "plateau" out of "peak" phenomena, there are copies, the same problem, there is a mechanized production, fast-food consumption problems. In some works in the, some ridicule noble, and twisted classic, and Subversion history, vilifying people and hero characters; some is not points, and good evil not differentiation, and to ugly for beauty, excessive rendering social dark side; some found odd hunting yan, and blindly kitsch, and vulgar, put works as Chase interests of "cash cow", as senses stimulus of "shook his head pills"; some made mess wrote, and shoddy, and far-fetched, manufacturing has some culture "garbage"; some pursuit luxury, and excessive packaging, and dazzle rich ostentatious, form is greater than content And others interested in so-called "art for art's sake", just write my own feelings, glass of water, storm, from the public, from reality. All reminder that art cannot be lost in the tide of market economy, not why people on the issue of bias, or literary life.

XI Jinping, talking with several artists, asked what current literature and art are the most prominent issues, they invariably say two words: fickleness. XI proposed that prosperity and literary creation, promotion of innovation, there must be a large number of literary masters of the art both skilled. To put the construction of literature and art in a more prominent position, make efforts to develop a number of influential Arts leaders in various fields, building a great literary talent.

Internet and new media are changing the art form, has spawned a new type of art as well as the profound change of literary concept and practice. XI Jinping proposed, to adapt to the situation, grasp the network literature production, strengthen the positive dynamics. In recent years, the culture of private studios, private cultural agencies, online literary community of new literary organizations have emerged, "we want to expand coverage, contact the extension arm, with a fresh look to them, with new policies and approaches unity, to attract them, guide them the prosperity of Socialist literature and art's power. "

The third question is "adhere to the people-centered creative direction", he believes that Socialist literature and art, in essence, is the people's art. Literature and art should reflect people's aspirations, we must insist on serving the people and socialism, the fundamental direction. This is a basic demands on the literary front, is the key to determining the fate of China's literary career. Only firmly establish the Marxist view, truly a people-centered, literature to maximize its positive energy. A people-centered, is to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the people as literary and literary work of the starting point and ending point, as the subject of literary people, as a connoisseur of literary aesthetics and people's judges, writers and artists to serve as a soldier. XI Jinping presided over the political Bureau

He believes that a good work, people should be able to withstand, expert evaluation, market testing work, should be to put social benefit first, and is the work of integrating social and economic benefits. Under the conditions of developing a socialist market economy, many cultural products by market value, of course, not without considering their economic benefits. However, compared with the social benefit and economic benefit is the second, when two benefits, the two values conflict, economic subject to social benefits, market value subject to social values. Art can't be a slave to the market, not covered with copper odor.

The fourth issue is "spirit is the soul of Socialist literature and art in China", XI emphasizes cultivating and practicing the Socialist core values. In his view, our society is in the mind active, collision of ideas, cultural blend of age, there are a lot of problems. One of the more prominent issues is missing some values, ideas, good or bad, is not the bottom line, what things to violate party discipline and state laws, what kind of unscrupulous activity to do, not state conscious, collective ideas and notions, not about right or wrong, regardless of right and wrong, I do not know beauty, anosmia, unexamined, and extravagance. There is the root problems are here now. This problem if not effectively addressed, will be difficult to smoothly push forward, opening up and socialist modernization construction.

Therefore, XI Jinping proposed, we must vigorously carry forward the whole society and practicing the Socialist core values, make it as ubiquitous as air, all the time, a shared values of all people, us born as a unique spiritual pillar of the Chinese, people's daily and no code of conduct. Actions called for the whole society, through education, publicity, culture, practices, and systems security, Socialist core value into people's spiritual pursuits, into people's conscious action.

Core values of socialism in the deepest and most fundamental and eternal is patriotism. Patriotism is often write a new topic. Have feelings of works, the most inspired the Chinese people work hard in unity. Pursuit of truth is the eternal value of literature and art. Literary and artistic creation to have not only the details of contemporary life, and with the cultural tradition of the blood.

The fifth question is "to strengthen and improve the party leadership of the literary and artistic work", said XI Jinping, the party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee of the development of Socialist literature and art. The fundamental purpose of the party is serving the people wholeheartedly, the fundamental principle of literature and art was created for the people. Grasp the foothold, parties and literary relationships can be properly dealt with, will be able to accurately grasp the spirit and affinity relationships, the relationship between politics and creative freedom.

Strengthening and improving the party leadership of the literary and artistic work, to grasp two things: first, we must closely rely on the broad masses of writers and artists, the second is to respect and follow the rules of art.

He believes that on production and dissemination of traditional literary and artistic creation, we have a relatively sophisticated institutional mechanisms and management measures, and new art form, we still lack effective management methods. In this regard, we must keep up with the tempo, effort to study and solve. By deepening reform and improving the policy, sound system, constantly fine, outstanding personnel of the dramatic situation.

XI Jinping proposed to attach great importance to and strengthen the work of literary criticism, literary criticism is criticism cannot be praised and even vulgar touted, flattery, do not apply to cut Chinese people's aesthetic theory in the West, not to replace art with simple business standards standard, literary and artistic works exactly the same as the ordinary commodity, believed in the "red envelope thickness comments highly". Weakening received mixed criticism of the screening function, lack of effectiveness, persuasive, not conducive to the healthy development of literature and art.

More debates, the more the truth. XI Jinping proposed, without a bit of criticism, is to praise and self praise, adulation and self-flattery, the combination of hype and ego can be seen, that is not a criticism! Golden waters, no one is perfect, what a perfect thing? Bitter, but good. Real criticism, literary works can we get better and better. Writers and artists should have the courage to face the critical shortcoming critics of their own works, in respect of the heart, willing to accept the criticism. To to Marx doctrine literary theory for guide, inherited innovation China ancient criticism theory excellent heritage, criticism reference modern Western literary theory, polished good criticism this put "weapon", put good criticism of steering wheel, using history of, and people of, and art of, and aesthetics of views judge and appreciation works, in art quality and level Shang dared to facts, on various bad literary works, and phenomenon, and thought dared to showed that attitude, in Cardinal problem Shang dared to showed that position, advocate said truth, and told truth, Create an atmosphere of criticism.
