英文摘要 |
The year 1949 is an important turning point in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. From this year onward until 1966 when the Cultural Revolution started to take place, “songs of praises” and “odes to wars” filled the air for seventeen years, in which history of literature and history of “thoughts” were closely intertwined and “supporting the political policies” became the guideline for literary creation in the People's Republic. The writers’ support of the political policies can be divided into four modes: active, passive, reactionary and resistant. Clarifying the differences and complexities of the modes above will lead to a systematic understanding of different developments in contemporary literature and ideological thoughts. This understanding can be applied to re-evaluate the socalled 'Seventeen-Year Literature' so that the writers' positions in history can be objectively placed. In so doing, history of contemporary Chinese literature will be clear and concise in terms of literary and human values. |
