The Cultural and Aesthetic Value of Rural Literature in the New Era

(Abstract)

Li Yunlei

The cultural and aesthetic values of rural literature in the New Era can be explored from the perspectives of rural experience and its aesthetic presentation, tradition and modernity in the vision of the New Era, and “new forms of human civilization.” The new elements of rural literature brought by practices such as poverty eradication, the new exploration led by the transformation of ideological vision in the New Era, and the inspiration of ideaistic propositions such as “new forms of human civilization” to contemporary literary creation provide an important basis for us to grasp the new experience and new characteristics of rural literature in the New Era as a whole, and open up new ideaistic space for it.
