“The Second Integration” Leads the Theory Construction of Contemporary Literature and Art

(Abstract)

Gu Pengfei

To realize the integration of Marxism and fine traditional Chinese culture in the field of literature and art, i.e., the “second integration,” it is necessary to take Xi Jinping Thought on Culture as a guide, take China’s specific reality of literature and art as its basis, and push forward the sinicization and modernization of Marxist literature and art theories as well as the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese resources of literature and art. In the specific path of “integration,” we should not only follow the macroscopic path of observance and innovation, but also pay attention to the specific path of elaborating the old in order to supplement the new and explaining the new in order to generate the new, and also invoke the practice of making “common” and “different” contents to “fit.”
