Keywords:: Xijinping's cultural thought; contemporary Chinese Marxist theory of literature and art; basic views

Abstract:: Contemporary Chinese Marxist theory of literature and art is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. When theorizing on this new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping firmly emphasizes the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific circumstances and the rich traditions of Chinese culture. He closely focuses on the fundamental question of “What is socialist literature and art with Chinese characteristics for the new era, and how can it thrive and develop?” This has led to a series of closely interconnected, mutually dependent, interrelated, and organically unified fundamental viewpoints. These fundamental viewpoints vividly embody the essential features, core significance, and scientific methodology of contemporary Chinese Marxist literary and artistic theory. They fully demonstrate the theoretical style, distinct characteristics, and theoretical integrity of contemporary Chinese Marxist theory of literature and art, inscribing a new chapter in developing the Marxist theory of literature and art in the Chinese context and marking a historic leap forward in this regard.
