Controversy and Criticism of Petite Bourgeoisie Literature and Art:Based on Xu Jie's"Petty Bourgeoisie and Literature and Art"
In August 1957,Ye Yiqun,Kong Luosun and Yao Wenyuan co-wrote a paper entitled"Xu Jie's Reactionary Road in Literature and Art and Politics",and then Ye Yiqun's wrote"The Banner of Xu Jie's'Petite Bourgeoisie Literature and Art'",which directly criticized Xu Jie's"Petty Bourgeoisie and Literature and Art"published in 1948.In 1928,the revolutionary literature took the first step of dividing writers by class and defining writers and creation by petite bourgeoisie.In the debates with Liang Shiqiu on the theory of human nature,"free man"and"the third kind of person",they were often classified as petite bourgeoisie men of letters,a label for vacillators who failed to find a political way out.After the Yan'an forum on literature and art in 1942,the ideological transformation of the intellectuals was confirmed,and the self-reflection and criticism of the petite bourgeoisie were highlighted.In the history of modern literature,petite bourgeoisie was often used to judge the shortcomings of writers'works.In the course of criticizing the petite bourgeoisie writers and their works,the concept of class struggle was adopted as the standard to measure literature,ignoring and discarding the complexity and richness of human nature and literature;revolution was regarded as the only criterion to judge the writer's position and emotion,blurring and eliminating the different visual thresholds and literary characteristics of literature and revolution;and the position and emotion of workers,peasants and soldiers were used as the standard to measure writers and literature,criticizing or negating the diversity and avant-garde character of literary expression.
