Breadth,Depth and Difficulty:On the Inheritance and Innovation of Yimeng Red Culture——Focusing on Writer WEI Ransen's Contributions to Red Literature and Art
Yimeng red-themed literary works embody the revolutionary history of Yimeng people's patriotism and loyalty to the party,serving as a crucial medium for inheriting Yimeng red culture and promoting the spirit of Yimeng.WEI Ransen,a writer from Linyi,has persistently engaged in Yimeng Red literary and artistic creation,spanning from novels to non-fiction literature,as well as participating in the editing and directing of documentaries,Peking Opera performances,and stage dra-mas with red themes.Through employing various genres,he consistently broadens the scope of Yimeng red culture while del-ving into its profound essence through exploring human nature.For instance,his depiction of sexuality and violence somewhat conforms to historical consumption patterns;moreover,his portrayal of female characters tends to reflect male-dominated cul-tural influences.These aspects underscore the current challenges faced in terms of inheriting and innovating upon Yimeng red culture.Consequently,it is imperative for writers to adhere to a"people-centered"creative concept that embraces modern values while activating contemporary aesthetic spaces dedicated to revolutionary historical themes—thereby facilitating the trans-formative development and innovative evolution of red culture.
