Mao Zedong’s “Speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art”is the pioneering document of the institutionalization of the CPC’s literature and art. The Marxist revolutionary tradition and cultural genes laid down in it have been well inherited in Xi Jinping’s “Speech at the Forum on Literature and Art”in the New Era，highlighting three aspects: a problem consciousness based on realty, a firm stance on the people, and a strong identification with the nation.The inheritance and development of Xi Jinping’s “Speech at the Forum on Literature and Art” from Mao Zedong’s “Speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art” shows the CPC’s consistent core concept of literature and art facing reality, people and nation, which plays a guiding role in the literary construction in the new era with cultural power and national rejuvenation as its direction.
