In today's era, culture has increasingly become an important source of national cohesion and creativity, and a major factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength. Enriching spiritual and cultural life has increasingly become the ardent desire of our people. Further strengthening the cultural construction of new socialist countryside is of great significance for consolidating the ruling foundation of the Party, promoting advanced culture to occupy rural positions, promoting rural economic development, social progress and improving the cultural quality of farmers.
(1) With the deepening of the construction of new socialist countryside in China, farmers' ideas are undergoing profound changes, and some people also have problems that cannot be ignored, such as lack of public morality, vague concept of right and wrong, and variation of values. Without new farmers, there will be no new countryside; Without the improvement of farmers' cultural quality, it is impossible to achieve the success of new rural construction. Strengthening the cultural construction of new countryside is an effective measure to improve farmers' quality, and cultural construction must permeate the whole process of new countryside construction. Only when cultural construction is well done can the construction of new countryside have stamina and vitality; Only when cultural construction is well done, the comprehensive quality of farmers is improved, and the goals of rural civilization and social stability and harmony can be realized.
(2) Strengthening the cultural construction in the new countryside is not only an inevitable requirement for the sustainable, healthy and scientific development in rural areas at present, but also an organic part of building a harmonious society in rural areas. The original cultural resources in rural areas are already seriously inadequate, especially in rural grassroots cultural infrastructure, cultural activities and cultural education below towns and villages, which need to be filled. Many traditional, backward and decadent cultures have disintegrated or gone extinct to a great extent, and the culture adapted to the new era has not yet developed, so the new countryside urgently needs to develop a new socialist culture. Therefore, from the perspective of social transformation, strengthening the cultural construction of new countryside is an inevitable requirement to conform to historical development and people-oriented social development. Zhejiang is a big drama province, and is known as the "cradle of China opera". The first light of a new era of China's drama shines in Wenzhou, a coastal city in southeast Zhejiang. South Opera, the earliest mature drama style in China, was born in this fertile land with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful Zhong Ling. In the long and long history of the development of traditional Chinese opera, Zhejiang has written a glorious chapter. Zhejiang opera talents come forth in large numbers, and excellent works are repeated. Gao Zecheng, Xu Wei, Wang Jide, Li Yu, Wang Guowei and other outstanding Zhejiang playwrights and opera theorists, such as superstars, shine in history, and a number of immortal works of the four southern operas, such as "Killing Jing and Liu", "Pipa Story" and "Palace of Eternal Life", are still circulating on the stage today, with a delicate fragrance. Zhejiang is rich in the resources of vocal operas. Among the four legendary tunes of the Ming Dynasty, Haiyan tune and Yu Yaoqiang tune in Zhejiang are the second. Local operas such as Yue, Jing, Kun, Shao, Wu, Yao, Ou, Hu, Puppet, etc. compete with each other and are colorful. With its fresh and beautiful artistic style, Yue Opera stands out among the hundred gardens of traditional operas and has become one of the major national operas. Since the new era, with the rise of the Yue Opera "Little Hundred Flowers" and the emergence of fine works of art such as The West Chamber and Five Women's Birthdays, the stage of Zhejiang drama is full of vitality and the scenery is unique here.
Zhejiang is rich in culture, rich in cultural relics and prosperous in music, singing and dancing. As early as the Xia Dynasty, there was a record of Tu Shan's female song "Waiting for People", which was later called "the beginning of Nanyin". One of them is the Yue people's song, which was still popular in Zhejiang in the Zhou Dynasty. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhejiang was rich in people, music, singing and dancing, and hundreds of operas were flourishing, with rich varieties, especially in the eastern part of Zhejiang Province. The long-term spread of singing and dancing and witchcraft activities provided favorable conditions for the formation and development of Zhejiang opera art, and finally formed various qualities including literature, music, dance, art, martial arts, acrobatics and role-playing. Zhejiang music has a long history. In 197s, 16 pieces of bone whistle and pottery casket were excavated at Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, which reflected that our ancestors planted the seeds of music in this ancient land as early as 7 years ago. Zhejiang's superior geographical environment, prosperous economy and developed culture have created cultural celebrities from generation to generation, and also provided favorable conditions for the development of Zhejiang's music culture, and gradually formed its own distinctive characteristics with unique local flavor and rich flavor of life. In history, it has produced a number of colorful music categories and their respective representatives, such as "Zhejiang Guqin", "Zhejiang gongs and drums" and "Jiangnan Sizhu".
Zhejiang folk music is divided into folk songs, folk music, opera music, Quyi music and so on in terms of its forms of expression and contents of performance and singing. The oral literature of Zhejiang ancestors came into being long before Chinese characters came into being. However, the literati creation in Zhejiang started late, not as good as that in the Central Plains, and is a rising star in ancient China literature. After the Six Dynasties, Zhejiang literature gradually rose. When the Jin Dynasty moved eastward, Xie Wang nobles moved to the east of Zhejiang, and the Central Plains culture was deeply influenced, Zhejiang literature flourished. Xie Lingyun initiated the school of ancient landscape poetry in China, which had a great influence on later generations. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, there were people in Zhejiang, such as Luo Binwang, He Zhizhang, Meng Jiao, Luo Yin and Zhou Bangyan. Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Du Mu, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi and other great writers have successively worked in Zhejiang, and their literary talents have been passed down from generation to generation.
during the southern song dynasty, Zhejiang literature was a magnificent sight. Lu You's works are numerous and pithy, which is rare in history. Li Qingzhao of Nandu and Zhu Shuzhen, who lived in Qiantang, are the Gemini of female writers in Song Dynasty. Chen Liang, Wu Wenying, Wang Yisun, Zhou Mi and Zhang Yan are all great poets in the Southern Song Dynasty. The ancient vernacular novels and drama literature also originated in Zhejiang at this stage.
During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhejiang literature continued to prosper, with Zhao Mengfu and Yang Weizhen being the masters of the Yuan Dynasty, and Hangzhou being the center of later zaju. In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai's sketches, Xu Wei's and Yuan Mei's poems, and the West Zhejiang Ci School represented by Zhu Yizun and Li E had great influence. Hong Sheng's Palace of Eternal Life in the early Qing Dynasty is a drama treasure, while Gong Zizhen and Wang Guowei in the late Qing Dynasty are all outstanding figures.
Zhejiang's contribution to modern literature is remarkable. In May 1918, Lu Xun published Diary of a Madman in New Youth, which initiated modern novels. His Scream and Hesitation are very important collections of vernacular novels. Lu Xun was also the pioneer of modern essays. Mao Dun and others are the leaders of the Literature Research Association. Yu Dafu, on the other hand, is the leader of the Creation Society, and his Sinking is the first collection of vernacular short stories in the history of modern literature in China. The Lakeside Poetry Society, founded in Hangzhou in 1922, is the first new poetry society in China. Others such as Xu Zhimo, Dai Wangshu, Xia Yan, Shi Zhecun and Ai Qing are all important writers in the history of modern literature.
after the founding of new China, Zhejiang literature entered a brand-new stage. In the early 195s, Xu Qinwen, Chen Xuezhao, Ji Lang and others made great achievements. Literature languished during the Cultural Revolution. The revival of literature in the new period, novellas in the 198s and novels in the 199s, all have certain social influences, such as Zhang Tingzhu's No.54 Wall Gate, Ye Wenling's Dreamless Valley, Wang Xufeng's tea culture trilogy "There are beautiful trees in the South", "Waiting at Night" and "Building Grass for the City". During this period, Zhejiang poetry, prose and essays, as well as literary theory and children's literature, all achieved good results. In 22, Sun Jianjiang's fable collection "Gourmet Hunting" won the 5th National Excellent Children's Literature Award of Chinese Writers Association.
Zhejiang literature is an integral part of brilliant China literature.
