Abstract
During the period of the revolutionary literature movement, the dissemination and evolution of Marxist ideological theory significantly impacted the development of Marxist literary and art theory. Initially introduced from Japan as part of historical materialism, Marxist ideological theory focused on the implications of “spiritual structure” and its connection to the “economic basis.” However, as the revolutionary conditions and theoretical development of the Chinese proletariat progressed, the spread of Chinese Marxist ideological theory gradually distanced itself from Japanese influences and aligned with Russian Soviet Marxist Leninist literature and ideology theory. The focus of Chinese Marxist ideological theory also shifted to emphasize class struggle in the fields of literature, art and ideology. Examining the development of Chinese Marxist theory on literature and art is of great importance in advancing the theoretical process of Marxism in China in the new era.
