Abstract
As the global order shifts with the rise of the East and the decline of the West, and human civilization reaches new heights, cultural competition has intensified, and the clash of cultural ideologies has become increasingly fierce. The question of what kind of literature and art can enhance the spiritual strength of the people has become a crucial issue of our times. Experience has shown that only literature and art that are deeply rooted in the context of the new era, that fully grasp and express its consciousness, and that remain aligned with the “nation's core interests” can effectively strengthen the people's spiritual strength. This includes literature and art that uphold the people-oriented character of artistic creation, skillfully balance the relationship between art and politics, pursue artistic excellence with an emphasis on aesthetic expression, and willingly take on the cultural mission of the new era. Furthermore, such works must enhance the social function of art with a global perspective and a modern civilization vision. In this light, literary and art criticism in the new era must become more aware of its value-driven role.
