文艺是“引导国民精神的前途的灯火”——文艺与生活的关系的再认识

文艺创作中的工具性操作倾向,以及展示生活隐私的做法,都是对于文艺和生活的关系问题的片面化理解.文艺应该向人的情感世界深入,从人的生命本体出发,将生命体验升华和凝结为艺术形式,使读者通过人生体验指向人生意义的终极关怀,启示人们"诗意地生存".对于文艺家来说,个人生存状态同对读者负责应该是一致的.针对人的不同的生存状态应该有三种类型的文艺.真正伟大的艺术是体验人生并升华人生境界的明镜和灯塔,具有叩问人生意义、烛照人生道路的社会作用,因而具有永久的魅力.

This paper claims that literature should chew over the spiritual world and lead readers to the poetic existence and the artistic form should be the crystal of the experience. There are three kinds of literature corresponding to the three kinds of artists' existence. As the light that illuminates people's spirit, the great literary works which enlighten readers in their thinking about the meaning of life and lessen the burden of their life hold eternal charm.
