Abstract:Yan'an literature and art was an artistic phenomena under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, which combined the Soviet Zone experience, folk forms and elite art. In ideological content, it took mobilization for the War of Resistance and revolutionary propaganda as its mission; in institutional structure, it took the rear-area and battlefield literature and art as its carrier; in audience, it took the masses of workers, peasants, and soldiers as targeted groups; in aesthetic pursuit, it took“Chinese style and ethos” as its direction; and in social function, it took the responsibility of propelling historical progress. During the full-scale War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, guided by Mao Zedong's literary and artistic thought, Yan'an literature and art sought to construct a revolutionary cultural system integrating “popularization”, “nationalization”, and “revolutionization” to reflect the emotions of the masses and the life in counter-Japanese base areas. The national opera “The White-Haired Girl”, through its synthesis of these functions, stands as a quintessential masterpiece of Yan'an literature and art.
