The reason why literary works are said to be the unity of ideological and artistic nature is because·:
1. In a broad sense, literary works without ideological nature do not exist, because works are all It is written by people, and as long as they are people, they will inevitably infiltrate their own thoughts in the creative process, and they want to guide readers through their works, or have discussions with readers. The ideological nature of literary works is expressed through the specific description of characters, the narration of storylines, the depiction of details and even the painting of scenery. It is the soul and essence of literary works, and works are like carrying soul and essence. body. We should use a more open attitude to understand the ideological nature of literary works. Ideology does not only refer to political thoughts, but also includes the author's concern for others, attention to things, the cultivation of positive interests, and the author's philosophy and ethics. , ethics and many other aspects of guidance.
2. If a literary work lacks artistry, it cannot be called a literary work. At most, it is a textbook, tutorial, or academic monograph. The artistic quality of a literary work reflects the author's creative ability, as well as the author's creative talent and writing skills. In order to highlight the artistry in a work, it must be achieved through accurate description, vivid depiction, vivid expression, and through the reasonable arrangement of the structure of the entire work and the flexible use of expression techniques. Artistry is the combination of form and theme, and the unity of carrying tools and specific content. And the expression of artistry cannot be limited to the use of jerky, continuous phrases and the use of expressions and structural arrangements that have not been used by others. After all, art comes from life. It can only be in line with our daily life and not deviate from our usual thinking and understanding. Only when the scope is known can the artistry be understood and explored by people. Otherwise, it would be like scribbling on a piece of white paper. If one does not know the author's thoughts in particular, it would be difficult for most people to understand the content of the painting. Although many people They believe that literary creation is a way to vent the author's emotions, and the perceptions of other readers do not affect the author's self-talk. Many so-called pioneer authors are proud of saying things that ordinary people cannot understand, and think that their level is superior to others, but they I have forgotten a truth: only works that can be understood by others are good works, and only works that can get popular response are successful works. Otherwise, it will be like the author's private diary, which others cannot read and will not be willing to read. read.
3. In truly outstanding literary works, ideological and artistic qualities are harmonious and unified. The relationship between the two is that you have me in you, and you have me in you. There are several famous sayings in the Western art world: "The entire beauty of art comes from ideas. Art comes from the author's thoughts and creative intentions." "Everything is an idea, and everything is a symbol." Therefore, no matter how much we see a deeply moving work, the source of the emotion does not lie in the author's exquisite writing style and marvelous structure, but in the author's very substantial thoughts and spirit. Only the works are full of thoughts. , the writing style and structure can be truly presented vividly.
To sum up, literary works are first of all human creations. Since they are human works, their essence is the display of human or author’s thoughts. At the same time, as a popular medium, the nature of literary works determines that they must have high artistic quality and be popular among people. Moreover, literary works come from life and are higher than life. Without ideological nature, they lack soul, and without artistry, they will be nothing. Thought and art are the two wings of literary works, and one is indispensable. Therefore, literary works are the unity of ideological nature and artistic nature.
