Labor is the basis for the survival and development of human society. It mainly refers to the process of producing material materials. It usually refers to human movements that can export the amount of labor or labor value. Labor is the way for people to maintain their own survival and self-development. the only means.
Labor is the most important part of human social life, but it is not the whole of social life. The content of other social life besides labor is also closely related to the occurrence of art. In addition, the production of art is premised on the high degree of perfection achieved by human hands due to labor, but the origin of art mainly refers to the driving force in the sociological and psychological senses.
Similarly, the word "labor" in morality, intelligence, body, art, and labor must be completely reflected by the three words "morality, intelligence, and body." Because a person with good moral character, high intelligence, and healthy body must be a person who loves to work. A person with good moral character will not only understand the meaning of "labor creates the world", but will also be diligent and conscientious in his work. On the contrary, a person with bad character will be lazy, afraid of hardship, afraid of tiredness, and always have the idea of ????getting something for nothing. Therefore, in order to cultivate a person who loves labor, we must first cultivate his good moral character.
Human productive activities are the prerequisite for all other basic activities. On the one hand, this is because people must meet their basic survival needs before they can engage in other activities; on the other hand, people are born in this kind of production activity. In labor, a language system with rich expressive functions was created out of necessity. Engels said that labor "is the first basic condition for all human activities, and to such an extent that we have to say in a sense: labor creates The person himself.” Secondly, labor creates the need for literary activities. Human activities are accompanied by a conscious purpose, which is set due to certain needs. Thirdly, labor constitutes an important content of literary description. Finally, labor conditioned the form of the earliest literature. The earliest literary genre of each nation is poetry, which must be sung, sung and danced. Early literature and art was a combination of poetry, music and dance. This form of early literature and art is directly related to the labor process. Primitive people evolved labor movements and the movements of hunted animals into dance, and the trumpets and shouts during labor developed into poetry. The various sounds and rhythms produced during labor provided musical inspiration for primitive people. The trinity of poetry, music, and dance is actually a reflection of the unification of the budding factors of these art forms in the labor process. Compared with other theories, it is more specific and scientific. It fundamentally explains the origin of literature and provides the most fundamental theory of the origin of literature.
