Zhaotong is a writer, which is a recognized fact in Yunnan literature. Zhaotong literature at the beginning of 2 1 century is lucky and brilliant. Two high-standard seminars marked the rise of "Zhaotong writers", and then "Zhaotong literature phenomenon" quickly became a literary hot spot discussed and analyzed by China literary circles and critics.
The winter of 2002, for Zhaotong writers, is a winter worthy of special books. From June 65438+1October 65438+March to June 2 1 day, the "Zhaotong Literature Phenomenon and Writers' Group Seminar" jointly organized by Yunnan Writers Association, Yunnan People's Publishing House and Propaganda Department of Zhaotong Municipal Committee was held in Zhaotong and Kunming respectively, which was the first time in the literary history of Yunnan Province to conduct a special discussion on Zhaotong literature phenomenon and writers' group in relatively backward areas. The participants in this seminar are not only leaders, famous writers and critics at all levels in Yunnan Province, but also editors from well-known national newspapers such as People's Daily, Wen Yi Daily, People's Literature, Poetry Magazine, October and Dangdai.
They said that Zhaotong literature phenomenon is an awesome phenomenon. In the works of Zhaotong writers, they are full of yearning and maintenance for the purity and sanctity of literature. At the same time, this phenomenon also shows a successful and dynamic literary production mode. Qian Qian's millions of literary lovers use words to activate their hearts. During the 20 years of literary ebb and flow, they refused the temptation of fashion, persisted in excavating the accumulation of local culture and persisted in singing for the people and reality. "History written with blood and suffering is often more vivid. Zhaotong's landscape contains rich literary details. The works of Zhaotong writers have attracted attention not only in Yunnan literary world, but also in the national literary world. They embrace the times with a childlike heart, embrace life, evaporate the true blood in their veins and dedicate it to readers, and defend and protect the character and self-esteem of literature with their own works. "This is a congratulatory letter from Li Cunbao, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association and a famous writer in China. He gave a veritable affirmation to Zhaotong writers. Huang Yao has been paying attention to and caring about the growth of "Zhaotong writers". He believes that the formation of "Zhaotong literature phenomenon" can take many forms, but it is influenced by Zhaotong's profound and long-standing historical and cultural accumulation, which is inseparable from the tenacious struggle, mutual encouragement and perseverance of Zhaotong writers and the care and support of governments at all levels. Zhaotong literature phenomenon is a phenomenon of "representing the direction of advanced culture" in a region and a "literary expression" of Theory of Three Represents.
From the end of June, 2002, 5438+ 10 to February, 65438+2, Yunnan Daily reported a series of special topics, such as Zhaotong Literature Phenomenon and Writers' Group Seminar, and People's Daily reported Zhaotong Literature Phenomenon and Writers' Group with the title "I deeply love the land under my feet". The title of Lookout is The Rise of Zhaotong Writers in the Literary World, and the title of National Literature is the symposium on Zhaotong literary phenomena and writers held in Zhaotong and Kunming. Soon, the words "Zhaotong writers" and "Zhaotong literature phenomenon" went out of Yunnan, became popular in China literary world and were talked about by people from all walks of life on different occasions.
In 2004, "Zhaotong writers group" and "Zhaotong literature phenomenon" once again entered people's field of vision, and some large-scale publicity activities related to Zhaotong and organized by the government also focused on Zhaotong writers. According to some data, since the symposium on Zhaotong's literary phenomenon and writers' groups was held in 2002, Zhaotong writers have published hundreds of works in literary journals at or above the provincial level, such as People's Literature, Contemporary October, Poetry Magazine, Everyone, Prose, etc., and published 2 1 collection of novels, essays, biographies and literary criticism, and some of their works have also been made into movies or TV series.
It is against this background that the Propaganda Department of Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, Yunnan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Zhaotong Municipal Committee invited famous writers from all over the country to visit and guide Yunnan's literary creation and make a big review of it. 1 65438+1From October 28th to February 28th,1,"Yunnan Zhaotong Writers' Creation Symposium" was held grandly.

At the same time, I hope that the vast number of literary and art workers will enhance their sense of historical mission and responsibility for the times and actively participate in the tide of reform, opening up and economic construction. Reflect the fiery life in Yunnan's economy, politics, culture and other fields into literary works, and create more excellent works with healthy content, artistic charm and worthy of the times and people.

With the gathering of seven heavyweight writers of the Chinese Writers Association in Zhaotong, they carefully "feel the pulse" for Zhaotong's literary creation and interpret "Zhaotong writers' group" and "Zhaotong literary phenomenon", which is really rare in China's literary world and has aroused great repercussions throughout the country. "Zhaotong Writers Group" and "Zhaotong Literature Phenomenon" have once again taken root in people's hearts and become a unique and beautiful landscape in China's literary world. This is an unprecedented event in Zhaotong's literary history, which is of milestone significance to Zhaotong's literary creation activities.
