On the origin of "labor theory" to literature.

On the issue of the origin of literature, predecessors made assumptions from different perspectives and theoretical frameworks, which are valuable ideological materials in the history of literary theory. Among them, "labor theory" is a summary and sublation of many other viewpoints, which is more reasonable. First, labor provides the premise for literary activities. As a historical category, literature can have completely different definitions in different times and cultures, and its causes may be varied. As a lyric of love songs and an agitator of war mobilization, literature has different creative motives and writing contexts, and its specific functions and requirements are also quite different. But as literature, it can only appear when the human brain is mature and has a relatively perfect language system, and the maturity of the human brain and the perfection of the language system can only be realized through labor. Secondly, labor promotes the need (motivation) of literary activities and provides the main content of literature. Literature is a conscious and free activity of human beings. The so-called consciousness lies in having a purpose. The so-called freedom means that people should go beyond the constraints of reality to express their ideals in literature. The above characteristics are not produced out of thin air, but in people's actual social life, especially in labor. In addition, literary works should describe people's social life, and labor is a major aspect of human social life, and the labor process experienced by the author often becomes the material of his creation. Third, in the early literary form, there were traces of labor. Poetry, a literary genre, matured earlier. It often emphasizes rhythm and rhythm, which is directly related to the labor process of human beings. For example, it coordinates the pace through labor trumpets, and coordinates the hunter's advancing speed and the formation when surrounding prey through rhythmic sounds. Early poetry, from the perspective of the excavation and arrangement of literary history, basically appeared as the lyrics of songs, and often accompanied by the body language movements of the reciter, that is, "dancing." The trinity of poetry, music and dance is actually the embodiment of the unity of the budding factors of poetry, music and dance in the process of labor. The theory of "labor" is a view of literary origin, which is put forward on the basis of several previous views of origin. It sublates other views of origin, but it is not simply denied, but incorporated into its own system, so that the aesthetic views of other theories of origin reflect a reasonable side under the integration of "labor" The theory of "labor" is a reasonable sublation of various theories of literary origin. It not only overcomes the shortcomings of other theories, but also can reasonably explain some viewpoints of other theories.
