大躍進 時期의 詩

Abstract

This study aims to represent the cultural and political situation of “the New Folk Song” objectively with special reference to major periodicals during “Great Leap Forward”, and with a view to finding out its historical significance. “The New Folk Song Movement” has no identity as folk literature from the viewpoint of the value of literary art. However, the first reason why the new folk song is worthy of notice is the fact that it resulted from Mao Tse Tung’s populist belief to unite with people in the name of literature for the first time, which had been pushed on consistently during “the Cultural Revolution” since the foundation of Red China. The second reason it reflected completely on the destiny of contemporary poetical song of which literary value was compelled to disappear by political power. “The New Folk Song” led to the tragedy of “the Cultural Revolution” a couple of years later and the unification of Chinese literary circles as a signal to alarm the religious fanaticism of “the Red Guards” for the individual and the “Xiaojinzhuang” collective writing of revolutionary literary art.
