Answer: a

Mao Dun**'s subject matter is strongly political. That's right.

Mao Dun** takes social struggle as the axis of the story, which inevitably shows the strong political nature of the subject matter;His depictions of love belong to the young intellectual class and are only one aspect of social life;**The narrator shows a lack of personal experience, and more of a historical spokesperson.

Mao Dun is a very representative writer in modern literature. In the field of **, he took over and developed the realist spirit of the "Life School" of the "May Fourth" Literary Research Society, and established a new revolutionary realist literary model at that time. Separate the "30s" from the "May Fourth" and become another literary era.

Mao Dun is using his thoughts to analyze social phenomena, completely changing the naïve state of the long story in "May Fourth" and perfecting it. His medium-length novels, from "Eclipse" to "Midnight", mark the peak of the art of modern literature in the second decade of long form.

One of the contributions of the Mao Duntong type is to adapt to the changes in the content of life in the 30s. The modern short story style created by Lu Xun has been newly expanded, extending to the middle and long stories, which has greatly improved the possibility of reflecting the depth and breadth of life and people's soul in modern China.

Mao Dun's literary history is quietly located

Mao Dun is a generation of writers with a world vision who was cultivated by the "May Fourth". He borrowed and translated foreign literature, and was particularly fond of the critical realist literature of the 19th century. At the same time, he consciously created the theory and practice of revolutionary literature to establish, develop, and improve modern China, and never severed its connection with world literature, thus showing his unique position and role in literary history.

The period of the formation of the unification of modern Chinese literary thought (1937-1949). The upsurge and deepening of the realist literary trend in the service of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and democracy was the basic trend of literary creation in this period, which was mainly manifested in the revolutionary realist literary trend represented by Mao DunThe subjective realism represented by Hu Feng and the realist literary trend expressed in the occupied areas during the Anti-Japanese War. During this period, Mao Dun's proposition on the theory of realism mainly had six aspects: first, Mao Dun clearly put forward the proposition that literature and art "must serve the people".

Second, the connotation of realism is specifically defined. Third, it emphasizes that realist literature "should take the representation of the times as its task". Fourth, it is pointed out that realist literature must focus on writing characters and shaping models.

Fifth, Mao Dun demanded that realism should have its own national form. Sixth, writers are required to grasp a progressive worldview, go deep into life, and strive for creative freedom. His main representative works are "Corrosion", "Frost Leaves Red in February Flowers, Before and After Qingming Festival" These works profoundly express the characteristics of that era, creating a series of distinctive characters and the diversity of art forms.

In addition, Sha Ting's ** Gold Rush Tale Sleepy Beast Tale of Returning to the Hometown Ai Wu's ** Rest Garden Cold Night Fourth Ward. Qian Zhongshu's siege of the city. Lao She's ** Four Generations in the Same Hall are all excellent revolutionary realism of this period**.

In January 1915, after Hu Feng ceased publication in July, he founded Ke Hope, and the inaugural issue published Hu Feng's "Being in the Struggle for Democracy" and Shu Wu's "On Subjectivity," and made a more systematic exposition of their views on subjective issues, from 1940 to 1943, Hu Feng successively published Today, what is our central question? A key point memo Realism Today and other articles more prominently emphasize the writer's "subjective role." In 1944, Hu Feng further expounded on the writer's subjective fighting spirit in articles such as "The Direction of Extreme Efforts for the Development of Literary and Artistic Work and Immersion in the Struggle for Democracy", and Hu Feng's subjective realist theory was completely consistent with the realist tradition of the May Fourth New Literature, and the views and speeches of the left-wing theoreticians of the 30s, and at the same time they had their own unique views, some of which were even inconsistent with the views of the speeches.

Throughout the whole process of the flow of realist literary thought in the modern literary period, realism has shown its unique charm and vigorous vitality from its introduction to its wide acceptance, to its integration with the special environment of the revolution and finally to the process of democratization.

Mao Dun is a typical representative writer of the "social analysis school", and the revolutionary realism he pioneered has made outstanding contributions to the development of new Chinese literature, and most researchers highly praise the fine tradition of the "social analysis school" represented by Mao Dun, and oppose the easy denial of Mao Dun's contribution and status in the history of literature.

Zhang Guangnian: Mao Dun embodies "the perfect combination of a writer and a revolutionary", and is a rare "person who combines two qualities in one". The study of the history of society leads to the study of the subject's individual.

It was early 1921 that Mao Dun joined the Shanghai Communist Group. In July of the same year, the Communist Party of China was founded, and he became one of the earliest members of the Communist Party of China. After 1922, he used the editorial work of ** Monthly Newspaper as a cover and engaged in *** liaison work.

During this period, she also taught at the party-run civilian girls' school and Shanghai University, training cadres for the revolutionary cause. On May 10, 1925, Shen Yanbing published a long article "On Proletarian Art" in the 127th issue of "Literary Weekly". The 17th, 31st, and 196th issues of the Literary Weekly continued to be published on the 17th, 31st, and 24th of October of this month, which were written by Shen Yanbing in order to try out all aspects of proletarian art after he put forward the slogan of revolutionary literature in 1924, and at the same time to clean up his past literary and artistic views.

Writers and literary critics are "one and the same", and Mao Dun is one of the more prominent. Before he devoted himself to literary creation, he devoted himself to the construction of new literary theory and the practice of literary criticism for more than ten years, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he basically stopped literary creation, mainly doing literary criticism, and can be called a relatively "professional" critic, and one of the few critics among modern Chinese writers who has constructed a theoretical system of literary criticism. Therefore, when it comes to modern Chinese literary critics, Mao Dun is certainly indispensable.

However, for Mao Dun's theory and practice of literary criticism, previous studies are unsatisfactory. The neglect of his role as an accomplished critic is one aspect, and more importantly, the imbalance and unfairness of the evaluation of the value of his critical theory. Just as Mao Dun's creative "paradigm" of emphasizing "social analysis" has been questioned a lot, when people generally advocate art criticism, aesthetic criticism, and formal criticism, his criticism mode that focuses on social criticism is bound to suffer a similar fate.

Mao Dun's literary works mainly rely on rational analysis to develop the depth and breadth of image thinking, explain and shape typical characters from the typical environment, and highlight the characters' personalities and their growth history in dramatic plots"Left wing"Literature is recognized as mainstream, and far-reaching, that's what it's called"Social Profiling**"。Its characteristics can also be summarized as: first, it has distinctive rational characteristics; Second, most of the characters are typical and class-based; Third, the development of the storyline is directly related to the social contradictions of the time. This is also known as:"A new revolutionary realist literature"The ** mode is mainly made by Mao Dun"May Fourth"Period: Literature Research Society"Life pie"** On the basis of development, it has changed from the original focus on publicizing individuality to a panoramic reflection of the social reality that is taking place, and has become a sign of a new literary era, which is also exactly"School of Social Analysis"The peculiarities that distinguish it from other literary genres can be said in this sense"Social Profiling**"In the 30s, a new literary paradigm was inaugurated, thus determining its unique place in the history of literature.

Mao Dun's role in the formation of this genre has a decisive influence, which is mainly manifested in works with social analysis characteristics such as "Midnight" and "Lin Family Shop", which represent the highest achievement of this school.
