"Yes, China is not much behind Europe, we have time to catch up!" The cute president said with a firm look.

Princess Katrina Kaif looked at Sophia who was already asleep in Li Timothy's arms, and smiled and said to Emperor Hua: "In fact, there is not much difference. The main difference is in heavy industry. If our heavy industry catches up, our development speed will accelerate!"

"No, it's not the main problem of industry. Before industry catches up, people's thoughts must catch up first." Hua Huang had no smile on his face. This is rare. Hua Huang usually smiles with a smile when he speaks, unless he is talking about a very serious problem.

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "It's true that conservative thinking still occupies the mainstream in China. Many parents enjoy their children's ability to read and go to school, but they just want their children to complete their primary school studies so that they can make money for their families as soon as possible. They don't realize that knowledge can bring them more. This trend of thinking will greatly hinder our development."

The cute president shook his head and said, "You are right, but this is still not all."

"Not all?" Jie Gege couldn't help asking, "What about all?"

"Technology is the primary productive force, there is no problem, but the premise for making the whole people pay attention to science and technology and education is that the people still have to have national literature. This item has been imprisoned for too long!"

"National literature?" Zhao Qingluo covered the book, raised her head, and said softly, and her pink face turned red after saying that. This was the first time Zhao Qingluo was involved when Emperor Hua spoke.

Catherine looked at Zhao Qingluo with a smile, meaning to encourage her to speak.

President Meng said: "Yes, in the early 19th century, the main trend of European and American literature was romanticism, and in the late 19th century, the main trend of European and American literature was realistic. This is more deeply rooted than the Confucianism in China, especially the dregs of Confucianism. I don't know how much it will be civilized. They are now in the realism stage.

In 1789, the French bourgeois revolution completely destroyed France's feudal autocratic system, established the dominance of the bourgeoisie, strongly shocked the feudal order of European countries, and brought the people the hope of the "ideal kingdom" coming to the world.

But the ideal kingdom is just an idealization of the bourgeois kingdom. The reality after the revolution is war and poverty, and it is a more acute class opposition. Compared with the gorgeous controversy of Enlightenment scholars, the social and political systems established by the "victory of reason" are actually a very disappointing caricature.

In this historical context, the utopian socialist thought represented by Saint Simon, Fourier and Irving quickly spread. German classical philosophy represented by Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel raised the value of human subjective spirit to an unprecedented level, and romantic literature also emerged."

After hearing the words of Emperor Hua, everyone was thinking. Timothy Li rarely spoke: "Romantic writers are extremely dissatisfied with the reality of capitalism. They often idealize non-capitalist lifestyles and focus on expressing subjective ideals. Their works are rich in imagination and have a strong subjective lyrical color.

The disgust and disgust of ugly social reality made romantic writers express their feelings for the mountains and rivers and sing praises to nature enthusiastically. The protagonists of the works often move in strange natural environments or distant tribes with exotic moods. Romanticism appears as the opposite of classicism. They criticize the rules and regulations of classicism, attach special importance to medieval folk literature, and obtain the nutrition of popular language, rich emotions, and free and unrestrained from folk literature.

But it was wrong for them to beautify the medieval patriarchal system and even put forward the slogan of returning to the medieval era."

"Yes, the main achievements of romantic literature are poetry, especially lyric poetry, followed by drama and novels. These works are gorgeous in rhetoric, vivid in metaphors, rich and diverse in artistic techniques, but their narrative works also have shortcomings such as scattered structure and excessive plot branches.

Romanticism emerged in Germany at the end of the 18th century, and then quickly spread to all European countries and traveled far away to America, becoming a global literary trend.

In the 1830s, European society underwent tremendous changes. In Britain, France and other countries, where capitalism is most developed, the industrial revolution caused the bourgeois regime to be consolidated and developed. At the same time, the reactionary and ugly face of capitalism are also exposed, and the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the working people is becoming increasingly deeper. "President Meng continued Li Timothy's words: "This problem does not exist in China, because our capitalist economy was established in a peaceful state. On the other hand, our industrial foundation is still very weak and is still in the initial stage. Therefore, what we need to do is mainly to guide domestic public opinion, which is difficult."

Hua Huang thought about this issue carefully. As the contradictions of capitalism themselves are increasingly exposed, the empty calls and abstract protests of romantics are far from meeting the needs of the times.

Therefore, European writers returned from the ideal sky to the "solid" land, deeply exposing and criticizing the various contradictions in society and criticizing the existing order.

This literary trend was called critical realism by Emperor Hua.

"Your Majesty." Jakoterina Krimova is a good at governing the government. However, she has a low education, but she has a high understanding, and she usually reads few books, so she can do specific things. She is not very concerned about these literatures and things, so she can only pour a glass of water for Emperor Hua.

The cute CEO took the cup and nodded to Yakoterina Krimova. Although the two of them had no essence, Emperor Hua saw from Yakoterina Krimova's eyes that she had completely accepted herself, and with admiration, she still made Emperor Hua feel secretly happy.

Several women and Timothy Li listened to Emperor Hua’s talk about European literature with great enthusiasm. This is rare. Emperor Hua’s generally interested in the topics of politics and military, and rarely talk about literature. However, when can literature be separated from politics?

"We must not only make Chinese literature transition to the realist stage, but also avoid being too realist, and still maintain some excellent parts of traditional Chinese studies. This has high requirements for educators." Jie Ge raised his hand and said, "And, aren't your majesty afraid that we will go the wrong way? Everyone uses the European literature style and criticizes everything. Will it be messy?"

"Critical realism is progressive in this era! This point must be clear, of course, they have their own limitations." The cute president was very pleased to see that Prince Jie said the idea. His Prince Jie was not a simple little girl anymore. "Prince said it very well, that's it. This is indeed a difficult point. We must be clear and clear, what stage our country will reach in the future, and how our literature needs to cooperate with the development of the country and enrich the spiritual life of the people."

Seeing that the emperor agreed with him, Prince Jie was very happy and leaned against Emperor Hua's arm with a smile.

Emperor Hua smiled and said, "Then do you have any good solutions?"

Gege Jie shook her head, "I have been thinking about this point, but I can't think of any good way. It seems that I will slowly increase the literacy rate, slowly develop industry, and gradually improve the living standards of the entire Chinese society. In the future, the people should be able to automatically generate our own literature in China, right? It is difficult to change this with the power of the government, right?"

After hearing what Princess Jie said, "You mean, do nothing?"

Princess Jie's pink face turned red, "I don't know, and I don't do anything. Strengthen patriotic education, strengthen your love for His Majesty's education, and love the Huacui Party, what else is there?"

The cute president looked at Princess Katrina Kaifu. Princess Katrina Kaifu seemed to be talking. Emperor Hua smiled and said, "If the princess wants to say anything, just speak freely. It's all her own people."

"The development of natural science and the dissemination of materialist philosophy in the 19th century broadened the horizons of writers, helped writers deepen their understanding and understanding of social laws, and provided huge spiritual resources for the development of critical realism.

Most critical realist writers are from the petty and medium-sized bourgeoisie. They criticize the remaining feudal forces and the power-based bourgeoisie from the perspective of bourgeois humanitarianism, criticize everything that violates human nature, but it is difficult to find the correct way to change society. This ideological background makes the criticism of reality pessimistic.

Critical realism inherited and developed the realist tradition of Renaissance and Enlightenment literature, and advocated that literature truly reflects social life.

Writers often regard themselves as social clerks, trying to write their works into records of the times, and extend literature's understanding and reflection of life to an unprecedented breadth. A prominent feature of critical realist literature is that it truly reflects the vast picture of social life and gives a profound disclosure of reality.

Outstanding critical realist writers reflect the richness and depth of social life, believing that the historical information they provide is richer than the sum provided by historians, economists and statisticians.” Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and then said to Emperor Hua.

"In fact, the path they took, especially the changes in European society, is very reference for China today and can help us avoid many detours. Critical realist writers not only observe social life with a rigorous attitude, analyze social events, and strive to achieve the truth of social details, but also pay attention to selecting typical examples to concentrate, summarize, and process, and reflect the vast picture of the times by shaping the typical character in the typical environment. The most important literary genre of critical realism is novels, which develop novels into a mature literary style, making this literary genre encyclopedia of social life and epic of the times. However, the development of critical realism is extremely unbalanced."

Jenge blinked, "I also know these. European critical realist literature emerged in France in 1830 and later developed in Britain and other Western European countries. From 1861 to 1871, Russia's serfdom reform, the American Civil War, the unification of Italy and Germany, and the French Paris Commune Revolution all had an impact on the development of literature. After 1870, in Britain, France and other countries with developed capitalism, critical realism tended to decline, and various aestheticism, formalism and naturalist thoughts rose one after another in the Western European literary world, but in Russia and Nordic countries with backward economic development, a large number of accomplished writers emerged, and developed critical realism to the peak. Is this related to what Your Majesty said about the literary thoughts that guided China?"

Princess Katrina Kaifu's pink face turned red. In fact, Princess Katrina Kaifu didn't think too specific. She was asked by Emperor Hua and said that she must know something she knew. "I didn't think it through. I think that the literature that China can best cooperate with the economic development of China is the literature that is most suitable for China. To develop industry, we must talk more about how the feudal system is corrupt and how the emerging industrial civilization progresses."

The cute president smiled and said, "Then aren't you still following the old path of Europeans? Moreover, the government is indeed difficult to control folk literature."

Princess Katrina Kaif blushed and said nothing more.
