Literature and art play an irreplaceable role in realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in China's dream. To promote the prosperity and development of literature and art, the most fundamental thing is to create excellent works worthy of our great nation and great times. Since the reform and opening up, China has created and produced a large number of excellent works that are well known to the public. At the same time, there are also some outstanding problems, such as the lack of quality in quantity, the lack of "peak" in "plateau", plagiarism and similarity, mechanized production and fast food consumption.

So how to change this situation? We should attach great importance to and earnestly strengthen literary criticism. He pointed out that literary criticism is a mirror of literary creation, a good medicine, and an important force to guide creation, produce more fine products, improve aesthetics and lead fashion. Through literary criticism, it can help the creators to further sum up their creative gains and losses, clarify their creative ideas and improve their literary creation level. Through literary criticism, readers and audiences can better appreciate the essence of excellent works, distinguish beauty and ugliness in various benign contention comparisons, thus leading people to improve their aesthetic level and fundamentally playing the role of ideological enlightenment and artistic edification. Through literary criticism, we can resist bad creative tendencies, refute wrong cultural phenomena, correct cultural atmosphere and promote the formation of good civilized atmosphere.

Putting literary criticism in the part of strengthening and improving the party's leadership over literary work clearly emphasizes the important role of literary criticism. We realize that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to literary criticism, which is not only an important part of literary career, but also an important force to promote the prosperity and development of literature and art, and an effective method and powerful means for the party to lead literary work. Literary criticism integrates the party's literary and artistic thoughts into academic criticism, guides creation and leads ideological trend, and plays an irreplaceable role. Grasping creation and criticism at the same time has become an important way and experience for our party to lead literary and artistic work. This requires us to understand the special importance of literary criticism more comprehensively and deeply, and further strengthen and improve the work of literary criticism.

In recent years, the organizational structure of literary criticism in various places has been significantly strengthened, the position construction has been significantly strengthened, the types and forms have been rich, the academic level and professionalism have been greatly improved, the construction of criticism institutions has been steadily advanced, and the talent team has been growing. At the same time, we should also see that literary criticism is still a weak link in literary and artistic work: some literary criticisms pay insufficient attention to new works and new phenomena and fail to really play their due role among the masses. Some literary critics are used to applying western theories to cut the aesthetics of China people and explain China's creative practice. The function of distinguishing praise and criticism in literary criticism is weakened, and it lacks combat effectiveness and persuasiveness. Individual literary criticism is driven by interests and participates in low-level hype and vulgar support, which is not conducive to the healthy development of literature and art.
