In what year was the Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art held?

Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art was held on 1942.

Our party has always placed cultural undertakings and literary and artistic work in a prominent position. It is an important goal to make literary and artistic work a good part of the whole revolutionary machine, a powerful weapon to unite the people, educate them, strike and destroy the enemy, and help the people fight the enemy with one heart and one mind.

Facing the current complicated struggle situation, the military literature and art work in the new era has a glorious mission and great responsibility, and it must inherit the tradition and play its due role.

Point out the development direction of military literature and art

Serving the strong army and serving the officers and men points out the development direction of military literature and art, and realizing the party's goal of strengthening the army in the new era can not be separated from the guidance and encouragement of the strong military culture. Military literature and art, as an important part of the culture of strengthening the military, must closely focus on the goal of strengthening the military, take service and preparation as the fundamental focus, and make active efforts in spreading the party's will, raising flags and casting souls.

We should make active efforts in strengthening the military flavor and establishing battlefield orientation, integrating into the battle chain and serving the generation of combat effectiveness, carrying forward revolutionary heroism and cultivating fighting spirit, advocating ideological emancipation and boosting reform and innovation.
