■Modern Chinese Literature and Art toward the Guidance of Chinese Tradition(PP. 17-28)WANG Yichuan
Abstract:To investigate Chinese literature and art from the perspective of Chinese-style modernization, we can see the guiding position of Chinese tradition, and accordingly, modern Chinese literature and art should also be regarded as the modern literature and art directed by a Chinese-type tradition. Modern Chinese literature and art is generated by the intersection of internal and external sources, that is, the modern literature and art both internalized and externalized. At the same time, it is essentially a kind of modern literature and art that dates back to the source and create a new situation which can be clearly seen from the stages of modernity I, modernity II and modernity III of Chinese literature and art. The Chinese tradition has different appearances in many ways of modern Chinese literature and art. The significance of establishing the Chinese tradition lies in finding new soul guidance for modern Chinese literature and art to be directed to future.

■The Chinese-style Modernization andthe Theoretical Logic and Contemporary Implication of a People-oriented Literature and Art(PP. 29-39)XIE Na, SONG Wei
Abstract:"Advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization" is a proposition of the times with broad historical vision, great historical significance and huge historical value. This proposition of the times, using the method of historical dialectics, converges the two historical missions, the "Chinese-style modernization" and "the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation", into a general proposition. What is modernization? What is the Chinese-style modernization? What is "advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization"? What role does literature and art play in the construction of Chinese-style modernization? As an important proposition of the times, the proposition of the "Chinese-style modernization" has its profound ideological resources and significant theoretical connotations. Therefore, to truly understand this proposition of the times, we need to proceed from the perspective of social criticism, especially from the perspective of Marxist critical theory of capitalism to understand and interpret the "historical dialectic" relationships among the "Chinese-style modernization", "the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" and "modern Chinese literature and art" and to grasp the important theoretical proposition of "advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the Chinese-style modernization", so as to reveal the theoretical logic and epochal significance of "the path of Chinese-style modernization".
Keywords:Chinese-style modernization, the orientation of literature and art, affinity to the people in literature and art

■Fine Arts in 2022: Empathy and Co-creation(PP. 40-53)ZHENG Gong
Abstract:This article will discuss the annual issues of Chinese fine art in 2022 from the following three aspects. First, a discourse platform jointly constructed by multiple participants, taking the International Art Biennale held in different cities as an example to discuss the discourse waxing and waning of the masses and the elites. Second, the spirit of the new era in the creation of thematic art, taking the 7th National Youth Art Exhibition and the 15th National Military Art Exhibition as examples to discuss the linkage between themes and times. Third, the disciplinary orientation of the deep integration of art and science and technology, taking the newly added list of undergraduate majors of the Ministry of Education and their implementation in various regions as examples to discuss the sequence and dependence in the system setting. All the above three are in a state of flux and they show us that the root of the movement lies in the situation of the field. In 2022, Chinese art is in a critical period of contemporary transformation, during which optimizing the ecosystem and co-creating with empathy is a solution to solve the problem. And in the post-epidemic era, it will probably once again face the challenge of the problems of individuality.

■The "Isolating Circle" of Literary and Art Criticism and the Way to "Break the Circle" in the Digital Age(PP. 78-90)WANG Yaqin
Abstract:Behind the current carnival situation of literary and art criticism characterized by "everyone being a critic" lies the crisis of "Isolating Circle". The so-called "Isolating Circle" is not only the basic feature of social relations in the digital age, but also the main problem of current literary and art criticism. In the critical ecology composed of "academic circle", "we-media circle" and "fan circle", each of these circles has constructed a set of unique "critical code". In fact, this chronic disease of "circle" is not only closely related to the expansion of digital rationality and consumerism, but also related to the separation between humanities research itself and practical problems, which reflects the alienation of the generation mechanism of critical discourse, resulting in the limited integration of literary criticism and the loss of public criticism in the digital age. Therefore, we advocate a "Neo-perceptive Criticism" that combines history and phenomenology, respects textual experience and interpretive criticism, and advocates a criticism of diversity and presence. It faces the reality of literature and art in the digital age with a purer attitude, which not only provides us with a new opportunity to restore perceptual criticism in the digital age, but also provides a beneficial exploration of the development of literary and art criticism in the future.
Keywords:the digital age, literary and art criticism, Isolating Circle, Neo-perceptive Criticism
■Studies on the Non-semantic Characteristics of Musical Materials(PP. 91-100)XU Peihui
Abstract:Music and language are interlinked, especially in terms of expression and intonation. However, music has its own logic and expressiveness, therefore, the characteristics of music materials cannot be described only in the external relationship with language comparisons. A phenomenological study of musical performance from the musical materials themselves is needed to investigate the functional and non-semantic characteristics of sound in musical performance in order to fully interpret music.
Keywords:musical material, semanticity, musical text, musical performance

Similarly, to construct the academic system of China's art psychology, we should be problem-oriented constantly strengthening and completing the theoretical construction of China's psychology of art, and providing support for the construction of the academic system.
