What are the "two slogans" in the history of modern literature?

The "two slogans" in the history of modern literature refers to the abbreviation of the debate between "national defense literature" and "popular literature of national revolutionary war"

This is a debate among revolutionary writers in the literary and art circles on how to establish an anti-Japanese national united front on the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Lu Xun said that this slogan was put forward after consulting several people (including Feng Xuefeng, Mao Dun and Hu Feng). Then, Zhou Yang, Lu Xun, Mao Dun and others also published articles one after another, and launched a heated debate on the "two slogans".

In Shanghai, almost all progressive newspapers and periodicals have covered it, and revolutionary writers in Peiping and Tokyo have also expressed their opinions. On June+10 in 5438, after Lu Xun's death, this large-scale debate basically subsided.

Extended data:

The reason for the dispute is firstly due to the change of the party's strategy, that is, from splitting the country to striving for the establishment of a United front.

At that time, because the Shanghai revolutionary literary and art circles lost contact with the Central Committee, it was impossible to fully understand the changes in this major decision in time. Everyone has different understanding and actions.

It is also because there was sectarianism in the left-wing literary and art circles in the 1930 s; The gap caused by the change of the situation and the dissolution of the Chinese left-wing writers' alliance further intensified this contradiction and expanded this difference.

There is basically no difference between the two sides in the debate on whether to implement strategic transformation and whether to establish an anti-Japanese national United front in the whole country and the literary and art circles. The difference occurred on how to establish a United front.
