Any age has its own literature and it is true of the Cultural Revolution. The formation of the Culture Revolution literature is guided and normalized by the aesthetic ideal during the period. This ideal has it as its core that molding the models of the proletarian heroes, realizing the harmony between political nature and realness, starting the socialism and something new in order to differentiate the proletariat, and exercising dictatorship over bourgeoisie in the literary field. The end of the Cultural Revolution means not the end of the literariness of its literature but that of the literary period.
