Technological revolution drives new popular literature and art needs

New popular literature and art, characterized by broad public participation in the internet and AI era, are helping China better express itself and contribute to a fairer global cultural order, according to a think tank report released on Sept 6.

The report, titled The Flourishing Development and Global Influence of New Popular Literature and Art, was issued by the National High-Level Think Tank of Xinhua News Agency at an international symposium held in the tech hub of Shenzhen, Guangdong province.

The report said new popular literature and art refer to "a brand-new composite literary and artistic ecosystem that has emerged in the realm of literature and art, driven by the scientific and technological revolution encompassing the internet, big data and AI".

This ecosystem features broad public participation in creation, dissemination, and sharing, and reflects the voice of the people and the themes of the times, according to the report.
