The Chinese word 文艺 (wényì) is composed of two characters: 文 (wén) and 艺 (yì). 文 originally meant "pattern" or "ornament", and later extended to mean "culture", "literature", or "the arts". 艺 originally meant "skill" or "talent", and later extended to mean "art" or "performance". Together, 文艺 means "literature and art" or "culture and art".The term 文艺 first appeared in the 19th century, when it was used to translate the Western concept of "culture". In the early 20th century, 文艺 was used to refer to a new type of literature and art that was emerging in China. This new literature and art was characterized by its focus on social and political issues, and its rejection of traditional forms and styles.Today, 文艺 is still used to refer to literature and art in general, but it is also used to refer to a specific type of literature and art that is produced by the Chinese government. This type of literature and art is often used to promote the government's policies and values.
