Refers to the relationship between art and social material foundation. On the whole, art is in sync with the development level of social material foundation, but in a special period, there is also a corresponding pace between them.

The restriction and influence of social material foundation on art is not direct, but often works through the intermediary links of various factors of certain society and system.

Balance is like primitive society. Man is in a helpless position in front of nature. They can only conquer the power of nature in imagination, fantasize about superman's god or deified characters, and thus produce fairy tales. With the development of productive forces, people's ability to conquer nature has been strengthened, and myths have become historical relics.

For example, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China, after wars, divisions and military conflicts, the social material foundation was destroyed early and people were starving everywhere, but this prompted people to awaken their life consciousness, and literature and philosophy made great progress, forming a situation of literary consciousness.

The imbalance between art and economic development

1, reason:

The artistic development of a certain era, from the ultimate reason, is always formed on a certain economic basis;

However, as a special spiritual production, artistic production is relatively independent;

2, the specific performance in:

First of all, compared with the historical development of different times, the development of art and economy is unbalanced.

Secondly, the horizontal comparison between different regions and different countries in the same era shows that the development of art and economy is unbalanced;

Thirdly, comparing different kinds of art within art, it is found that the development of art and economy is unbalanced;

At the same time, we should also see that the imbalance between the two kinds of production is not contradictory to the fact that artistic production will eventually be restricted by material production.

3. Balance and imbalance are dialectical unity.

There is imbalance in balance, and there is balance in imbalance.

The influence of economy on the development of art

1, the economy determines the occurrence of art.

Any art is based on a certain economic development. Economy creates the conditions for the occurrence of art, creates the motive force for the occurrence of art, and even determines the content and form of art.

2. Economy determines the nature (temperament) of art.

Economy determines the different class nature of art.

Because people have different relations of possession of the means of production and different positions in the relations of production, some people are in the position of class domination, while others are in the position of being ruled by class.
