Guidelines for Juche-oriented Literature
Pyongyang, January 21 (KCNA) -- The famous work "On Juche Literature" published by leader Kim Jong Il on January 20, Juche 81 (1992) has served as guidelines for a rapid development of Juche-oriented literature.

The work expounds in a profound way theories on the times, literature and arts, national literary and art heritages, traditions of revolutionary literature and arts and portrayal of the leader in literary and art works.

It also comprehensively clarifies the issues concerning principles of seed and depiction of works, genres and forms of literature and literary creation.

The validity and vitality of the theories have been fully proved through many literary and art works created over the past two decades.

Some 40 works portraying President Kim Il Sung, leader Kim Jong Il and anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk were created as masterpieces. Among them are "Ode to the Sun", "Pyongyang Declares", "Prelude to Spring" and "Song of Women".

The epic "Our Eternal Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung", revolutionary hymn "Song of General Kim Jong Il", lyrics "February is Spring", poem "Party is Mother" and many other works eulogize the leader and the Workers' Party and represent the Korean people's effort for the prosperity of the country.

Some 3 000 novels were created on the basis of stirring events in Korea and the beautiful life of working people. Typical of them are "Delight", "Mt. Paekgum", "Ardent Wish", "Sea Route", "Wild Rose", "Pyongyang at Night" and "Fifteenth Year".

Besides, dramas "We Will Recollect Today" and "Wish" and scenarios "A White Gem" and "A Day of Training" encourage the Korean army and people to continue vigorously advancing under the banner of Songun (military-first) politics.
