Literary Creation of Burmese Literature
Before and after Myanmar's independence, writers such as Dagongdaya, Ba Maw Ding Ang, anlin and Mya Than Tint put forward the slogan of creating "new literature". It advocates that literature should reflect the reality for the revolution, for the people, and oppose art for the sake of art. By the 1960s, the writers of the Upper Burma Writers Association advocated further reform of the style of writing and advocated writing in colloquial style.

The literary creation in this period was mainly novels. Some of them describe the revolutionary struggles, life experiences and historical figures of people from all walks of life in Myanmar against the background of British colonial rule, Japanese fascist aggression and national independence. Some expose the corruption and hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie, criticize the poison of the western way of life to young people, and expose the exploitation of workers and peasants by the landlord bourgeoisie; Others try to reflect the real life of people at all levels of industry, agriculture and intellectuals in today's society. For example, Lin Yong Dylan's Public Servant (1954) shows a farmer's son struggling in life; Ganijue Mamali's No Hate (1955) describes a woman's unfortunate experience; Wu La's Prison and Prisoner (1957) and War, Love and Prison (1960) describe the fate of prisoners. Wu Dengpei-min's Rising Sun Ran Ran (1958) takes the independence struggle of Myanmar as the theme and describes the political struggle between 1936 and 1942. Ba Maw Ding Ang's E 'ao (196 1) describes 1930' s anti-British peasant movement; The Flowers Blooming in the Mountain Plain (1964) by Naga Mountain View Kisin shows the life of nagas. Nana's North Myanmar (1966 ~ 1967) describes the revolutionary struggle of the people in North Myanmar in the struggle for national independence. Nantah's "Defend the Irrawaddy River to the Death" (1969) praised the unity of all ethnic groups and the struggle against Britain. Min Jue's Jiang Xituo (197 1) tells the history that King Jiang Xituo attached importance to national unity and national construction. Mya Than Tint's Sound of the Waves (1976) reflects the life of fishermen near Zhiheng Island. Nuodu (1978) written by De Geduo Miaosheng reflects the situation of Myanmar folk music and dance circles.
