'Atirin Thu a awm, Thu chu Pathian hnenah a awm, Thu chu Pathian a ni.
Chu mi chu atirin Pathian hnenah a awm' - Johana 1:1-2
'Lehkhabu tam tak siam hi tawpintai a awm lo ve' - Thuhriltu 12:12
'Without literature, life is hell' - Charles Bukowski
Literature hi Art chi khat a ni a, Art zingah chuan a chungchuang ber niin an sawi ṭhin. Art chu mihring siamchhuah thil mawi emaw themthiamna tihna a ni. A mawlmang thei ang bera sawi dawn chuan Art chu hlawm lianpui pui pathum - Visual Art, Performing Art leh Literary Art -ah te ṭhen theih a ni.

Fiction tia kan sawi hnuaiah hian hla (song/poetry) te, Lemchan (drama) te, thawnthu (novel) te, rochun thu leh hla (folklore) kan tih te chu a peng langsar zual an ni a. Art zawng zawng mai hi a inkungkaih vek a, chung zingah chuan literary art hi a bulṭhut (basic) leh a pawimawh ber niin a sawi theih ang. Hla phuahtuin hla a phuah a, chu chu 'literary art' a ni a, hla chu a saka kan sak chhuah hian 'performing art'-ah a pakai a, lemchan thawnthu ngaihnawm tak chu a taka chan chhuah a nih hian 'visual art'-ah a lo chang leh mai a ni.

2. Literature chu hringnun nena inlaichinna nei a ni ṭhin.
Literature chu 'Hringnun hlimthla tarlanna darthlalang a ni,' tia sawi a ni ṭhin.

Literature ṭha chuan vawiina a hlutna leh a ṭhatna ang chiah khan kum sang tam ral hnu-ah pawh hlutna leh mihring nunah pawimawhna a la nei ṭhin.

Ka dawnin suihlung a leng e, khuarei ka ngai ngam lo.
Tlang tin awi lelte a kiu ve, zûn ngai riang te,

Lunglènna vawrhtawp phochhuahna chu literature a nih rualin, lunglènna vawrh tawp inhnemna chu literature bawk a ni. Lalzova (1924 - 1945) chuan -
"Nangmah ngaiin tawn loh ni hnuaia'n,

(d) Hlimna petu literature:
Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Horace-a tia hriat lar (65 BC - 8 BC) chuan, 'Ziak mite thil tum ber chu mi zirtir leh chawh hlim a ni,' a ti. Thu ziak ṭha chuan min tihlim a, nun nguai a chawk harh a, min nuih tir a, min mitthla tir a, lawm avangin mittui hial a kochhuak châwk ṭhin. Tunlai hunah phei chuan a hlimawm zawnga thuziak thiam (humorous writer) te thuziak hian lawm a hlawh a, chhiar leh ngaihventu an tam hle.

(e) Nun kaihruaitu literature:
Literature tum ber pakhat chu zep leh pehhel awm lova hringnun puanchhuah a nih avangin, hringnuna a dum leh a var pawh thlei dang chuang lovin a tarlang ṭhin a, chuvangin zirtir nei ṭha hi a tum ber a ni lo fo. Chutih rual chuan dikna ṭan avanga tawrhna te, harsatna leh buaina kara hmangaihna te, retheihna paltlang tura chhelna pawimawhzia te, inrem lo te inkara inremna te, dik lo taka thu veivirtute dinhmun tlakchhiat dan te chu kan thawnthu tam ber laimu a ni. Hei hian nasa takin a chhiartute thinlungah thu a sawi a, kan hriat loh karah kan nun a lo kaihruai ṭhin.
Zikpuii Pa 'CC Coy No 27' te, 'Nunna kawng ṭhuampui-ah' te, C.Laizawna 'Anita' te, Dr.H.Lallungmuana 'Hmangaih Zoramthangi' te, Khawlkungi 'Zawlpala thlantlang' te leh thawnthu tam tak hian nunkawng min kawhhmuh a, chhelna leh beiseina min siamsak ṭhin.

(f) Inhnemna ṭha ber literature:
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822) chuan, 'Kan hla duh ber ber te hi kan lungngaihna hril chhuaktu hla te hi an ni,' (Our sweetest songs are those that tells of saddest thought) tiin a lo sawi a. Mizo te phei chu khawhar chhungte leh mitthi chhung te kan hnem theihna sang ber chu kan sûnna hla te a ni ṭhin. Kan khawhar hla leh lengkhawm hla te hian lung-ngaihna tawrh a tinep a, min hnem ṭhin. Fak hla siamtu ropui Patea (1894 - 1950) chuan khawhar chhungte leh lungngaite tana inhnemna tlak, tun thlenga Mizo te thinlunga chuai thei lo chu a phuah chhuak a,

'Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust,' tiin.
(g) Beiseina siamtu literature:
Charles Bukowski chuan literature tel lo chuan hringnun hi hremhmun ni maiah a ngai a, 'Without literature, life is hell' a ti. Literature hian nun hahchawlhna te, hlimna te a pek piah lamah beiseina a la hlui lehzel a, mi beidawngte tlûkluhna chu literature a ni cháwk.
