A Study On The Concept Of ’Feudalism’ In CPC Theory(1919-1949)

"Feudalism" is an important core concept in the theory of the CPC.As a word with a long history in China,the connotation and extension of the concept of "feudalism" in the Context of the Communist Party of China are greatly different from its classical meaning.Obviously,the concept of "feudalism" has been extended in modern times.In fact,even after the Revolution of 1911,in the process of discussing how to solve many practical political problems in China,the concept of "feudalism" has always represented the decentralized form of government,the political system opposed to autocracy,and the era in which this form of system was implemented.At that time,the concept of "feudalism" still maintained its classical meaning,and the concept itself was not derogatory.Around the rise of the May 4th New Culture Movement,under the inspiration of the new trend of thought,the new intellectuals advocating democratic republican thought began to re-evaluate the traditional Chinese culture and thought,and launched a fierce game in the field of political thought with those who emphasized the rules and ethics.The privileged politics of "feudal system" and the patriarchal clan thoughts of "feudal age" were regarded as the representatives of the old culture and became the objects of criticism because they restricted the free development of individuals and hindered the progress of social civilization.Especially the new intellectuals represented by Chen duxiu,clear to Confucius Confucian moral and patriarchal custom for the mainstream values and way of life and the rights of "feudal" era,advocate civil administration opposed "republican" era,points out that Confucian ethics is a conservative authoritarian control political tool,a preliminary gives the concept of "feudal" ideological color.In the process of opposing the "feudal" warlord politics and the "feudal" non-modern production relations,the early communists completed the transformation of marxist political belief and promoted the establishment of the Communist Party of China with the common goal of promoting the Chinese social revolution.So far,the concept of "feudalism" in the context of the Communist Party of China backwardness,reactionary,its meaning has been extended.Since its establishment,the Communist Party of China has defined the revolutionary principles and policies in different periods and stages by using "feudalism" and related concept groups,and demonstrated the social nature of "semi-colonial and semi-feudal" in modern China from a theoretical perspective in the process of solving the dilemma of Chinese revolution.All classes and strata in the complex situation more clearly and accurately understand the object,task,motivation and nature of the Chinese revolution,increase the identity of the Communist Party of China and its political propositions,consolidate the leadership of the proletariat and the Communist Party of China,and promote the complete completion of the task of the revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudalism.During the period of the New-democratic revolution,the CPC derived from the concept of "feudalism" such core political concepts as "semi-colonial and semi-feudal","anti-imperialist and anti-feudal",and "new-democratic revolution",using which it systematically answered basic questions about the nature of China’s revolution,the objects of revolution,the driving force of revolution,and the revolutionary path.Outline the political,economic and cultural program of the Communist Party of China in this historical period,and then form the new democratic theory that scientifically guides the Chinese revolution and social development.Through the propaganda and interpretation of "feudal" political ideation and other discourse practices under the theoretical framework of new democracy,the above core political concepts were gradually recognized and recognized,and the meaning of "feudal" concept was made common sense,which made the political propositions of the Communist Party of China and the general values of the society reach a consensus.By combing the Chinese communist party in the ideological and theoretical evolution of the concept of "feudal" and the evolution of both associated with them,help to understand and grasp the "feudal" complex was also vary from person to person,and deepen the vivid and complex precipitation in the concept of Chinese modem history of the development process and the communist party of China development course of the ideological and cultural cognition.
