The Research On The Thought Of First Generation Of The Communist Party Of China

With economic globalization continually advancing, the world economy has been developing rapidly, and life of people in all countries has been generally improved. While at the same time, a series of ecological problems have also emerged. As a global issue, the ecological problem has seriously affected the development of the world economy,and threatened people’s health, both physically and mentally. Therefore,environmental problem is becoming a hot issue attracting international community, a game of new focus. As a result, countries exploring the green development will get advantages in a new round of international competition. As a major developing country, China should take the responsibility of protecting ecological environment with all other countries and regions in the world, and regard it as the duty of our government and people. The construction of ecological civilization has been put to a more prominent position, blending in economic construction,political construction, cultural construction, social construction, which then form the total layout of "five one". The fifth plenary session of the18 th CPC central committee has put forward five development philosophies including green development, and made strategic plan on adhering to the green development and striving to improve the ecological environment. At the same time, that also put forward higher requirementsfor the study of ecological civilization.The first generation of collective leadership of the communist party of China, whose core leader is Comrade Mao Zedong, the idea of ecological civilization has been developed, which is the basis of the development and maturation of today’s ecological civilization thought.Under such circumstance, this paper makes a research on the ecological civilization thought of China’s first generation of collective leadership from the angle of history by using literature research method, method in combination of logic and history, method in combination of theory and practice, and systematic analysis method. First, this paper makes an in-depth excavation of the Marxist ecological view, and ancient Chinese ecological philosophy thought and its social background, which makes it possible to find theoretical basis and ideological roots; Second, this paper studies the main content of ecological civilization thought of China’s first generation of collective leadership, including the four aspects of the water conservancy, forestry, population and resources. Among them, water conservancy part mainly talks about the deep understanding of the first generation of leading collective of the CPC on the importance of water control, based on which they focus on making a radical control of rivers,and also creatively proposed the south-to-north water diversion project;forestry ideology part mainly deals with the thought of the first generation of leading collective of the CPC in terms of a forestation and logging; population thought mainly includes population policies and methods dealing with population problems in different periods; resources thought mainly discusses how these leaders alleviated resources shortage with the help of saving existing resources and development of new resources.According to the analyses of the above resources, we’ve got somemain experience: to improve public participation and supervision mechanism, to formulate policies based on reality, not to stick in the past,and to play the positive role of science and technology for the improvement of the ecological environment; We’ve still got some lessons of history: those leaders failed to implement their policies constantly,ignored the objective law of nature, exaggerated their subjective initiative,and failed to involve ecological civilization into the overall national development. All of that puts forward some enlightenment to today’s construction of ecological civilization: Seeking truth from facts,respecting and conforming to the objective laws are the forerunner of ecological civilization construction; co-construction and sharing is its source of strength; giving priority to conservation and protection is its fundamental part; overall consideration is its intrinsic request; governance in accordance with the law is its guarantee. Finally, at the end, this paper repeated the main ideas of this article and made a brief description of the shortcomings that failed to be promptly corrected.In a word, this paper focuses on the research of thoughts of the first generation of collective leadership of CPC on ecological civilization,sums up the successful and unsuccessful experience, and proposes some suggestions by analyzing the ecological civilization thought of that era, in the hope of boosting ecological civilization construction.
