The Research Of Mao Zedong Water Conservancy Thought And The Contemporary Value

Water is the source of life, the key of production and the base of ecology, which is the necessary material resource of human life. Currently, under the dual factors of global climate change and the development of large-scale natural intertwined, the Chinese water resource situation will be even more severe, furthermore, floods and droughts are still frequent, all of which will cause a great deal of influence on national economic development and people's living. So it has important practical significance to research how to break the bottleneck of the water resources for economic development Water conservancy construction guidance by Mao Zedong and other leaders in the old society riddled and the poor and weak China had played an important role. Through the studying of Mao Zedong Water thought and summing up the experiences of older generation leaders like Mao Zedong how to develop water conservancy and govern of major rivers in the frequent natural disasters and economic development of backward historical conditions, we can learn from them and rethink the relationship between water resources and the environment, economy and population, thus do better to guide the current water management practices and improve water conservancy construction.Because Mao himself hadn't analyzed his water thought systematically, so this paper will lay the development of Mao Zedong Water thought as main line. Through the full collecting Mao Zedong's speech and practice information about water, and at the base of examining its theoretical origins and historical practice, we will refine the main contents and characteristics of Mao Zedong Water thought. Through in-depth summarizing of its historical role, we can carry out a number of proposals of contemporary water conservancy construction in China and do a systematic study of Mao Zedong Water thought. The full text is divided into five chapters:The first chapter, we firstly define the two important concepts of Mao Zedong Thought and Mao Zedong water thought. On this basis, starting from the social environment and cultural and educational point of Mao Zedong, we summe up his water thought from two aspects, they are Marx and Engels' Ecological Thought and Chinese traditional water management thought and practice. Influenced by these two aspects, Mao Zedong water thought had germinated in the early Revolutionary War Period.The second chapter discusses that on the basis of full understanding of the water, Mao Zedong considered that we should have a dialectical view of the relationship of water conservancy and water damage, and the Water is the lifeblood of agriculture. Mao Zedong always treated flood event as the first importance. He proposed a series of water control ideas and approaches in the early years, such as comprehensive utilization of research, emphasis on scientific and rational use of water. In the process of guiding water practice, his water conservancy thought had been developed and improved continuously.The third chapter, Chapter III, with the overall summary of Mao Zedong Water Thought, according to Mao Zedong's long-term water management practice; we refine three important water control features and make the scientific proof through specific examples. These three important characteristics are throughout the Mao Zedong water management practice, from the small water conservancy projects in his youth to the construction of large reservoirs in his old age.The fourth chapter, throughout the revolutionary war and China's economic construction period, Mao Zedong's water management practice always followed the principle of seeking truth from facts and given the different flood thoughts, which is a valuable asset for our party of water conservancy construction and has an important role in guiding our ecology Civilization. Mao Zedong Water Thought had played a positive role in promoting the prevailing economic and social development. Meanwhile, this paper also pointed out that Mao Zedong water conservancy thought was the product of specific historical conditions, we should look at it from a developed view.The fifth chapter, Mao Zedong Water thought doesn't only have an important era meaning, but also has a guide on the current water conservancy construction. So this article will sum up the guiding significance and enlightenment of Mao Zedong water thought about conservancy construction and flood control culture, as well as the rational use of water resources.There are three innovations of this paper. First, the origin of Mao Zedong water thought is divided into the traditional Chinese water management ideas and Marx and Engels' view of nature; second, through different periods of Mao Zedong's remarks on water conservancy construction and action, the paper summarizes the characteristics of Mao Zedong Water thought, which is a highly condensed summary of the water thought of Mao Zedong; third, we measure the effectiveness of water conservancy construction and rehabilitation under the guidance of Mao Zedong since the founding of nation by economic benefits, and make the comparison of different provinces in irrigation, power generation, soil and water conservation aspects.
