The first important prerequisite of ideological remoulding is ideological criticism. Only when we make an overall criticism to traditional ideology can we transform it thoroughly. Since in the modern times, the gradual developing and deepening process of the ideological trend was demonstrated by ideological ait icism, such as landlord class reformists * criticism of man' s thoughts and custom s, bourgeois reformists' moral criticism, overall criticism in the May Fourth Movement, etc.From the elementary to the profound, Mao Tse- rung made an overall criticism in C hinese ideology in five aspects such as Chinese traditional mode of thinking, value senses, moral concepts, social psychology, mode of behavior, etc. He thought that Chinese traditional mode of thinking was pragmatic rational of the mean , it formed Chinese value senses of bureaucrat departmental selfishness sense, social estate sense and privilege sense. It also formed Chinese extreme individualism moral senses. They together constituted the crux of national spirit and formed the concrete manifestation of national inherent 晈eakness in national social psychology, such as sensibilities sense, prestige sense, hypocrite characteristi cs, Ah Q spirit, etc. All these were gradually transformed people's habits, such as stressing the past but not the present, slackness and other unhealthy customs.On the basis of ideological criticism, Mao Tse - tung sketched his ideal personality. Namely, overcoming the thinking mode of pragmatism rational of the mean and cultivating practical and realistic rational mode of thinking, abandoning traditional values and setting the people's own departmental ism values of serve the people wholeheartedly, eliminating moral concepts of extreme individualism and forming moral concepts of socialist collectivism, removing the unhealthy deviation from social psychology and customs and forming new spirit and atmosphere of soti alist masters.

R. C. had realized the transformation of Chinese value and moral concepts and customs, fulfilled the historic turn of Chinese personality from semi - colonial semi - feudal personality to modern socialist personality.In an overall view, Mao Tse - tung's thoughts of ideological remoulding after the founding of the P. R. C. were the pluralistic modernity of words and practice of man's modernization theory, which had gotten rid of the theoretical predicament of modern thoughts trend of nationality transformation. His theory' s inner historical and logical unity decided the characteristic of his theory, such as modernity, practicality, nationalism and class character, and so on. It's the integration of Marxism theory of man's modernization with China's reality and the important theoretical achievements of the integration of Marxism with China' s reality. The practical process of Mao Tse - rung's ideological remoulding after the founding of the P. R. C. was exactly the process of the integration of Marxism th eory of man's modernization with China's reality. Its exploration, development, success and error had been a red thread running through the entire process.Through researching his thoughts and practices, we discovered that even t...
