From Mao Zedong's Ideal Of "Da Tong" To Deng Xiao-ping's Society Of "Xiao Kang"

DaTong, XiaoKang, which was pursued by Chinese peoplethousands of years, is the social ideal of aspiration, which practicallyand constantly has inspirited up Chinese generators to strive for anddeeply had a profound impact on Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.The similar views between DaTong and Marxist communist ideals notonly were accepted by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and so on, whoare outstanding people, but also bridged for the establishment ofcommunist ideal. To combine the basic principles of Marxism, MaoZedong has given a new scientific content to the ideal of DaTong andpictured the goal realizing communism community of DaoTong. Afterthe Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, DengXiaoping has combined the basic principles of Marxism with a newscientific conception and posed a target in the realization of a well-offsociety. Of course as the Marxist, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaopinghave regarded Communism DaTong Community as the ultimate goaland maximum program. Simultaneously, for realizing this maximumprogram, they have established different short-term goals andminimum program verifying from different historical periods' s maintask, and have realized the reunification of maximum program andminimum program.The victory of Chinese revolution and the establishment of thesocialism system have provided a solid ensuring for Mao Zedong andDeng Xiaoping realizing the communist ideal. So how to build thesocialist society, the choice of what kind of socialism model ofdevelopment has become an important topic in front of them, which isrelated to the existence and development of socialism, and therealization of the ideal of communist society in China. Because oftheir different historical backgrounds and different conditions, focusing on short-term goals in the social ideal and socialistdevelopment model chose around such objectives, Mao Zedong andDeng Xiaoping showed a different ideal: in the near-term objectives,Mao Zedong has gotten more attention in the recent realization of"Datong", "running into communism", in his later years, DengXiaoping also has stressed that while the main building is a socialistwell-off, and will march into the Communism Datong World afterlatterly; in the socialist mode of development, focusing on theshort-term goal, from Mao Zedong to Deng Xiaoping, thedevelopment model of Chinese socialism has undergone a greathistorical transformation.In the course of exploring China's socialism development model,Mao Zedong has obtained a rich theoretical result, and enriched anddeveloped Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought. However, in lateryears, he gradually has formed a idea of "socialism ideal mode ofdevelopment", due to including traditional Chinese "Great Harmony"negative factors and other influence. Practice has proven that thismodel is not in line with China's national conditions, which cannotexplore an appropriate modal for the characteristic of China'ssocialism, instead, the development of socialism has gotten a serioussetback as the gradual emergence of a rigid system lacking of vigorand vitality, before the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC CentralCommittee. However, after that committee, Deng Xiaoping started anew exploration. He put forward the goal of building a well-offsociety, which realized the organic unity of the ideal and the reality ofa communism "Great Harmony", based on the reflection on theexploration of Mao Zedong and the accurate positioning of the currentstage of China's socialism. Advancing the goal of building a well-offsociety has pointed out the direction to explore socialism developmentmodel for the Communist party of China. In the process of exploration,Deng Xiaoping has gradually changed the rigid system, which was formed under the leadership of Mao Zedong in his later years: in thedevelopment power and way, it has realized from "take the classstruggle as the outline" to "take the economic development as thecenter"; in the assignment way and in the pursuit of value, it hasrealized the transformation from the universal poor egalitarianism toallowing part of people, part of areas to be firstly rich, finallyrealizing the common enrichment; in the economic system, it hasrealized the transformation from the traditional planned economy tothe development socialist market economy; politically, it has realizedtransformation from the high degree of concentration political systemto promotions of the socialist democracy and the legal system, withgreat effort, and the construction of high democracy,the highlycivilized socialism government by law society; in the question of thetreatment of cultural heritage between the Chinese and the foreign, it.has realized the transformations in large numbers from "breaks offthoroughly" between "the feudal, the capital, the correctional" and theChinese and foreign civilized achievement to the advocacy ofinheriting universe's all outstanding civilized achievements toconstructing high socialist spiritual civilization; in the treatmentintellectual question, it is "the stinking nine category" transformsfrom the repel intellectual to the affirmation of the intellectual of apart of working class, emphasized highly "the science and technologyis the first productive forces", proposed policy of "the respectknowledge, respects the talented person"; in the external condition, ithas realized the transformation from sealed up or half to theomni-directional multi-level opening to the outside world, and thisformed ultimately a model of the development of socialism withChinese characteristics and realized the great changes of a choice inChina's socialism development model.Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, on the exploration ofsocialism mode of development, have left many inspirations: insisting on emancipation our minds the ideological line of seeking truth fromfacts and advancing with the times; correct view of Marxism and theChinese traditional culture; mode selection from the current stage ofsocialist development and China's national conditions; respecting theobjective laws of socialism construction; upholding the ideals andpractical realities of reunification.Turn of the century, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, as representedby the CPC Central Committee, have put forward a well-off society inan all-round progress and the development goals of building asocialist harmonious society, which has enriched and promoted DengXiaoping's thinking of well-off society, but also showed that theChinese Communist Party's struggled for a better social ideal by itself.The Chinese people will, under the leadership of the ChineseCommunist Party, under the guidance of Marxism and the scientificconcept of development, firmly along the path of a model of thedevelopment of socialism with Chinese characteristics to a betterworld of communist Datong, move forward!...
