Lenin Oriental Theory was formed and developed in the process of Lenin's leadership in Russian's revolution and construction as well as his guidance to the other oriental less developed countries'revolution, it reveals the special laws of the Oriental backward countries'revolution and construction, plays an important role in guiding China's revolution and construction and has a major impact on the formation of Mao Zedong Thought. Analysing and researching the instrinsic link between Lenin's theory and Mao Zedong Thought, summarizing the historical experience that Mao Zedong makes use of Lenin's theory, have important theoretical and practical significance for us to further advance the process of Marxism in China and constantly open up the new situation to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.In this paper, with these methods, such as the horizontal research combining with longitudinal research theory combining with practice and comparative research, I deeply analyse and study the intrinsic link between the Lenin Oriental Theory and Mao Zedong Thought. Scientifically evaluate the theory's historical status in the forming of Mao Zedong Thought, summarize the historical experience that Mao Zedong got when he used Lenin Oriental Theory to solve the specific problems about China's revolution and construction and further explore the realities inspirasion that the theory gives us.In the first chapter, I analyse and research the scientific connotation of Lenin Oriental Theory and the historical condition that it spreads in China. Lenin Oriental Theory is a scientific theory, whose core is the doctrine of the colonial people, including the theory about the transitional period and the thought about socialist construction, which has striking revolutionary nature, prominent practicality and specific directivity. Lenin Oriental Theory is the enrichment and development of Marx and Engels Oriental Theory and it is also the theory arm of the oriental backward countries'revolution and construction.The contradictions between imperialism and the Chinese nation, Feudalism and the masses decide that achieving national independence and people's liberation is the main task of the Chinese revolution in modern times, the development of the Chinese revolution in modern times needs the scientific theory to guide it. The success of the Russian Revolution in October has a major impact on Chinese revolution; promoting Leninism's wide spread in China. The advanced intellectuals are the main body of spread, the advanced presses are the main channel of Leninism's earsly dissemination, the research community and publishing agencies are the dissemination platform.In the second chapter, I emphasise on analyzing and researching the instrinsic link between Lenin's doctrine about nations and colonies and the theory about the new democratic revolution. On the basis of Lenin's idea that the revolution in colonial and semi-colonial countries'main task is to oppose the Middle Age remnants, Mao Zedong pointed out the nature of the new democratic revolution is bourgeois-democratic revolution. In accordance with Lenin's idea that the proletariat must strive for the leadership right of the Democratic Revolution, Mao Zedong emphasized that the new democratic revolution must be led by the CPC. According to Lenin's idea about the farmers'important position in the Oriental backward countries, Mao Zedong pointed out that the Chinese revolution in fact is a peasant war led by the Party. Based on Lenin's idea about the stages of revolution development, Mao Zedong expounded that Chinese revolution must go on with two steps and analysed the relation between the democratic revolution and the socialist revolution.United front, armed sruggle and the party's construction are not only the three magic weapons of the success of the new democratic revolution, but also an important component of the new democratic revolution theory. Mao Zedong's theory about armed struggle is directly from Lenin's doctrine about violent revolution; Mao Zedong's united front theory stems from Lenin's idea that the proletariat must be consistent with the bourgeois in the period of democratic revolution; Mao Zedong's theory about building the party directly comes from Lenin's party-building theory.In the chapterâ…¢, I mainly analyze and research the interrelation between the doctrine of the transition period and the theory of the socialist transformation. Lenin's theory of the transitional period includes the reasonable content of the waitime communist policies and the new economic policies, the theory of state capitalism and the new economic policies are the core. On the basis of Lenin's theory of the transitional period, the CPC cemtral committee and Mao Zedong formulated the party's general line during the transitional period.The Chinese communists whose chief representative is Mao Zedong created a gradual transitional agricuture socialist transformation road, which is that construction and transformation go on at the same time, co-operative after the first mechanization from low-level to advanced. There are also some shortcomings in the process of Mao Zedong's use of Lenin's cooperative's thought: emphasizing production cooperation, neglecting the cooperation in the field of circulation; attaching importance to organize themselves, lighting the operation and management; valuing the enthusiasm that the peasants co-operate, lighting the individual economy's initiative.Mao Zedong realized successfully the peaceful redemption to the capitalist, enriched and developed Lenin's idea about state capitalism. Mao Zedong and Lenin's understanding is the same in the state capitalism's status, nature and its role in the transition to socialism, but there are some differences in the objects, forms and focus areas in the implementation of state capitalism.In the fourth chapter, I focus on exploring the relationship between Lenin's socialist construction idea and Mao Zedong's explosure to the road of China's socialist construction. Lenin's thought of socialist construction is the theoretical basis of Mao Zedong's explosure to the road of China's socialist construction. Combining Lenin's thought with China's realities, based on the Soviet Union's experience of socialist construction, Mao Zedong explored a preliminary socialist construction road that is in line with China's national conditions.The people's democratic dictatorship is consistent with China's national conditions, which is more comprehensive and accurate at the statement of concept, more democratic at the organizational form; more widely used and enriches and developes Lenin's theory about the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin's economic construction thought is the origin of Mao Zedong's economic construction theory. According to Lenin's idea that socialism must vigorously develop the productive forces, Mao Zedong combined Lenin's idea about industrialization with Chinese realities and put forword that we must shift our working focus to economic construction after the victory of the revolution. Mao Zedong explored a road to industrialization in China which is based on agriculture, whose main feature is industry-leading. Based on the succession of Lenin's thought about developing commodity economy, Mao Zedong put forward to make use of the law of value to develop socialist economy. Mao Zedong's theory of the socialist cultural construction and Lenin's cultural construction thought are the same strain relationship."Hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought content"is Lenin's thought's use and development in China, which is leading cultural construction according to the law of cultural construction."To people's services, services for the socialist countries"is the inheritance and development to Lenin's idea that socialist culture should service for millions of working masses."The past serve the present and foreign things serve China"is Lenin's thought that we should succeed critically all human achievements of civilization. Mao Zedong and Lenin come down in one continuous line about the idea of the ruling party building, they thought that the ruling party should improve the ability to lead economic construction; insisit the idea of governing for the people all the time; oppose the separatist activities in the party; strengthen the party's sense of urgency and raise the basic principles of opposing"the peaceful evolution".In the fifth chapter, I evaluate the relationship between Lenin Oriental Theory and Mao Zedong Thought from the overall. Lenin Oriental Theory is the important origin of Mao Zedong Thought; Mao Zedong Thought is the succession and development of Lenin Oriental Theory. Lenin's works have a great affect on Mao Zedong. Many theoretical views in Mao Zedong Thought are directly from Lenin Oriental Theory. In the way of thinking and languge style, Mao Zedong was also affected by Lenin. Mao Zedong thought enriched and developed Lenin's theory about democratic revolution in colonial countries, policy and strategy theory and the military strategy theory.Mao Zedong accumulated precious experience in the process of using Lenin's theory to solve the specific problems of Chinese revolution and construction: insisting on Lenin's theory's combination with Chinese realities; insisting on investigation and study; opposing dogmatism; insisting on theoretical innovation, among them, insisiting on the combination between Lenin's theory and Chinese realities is the basic experience that Mao Zedong got when he used and developed Lenin's theory. Of course, there are some shortcomings in Mao Zedong's use of Lenin Oriental Theory, such as, the big transition theory which confused the stages; misunderstanding the concept of bourgeo's rights; misusing the thesis of small producers; exaggerating the role of spiritual encouragement etc, these shortcomings were the important theoretical root of Mao Zedong's later years'errors. Lenin Oriental Theory still has important practical significance for building socialism with Chinese characteristics. The idea about the socialist construction in Lenin Oriental Theory is the important origin of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and supply a guide in methodology for constructing the socialism with Chinese characteristics, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics enriches and develops Lenin's idea about the socialist construction.
