Research On Mao Zedong’s Thought Of Socialist New Rural Construction

Rural construction is a problem that Mao Zedong attaches great importance to,and it is also a problem that our Party has explored and solved tirelessly for one hundred years.It is related to the practical implementation of the Party’s "people-centered" values and the true realization of the "Chinese Dream" of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Mao Zedong’s thinking and practice on the construction of socialist new countryside is the first step of our party to explore the construction of socialist countryside and has laid the foundation for our party to continue to explore what kind of countryside to build and how to build the countryside.Therefore,in the historical intersection period of "two centenaries",we try to study Mao Zedong’s thought of socialist new rural construction systematically,which has important theoretical and practical significance for us to carry out the rural revitalization strategy deeply.Mao Zedong’s thought of socialist new rural construction originated from Marx,Engels,Lenin,Stalin and other marxist classical writers’ thoughts about rural construction,but also from his practice of rural revolutionary base construction in the period of new democratic revolution and the practice of leading rural construction in the transitional period.He presided over by setting The National Agricultural Development Program from 1956 to 1967 and The working Regulations of Rural People’s Communes,both of them are the programmatic document in the process of constructing a socialist new rural,By which he depicts a wealthy,civilized,beautiful,happy blueprint of a new socialist countryside for five hundred million farmers and set up the system of regulations for the construction of new countryside.At the same time,he discussed the basic thought of rural construction from five aspects of economy,politics,culture,society and ecology,and put it into practice.In terms of economic construction,he established the socialist development direction of agriculture by Agricultural Cooperation Movement,and improved agricultural productivity,promoted stable grain yield and increased farmers’ living standards by innovating agricultural farming technology,planning of rural industrial layout,and the arrangement of agricultural production structurerational.In the aspect of political construction,he started from three aspects of strengthening the construction of rural grassroots party organizationthe,rural grassroots political power and farmers’ ideological and political education to strengthen the party’s leadership of rural work;In terms of cultural construction,he promoted rural cultural construction by developing rural education to cultivate new farmers,developing and popularizing agricultural science and technology,strengthening rural cultural infrastructure construction,enriching farmers’ cultural and artistic activities and carrying out patriotic health campaigns.In terms of social construction,he promoted social fairness and civilized harmony from three aspects: establishing and perfecting rural income distribution system,placing the emphasis of medical and health work on rural areas,and establishing new socialist customs in rural areas.In the aspect of ecological construction,he made a preliminary exploration on the rural ecological construction from four aspects: greening the countryside,transforming the flood into water conservancy,alleviating the population pressure and rationally exploiting and utilizing the resources.Mao Zedong’s idea of building a new socialist countryside and his intention to build a beautiful countryside must be affirmed.In addition,he has made great achievements and accumulated positive experiences in his exploration.But at the same time,it must be admitted that in the process of his exploration of the construction of a new socialist countryside,there are some deviations and mistakes that violate objective laws,deviate from the main line of economic construction and do not carry out the correct policy in place.Of course,both his positive experiences and mistakes are of great inspiration to the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy in the new era.
