Mao Zedong's Inheritance, Innovation And Research Of Chinese Traditional Philosophy

On the basis of the domestic and overseas research on Mao Zedong's inheritance and innovation to Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese traditional philosophy, "Mao Zedong's inheritance, innovation and research of Chinese traditional philosophy" is born, which is the special paper on studying the relationship between Mao Zedong and Chinese traditional philosophy from extensive point of view, omnidirectionally, comprehensively and systematically. The paper indicates that under Marxist Philosophy's guidance, based on the proposition of Chinese traditional philosophy, Mao Zedong amalgamated Marxist Philosophy and Chinese traditional philosophy systematically, made Marxism be philosophy and brought forward modern point of view on Chinese philosophy. It will illuminate the viewpoint from the following four aspects:Part I is Mao Zedong's inheritance of Chinese traditional philosophy in his youth. It basically indicates that Chinese philosophy's Ontology, epistemology, dialectics and historical viewpoint made a great impact on young Mao Zedong. That period, he had a profound theoretic level of traditional philosophy, which left a distinct trace on him. He even grafted view directly from traditional philosophy and had obvious trend to idealist metaphysics. However, young Mao.Zedong's thought for revolution is very clear and his claim of "The first step to revolution is changing philosophy" is brightly. It's just the effect of traditional philosophy on him established the solid foundation of his philosophy thought in his later life.Part II is Mao Zedong's inheritance of Chinese traditional philosophy in his adult period. In Revolution, Agrarian Revolution, especially the Yan'an period, after the full contact with Marxist Philosophy, Mao Zedong changed into the chief of Communist Party and a firm Marxism from a youth with distinct idealism.Part III is Mao Zedong's innovation of Chinese traditional philosophy in his adult period. It mainly indicates Mao Zedong's innovation and sublimation of Chinese traditional philosophy on the basis of inheritance, especially, he divided Chinese traditional philosophy into two, then the viewpoint of "The universality and particularity of contradiction" comes into being; he sublimed "Circle of life is keeping changing", then the standpoint of "metabolism is the inviolable law in the universe" formed; he sublimed "Seeking truth from facts", then changed an academic proposition into the core subject of epistemology and regarded it as the ideological line of our Communist Party; he sublimed "People is worshipful while emperor is basebred", the cognition of "Takes mass line " was formed; he sublimed "The relationship between emperor and People is just as the fish to water ", the practical purposes of "Serve the people wholeheartedly " took shape; he sublimed "People-oriented", the Materialism of "Military and People is essential to victory" formed.Partâ…£is Mao Zedong's contribution and limitation to Chinese traditional philosophy. His contribution to Chinese traditional philosophy is:He made revolutionary transformation to Chinese tradition by virtue of Marxist philosophy, which inspired vigor to Chinese revolution and promoted the modernization process of Chinese traditional philosophy; especially he updated the formation of Chinese traditional philosophy, made revolutionary transformation to the basic elements of Chinese traditional philosophy by the method of "Select the refined and discard the crude". At the same time, this part also indicates Mao Zedong's revolutionary transformation to epistemology, dialectics and historical viewpoint of ancient China, and then the final conclusion is:through the inheritance and innovation of Chinese traditional philosophy, on one hand, Mao Zedong made Marxism localized in China; on the other hand, he achieved the modernization of Chinese philosophy and added the essence of traditional Chinese philosophy into the Marxist philosophy. It's his most contribution to Chinese traditional philosophy.This part also studied Mao Zedong's limitation to the development of Chinese traditional philosophy in his later years. He propelled the contradiction into extreme, between belligerence and unity, he thought belligerence was absolute and inevitable, so he got the conclusion:"Endless enjoyment follows while one fights with God, Earth and Human" and "A bright world comes before you keep fighting". He even regarded the conclusion as the practice guidance. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in particular the ten years of chaos, it was a big pity that conflicts made everybody complain. Another pity was that he propelled the roll of practice into extreme and over-emphasized its effect while which actually showed his empiricism trend. The greatest regret was that he propelled "People-oriented" traditional culture into extreme. He encouraged the mass movement, which eventually developed into anarchy and uncontrolled. The base of epistemology in Great Leap Forward, and ten years of chaos was "People-oriented" and "People is the pioneering spirit".Through the research, the Philosophy theory of Mao Zedong was extensive and profound. Chairman Mao, who was proficient in traditional philosophy of China, Committed to the revolutionary reconstruction for China through his whole life, he got great success finally. The basic epistemology for success was the completion of the sinicized of Marxism and the modernization of Chinese philosophy. It was the Marxist philosophy with Chinese style, created by Mao Zedong, with the form of Marxist philosophy and the details of Chinese philosophy, becomes the guidance of Chinese revolution, which played a very important role in the process of success from success. This is the conclusion.
