It was Mao Zedong thought on the m ass line gestated and formed before the foundation of PRC that not only summarized his experience of the mass work before 1949, but also laid the foundation for the work m ethods of the Party, which is available to drawing historical experience, inheriting and developing the excellent tradition on Mao Zedong’s views on the mass work, as well as to recognizing the current situation, following and practicing the m ass line consciously and firmly.Taking Mao Zedong’s thought on the m ass line before the foundation of PRC as the research topic, the paper deliberates upon the de velopment, source, key contents, scientific connotation and significance on the m ass line with literature research method and historical analysis method, among focusing on the enlighte nment for the Party m ass work at the new period. The formation and development of Mao Zedong thought on the mass line is a tortuous history, consisting of these th ree stages, germination period, evolution period and m aturity period. In the course of theoretical d evelopment, Mao Zedong made a scientific definition of “the masses”, and then initiated complete concepts, including “All for masses, put one’s heart and soul into serving the pe ople” “All re ly on masses, believe in th e masses and their liberation” “From the m asses, learn from the masses of the peop le” “To the m asses, responsible for people”. Mao Zedong thought on the mass line indeed has great significances during the Revolutionary W ar, respectively accounted for two aspects that on one hand, for the theoretical one, Mao Zedong thought on the m ass line inherits and enriches Marxist’s perceptions on the m asses to build up scientific theoretical basis for Mao Zedong thought, promote the transformation process of the Marx doctrine with Chinese characteristics, and even lay the foundation for the shaping and developm ent of the Party construction theory; on the other hand, for the realistic one, it also has an access to a reliable ally to establish the solid mass base, consolidate the ruling status, and provide a scientific m ethodology guidance for advancing the great cause of the Party.Mao Zedong’s Thought on the mass line did not only play an important role in the period of the Revolutionary War, but today also exerts a tremendous influence on bettering the mass work for the Party and realizing the Chin ese dream. Thus, our Party should not only strengthen the establishment on ideology, work style, and system, but also innovate working ideas and enhance the ties with the public through various ways.
