MaoZedong The Main Social Investigation And Contemporary Enlightenment After The Founding Of Country

Mao Zedong paid great attention to social investigation. Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he made many social investigation, and wrote many famous research papers. Through social investigation, Mao Zedong had a profound understanding of the rural class structure and the main contradiction of the society, and promoted the Chinese character the Marx doctrine. After the founding of the country, when the country’s economic difficulties and policy deviation occurred, Mao Zedong used social investigation to find out the situation and solving the problems. These investigations not only to to correct subjective ideas of errors in a certain extent for the party, to adjustand formulate correct policy, promote the development of national economy, play an important role in certain, but also development and improve the thought of social investigation in a certain extent. Based on Mao Zedong’s views and the academic community’s consensus, this paper took the agricultural cooperative social investigation, the nine months of 1958-1959, and the wind of the investigation in 1961 as the main research object, and we analyzed the main background, basic process and its main influence, and provided useful reference for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.In this paper, Mao Zedong’s attention to social investigation after the founding of the PRC clearly derived from the already formed a relatively mature social investigation experience and thought before the founding of the PRC. These experiences and thoughts of the source in Marxist historical materialism focus on social practice of traditional, Huxiang culture paying attention to the characteristics of the practical effect and other communist leaders influence factors were considered in this paper. It is worth mentioning that, Liu Shaoji’s investigation in the State Council directly inspired Mao Zedong. It was through the 34 Departments of the forum, that Mao Zedong wrote the "on the ten major ralations," Openning up the road of socialism with chinese characteristics.Academic circles have always been controversial to the evaluation of the main social investigation of Mao Zedong after the founding of the PRC. In this paper, we should distinguish the social investigation practice of Mao Zedong after the founding of the PRC and its ideological development. It should be distinguished from the objective effect of the social investigation and the limitation of the social investigation method. Mao Zedong made a lot of subjective mistakes in the process of agricultural cooperation, the great leap forward, the people’s commune, but these errors were not even mainly caused by the social investigation, but factors outside the social investigation. Overall, the main aspects of the impact of these investigations were good, playing a positive role to correct the wrong policy. Of course, the social investigations after the founding of the country were not good than before, the investigations were more or less with limitations, and some even had more serious problems, which made these investigations were not really solve the problem,sometimes played the a negative role.This paper considered, the main experience of Mao Zedong’s social investigation after the founding of the people’s Republic of China: Social investigation to adhere to the mass line; to overcome the bureaucracy in order to optimize the relationship between the party and the masses; the social investigation as the basis for the formulation of policies; advocate the social investigation of the senior cadres of the party. The main lesson or fault of the main: "Left" thinking of long-term flooding had not been fundamentally resolved; the understanding of socialism was limited, and the lack of administrative experience; inner party democracy had been destroyed and the lack of effective error correction mechanism; the investigation mechanism was not standardized, which violated the objective economic law and so on.After the founding of the PRC, Mao Zedong further enriched and improved their social investigation ideas on the basis of their social investigation practice. These ideas included: the investigation combining with the mass line and democratic centralism; insisting on continuing investigation; the combination of dismounting to view the flowers and glancing over things hurriedly and so on. Whether it was a successful experience or a failure lesson, was the valuable wealth that we can draw on today’s social investigation and research. Social investigation is the fine tradition of our party, but also the medium of realizing the Chinese Marx doctrine, insisting on and carrying forward this valuable tradition, for us to achieve a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the socialist modernization, realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, with ten points of significance. In this regard, the study of Mao Zedong’s social investigation after the founding of the PRC has more important theoretical and pratical significance.
