Mao Zedong's Research On The Function And Methodology Of Historiography

MAO Zedong,a Marxist-Leninist,knew Chinese history well.Compared with the general historians,MAO Zedong's research on history is not limited to the simple description and summary of historical ontology,historical subjectivism and historical methodology,but more about the application of experience and lessons from the long history to The Chinese revolution and construction.Historical existence,independent of some will of any single person,is real.Historiography is a special subject that emphasizes the objective truth and reflects the past of human society.This objective nature requires researchers to treat history with a true attitude.When we study the history of the objective process of human society,we should first establish a correct view of history.The establishment and persistence of historical materialism is the cornerstone of the formation and development of MAO Zedong's historical thought.On the basis of a large amount of historical materials,the author studies the "seeking truth" of individual historical facts and the "seeking truth" of the overall historical process.We should bear the lessons of history in mind,take history as a mirror,combine the objective laws of history with our own subjective initiative,and pay attention to the important role of the people in the long history.In historical research,the most fundamental method and attitude is to seek truth from facts and proceed from reality.Under the guidance of The Marxist theory of class struggle,we should attach importance to the historical research of class revolution and analyze the prominent role of class struggle in the historical process.It is believed that historical research should be analyzed and understood in the process of historical connection and historical development,and the research on historical events and historical figures should also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.The whole human history should be studied in a comprehensive and comparative way,ancient and modern,Chinese and foreign.After becoming a marxist,Mao Zedong to the basic principles of marxist theory as a guide,think are doing research,and will not be able to study alone in their own subjective imagination,not self-righteous what defines research into what,also not only their own vigor or on a whim,or some die reading those words written on it alone book class.A Marxist who truly leans down to do research should,on the basis of objective facts,make a detailed study of relevant research materials and valuable historical data,and seek correct conclusions under the guidance of the basic principles and theories of Marxism.Seek the truth of history in the vicissitudes of history,and explore the laws of history in the wind and rain of history.
