Historical Materialism is a scientific social history view,and it is a "real empirical science".The viewpoints of Marx and Engels on the objective and subjective dimensions of history constitute the dual dimensions of Historical Materialism.For Historical Materialism,the core of historical objective dimension is objective law,and the core of subjective dimension of history is subjective activity.The two restrict each other and influence each other,and they are dialectically unified in "real people and their activities".Mao Zedong was a great Marxist.His view of history is Historical Materialism.His view of history also has the dual dimensions and dialectical relations of Historical Materialism,and he has carried out theoretical innovation and practical application of Historical Materialism in many aspects.The overview of Mao Zedong's outlook on history is the entry point of the dual dimensions of Mao Zedong's view of history.There are basically five basic issues:the definition of the basic concepts,the course of development,the value orientation,the important status and the sinicization of Marxist view of History.History,View of History,and Historical Materialism are the basic conceptual categories of Mao Zedong's view of history;Mao Zedong's view of history experienced a development from a Historical Idealism to Historical Materialism;The value orientation of Mao Zedong's view of history is human freedom and liberation;Mao Zedong's view of history is a model of the Marxist view of history in China,and draws on some reasonable elements of Chinese traditional culture and Western ideas;Mao Zedong's view of history has promoted the historical process of Marxism in China and has guided the practice of Chinese revolution and construction.It has an important historical position.The viewpoints of Mao Zedong on the objective and subjective dimensions of history constitute the two dimensions of Mao Zedong's view of history.Mao Zedong believes that there are some objective factors in historical development that are not based on human will.Historical development has objective laws.First,historical development has the objective conditions,which are mainly the material basis and natural conditions.Second,historical development has an objective impetus.Social basic contradictions drive the development of history.Third,historical development has an objective process.There is a trend of progress that can be divided into several stages.Mao Zedong believes that people have room for subjective activity in objective history.First,historical subjects can actively create in history,and the people are the creators of history.Second,people can set and pursue their purposes in history.Third,in the "possibility space" provided by historical inevitability,historical subjects can choose a specific historical road.The dual dimensions of Mao Zedong's view of history is a dialectical unity.There is room for subjective activity in the objective historical laws.There is an objective limit in the subjective activity of historical subject.The two are dialectically unified in practice.Mao Zedong's view of history has important practical enlightenment and contemporary values for exploring the laws of Marxism in China,deepening the theoretical research of historical materialism,and resisting Historical Nihilism.
