Research On Mao Zedong's View Of People And Its Contemporary Value

Mao Zedong's view of the people is an important part of Mao Zedong's thought.The traditional Chinese people-oriented thought,the "people" in the modern Western democratic concept and the Marxist view of the people are the theoretical resources of Mao Zedong's view of the people.The direct cause of the formation of Mao Zedong's view of the people.To study Mao Zedong's view of the people,we must first clarify what "people" are.The concept of "people" in the context of ancient China."People" and "people" were two words that were clearly different at the beginning.They are not simple.They can be superimposed together to express the same meaning.In the meantime,people gradually enriched the concept of "people".Before the advent of Marxism,most Western philosophers only studied the concept of "people".Although they promote democracy through various theoretical methods,in essence,the people's dominant position is not recognized at all.Social history The answer to the question of what the subject is is always vague.The Marxist view of the people criticizes feuerbach,powell and others' ideas from the perspectives of human nature and history,and thinks that their ideas are "imaginary activities of imaginary subjects." As far as social history is concerned,it is essentially the product of activities with the people as the main body,and it is also based on the promotion of the objective world process by human activities with the people as the main body.Mao Zedong's view of the people was gradually formed on the basis of absorbing the essence of traditional Chinese culture and foreign culture,and on the premise of absorbing the Marxist view of the people,combined with the Chinese revolution and specific national conditions.With the development of the times and the needs of reform,Mao Zedong's view of the people is gradually glowing with new political colors.During the War of Resistance Against Japan,Mao Zedong divided the standards of the enemy and friends.He believed that everything that is not conducive to the struggle against Japan is the enemy and does not belong to the category of the people,and all the groups and classes that jointly resisted Japan belong to the category of the people.During the war of liberation,the reactionaries such as landlords were the enemy,not the people.Those who united against these reactionaries belonged to the people.During the period of socialist construction,those who support socialism belong to the category of the people.Those who oppose socialism and even destroy it are the enemies,not the category of the people.That isto say,the concept of the people has different contents in different countries and different historical periods of each country.Mao Zedong's view of the people has a very distinctive style,characteristics and courage.It shows obvious theoretical characteristics,practical characteristics,historical characteristics and political characteristics.It has a perfect system,extensive revolution,distinctive times and profound class nature.The essentials of Mao Zedong's view of people— historical power,mass line,people's interest,and people's democracy—are the intrinsic nature,concrete expression,value orientation,and core ideas of Mao Zedong's view of people.For a long time,Mao Zedong's view of the people has provided strong ideological support for the victory of China's revolution and construction,it is a practical guide for building socialism with Chinese characteristics,and it has provided a valuable ideological reference for its successors.Therefore,to study Mao Zedong's view of the people is not only the need to scientifically guide the construction and reform of socialism with Chinese characteristics,but also the need to insist that the people be the masters and seek happiness for the people.
