Under the advocacy and practice of Mao Zedong, from the end of 1960 to the first half of 196 1, a large-scale investigation and research activity was launched among the whole party in China, especially the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and leading cadres at all levels.
What happened:
1960 65438+February 24th to196165438+10/3 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a working meeting in Beijing. Mao Zedong believes that all kinds of mistakes in the national economic work are due to the subjectivism and one-sidedness of thinking methods caused by neglecting the investigation and research work. On the last day of the meeting, Mao Zedong delivered a speech, calling on the whole party to restore the tradition of seeking truth from facts and investigating and studying, vigorously carrying forward the wind of investigating and studying, and proceeding from reality, making 196 1 a year of seeking truth from facts and investigating and studying. 196 1 on March 23rd, 2008, the Central Committee sent a letter to the central bureaus and party committees of all provinces and cities, and attached Mao Zedong's article "Investigation Work", stressing that "everything should proceed from reality, without investigation, there is no right to speak, and investigation must be the first criterion for the thoughts and actions of all party cadres", requiring party committees at or above the county level.
Under the call of Mao Zedong and the Central Committee, the whole Party has formed an atmosphere of investigation and research. Mao Zedong sent three investigation teams from Tian Jiaying, Hu Qiaomu and Chen Boda to investigate in rural areas of Zhejiang, Hunan and Guangdong, and personally went to the Jin-Pu, Zhejiang-Jiangxi and Beijing-Guangzhou lines for a month. Liu Shaoqi went to Hunan, Zhou Enlai to Hebei, Zhu De to East China provinces and Guangdong, Chen Yun to Shanghai, Deng Xiaoping and Peng Zhen to Beijing suburbs and other places for investigation. Party and government officials from the central bureaus, ministries and commissions in the State Council, provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions went deep into the grass-roots investigation, and the contents of the investigation expanded from rural issues to industrial, commercial, scientific and educational issues. On this basis, the central government has formulated regulations on agriculture, industry, commerce, education, literature and art.
The trend of investigation and research in Daxing has restored the party's ideological line of seeking truth from facts to a certain extent and effectively promoted the adjustment of the party's economic policy. The work regulations formulated through investigation and study have important theoretical significance and practical value.
