Mao Zedong is the founder of Marxism in China. He not only put forward the proposition and task of Marxism in China, clarified the meaning of Marxism in China, pointed out the correct way of Marxism in China, and became the first person to put forward "Marxism in China"; In addition, he also walked in the forefront of Marxism in China, especially founded Mao Zedong Thought, which became the landmark achievement of Marxism in China, became the first person to practice Marxism in China, and made a historic contribution to Marxism in China.
First, put forward the proposition of Marxism in China. The proposal of China Marxism is the product of Mao Zedong's exploration of the revolutionary road suitable for China's national conditions. During the May 4th Movement, Li Dazhao and other early producers were keenly aware that Marxism should be combined with China's reality to guide China's revolution. Although we didn't use the concept of Marxism in China, we actually had the idea of Marxism in China. Since its birth, the China * * * Production Party has devoted itself to the practice of fierce revolutionary struggle. For a long time, there has been no serious discussion on how to use Marxism to guide the China Revolution. Therefore, the phenomenon of taking Marxism as a dogma has gradually grown stronger and stronger, and finally occupied a dominant position in the party, and even made three consecutive "Left" mistakes, which brought great harm to the revolution. During the twists and turns of China Revolution, Mao Zedong deeply realized the extreme importance of realizing Marxism in China. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee was held in September 1938. In his report on the new stage, Mao Zedong clearly put forward the task of "Marxism in China" for the first time. He pointed out that "Producer of China * * *" should learn to apply the theory of Marxism-Leninism to the specific environment of China, "to make it have the necessary China characteristics in every performance"; "Once the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism is combined with the concrete practice of the China revolution, the face of the China revolution will change." The proposition of "Marxism in China" became the * * * knowledge of the main leaders of the central government at that time, and became the * * * knowledge of the whole party after the Yan 'an rectification movement. Therefore, the proposition of "China Marxism" is not only an abstract concept based on the summary of China's revolutionary practical experience, but also reflects the high consciousness of China's * * * production party, especially Mao Zedong, to combine Marxism-Leninism with China's reality.
Secondly, it clarifies the meaning of Marxism in China. What is the China of Marxism? Although Mao Zedong did not give a clear definition to the word "seeking truth from facts", he clarified its basic meaning. He believes that "any thought, even the best thing, even Marxism–Leninism, will not work if it is not related to objective and practical things, if there is no need for objective existence, and if it is not mastered by the people." He emphasized that "Marxism must be combined with the specific characteristics of our country and can be realized through certain national forms." For the producers of China, "we should learn to apply the theory of Marxism-Leninism to the specific environment in China" and "we should concretize Marxism in China so that it has the necessary China characteristics in every performance, that is, we should apply it according to the characteristics of China". To sum up, Mao Zedong's point of view is: the so-called Marxism in China is the concretization of Marxism in China; Is to "apply Marxism according to the characteristics of China" and make it "have the characteristics of China in every performance". The core or essence of these expressions about the connotation of "China Marxism" is what Mao Zedong later called "the unity of Marxism–Leninism's theory and China's revolutionary practice", that is, seeking truth from facts and combining theory with practice.
Thirdly, it points out the correct way of Marxism in China. How to realize Marxism in China is also a problem that Mao Zedong is very concerned about. Mao Zedong believes that integrating theory with practice is the main way to China Marxism, and the key is innovation. Mao Zedong's integration of theory with practice includes two aspects: on the one hand, Marxism should be applied according to the characteristics of China. The so-called "China characteristics" means "China reality", including "China's historical reality and revolutionary reality". Obviously, "Marxism in China" is the combination of theory and practice. During the Yan 'an Rectification, Mao Zedong clearly pointed out that it is necessary to integrate theory with practice, "to have a clear aim" and "to shoot the China Revolution with Marxist arrows". On the other hand, it is "Marxism that enriches the China revolution with practice". Mao Zedong said: "We oppose subjectivism to improve theory, not to lower Marxism. We should make the China revolution full of practical Marxism. " He emphasized that one of the important manifestations of strengthening the guiding role of Marxist theory is to sum up the experience of China revolution with Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, so as to raise it to the height of theoretical understanding and form a new theory. On the one hand, we should make Marxist theory China; on the other hand, we should make China theorize and practice Marxism. This is the whole content of integrating theory with practice, and it is also the correct way to China Marxism.
Fourthly, Mao Zedong Thought, the symbolic achievement of Marxism in China, was founded. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Mao Zedong took the lead in China Marxism in the process of exploring the revolutionary road in China, and created a road of encircling cities from rural areas which was different from the Russian revolution, so that the content of Marxist theory began to be expressed, enriched and enriched with the concrete practice of the China Revolution, and began to be China-oriented. In his later theoretical creation, Mao Zedong also transformed all the valuable outstanding achievements in China's traditional cultural heritage into enriching and enriching the basic principles of Marxism, making it have the characteristics of China's national culture in content, thus becoming the first person to consciously China Marxism in practice, constructing a complete and systematic theoretical system of China's revolution, realizing the first historic leap of combining Marxism with the concrete reality of China's revolution, and forming the first theoretical achievement-Mao Zedong Thought. The founding of Mao Zedong Thought marks the great achievement of Marxism in China.
