抗日战争时期延安的自然科学实践运动

The Movement of Applying Natural Science in Yan' an during the Anti-Japanese War

大力开展自然科学实践是中国共产党领导中国革命和建设事业的一个重要组成部分。在抗日战争时期极为艰苦的环境下,中国共产党在延安领导了一场蓬蓬勃勃的自然科学实践运动。中共中央领导人非常重视发展科学技术,积极组织研究机构,开展各种科学研究活动,举办各种科学研究展览会,创办和出版科学书刊及宣传品。进行各种科学考察活动,推广自然科学知识。延安开展的这场自然科学实践运动对于保障抗日战争的胜利、提高人民群众生活水平和文明程度、改造农村落后面貌具有重大历史意义。在实施“科教兴国”战略的今天,研究这段历史,发扬党重视科学技术的优良传统,有着深刻的启迪意义。

Applying natural science has been an important part of Chinese revolution and construction led by the Chinese Communist Party. During the War of Resistence Against Japan, the Party had led a vigorous movement of applying natural science in Yan'an in spite of the bad conditions. Leaders in the central committee attached a great importance to the development of science and technology. They worked hard to set up institutions, carried out research projects, held various exhibitions and published books, journals and other propaganda materials to popularize science knowledge. The movement in Yan'an had made a historical contribution to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, to the improvement of people's living standard and their level of civilization, as well as to the change of the backwardness in countryside. Now, when the strategy of developing the country by relying on science and education is being implemented, we can gain a deep enlightenment by studying this movement and by upholding the Party' s good tradition of valuing science and technology.
