新中国建立前后华北农村破除迷信探析

Comments on the Efforts to Do Away with Superstition In Rural North China around the Founding of New China

新中国建立前后的华北农村,迷信泛滥,封建会道门组织盛行,严重威胁着社会。中国共产党审时度势,采取普及教育、倡导科学等一系列行之有效的政策和措施,在华北农村大力破除迷信,取得了一定的社会功效,迷信活动与组织大为减少,促进了社会进步。然而由于社会历史原因和这项工作中的某些不足,这次破除迷信并不彻底,科学民主观念没有真正树立起来,封建迷信观念依然占据着许多人的头脑。破除迷信、倡导科学,是一项复杂艰巨的长期工程。

In rural North China around the founding of New China superstitions spread unchecked and feudal superstitious sects and secret societies ran rampant, constituting a serious threat to the society. The Communist Party of China made a correct assessment of the situation and took a series of effective policies and measures such as popularizing education and promoting science. Great efforts were made to do away superstition in the rural areas, which produced some positive social results and brought about social progress. Superstitious activities and organizations were reduced. However, due to social and historical reasons and the factors on the part of the CPC itself, superstition was not thoroughly eradicated, the awareness of science and democracy was not really fostered, feudal superstitious notions still dominated the mind of many people, and superstition remained a big social problem.
