中共执政以前毛泽东著作的经典化

The Canonization of Mao Zedong's Works prior to the CPC's Assumption of Power

毛泽东著作的经典化起源并形成于中共执政以前,这一过程与中共的政治文化和政治生态密切相关。20世纪30年代,个人著作已成为中共高层调整政治地位的重要资源。毛泽东着力于提高马列主义理论修养,个人著作开始了经典化的尝试。伴随着40年代毛泽东领导地位的稳固,其著作通过党内自上而下的学习机制而正式经典化。毛泽东著作的经典化是毛泽东思想确立的伴生现象。执政前夕,中共相当成功地实施了毛泽东著作的出版战略,将毛泽东著作的阅读从党内延伸到党外,成为民众了解毛泽东与认识新生政权的重要途径。

The canonization of Mao Zedong＇ s writings originated prior to when the CPC began to rule the govern- ment. This process was closely related to the political culture and political ecology of the CPC. In the 1930s, per- sonal writings were an important resource for high-level CPC authorities to adjust the political status of the CPC. Mao Zedong focused on improving the cultivation of Marxist-Leninist theory, and his personal works were part of this canonization attempt. Accompanied by Mao Zedong＇ s leadership in the 1940s, his writings were officially classified as a top-down learning mechanism within the Party. The classicization of Mao Zedong＇ s writings was a phenomenon associated with the establishment of Mao Zedong Thought. On the eve of taking power, the CPC had successfully carried out a strategy to publish Mao Zedong＇ s works, and the reading of Mao Zedong＇ s works was extended from the party to the outside world, which became an important way for the people to understand Mao Zedong and the new regime.
