统一战线视域下新民主主义文化的历史演进——纪念《新民主主义论》发表八十周年

Historical evolution of new democratic culture from the perspective of united front:For commemorating the 80th anniversary of the publication of On New Democracy

毛泽东在《新民主主义论》一文中提出的"抗日统一战线的文化"的概念,指出新民主主义文化的统一战线属性,是毛泽东用政治概念来命名文化形态的一次重要尝试,扩展了文化形态划分的理论视角,有利于突破传统的、既定的思维局限,改变从单一的阶级角度或从社会性质、意识形态的分野来界定文化形态的习惯,提供了一种新的思路来考察新民主主义文化演进的内在逻辑。遵循这种思路还原新民主主义文化演进的基本过程,可以发现在历史坐标上,新民主主义文化的发展与统一战线的内在变化具有高度的一致性,从而得出统一战线的内在演化是新民主主义文化向前发展的动力之一的结论。这对于当前统筹中国特色社会经济文化建设发展,促进中国特色社会主义文化繁荣,增强文化认同和树立文化自信具有重要意义。

Mao Zedong proposed the concept of"anti-Japanese united front culture"in On New Democracy,pointing out the attribute of new democratic culture of united front.This was an important attempt by Mao Zedong to name a cultural form with political concept,having expanded the theoretical perspective for cultural form division,being conducive to breaking through the limitation of traditional established thinking and changing the practice of defining cultural form from single class angle or the dividing line between social nature and ideology,and providing a new idea for exploring the internal logic of the evolution of the new democratic culture.By following this thinking to restore the basic process of the evolution of the new democratic culture,it can be found that the development of the new democratic culture and the intrinsic change of united front were highly consistent in the historical coordinate.On this basis,it can be concluded that the intrinsic change of united front was one of the driving forces for the development of the new democratic culture.This is of great importance to planning the social,economic and cultural development with Chinese characteristics,promoting the prosperity of the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics,enhancing cultural identity,and building up confidence in Chinese culture.
