In the long history of mankind, each era has left its own distinctive mark, and the Cultural Revolution was an extremely important and controversial period in Chinese history. In an article, Mr. Hu Xijin pointed out that the Cultural Revolution must not be reversed, and we must avoid falling into radicalism.
This article will analyze the reasons why the Cultural Revolution is not suitable for reversal and the importance of avoiding radicalism from the perspective of the Chinese public, citing historical events, documents, and relevant historical books.
The Cultural Revolution was a movement within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1966 to 1976 to reinvigorate the revolutionary spirit and strengthen its position as a political center. During this period, there was a violent upheaval in Chinese society, a large number of people suffered, cultural, educational, economic and other fields were destroyed, and the country suffered heavy losses.
The emergence of the Cultural Revolution was closely related to China's national conditions and social environment at that time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China faced many challenges and difficulties, including economic backwardness, cultural faults, and so on. In order to solve these problems, a series of measures have been taken, including the Great Leap Forward Movement and the People's Communization Movement, but these measures have encountered serious problems in practice. Under these circumstances, the Cultural Revolution came into being, using extreme means to solve the problem.
During the Cultural Revolution, China's political system was greatly impacted and damaged. On the one hand, the Cultural Revolution pointed the finger at the top leaders and decision-making bodies within the party, leading to chaos in the party and state organizationsOn the other hand, the Cultural Revolution also undermined democracy and weakened the protection of citizens' rights.
During the Cultural Revolution, a large number of intellectuals and elites were suppressed and destroyed, and the fields of knowledge industry, culture and art were destroyed, which had a serious negative impact on Chinese society and national development. A large number of precious cultural heritages have been destroyed, which has created a huge obstacle to socialist construction.
The Cultural Revolution had a profound impact on Chinese society and culture. On the one hand, the Cultural Revolution promoted the popularization and popularization of culture by criticizing the form of traditional cultureIt has promoted the transformation and development of Chinese society. By criticizing old ideas, cultures, customs, etc., people's minds have been emancipated, the social atmosphere has been improved, and at the same time, China's modernization process has been promoted.
On the other hand, the Cultural Revolution also introduced the extremist ideas and violent aesthetics of Western culture into Chinese culture, which had a negative impact on Chinese culture. It has also caused irreparable damage to China's culture and history. Many outstanding cultural heritages have been destroyed or lost, and some traditional folklore has gradually disappeared.
Looking back at history, we can see that the Cultural Revolution happened precisely because the political environment and cultural atmosphere at that time were too radical and immature. Therefore,In order to avoid the recurrence of similar historical events, we need to maintain a rational and calm attitude, respect historical facts and laws, and not blindly believe and disseminate unverified news and opinions. At the same time, we should also strengthen the cultivation of rational thinking and independent thinking ability in education and publicity, and guide the public to establish correct values and world outlook.
The Cultural Revolution was an extremely important period in Chinese history, and its tragic consequences have left us with a profound lesson. Mr. Hu Xijin's point of view is very reasonable, we must not overturn the case, let alone fall into the quagmire of radicalism.
We should learn from history, cherish the fruits of peaceful development, actively participate in national construction, and achieve social stability and prosperity. Only in this way can we make our due contribution to the progress of human history.
