In the 1950s,China experienced a comprehensive reform of national system and social order,and the change of social atmosphere has become an important new change brought about by it.With the progress of social civilization,the public pay more and more attention to the issue of social ethos.In the 1950s,the social ethos received more attention and heated discussion,but at the same time,they always had different opinions.This paper takes the social climate change of China in the 1950s as the research theme,which is trying to make a comprehensive and systematic investigation and Discussion on it.First of all,the article integrates the relevant research results and combines the research needs,and clearly defines the social ethos as a general concept including two categories of social consciousness and social behavior with corresponding specific performance,which is the basis of the whole research.At the beginning of the main part of the article,combined with the historical evolution of Chinese society in 1950s through the consolidation of political power,the establishment of the new democratic system,the shift to socialism,the establishment of the new social stratification system,and the early exploration in the period of all-round socialist construction,the Chinese social atmosphere in 1950s was divided into rebirth and rebirth with the expansion of the anti rightist struggle in June 1957 Before and after the change.Then the new social consciousness and new social behavior in the rebirth stage were investigated.The establishment of the new social consciousness was mainly as follows:the Communist Party of China constructed and promoted the political identity and deepening of each revolutionary class with correct policies and strategies,comprehensive and systematic publicity and education,its own strong and good relationship with the people,and the integration of the party and state identity The mainstream ideology of Zedong's thought is deeply rooted in the people's mind in the national expansion,but it also retains the relatively loose social atmosphere;the class consciousness is strengthened in the Communist Party of China and deepened in all revolutionary classes,which promotes it to penetrate into all groups and the whole social system;the revolutionary tradition of emphasizing politics is expanded to the whole country,and the political measurement and evaluation standards tend to be socialized,which shows the emphasis on politics It began to take shape;socialist morality,including the value orientation of social morality,collectivism and patriotism,as well as the spirit of serving the people and working hard,was generally popular;"glorious labor and shameful exploitation" became the social consensus under the shaping and promotion of the state and society;the implementation of the new marriage law promoted the change of marriage concept,and women's social status was experienced Historic improvement.The establishment of new social behavior mainly includes:the yellow,gambling,poisoning,disturbing and destroying the social order and safety in old China were banned and basically eliminated;the new trend of learning from British models and the diffusion of the demonstration effect of activists at the grass-roots level promoted the competition for advancement to become a new social behavior choice;the simple and revolutionary new marriage custom led the change of marriage custom,carried out cremation The new reform of establishing cemeteries and holding memorial service has begun;the new festival system has been established by the state through setting up and adopting systematic commemorative methods,and has been effectively used as a new political resource,and new appellations are also popular.In the last few years of the early exploration of building socialism in an all-round way,along with the twists and turns of the early exploration,a series of new changes have taken place in the social atmosphere,including the formation of prejudice against intellectuals,the new changes in the political psychology of being eager for success,blindly advocating the top,the "left" being better than the "right",high indicators,blind command,forced order,pompous style,communist style,etc The rise and prevalence of"five styles",the reinterpretation and promotion of collectivism beyond the stage,and the emergence of peasants' anti behavior are the corresponding main manifestations.In terms of its basic characteristics,the social ethos of the 1950s experienced a process of change from rebirth to new change in the same track with social change;the imbalance of internal structure and regional collectivity was shown at the same time of overall change;the direct effect of political power;the reflection of comprehensive expansion of ideology;it has the color of Pan politics and revolution.From the historical root,the establishment of the new democratic system,the highly centralized political and economic system with Soviet style color and its deepening,the main administrative mode of mass movement,the unprecedented excellent Party style and political style,and the political influence of political leaders are the deep reasons for its rebirth and new changes.Generally speaking,the social ethos of the 1950s basically showed a positive,healthy and upward historical aspect of promoting the healthy operation and coordinated development of the society.From the historical origin,the establishment of the new democratic system,the highly centralized political and economic system and its deepening of the Soviet style color,the main mode of governance and operation of the mass movement,the unprecedented excellent Party style and political style,and the political influence of political leaders are the deep reasons for its rebirth and new changes.Generally speaking,the social ethos of the 1950s basically presents a positive,healthy and upward historical aspect of promoting the healthy operation and coordinated development of the society as a whole.It should be said that the current social development is significantly different from that of the 1950s in terms of "separation" and "integration",but in terms of guiding ideology,basic system and objectives,they are all inherited and integrated.The change of social ethos in the 1950s also has reference value for the cultivation and practice of the current socialist core values and systems.It is the historical experience that it attaches great importance to and actively intervenes in the construction of social values,maintaining the advanced and powerful functions of the ruling group,realizing the successful transformation and integration of leading value to the mainstream value,and implementing integrated integrated management measures.The historical lessons it provides are as follows:to avoid excessive pan politicization and improper excessive intervention of political forces,it is necessary to base on reality and avoid overstepping the stage,to make the national political forces play a better and correct role in the perspective and mode of mutual construction of the state and society.We must make full use of the institutional and normative role of governing the country according to law.As the basic historical context and logic of Chinese society in the 1950s,the complex mutual construction of revolution,tradition and modernity is also one of the basic perspectives to observe the change of social atmosphere.In the 1950s,Chinese social ethos was reconstructed and regenerated under the influence of revolution,and new changes took place in its reasonable bearing range beyond the traditional and modern.This is not only an important manifestation of the complex interaction of the three,but also provides rich experience on how to achieve balance in the relationship between the three,the extended traditional and modern game,and the relationship between the state and society.This paper makes an overall historical investigation on the theme of the change of social ethos in China in the 1950s,and deeply studies and discusses its characteristics,the causes of rebirth and new changes,historical evaluation and practical reference,and constructs a logical and self-consistent inspection and exposition system in a panoramic and in-depth manner.It is hoped that it can continue to promote the research on the major issues related to the early social changes and the in-depth development of modernization in the Republic of China from multiple perspectives.
