Emotional Mobilization In The Chinese Revolution

This research takes the political mobilization of northern land reform of liberated areas for the research object in civil war period of the National Party and the Communist Party, and try to introduce this social psychological variable of the emotion to investigate northern land reform movement.Northern rural land reform under the leader of the Chinese Communist Party in 1946—1948 played the vital role on the victory of Chinese communist revolution. The victory of the Chinese Communist Party lies in the extensive society mobilization of peasants in the land reform movement. This research is on the basis of traditional research predicaments. Through adopting the visual angle of the emotional mobilization, investigating "fanshen" and "suku", we can examine carefully mechanism and technology of the social mobilization in northern land reform again, and understand the victory of China's communist revolution from another new way.The history social background of the Chinese Communist Party's land reform is primary investigation target of this research. Unique historical tradition and social structure of the north rural before the civil war form the social background of radical land reform. These factors have limited the mode selection which the social mobilization in land reform. The local practice of land reform relies on emotional mobilization. Its mechanism of motive force lies in the arousing, regulation and control of peasantry's social emotion.Emotional mobilization of the Chinese Communist Party used a way of macroscopical political ceremony to stimulate peasants' social emotion to the maximum extent. In order to finish such task( "the emotional arousing of the person who launches land reform smoothly—the emotional eruption of the ceremony protagonist—the emotional participation of ceremony observer's"), these political ceremonies have performed and used a lot of political tactics in order to control the ceremony course. In the political ceremony, the land reform organizer invents several kinds of micro-power technology to improve peasant's political consciousness, such as logic attribution technology, classification technology, contrast and appraisal technology. Because the extensive application of these tactics and technology, the performance of macroscopic political ceremony broke peasant's traditional cognitive frame of life and daily morals of experience, succeeded in transforming peasants' social emotion. The enormous emotion energy of arousing of peasants is put into the revolution.The emotion that the political ceremony of "suku" etc. stimulated out has flowed into and ideaistic structure reconstructed the structural view of the rural community, and reinvent the social relationships of different complicatedness in the village. The rural community has gone through a course contains differentiation again and integration again. Peasants' hatred to landlord produced the social class opposition, and reformed a new society differentiation (class differentiation) that to be different from the traditional society. The historical practice of "rowing compositions" promoted the setting of new society differentiation. At the same time, a kind of new social integration and collective identity which is headquartered in the common pressure (landlord and the National Party of China) began to form: common mental experience and emotional demand set up the status identity which "peasants are a family all over the world". The measure of criticizing and denouncing landlords, dividing equally the land etc. enables the Chinese Communist Party established the interests community and destiny community. A new social structure different from original "objective social structure" appeared in land reform—"representational social structure", representational social structure and emotion of mobilizing in this class words of the Chinese Communist Party interdepended and coexisted.
