The Practice And Enlightenment Of The CPC’s Adherence To Bottom-Line Thinking During The Yan’an Period

During the thirteen years between the CPC’s eventual settlement in northern Shaanxi and the CPC’s eastern crossing of the Yellow River after the Long March,the CPC faced constant risks and challenges,conflicts and crises,but the important reason why the CPC has always been able to properly handle the above problems lies in taking bottom-line thinking as a guide,taking precautions and preventing risks,and at the same time being able to make a late strike and turn challenges into opportunities.Therefore,it is necessary to study and sort out how the Communist Party of China specifically adhered to the use of bottom-line thinking to guide its own practice during the Yan’an period,which has theoretical value in enriching the theory of the party’s new democratic revolution period,enriching the foreign exchanges and self-construction of the Communist Party of China.It is of great practical significance to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on bottom-line thinking in the new era and cope with the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century.This paper uses historical research methods,documentary research methods and other research methods to conduct research based on the revolutionary practice activities of the Communist Party of China in the Yan’an period.From the theoretical level,the characteristics and connotations of bottom-line thinking are discussed,from the historical logic level,how the Communist Party of China used bottom-line thinking to guide practice before 1935,and from the practical logic level,how to actively adhere to bottom-line thinking to guide its own practice in the process of exchanges with the Kuomintang,the process of the party’s own construction,and the process of exchanges with the United States and the Soviet Union.In this way,the characteristics of the CPC’s adherence to bottom-line thinking during this period are sorted out: the combination of overall and locality,the combination of "top line" and "bottom line",the combination of persistence and concession,and the combination of political offensive and military struggle;To sum up its significance: clarifying the political bottom line enables the party to mature,adhering to the military bottom line enables the party to dare to struggle,dare to win,and establish a sense of distress so that the party can take the initiative.Through the practice of the CPC adhering to bottom-line thinking in the Yan’an period,this paper objectively and comprehensively evaluates it and summarizes its lessons and lessons,so as to draw its historical enlightenment and practical enlightenment.On this basis,summarizing history,drawing on our party’s experience in adhering to and practicing bottom-line thinking in the Yan’an period,implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on bottom-line thinking in the new era,actively responding to the risks and challenges encountered in reform and opening up,coping with uncertainties brought about by the new normal of the economy,and coping with the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century.
