The modernization of modern China started relatively late,and the feudal system was deeply rooted.In the contact and confrontation with Western capitalist countries,the traditional political system gradually collapsed.One of the most important tasks facing the country was to integrate the country and society,build a modern country,and achieve national liberation and independence externally.The invasion of the West has ideologically impacted the traditional Chinese concept of state.In the face of the warlord separatist society and the "scattered sand" social state after the 1911 Revolution,Mao Zedong constantly pondered and chose what kind of new China to build and how to build a country,and finally accepted the Marxist theory of state to guide national construction,Gradually forming their own national ideology and evolving with the situation in the process of revolution,from the Republic of Hunan to the ultimate people’s democratic dictatorship,has undergone a process from shallow to deep,from immature to mature.Most of the political construction during the Chinese revolutionary period coincided with or took it as a reference.An analysis of the historical evolution of Mao Zedong’s thought of founding a country can better understand modern Chinese society and the revolutionary process,and the distinctive characteristics contained in his thought also have enlightenment significance for the modern construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This article is mainly divided into five parts.Studying the development of ideas requires a historical perspective,analyzing the society at that time in the context of the times,and excavating the most fundamental theoretical origins of ideas.Therefore,the first part analyzes the historical background of warlord separatism and loose society in the late Hing Dynasty and the early Republic of China,and expounds that Marxist state theory is the fundamental source of Mao Zedong’s thought of nation-building.Lenin’s proletarian state theory has an important impact on Mao Zedong’s revolutionary struggle and political power construction thought.As a pioneer of democratic revolution,Sun Yates’ s localized state view provides ideological clues for Mao Zedong’s thought of nation-building.The second part is the guidance of Mao Zedong’s gradual establishment of the Marxist state view on the founding of the country,describing the young Mao Zedong’s thoughts on national issues,elaborating on the ideals and limitations of his main national concept,the "Hunan Republic",while sorting out Mao Zedong’s acceptance of Marxist state theory,and using class analysis theory to analyze the status and role of the working class in the country,as well as putting forward reflections on the construction of peasant political power.On the choice of revolutionary path,Mao Zedong proposed the ideas of "political power emerges from the barrel of a gun" and "armed separatism between workers and peasants",and put forward his own thoughts on the construction of Soviet political power during the Agrarian Revolution.The third part is about the transformation of Mao Zedong’s thought of founding a country during the revolutionary period.In order to unite the forces of the Anti Japanese War,Mao Zedong strategically proposed the ideas of "the People’s Republic" and "the Democratic Republic".Mao Zedong proposed thinking about the establishment of the anti Japanese democratic regime and the construction of the political system,advocating the principle of "three three three systems" to ensure that the consultative system under democratic centralism truly plays a role and promote the realization of democratic politics in the anti Japanese base areas.According to the actual situation of the Chinese revolution,the systematic nation-building ideology of "the New Democratic Republic" has gradually been formed,creatively proposing that the revolution should take two steps,systematically answering the question of what nature of a country should be established after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan,clarifying the goal of a new country that should have a trinity of new politics,new economy,and new culture,and pointing out the direction for the Chinese people’s war of resistance and nation-building.The fourth part,after the victory of the Anti Japanese War,Mao Zedong complied with the popular sentiment and timely proposed the establishment of a democratic coalition government,opposing the Kuomintang’s one-party dictatorship,and elaborated on the nature and program of the democratic coalition government.Finally,it elaborates the theory of people’s democratic dictatorship.Mao Zedong analyzed the nature of people’s democratic dictatorship by clarifying the concept of "people",and divided the basic functions of the country.At the same time,Mao Zedong elaborated on the debate between democracy and dictatorship to prove the relationship,overcome the one-sided understanding and clarify the national nature of New China.The fifth part expounds the value contained in Mao Zedong’s thought of building a country,including the dual significance of theory and practice.
