The Party Congress and the Construction of a Memory Field for the History of the Communist Party of China——A Historical Survey Centered around the 7th CPC National Congress
The Party Congress is thekey to remember the history of the Party,and also the core mechanism for storing the Party's historical memory.The 7th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)was able to be recorded in the annals of history as a"united and victorious congress",and the key lies in being able to construct the Party's political identity and sketch the issue of anti-Japanese war and establishing a state through systematic memory of the history of the CPC.By systematically answering basic questions such as"Who remembers","Why remember","How to remember","What to remember"and"What to use memory for",etc.through the memory practice of the 7th CPC National Congress,the CPC has successfully constructed the Party Congress into the most authoritative"memory field"of Party history.The creation of such a field and the memory practice responds to the fundamental demands of the Party's memory politics,and reveals the basic trajectory and laws of creating the"new tradition"of the Party's political culture,which demonstrates the possibility and value of shaping the 20th century Chinese party politics through theCPC's historical memory constructed from the power discourse.
