Survey Research and the Formation of Mao Zedong's Thought on Women's Emancipation
Women's liberation was Mao Zedong's political ideal,and research was his basic method of grasping China's reality.During the new democratic revolution,in order to explore the road of women's liberation in China,he conducted in-depth investigation and research on women.Through his investigation and research,he formed an understanding of the women's issue and put forward the theory,path and programme of action for women's liberation.Firstly,he found that the"four great ropes"binding Chinese women were regime,ethnicity,divinity and husband's right,and constructed an explanatory system of Chinese women's oppression.Secondly,he found that class emancipation was a prerequisite for women's emancipation,and created a unique path of integrating women's movement into class emancipation,and of advancing women's emancipation through class emancipation.Thirdly,he saw that the great importance of women in the revolution and production in China had been greatly reduced.Seeing the great contribution of Chinese women in revolution and production,he proposed that"Chinese women have great power"and developed the Marxist epistemology of women,and fourthly,recognizing that the old marriage system had caused great suffering to women and that women longed for the freedom of marriage,he proposed that the freedom of marriage be the main focus of women's emancipation.These theories and propositions formed Mao Zedong's thought on women's emancipation and took the first step towards the Sinicisation of Marxist women's theory.Therefore,investigation and research was the bridge for Mao Zedong to understand the reality of Chinese women and the foundation for the formation of Mao Zedong thought on women's emancipation.
