The Origin and Change of Marxist-Leninist Book Classification
In the current major classification methods in China,Marxist-Leninist books constitute an independent category and is placed before all other categories.Most people are accustomed to this and take it for granted,while most academics think that this is learned from the classification of the Soviet Union.But in fact,this classification method has a deep historical origin.The view that the Chinese Marxist-Leninist book classification method originated from the Soviet Union deserves further discussion.Specifically,during the Yan'an period,because the Communist Party of China took Marxist-Leninist as its guiding ideology,facing the situation of the new democratic revolution and the needs of the whole Party to study and rectify,Jiefangshe and Xinhua Bookstore published and distributed a large number of books on Marxist-Leninist and Mao Zedong Thought.After that,most of these books were allocated to the libraries of Yan'an free of charge,and became the books with an absolute advantage among the libraries.Libraries in Yan'an had a large collection of books on Marxist-Leninist,Mao Zedong Thought and New Democratic Revolution.Therefore,the Marxist-Leninist Institute Library initiated a new classification method of Marxist-Leninist books;and under the unified coordination of the Yan'an Library Association,after many discussions in the Zhongshan Library,the Marxist-Leninist Institute Library,and the Lu Xun Library,the books on Marxist-Leninist and Mao Zedong Thought had become a large category independently and placed before all other categories.By putting each thematic book at the top of each major category,the new classification method of Marxist-Leninist books had been gradually refined and then finalized.After the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan,the book resources and staff of many libraries in Yan'an came to North China,and also brought the new book classification method to North China.Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China,the Book Classification of Renmin University of China Libraries and Book Classification of the Library of North China People's Revolutionary University directly inherited the new classification method and its guiding ideology in the Yan'an period.Later,the four major book classification methods were gradually unified in Marxist-Leninist book classification,and finally formed the current"Marxist-Leninist book classification"with Chinese characteristics.This is the inheritance and development of the fine tradition of the new book classification method in Yan'an period.36 refs.
