On the Practice of Revolutionary Legal System in the Traditional Rural Areas
From the 1920s to the 1940s,the Communist Party of China,relying on the armed forces,successively established several large and small revolutionory base areas in the vast land of China from south to north,began to take control of political power of partial areas,and began the initial practice of legal system.The ideal of the Communist Party of China is to realize communism in China,and these political powers of base areas were all located in rural areas which were the most remote in terms of geographical location and the most backward in terms of social economy in modern China,with the characteristics of having strong blood-connected organizations,being profoundly influenced by the traditional Confucian ethics,small population,scattered living,high illiteracy rate,and underdeveloped industry and commerce,had not the elements of communist civilization,and was not the place where the modern rule of law was developing.The Communist Party of China remodeled and transformed rural areas in accordance with the Marxist concepts of the state and the law,and by reference to the experience of the Soviet Union in building the country with the party.The construction of the political power and the practice of the legal system have gone through two stages from simple transplantation to independent innovation.In this process,the Communist Party of China used the legal system as a revolutionary tool or a means of governance or a tool of political mobilization,by various means of enhancing individual feelings,severing ties with traditional rural areas and transforming society as a whole,to adjust various complex relations concerning interests,seek a balance between revolution and order,and build a new social order in the midst of changes,so that peasants in the bottom of the society and living in the rural areas had actual contacts with the revolutionary legal system.At the same time,the initial practice of legal system by the Communist Party of China was inevitably deeply marked by the rural areas.
