Shanghai is the birthplace of the Communist Party of China and the birthplace and center of the Communist Party of China's publishing industry. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and eight volumes of "The Original Initial Intention -- A Compilation of the Party's Early Publications" were published in Shanghai, systematically sorting out and photocopying the early published books of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai for the first time.
Today, "The Original Initial Intention - A Compilation of the Early Publication Documents of the Party" was first published at the Memorial Hall of the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and was jointly planned and launched by the China Modern Press and Publication Museum and the Shanghai Bookstore Publishing House. According to industry evaluation, this set of literature compilation is another achievement of the Shanghai publishing industry's efforts to promote the "excavation and propaganda project of the birthplace of the party" and the construction of the brand of theoretical research and dissemination, which is conducive to promoting the in-depth study of the history of the Shanghai party and the history of Shanghai publishing.
This collection of documents includes a total of 15 kinds of early Publications of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai based on the original photocopied, including the Communist Manifesto, the Communist Party's Bottom Plan, the ABC of Communism, the Commentary on The Concept of Chinese and Western Culture, The Women of the Future, A Brief History of Social Evolution, The History of Socialism, the Discussion Collection of Socialism, the Collection of Papers on the Questions of the Chinese Revolution, the Outline of Economic Science, the Economy of Europe and the Post-Parliamentary Conference, The Anatomy of Capitalism, the Outline of the Geography of the World Economy, the Principles of the National Revolution, and Tactics and Tactics.
Judging from the time and publishing institutions of the 15 bibliographies, from 1920 to 1930, it spanned the three periods of the founding of the Party, the Great Revolution and the Agrarian Revolutionary War, including the New Youth Society, the People's Publishing House, the Shanghai Bookstore, the Huaxing Bookstore and other most important publishing and distribution institutions of the Party in Shanghai in various periods. Judging from the composition of the bibliography, it includes the main categories of the Party's early book publications: namely, the original works of Marxist classics, various expositions and reference works that help study Marxism and observe the socialist revolution in Soviet Russia, and the summary and theoretical exploration of the experience of the Communist Party of China devoted to the dissemination of Marxism and its application to the practice of the Chinese revolution.
Experts said that a number of the party's earliest publishing institutions, such as the People's Publishing House, the New Youth Society, the Shanghai Bookstore, the Changjiang Bookstore, and the Huaxing Bookstore, were also born in Shanghai. From the founding of the Party to the victory of the revolution, Shanghai has always been the red publishing highland with the largest number of revolutionary progressive publishing institutions, the largest number of publishers and the largest number of achievements under the leadership of the Party. For a long time before and after the founding of the Communist Party of China, many Of the Shikumen buildings surrounding the editorial office of the Old Yuyang Li No. 2 "New Youth" became the center of China's dissemination of Marxism, and many of the works reprinted and published this time were mostly published in Shikumen at that time.
In the early days, the Chinese Communists were well aware of the important role of newspapers and periodicals in transforming society and enlightening the people, and they started by translating and introducing Marxist works and reading materials, and through publishing books and distributing newspapers and periodicals, they planted the fire of Marxism into the young intellectual group and spread it to the people through them. The photocopied books reflect one aspect of the CCP's early sowing of revolutionary seeds in Shanghai, highlighting Shanghai's profound red cultural genes, and has important documentary value for promoting the study of party history and in-depth study of the "four histories".
As one of the expert guides of this series of books, Professor Huang Lizhi of the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China commented that this set of books shows the "20th Century Chinese Ideological Circles" through original ecological publications, and also shows "how the literature of Marxism and communism penetrated into the spiritual world of Chinese and how the socialist movement took root and sprouted in China." Combining the textual differences between the editions included in the series and the Marxist translations in common today, such as "propertied class" and "bourgeoisie", "abolition of private property" and "abolition of private property", and Mao Zedong's reflections on the 1920 Manifesto of the Communist Party of China in 1958, he expounded the process of the gradual development of the Chinese Communist Party's thinking from naivety to maturity.
From the perspective of the study of the history of the COMMUNIST Party's publishing, Yan Shaoyuan, an expert in the study of party history, said that the group of editors, authors, and translators of this set of compilations can allow us to fully consider the extremely important position of the CPC's publishing industry in the course of the founding and struggle of the CPC. Chen Duxiu and Qu Qiubai, the two main leaders of the Party during the founding period and the early agrarian revolution, as well as the main members of the Shanghai Initiating Group of the Communist Party of China, participated in the compilation, writing, and translation of these bibliographies.
Zhao Shulei, director of the Shanghai Taofen Memorial Hall (China Modern Press and Publication Museum), said that the China Museum of Modern Press and Publications set up a special working group to investigate, collect, and photocopy the publications of the early Publishing Institutions of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai. Sun Yu, director of the Shanghai Bookstore Publishing House, introduced that the book layout and cover of "The Original Initial Intention - A Compilation of the Party's Early Publication Documents" are printed as they are, so as to restore the original appearance of historical documents to the greatest extent.
In the future, Shanghai's theoretical circles and publishing circles will continue to gather expert resources, innovate forms of communication, fully tap and utilize Shanghai's rich red resources, polish fine products and hot products, and provide more excellent textbooks for repairing compulsory courses in party history.
