Chairman Mao is a person who truly integrated the philosophies of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

——"Fu Lei's Family Letter"

Interpretation of Han Niu's appearance:

Fu Lei, a famous Chinese writer, translator, and literary critic.

In 1957, Fu Lei, as a member of the Democratic Party (DPP), was invited to attend the National Propaganda Work Conference.

Chairman Mao gave a speech in person and talked about eight major issues successively, further enriching and deepening the theme of "getting right" from various aspects such as ideological issues, intellectual issues, and the "Double Hundred" policy issues.

Among them, Chairman Mao said:

"Don't be afraid of freedom, don't be afraid of criticism, don't be afraid of chaos, don't be afraid of ghosts and monsters, and don't be afraid of poisonous weeds. The policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is only It will develop truth, develop art, and make us make fewer mistakes.”

…

The meeting was a success, and the applause was warm and lasting, full of joy. and inspiring.

Not long after, Fu Lei wrote this matter in a letter home.

He wrote in a letter at home:

"Chairman Mao's Marxism has reached a state of transformation. Picking it up casually will turn it into a wonderful truth, and it will be expressed in a very natural attitude, invisible. He is a master of the art of concealing the logic of his speech."

"He has a broad mind and a free mind. Of course, Chairman Mao has a good grasp of national affairs. A person who has a thorough understanding of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign philosophies."

In Fu Lei's writing, Chairman Mao is a great scholar, thinker or philosopher who has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge, and he expresses his sincere admiration.

So, here comes the problem.

Why was Chairman Mao able to integrate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign philosophies?

Han Niu believes that there are three reasons:

First, master the profound theory.

Chairman Mao was diligent and knowledgeable, and had an amazing memory. He systematically studied traditional Chinese culture in his youth and laid a solid foundation in Chinese philosophy.

While working in the Beijing Library, Chairman Mao systematically studied Western philosophy and ethics and accepted the ideological cleansing of Marxism.

Chairman Mao was a well-educated man, well versed in both Chinese and Western philosophy. He studied both ancient and modern Chinese and foreign philosophies, mastered a large number of philosophical concepts, and absorbed the essence of the thoughts of Chinese and foreign philosophers. We combine these rich Chinese and foreign Philosophical knowledge can be generally called philosophical theories or theories.

Second, have rich practice.

Chairman Mao is the founding leader of the country, the founder of the socialist system, and the father of China's industrialization. He has no background or backing, and all his achievements are achieved by his own real swords and guns.

Chairman Mao has rich revolutionary experience. He has successively led a series of struggle movements such as the military revolution, technological revolution, scientific and technological revolution, and medical revolution in the history of the People’s Republic of China. It is a life of revolution, a life of struggle, and a life of struggle. A glorious life is a life of practice.

Third, be good at integrating theory with practice.

Chairman Mao advocated linking theory with practice and was good at thinking and resolving various contradictions from a philosophical perspective.

In the course of decades of revolutionary practice, he has been committed to combining theory and practice, advocating that the universal truth of Marxism be combined with China’s special national conditions, so as to lead the Chinese people to win We have achieved revolutionary victories one after another and created world miracles one after another.

In the final analysis, Chairman Mao is a top master of integrating theory with practice.

Just as he quoted Stalin's famous saying in "On Practice":

"If theory is not linked to revolutionary practice, it will become an objectless theory. Similarly, if practice is not Without revolutionary theory as a guide, it will become blind practice."

In the words of Chinese philosopher Wang Yangming, it is to "unify knowledge and action."

Later, Chairman Mao extended the dialectical relationship between "theory and practice" to specific working methods, advocating coming from the masses to the masses.
