After the arrival of the new century and the development of cross-strait relations to a new historical stage, this book is of great significance both in theory and in practice.
First of all, the book has important theoretical value.
In the past decade, academic research on cross-strait relations has produced many research results. However, this is the first masterpiece with more than one million words published in the form of "general history". From this perspective, this book is creative. Standing at the height of 2 1 century, the author of this book systematically studied the historical development and evolution of cross-strait relations in prehistoric times from 20 thousand years ago to 30 thousand years ago, and explored its development law. It can be said that the publication of this book has opened up a new field of cross-strait relations research and made up for the lack of academic research in this field.
From the perspective of structure and system, this book starts from prehistoric times, with the "Zuo Zhenren" who was discovered by archaeology in Taiwan Province Province and trekked from the mainland to Taiwan Province Province 30,000 years ago as a symbol, and continues to write the new development of cross-strait relations after the arrival of 2 1 century. According to the historical characteristics and laws of the development of cross-strait relations, the book is divided into four stages: development-integration period (prehistoric-middle Ming dynasty); Rebellion-return period (late Ming Dynasty-Republic of China); Civil strife-confrontation period (1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) established the Kuomintang and defeated Taiwan Province province-1978, before the mainland's reform and opening up); The period of relaxation-reunification (1979 2 1 the policy of peaceful reunification of mainland and cross-strait relations was put forward at the beginning of the century). At this stage, the main thread of the historical development of cross-strait relations is clarified, the historical themes and development contents of different periods are summarized, and the high degree of unity of history and logic is realized, thus building a unique historical framework system of cross-strait relations. This creative exploration has important theoretical value for further establishing the special subject of the history of cross-strait relations.
From the content point of view, the book is informative, rich in content and innovative in viewpoint. The first volume of the book mainly expounds the cross-strait relations from prehistoric times to the middle of Ming Dynasty, in which a large number of new archaeological discoveries in Taiwan Province Province in recent years are used to illustrate the close relationship between Taiwan Province Province and the mainland from the aspects of language, customs and religious beliefs, and the culture of Taiwan Province Province is rooted in the mainland; Starting with the development, management and governance of Taiwan Province Province by China in past dynasties, this paper excavates new historical materials and demonstrates that Taiwan Province Province has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. For example, in the second volume, after Japanese imperialism occupied Taiwan Province Province, it imposed cruel colonial rule on compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, and compatriots in Taiwan Province Province resisted colonialism in various ways, which fully reflected the patriotic spirit of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province; From the Revolution of 1911 to the May 4th New Culture Movement, and then to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there have been scenes of revolutionary struggle on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. For example, in the third volume, the author discusses in depth that under the situation of cross-strait confrontation, the two sides adhered to the one-China stance and formed the practice of opposing the division of Taiwan Province Province, which fully embodies the fine tradition of the Chinese nation in safeguarding the reunification of the motherland. The fourth volume summarizes the three struggles of China people against "Taiwan independence" and separatism since the mid-1990s and their important achievements. This paper discusses the new strategy of China's * * * Production Party to oppose "independence" and promote reunification in the new century. These ideas are all innovative.
From the perspective of research methods, the book is guided by Marxist dialectical materialism and historical materialism, mainly using historical research methods, and occasionally using analysis, induction, comparison and statistics. Mainly based on systematic research methods, supplemented by special research in a certain period; Taking the historical development of cross-strait relations as the longitude, taking the political, economic, military, cultural, ethnic and religious relations as the latitude, criss-crossing, combining history and theory, we weave a historical picture that comprehensively shows the development and evolution of cross-strait relations.
Secondly, the publication of this book has a strong practical significance.
Solving the problem of Taiwan Province Province and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the sacred historical mission of the governments of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China and all China people, including our compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, and it is also the sincere wish of every Chinese son and daughter at home and abroad. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 15th CPC Central Committee has listed "the reunification of the motherland" as one of the three major tasks that must be grasped in the new century. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China elaborated again. At present, cross-strait relations have become the focus of world attention and one of the themes in the political life of people on both sides of the strait. The book was published at this critical moment, showing people the ins and outs of cross-strait relations with its rich contents, proving that Taiwan Province Province has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, the mainland and Taiwan Province Province belong to the same China, the necessity and urgency of cross-strait reunification, and discussing the inseparability of cross-strait relations. If the two interests are combined, the two lost interests will be divided; Integration, unification and communication are the mainstream of the development of cross-strait relations and other historical experiences and laws, so as to meet the needs of the current situation and serve the overall situation of the reunification of the motherland. This book can not only be used for reference by experts and scholars, but also provide consultation and historical reference for the party's Taiwan policy, which has strong practical and social significance.
In addition, since 1949, the two sides of the Taiwan Province Strait have been isolated from each other for 30 years because foreign forces interfered in China's internal affairs and prevented the people of China from solving the Taiwan Province issue. People on both sides of the strait lack communication, especially under the deception and bewitch of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, Taiwan Province compatriots have not fully understood the mainland, and some people still have doubts about "one country, two systems". This book expounds in detail the development of Chinese mainland's Taiwan policy in different periods and its influence on cross-strait relations, discusses China's efforts to implement "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" and its greatest sincerity in developing cross-strait relations based on the fundamental interests of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, especially introduces the new development of Chinese mainland's Taiwan policy at the beginning of the new century. The elaboration of these issues has great influence on doing well the work of the people in Taiwan Province Province today, enhancing the historical recognition of compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially the younger generation, to the motherland and the Chinese nation, thus eliminating barriers, enhancing understanding, carrying forward the fine traditions of Chinese culture, expanding exchanges, and promoting the process of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
With vivid historical facts, the book retaliated against all kinds of words and deeds of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces that attempted to split Taiwan Province Province and China and created "Taiwan Province Province independence", "two China" or "one China, one Taiwan", thus clearing the way for the development of cross-strait relations.
Developing cross-strait relations is the aspiration of the people on both sides of the strait; Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the fundamental interest of the Chinese nation. The future of Taiwan Province Province depends on the reunification of the motherland; The reunification of the motherland is related to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. No force can stop the trend of reunification across the Taiwan Province Strait. This is not only another scientific conclusion drawn from the book, but also a portrayal of the development practice of cross-strait relations. We firmly believe that the peaceful reunification of the motherland will be realized at an early date through the joint efforts of all Chinese sons and daughters.
