Abstract

The Yan’an Period (1935-1948) was a crucial stage in achieving a historic breakthrough in the Sinicization of Marxism. During this historical period, with a view to rectifying dogmatist deviations within the Communist Party of China (CPC), addressing the intricate and volatile context of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, catering to the practical needs of the rapidly expanding revolutionary ranks, and advancing the theoretical development of Marxism itself, the CPC proactively promoted the integration of Marxism with China’s specific realities and secured a series of remarkable achievements. These accomplishments are mainly manifested in the following three aspects: first, it realized the first historic leap in the Sinicization of Marxism and established Mao Zedong Thought as the guiding ideology of the Party; second, it formulated the ideological line of seeking truth from facts and forged a set of scientific working methods represented by the mass line; third, it explored the distinctive revolutionary path of “encircling cities from the countryside” and accumulated valuable experience in the construction of revolutionary base areas. In essence, the theoretical explorations and practical endeavors of the Yan’an Period have provided profound and important enlightenment for advancing the cause of adapting Marxism to Chinese contexts in the new era.
