2020: “The Six Classics are History” and the Sinicization of Marxism
【Summary】 The relationship between classics and history is the core issue in the history of Chinese thought, running through the entire process of historical development since the Zhou and Qin dynasties. The Communist Party of China has always faced its own unique relationship between classics and history, that is, the relationship between Marxist “classics” and Chinese practice “history,” with the core proposition being the sinicization of Marxism. It is worth noting that the sinicization of Marxism and the method of handling the relationship between classics and history in “all classics are history” are very similar. This is not a coincidence, but has its theoretical origins: on the one hand, the Communist Party of China is the inheritor of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation and consciously draws nourishment from it from the very beginning of its establishment; on the other hand, Fan Wenlan, as a key figure, became a crucial link between Mao Zedong and Zhang Xuecheng. Just as the proposition of the sinicization of Marxism was put forward, Fan Wenlan arrived in Yan’an, and his grand theory of the evolution of Chinese classical studies was highly valued by Mao Zedong. Faced with similar issues of the relationship between classics and history, there are also key figures as the intellectual link, and the relationship between the theory of “all classics are history” and the sinicization of Marxism has an inherent logical connection, which has significant methodological implications.
