In 1965, Chairman Mao, who was in his seventies, missed the revolutionary struggle years.
html On May 24, accompanied by his staff, he returned to the red hot land of Jinggangshan . During this period, he told the people around him: The establishment of the branch in the company and the development of new party members are all Shuikou's affairs. Shuikou is a good place, where we developed the first batch of party members of the Autumn Harvest Uprising .
Old address of Shuikou
According to public information, it was at Shuikou that Chairman Mao presided over the only party membership ceremony for the development of party members. This ceremony of was short but not simple. It created many firsts and has a profound impact on today.
From building the branch in the company to presiding over the party joining ceremony
In September 1927, Chairman Mao led the Autumn Harvest Uprising. Because the plan to attack Changsha was frustrated, the troops moved to Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province on the 29th. At that time, the army had a regiment, which was an armed force of warlords. When the revolutionary struggle was not going well, the leader of the regiment immediately rebelled and ran away with the entire team. When
came to Sanwan Village , the team was sparse with less than 1,000 people left. Luo Ronghuan once recalled: At that time, even if the troops did not collapse, they might become rogues.

Chairman Mao deeply thought about the situation facing the army. He believed that if the army is not to be defeated, it must rely on political army building to enhance the party's cohesion at the grassroots level.
Therefore, during the rest time in Sanwan Village, Chairman Mao made three major decisions: ① Reduce the division into a regiment. ② The branch is established in the company, the party group is established in the squad, and the party representative is established in the company. ③Establish a democratic system and implement equality between officers and soldiers. is the famous " Sanwan adapted ". The great feat of "the branch was built to connect with " has since created a steel division that cannot be defeated or delayed.
After the "Sanwan Adaptation", the spirit of the army took on a completely new look. Half a month later, the troops arrived at Shuikou Town, Yanling County, Hunan Province. Everywhere the troops go, they must actively publicize the party's ideas and strive to recruit new party members. Many poor people, attracted by the glory of the Communist Party of China, have moved closer to party organizations.
On October 15, Chairman Mao personally came to the 4th Company to inquire about the development of party members. Luo Ronghuan reported the situation of the new party members to the chairman in detail. Then, the chairman gave instructions to gather all the new party members and hold a party joining ceremony.
The ceremony was held in the attic of the Ye family ancestral hall. At that time, Luo Ronghuan took Zhang Zongxun and others to carefully prepare and decorate the venue. There were several benches and a small square table in the venue. A kerosene lamp was lit on the table. A party flag made of red cloth hung on the wall, with the three Russian letters "CCP" temporarily written on it. Abbreviation for the Communist Party of China.
Historical scene restoration
The abbreviation of "CCP" (the Chinese communist Part) is now officially known as "CPC (the communist Part of China). The main difference is that the former expresses the Communist Party established by the Chinese, while the latter expresses This political party belongs to China, the Communist Party of China. On the other side of the party flag, there is also a red cloth that says " Sacrifice individuals, work hard for revolution, class struggle, obey the organization, strictly keep secrets, and never betray the party". The atmosphere at that time was particularly solemn and solemn. There were party representatives, party introducers such as Chairman Mao, Luo Ronghuan, Zeng Shi'e, and Zhang Zongxun, as well as 6 new party members: Chen Shi, Lai Yi, and Li Heng. , Ouyang Jian, Yan Hui and Liu Yan.
After the ceremony began, each party representative introduced the new party members. Chairman Mao explained the mission and significance of the Communist Party of China to everyone. Then he asked them one by one. The motivation of the new party members to join the party was when they walked up to a soldier and asked him: Why do you want to join the Communist Party? The soldier replied: We must stand up, defeat the local tyrants and evil gentry, and we must be more resolute in the revolution.
It can be said that the ideology of the Communist Party of China! and ideas, which resonate deeply with the demands of the working people.Following the Communist Party, the ex-serfs took the idea of singing deeply into their hearts.
After asking questions one by one, Chairman Mao led the new party members to face the party flag, solemnly raised his right fist, and read the oath. The new party members followed the oath loudly. After taking the oath, he encouraged the new party members and made demands.
Although the ceremony was very brief, everyone present was deeply impressed. It also set a precedent for future generations to standardize the party's swearing-in ceremony for joining the party.
formed the first recorded oath to join the party
The oath to join the party is an oath that needs to be recited at the swearing-in ceremony for joining the party after becoming a probationary party member.
From the convening of the First Congress in 1921 to the failure of the Great Revolution in 1927, our party has never had a unified and standardized oath and oath requirements for joining the party.
During this period, some party members spontaneously took the oath when joining the party. According to the memories of Wang Shusheng, who joined the party on February 13, 1926, the oath he read was: I voluntarily join the Communist Party of China, obey the party's discipline, fight for communism throughout my life, strictly keep secrets, and vow not to betray the party. (recorded in "The Biography of Wang Shusheng")
He Yeduo's remaining oath
On January 25, 1931, when He Yeduo, a farmer from Beitian Village, Yongxin, Jiangxi Province, secretly joined the party, he wrote his oath of joining the party in the middle of a piece of red cloth, although there were There are many typos, but the content is basically the same as the content of Chairman Mao's oath, but the order is different.
It can be said that judging from He Yeduo's surviving oath, it can be roughly confirmed that the oath that Chairman Mao read at that time was the first widely used oath to join the Party with well-documented evidence. Among them, the vow that " will never betray the party and " has always been the core content.
When Comrade Chen Yun wrote "The Issue of Developing Party Members" on January 25, 1939, he specifically mentioned the "oath", a total of eight articles, the last of which was also " to be indomitable and never rebel against the party". This oath also became the most standard oath during the Anti-Japanese War.
Chen Yun's version of the oath
During the period of the Liberation War, the organizational departments and propaganda departments of each army and base area successively clarified the oath of joining the party, but they were not completely unified. However, "Fight for the cause of communism ", " Obey the organization ", " Keep secrets ", " Never betray the party " and other contents are all reflected.
The picture comes from the Internet
On October 1, 1949, after the founding of New China, the oath to join the party had relatively standardized and unified content, and clarified the obligations that party members should fulfill and the direction of their efforts. However, there is also a feature where people can draft their own oath to join the party.
On September 12, 1982, the new "Constitution of the Communist Party of China" adopted by the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China officially included the oath of joining the party. The 280-word oath to join the Party comprehensively, accurately, systematically and scientifically summarizes the requirements and responsibilities of Party members and has been used ever since.
Oath to Join the Party
Comparing Chairman Mao's first version of the oath and today's standard oath, we can see that although the content has been expanded, the main meaning and core content are basically the same. This also means that the basic requirements for party members are consistent.
formed the oath-taking ceremony for joining the party that is still in use today. The party constitution clearly states: " Prospective party members must face the party flag and take the oath of joining the party." Although the content of the oath and oath has only been clarified, in actual work, most party organizations have gradually formed a relatively tacit set of oath-taking ceremonies to further strengthen ritual education and enhance the solemnity, seriousness and educational nature of joining the party. .
The swearing-in ceremony for new party members of the Hubei Aid Medical Team
includes: ① playing and singing "The Internationale"; ② reading out the list of new party members; ③ taking the oath and taking the oath of the new party members; ④ speaking on behalf of new party members; ⑤ speaking on behalf of old party members; ⑥ party The person in charge of the organization put forward hopes and requirements; ⑦ played and sang " March of the Volunteers ". The occasion where the ceremony is held is often a place with red educational significance and revolutionary commemorative significance.
Among them, playing and singing "The Internationale" was actually proposed by Chairman Mao.After Sanwan was reorganized, Chairman Mao not only standardized: The swearing-in scene should generally have a party flag, a host, introducer, new party members should be present, and there should also be an oath to join the party. Afterwards, he solemnly proposed: "When we hold the oath-taking ceremony to join the Party, we should also sing "The Internationale" as an agenda item."
The oath-taking ceremony for new members of the Shanghai Medical Aid Team to join the Party
Ceremonies such as facing the party flag, swearing oaths, and singing "The Internationale" have actually become an important form of strengthening party member education at the solemn moment when new members join the party.
From the initial 50 party members to 96.712 million party members today, our party continues to grow and develop. The oath is changing and the rituals are changing, but the party's original intention and mission have never changed, and the standards and requirements for party members have never changed. Unchanged.
From 1927, when Chairman Mao presided over the party joining ceremony for the only time, to today, 95 years later, that solemn ceremony and sacred oath have been influencing and inspiring new party members one after another.
