The story of Chairman Mao and not being afraid of ghosts

In the past, the common people posted the door god, saying: "The door god door god rides a red horse and sticks to the door to guard his home. The door god door god carries a big knife, and the big ghosts and the little ghosts cannot enter." Clan power, husband power, and theocratic power, Chairman Mao once called:

" The underworld system from the Emperor Yama, the City God Temple King to the Land Bodhisattva, and the fairy system from the Jade Emperor God to various gods and monsters-always called ghosts and gods System .”

Ghosts are used to scare people. Under the long feudal system of old China, many different kinds of ghosts have been created, one by one calling the wind and rain. The monsters and ghosts of "Journey to the West" made a Sun Dasheng so busy, a monster dropped yesterday, and a monster was caught today. Tomorrow I don't know which ghost is waiting.

If there are ghosts, there will naturally be those who subdue demons and demons. Monkey King counts one, and Zhong Kui counts one.

Chairman Mao also told people not to be afraid of ghosts.

On July 14, 1919, in order to advocate a new trend of world revolution and human liberation, Chairman Mao founded the "Xiangjiang Review". In the inaugural issue, he called on people:

"Why don't you be afraid? , Don’t be afraid of ghosts, don’t be afraid of the dead, don’t be afraid of bureaucrats, don’t be afraid of warlords, and don’t be afraid of capitalists." "China is extremely dangerous now. It is not the danger of insufficient military strength and insufficient financial resources, nor the danger of falling apart in civil strife. The danger lies in the emptiness and corruption of the people's ideological circle in the whole country. China's 40 million people are almost the same. Thirty-nine million are superstitious. Superstitious gods and ghosts,Superstitious things, superstitious fate, superstitious power. I don’t recognize anyone, I don’t recognize myself, and I don’t recognize the truth.

　　 There are no real ghosts. Chairman Mao often turns the dark forces into ghosts and wants to wipe out all "humanized" ghosts. On the day, Chairman Mao wrote a New Year’s message for Xinhua News Agency, using the story of farmers and snakes to warn people and demanding that the revolution be carried through to the end. He said:

　　 "The big snakes and the little snakes entrenched in most of China’s land, Black snakes and white snakes, snakes with venomous teeth and snakes transformed into beauties, although they have felt the threat of winter, they are not frozen! The Chinese people never pity the wicked like snakes, and honestly believe that everything is playing tricks. Huaqiang, why should you pity this kind of wicked person, otherwise people who are not in line with the national conditions and not great enough, etc., are by no means loyal friends of the Chinese people. Why should a wicked person like a snake pity? Which worker, which peasant, and which soldier advocates pitying this kind of wicked person? There is indeed such a kind of "liberal of the Kuomintang" or "liberalism of the non-KMT" People", they advised the Chinese people to accept the "peace" of the U.S. and the Kuomintang, that is, they should treat the remnants of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism as gods, lest these treasures become extinct in the world. kind. But they are by no means workers, peasants, or soldiers, nor are they friends of workers, peasants, and soldiers.

Chairman Mao does not pity the "snakes that turn into beautiful women" at all. They must be eliminated resolutely, cleanly and thoroughly.

All strange smoke disappeared.

On the evening of October 3, 1950, Chairman Mao watched a joint performance of singing and dancing performed by the Southwestern Nationalities Art Troupe and Xinjiang Art Troupe in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai.He wrote a poem, "Huanxisha and Mr. Liu Yazi":

"The long night is hard to see the sky in Chixian County, a hundred years of demons and monsters dance lightly, and the people are not reunited with 500 million people. When a rooster sings, the world is white, and there are thousands of square music. In Yutian, poets will be more inexhaustible."

In this harmony poem, Chairman Mao used "a hundred years of demons and monsters dancing gracefully" to describe China in modern times. Since the Opium War, the demons have been in China. The land of no man has become a paradise for them to dance, causing endless suffering to hundreds of millions of Chinese people. The Chinese Communists have taken on the heavy responsibility of history, and the centuries-old monster has been completely expelled.

　　 Among the "ghost tribes" in China, there is a kind of "Plague God", which is not shallow to the Chinese people. Schistosomiasis is one of the most severe ones. How severe is it? Chairman Mao said it:

"In terms of destroying our lives, it is far stronger than any one or several imperialists that have fought us in the past. The Eight-Power Allied Forces and the War of Resistance against Japan are inferior to schistosomiasis in terms of destroying people. In addition to the people who died in history, there are still 10 million people affected by the epidemic, and 10 million people are threatened by the epidemic. Is it tolerable or intolerable?"

Chairman Mao called on the Chinese people to "send the plague god".

On June 30, 1958, Chairman Mao read from the People's Daily the news that schistosomiasis had been eliminated in Yujiang County, Zhejiang Province. He couldn't help but "imagine and sleepless at night. The breeze was shining, and the sun came to the window. Looking at the southern sky." , Xinran Mingbi", wrote "Seven Lv Two Songs·Send the Plague God":

One: "The green water and green mountains are in vain, the Chinese are helpless little bugs! Thousands of villages Xue Li left the arrow, ten thousand families Xiao Shu ghost singing. Sitting on the ground Traveling eighty thousand miles a day, surveying the sky to see a thousand rivers. The Cowherd wanted to ask about the gods of plague, and the same joys and sorrows passed away."

　　Second: "There are thousands of willows in the spring breeze, and six hundred million Shenzhou will make the world Shunyao." The red rain turns into waves at will, and the green hills turn into bridges deliberately. Tianlian Wuling silver hoe fell, and the earth moved Sanhe iron arms shook. If you ask Wenjun where he wants to go, the paper boat is burning brightly.

　　 In the process of socialist construction in New China, it was not peaceful, and it was often isolated and disturbed by hostile forces.

　　 In 1959, Chairman Mao once wrote a newspaper "Seven Laws". Feelings":

　　"The anti-Su Yixian made a group of frogs, and I like to see today’s anti-China war. The evil spirits are preaching, and the evil spirits open their mouths and haze. Shenzhou is more than a thousand miles of evil, Chixian originally contains thousands of evils. Searching for invaders all over the world, there is only one lone home here.

　　 On April 15, 1959, Chairman Mao said at the 16th Supreme State Council:

, He will run in and eat you. We are not afraid of ghosts, so we shelled Jinmen and Matsu. After the battle, the Taiwan Strait is calm and the passage is unimpeded, and all ships do not interfere.

On May 6, 1959, Chairman Mao met with delegations from 11 fraternal countries including the Soviet Union, Hungary, Bulgaria, North Korea, Vietnam, etc., including party and government, trade unions, culture, women, education, and journalism. The envoys of these countries to China talked about ghosts:

　　 "There are people in the world who are afraid of ghosts, and some are not afraid of ghosts. Are ghosts afraid of him, or are they not afraid of it? There are some stories about ghosts in Chinese novels. I think it will be in your novels. I want to compile the story of not being afraid of ghosts into a booklet. Experience has proved that ghosts are not scary.The more you are afraid of ghosts, the more ghosts there will be. If you are not afraid of ghosts, there will be no ghosts. There is a story of sitting at night in a wild life. One night, Kuangsheng sat in the house. There was a ghost standing outside the window, sticking his head into the window, ugly, sticking his tongue out, the head is so big and the tongue is so long. What about Crazy Life? He painted ink on his face, like a ghost, and also stuck out his tongue, and looked at the ghost for one hour, two hours, three hours, and then the ghost ran away. There are a lot of ghosts in the world today. There are a large group of ghosts in the Western world, that is, imperialism. There are also large groups of ghosts in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, namely imperialist running dogs and reactionaries. ...Our strategy is to give the working people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America an education, so that the Communist Parties in these countries will learn not to be afraid of ghosts.

　　 On May 10, 1959, Chairman Mao met with the delegation of the People’s Congress of the Democratic Republic of Germany. He again mentioned ghosts and planned to compile a booklet on ghosts:

　　 "Don’t be afraid of ghosts, ghosts This is the case, the more you are afraid of it, the more it will be; if you are not afraid of it, it will be gone. Do you have such materials in German literature that show that some people are afraid of ghosts, and some are not afraid of ghosts?... There are some stories about ghosts in Chinese novels, and I think you will also have them in your novels. I want to compile stories and novels about being not afraid of ghosts into a booklet. ...Marxism-Leninism teaches us not to be afraid of ghosts. The ghost of capitalism is true, but don't be afraid. Hitler is a big ghost, and Chiang Kai-shek is not a small ghost. Before him, there were ghosts such as Yuan Shikai and the Manchu Emperor. "

　　 Chairman Mao attached great importance to the preparation of this ghost-free booklet, and arranged it to the then Secretary of the Chinese Writers Association, Director of the Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Ministry member He Qifang. Through this book, he wants to inspire and call on people not to be afraid of the sky, the earth, the ghosts, the big ghosts, the little ghosts, the new ghosts, and the old ghosts. They don’t believe in the heavens, the earth, and the gods, and unite and work together. Socialism.

January 4, 1961Chairman Mao talked with He Qifang and proposed amendments to the preface written by He Qifang for "A Story Not Afraid of Ghosts". He said:

　　 "In addition to strategic contempt, we must also pay attention to tactics. For specific ghosts, For ghosts one by one, you must analyze it in detail, pay attention to tactics, and pay attention to it. Otherwise, you will not be able to defeat it. There are examples of this in the book you compiled. You can write a few hundred more words and put emphasis on tactics. After the preface is revised, show it to me again."　　

　 In February 1961, "The Story of Not Afraid of Ghosts" came out. Chairman Mao became a "voluntary salesman" and repeatedly recommended it to foreign friends on diplomatic occasions.

On January 14, 1962, when he met with the Albanian Government Economic Delegation led by the Vice-Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Kezhi Lezi, he said:

　　 "We published a book called "Not afraid of ghosts" "Story", there are English and French versions, have you read it? If you find the English and French versions, I can give it to you. This is the first story book of this kind, very interesting. It says that imperialism is a big ghost. ××× is half human and half ghost. ×× is a ghost. I haven’t talked about other ghosts yet. They were compiled in the spring of 1959!”

1961　　On the 17th, Chairman Mao met with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India, Ai Di, who returned to China via Beijing after participating in the 22nd National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. I felt it and wrote "Seven Lüs and Comrade Guo Moruo":

　　 "As soon as wind and thunder rise from the earth, there will be a pile of bones. A monk is a fool, and a demon is a disaster for a ghost. A golden monkey rises up. Great, Yuyu clarified thousands of lières. Cheers to Dasheng Sun today, only because of the return of the demon fog."

　　 August 1, 1963,After Chairman Mao saw the deeds of "A Good Eight Company on Nanjing Road", he wrote "Miscellaneous Poems · Eight Lian Songs" which read:

"All the army and the people must stand on their own. Don't be afraid of oppression or persecution. Don't be afraid of swords, don't be afraid of beings. Halberd. Not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of charms. Not afraid of emperors, not afraid of thieves. Strange children, such as pines and cypresses. Go up to the sky, Aoshuangxue."

　　 Chairman Mao once wrote in the commentary on the report "Introducing Anhui's Experience":

"If the communists are afraid of ghosts, then they don’t look like they are."

Chairman Mao led the people to fight against ghosts, not only did the Chinese people dared to fight against ghosts for the span of 1span. Shackles, and shaped the spirit of "not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of charms, not afraid of emperors, not afraid of thieves" in the hearts of the people, which eliminated the people’s superstition of “ghosts” and became the spiritual weapon for the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and dangers and threats from all hostile forces. .
