“Revolution of the System”and“System of Revolution” : Reading Huang Daoxuan's Iron Current: The Operation of the Revolutionary System of the Chinese Communist Party during the Wartime (1937-1945)

“系统的革命”与“革命的系统”—读黄道炫《铁水流：战时中共革命系统的运作（1937-1945）》

Huang Daoxuan's book Iron Current:The Operation of the Revolutionary System of the Chinese Communist Party during the Wartime(1937-1945)describes the specific operation of the CCP's disciplinary system,policy implementation system,and survival and resistance system during the wartime period with informative historical materials,outlining the CCP's rigid and flexible character traits,and revealing the interplay between the operation of the revolutionary system and the CCP's character traits,which provides new perspectives on understanding the growth of the CCP and the Chinese Revolution.It provides a new perspective for understanding the growth of the CCP and the Chinese revolution.The“revolution of the system”and the“system of the revolution ” are important manifestations of the systemic character of the Chinese revolution,which are closely related and mutually influential,and have jointly shaped the CCP's character traits of rigidity and flexibility.Based on Huang Daoxuan's thesis,this paper explores the dual facets of rigidity and flexibility of the CCP during the wartime period from the dimensions of“systemic revolution”and“revolutionary system”:on the one hand,the CCP insisted on pursuing a comprehensive,holistic,and thorough“systemic revolution”;on the other hand,the CCP insisted on pursuing the“systemic revolution” and“systemic system”of the Chinese revolution.On the one hand,the CCP insisted on pursuing a comprehensive,holistic and thorough“systemic revolution”to maintain the rigidity of a Marxist party;on the other hand,the CCP achieved a dialectical unity of principle and flexibility in the operation of the“revolutionary system,”highlighting the flexible side of the CCP's political party under the premise of rigidity.The system concept is the CPC's political requirement and empirical wisdom,and it is precisely the CPC's mastery and mature application of the system concept that lies behind the formation of the character trait of rigidity and flexibility.

黄道炫在《铁水流：战时中共革命系统的运作（1937-1945）》书中以翔实的史料，描释了战时敌后中共的规训系统、政策的执行贯彻系统、生存与抵抗系统的具体运作，勾勒出中共刚柔相济性格特质，揭示了革命系统运作与中共性格特质的互塑关系，为理解中共成长与中国革命提供了新的视角。“系统的革命”与“革命的系统”是中国革命的系统性特征的重要体现，两者紧密关联，互相影响，共同塑造了中共刚柔相济的性格特质。本文基于黄道炫的论著，从“系统的革命”与“革命的系统”两个维度，探讨了战时中共政党刚性与柔性的双重面相：一方面，中共坚持追求全面的、整体的、彻底的“系统的革命”，保持马克思主义政党的刚性；另一方面中共在“革命的系统”运作中，做到了原则性与灵活性的辩证统一，凸显出中共政党的在刚性前提下的柔性一面。系统观念是中共的政治要求与经验智慧，刚柔相济性格特质形成的背后，恰恰是中共对系统观念的掌握与成熟运用。
