今年,举国上下以各种不同形式隆重纪念中国工农红军长征胜利60周年,弘扬以毛泽东为代表的老一辈无产阶级革命家开拓的中华民族的革命精神——长征精神。近十几年来,党史学界对于长征问题的研究,成绩斐然。然而,对于“长征”一词的由来及其演变过程,却少有问津。笔者根据能够见到的历史资料,对此作一初步考辨。 This year, the entire nation commemorated the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Red Army of Chinese workers and peasants in various forms and carried forward the spirit of the Long March of the Chinese nation pioneered by the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation represented by Mao Zedong. In the past decade or so, the study of the history of the Long March by the Party History School has achieved impressive results. However, there is very little interest in the origin and evolution of the term “long march.” According to the author can see the historical data, make a preliminary examination of this.
