为了纪念毛泽东同志九十周年诞辰,本刊特刊登毛泽东同志的五封信。这些信都是提倡下去作调查的。 调查研究是毛泽东同志一贯提倡的一种重要的工作方法。下马看花是调查,走马看花也是调查。将调查得来的各种材料,用全面分析的方法加以研究,从而得出指导工作的方针、政策和办法,这样可以较为切合实际,较少失误。 毛泽东同志在信中还提倡党外人士下去作调查,这不仅有助于他们接触新事物,吸收新思想,同时对于鼓舞信心,统一认识,解决存在的问题,也收到了良好的效果。在当前新的历史时期,面对着许多新情况、新问题,我们仍应继续提倡调查研究的方法。无论党内或是党外,所有担负一定领导责任而又有条件下去作调查的同志,如果都能这样去做。对于四化建设,必将大有裨益。 毛泽东同志这五封信,选自中共中央文献研究室编辑的、即将出版的《毛泽东书信选集》。现予刊载,供读者学习。 In commemoration of the 90th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong’s birth, this special issue of Comrade Mao Zedong’s five letters. These letters are all advocated for investigation. Investigation and research are an important method of work consistently advocated by Comrade Mao Zedong. Dismissed watching flowers is a survey, take a look at flowers is also a survey. We will study all kinds of materials that we have obtained through surveys and find out the guidelines, policies and measures for guiding our work. This will be more realistic and less error-prone. In his letter, Comrade Mao Zedong also advocated that non-Party personnel go down for investigation. This will not only help them reach new things and absorb new ideas, but also receive good results in encouraging confidence, unifying their understanding and resolving their existing problems. In the new historical period, facing many new situations and new problems, we should still continue to advocate the methods of investigation and study. No matter whether the party or the party is outside the party, all comrades who bear certain leadership responsibilities and conduct investigations under the conditions can do so. For the four modernizations, will be of great benefit. Comrade Mao Zedong’s five letters were selected from the forthcoming Selected Works of Mao Zedong’s Letters compiled by the Literature Research Office of the CPC Central Committee. Now to be published for readers to learn.
