During the Cultural Revolution in China, it was a farm established according to Mao Zedong's "May 7th Directive", and it was a place where cadres of the party and government organs and intellectuals of scientific research, culture and education departments in China concentrated on labor education. "Cadre School" is the abbreviation of "Cadre School", and its name is quite different. In fact, it is a place of "disguised labor reform".

Second, five seven:

Point to the five seven instructions. 1on may 7th, 966, Mao Zedong wrote a letter to Lin Biao, which was later called "the may 7th instruction". In this directive, Mao Zedong asked all walks of life in the country to set up colleges and universities, study politics, military affairs and culture, engage in agricultural sideline production, set up some small and medium-sized factories, and at the same time produce some products they need and exchange with the state, and criticize the bourgeoisie. The "May 7th Directive" also became the school-running policy during the "Cultural Revolution", which caused confusion in the education system and teaching order.

Extended data

Form a background:

At the beginning of 1966, Mao Zedong's analysis of China's political situation changed further. He believes that at this time, a considerable part of China's leadership was not in the hands of the proletariat, but fell into the hands of the "capitalist establishment". The "capitalist establishment" exists in the central government, in provinces, in regions, in counties, in communes, and even in production brigades and teams. Moreover, on the surface, factories, institutions, schools and troops all have "capitalist establishment"

With the formation of Mao Zedong's understanding, he felt more urgent for cadres to take part in labor. However, he saw that in the past, the central government only called on cadres to participate in labor, but the implementation situation varied greatly from place to place. It can be said that most of them have not been seriously implemented. Many places become mere formality and go through the motions.

While Mao Zedong was seriously considering this issue, Lin Biao sent a report to Mao Zedong. What Lin Biao sent to Mao Zedong was1Report on Further Improving the Agricultural and Sideline Production of the Army, which was sent to the Central Military Commission by the General Logistics Department on May 2, 966. The report said: judging from the situation in recent years, it is indeed a major event for the army to engage in production, which is of great political and economic significance:

(a), restored the old tradition of our army.

(2) A batch of farmland can be reclaimed for the country.

(3) It can provide a batch of grain for the country.

(4) All production units can still carry out certain political education and military training.

(5) The production of frontier troops can be combined with the development of frontier economy and national defense construction, which is of special significance.

Our general idea is that if the army engages in more production during the war preparation period and provides four or five billion Jin of grain for the country within three to five years, it is equivalent to preparing rations for about 78 million people a year. This is one of the material conditions for combat readiness.

After reading this report, Mao Zedong affirmed the five practices and general ideas put forward in the report. But Mao Zedong's way of thinking is not limited to the scope of military production. He thinks deeper and further. He is engaged in production in the army and is linked to the problem of running a "big school". This kind of "big school" should be run by all walks of life. In a "big school", you can study politics, military affairs and culture, and also engage in production, thus forming a system. This system coincides with his original idea of running a people's commune. 1958.

Based on this consideration, Mao Zedong wrote a letter to Lin Biao on May 7th, 1966. This letter is also called the May 7th instruction.
