Extreme unfairness leads to the collapse of society, thus achieving new relative fairness, and so on.
In China, the extreme disparity between the rich and the poor is the driving force of the historical periodic law.
The problem of historical periodic law was put forward by Mr. Huang Yanpei in Yan 'an on 1945.
Mr. Huang Yanpei asked Chairman Mao whether China could jump out of the historical periodic law of "prosperity is boundless and death is sudden".
Comrade * * * replied: Yes, this is democracy.

In the historical cycle of China, almost every dynasty that won long-term stability for 200-300 years started from breaking the original social structure and achieving relative fairness through the "land equalization system".
In the agricultural society, "field" is the land and the most important means of production, just like today's capital.
The so-called "land equalization system" is, of course, land without land per capita, not the land of rich giants and poor people.

Judging from the historical process of China, China, who was still thinking about governance after the chaos at that time, had to make up the lesson of fairness.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen still wants to equalize land rights and control capital, which can only be better than Dr. Sun Yat-sen 1949.
Only by making up this lesson can the Chinese nation get rid of 1840.
* * * and Huang Yanpei: Jumping out of the cyclical law of "ups and downs"
Automatically swing the years, rest, and embark on the road of rejuvenation.
Different from other dynasties in history, the historical environment of New China determines that China still needs to make up the lesson of "modernization".
China needs to build a modern industry quickly, which requires large-scale and rapid accumulation.
How to realize industrial accumulation and fairness to most people on the basis of low level was a great challenge in China at that time.
In addition, the generation that established the new system is well versed in the history of China.
In the history of China for thousands of years, the cycle of "fairness-unfairness" may have formed an inextricable historical knot in their hearts; They may have seen the role and weight of fairness in China's chaos control through the historical situation of chaos control, and they know that people can carry a boat or capsize it, so as to try to find a system that can guarantee fairness, ensure China's long-term stability and avoid repeating the historical cycle.
This interaction of historical factors has formed a new system with fairness as the core by mobilizing resources.
At that time, only * * * was able to realize the concentration of resources, complete the process of primitive accumulation of capital and re-accumulation completed by western countries on the long road of development in a relatively short period of time, and ensure that the accumulated wealth was used to build China's own modern industry.
This rapid accumulation is obviously at the expense of restraining consumption.
In this case, justice, especially the fairness of distribution, is very important.
Therefore, the choice of fair system at that time was not only a summary of thousands of years' history of China, but also the necessity of modern history of China.
Avoiding the historical cycle through a fair system may be a historical exploration made by a generation represented by Mr. * *.
If we look at that change in the long period of history, can we form an understanding that it laid the foundation for China to get rid of the historical periodic law completely?
This is worth pondering, and it is also worth pondering.
