What do Chairman Mao's three red flags mean?
Three red flags refer to "the general line, the Great Leap Forward and the people's commune".

1The general line of socialist construction, the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune put forward by the Central Committee in the middle of 1958 1960 were called "three magic weapons" before May, and were renamed "three red flags" after May.

The appearance of Three Red Flags is the exploration of socialist construction by the first generation of producers with Mao Zedong as the core. Half a century has passed since the "three red flags". Looking back, this is a completely blind and rash question.

The general line is the blind rash advance in the general guiding ideology of economic construction, the Great Leap Forward is the blind rash advance in the development of productive forces, and the people's commune is the blind rash advance reflected in the reform of production relations and social system.

Historical background

In the summer of 1955, the central high-level officials disagreed on the development speed of agricultural cooperation. At the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in June+10 this year, Mao Zedong emphasized: "If we take good measures, we can make the cooperatives run faster and better." Later, at the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting, Mao Zedong proposed that socialist economic construction should be "more, faster and better".

As early as September 1957, the Third Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China kicked off the "Great Leap Forward" in agriculture. The National Agricultural Development Program (Revised Draft) adopted at this plenary session (from 1956 to 1967) calls for a "great leap forward" in agriculture and rural work. This is the first time that the CPC Central Committee has sent a signal of "Great Leap Forward" to the people of the whole country.

Under the Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong and the CPC Central Committee sprouted the idea of changing the rural grass-roots organizational structure and implementing the "people's commune", which made the utopian ideal become a reality in China.
