Mao Zedong's views on peasant uprisings in history always adhere to materialism, which shows both the positive side and the limitations. He refuted many ancient books that called the leaders of peasant uprisings "thieves", "bandits", "thieves" and "bandits" and gave a high historical evaluation. He likes reading biographies of leaders of peasant uprisings in past dynasties. He repeatedly read the biographies of Chen Sheng, Guangwu and Li Zicheng. He believes that in feudal society, only class struggle, peasant uprising and peasant war are the real driving forces of historical development. 1958, when he was reading the Biography of Zhang Lu, he wrote a long passage, emphasizing this view: "There have been countless peasant revolutionary struggles of different sizes in past dynasties, and their nature is of course completely different from the current Marxist revolutionary movement. But one thing is the same, that is, the vast impoverished peasant class dreams of equality, freedom, getting rid of poverty and adequate food and clothing. " "Our country from the end of the Han Dynasty to today more than one thousand years, heaven and earth. But in a sense. For example, poor peasants and lower-middle peasants are poor and have some similarities. At the end of Han Dynasty, the Yellow Scarf Uprising in the north was very large, which was called Taiping Road. In the south, the mass movement led by Yu Ji is also Taoism. In the west, there is Pentecostalism. According to historical records, Wudoumi Road and Taiping Road are similar, which is a route movement. " "China, from the uprising in osawa Township, Chen She at the end of Qin Dynasty to the Boxer Rebellion in the end of Qing Dynasty, for two thousand years, the large-scale peasant revolutionary movement almost never stopped. Like the whole world, the history of China is a history of class struggle. " This view has been fully reflected in his History of He Xinlang's Reading: it is the labor of making tools that plays a decisive role for human beings to bid farewell to apes and enter childhood; After entering the class society, the bloody battle of class struggle of "bowing to each other" is full of historical scrolls, and the history of "cold and hot" swings in this changeable situation; After reading a history, people are left with only a few lines of history. The story of kings and princes is just a lie. The truly romantic figures are slaves and peasants who steal their feet to "rise up and wave Huang Yue", that is to say, "the people made history", not princes and princes.
