As the main founder of the Communist Party of China and the People’s Republic of China, Mao Zedong left a rich political heritage for contemporary China. The political system of New China that Mao Zedong led in designing is a political exploration that respects the country’s historical heritage and cultural tradition under the guidance of Marxism, inspiring ideas for future system design. Mao Zedong established the basic paradigms of materialistic dialectics in China’s political practice, and summarized outstanding and superb leadership methods, and consummate art of political struggles, which are still worth learning from. Mao Zedong made popular among the people the view of value orientation by the common people and the emotion of moral idealism, and provided value reference for the construction of social morality.
