Mao‘s 6 military writings illustrated
the changing situation of the
battlefield and instructed them to
overcome them with courage and
adaptability. The Kuomintang army
was devastated and defeated in many
battlefields, where The Communist
Party gains victory with strategies and
battlefield tactics. He also wrote on
the ―Problems of the policy of
revolutionary warfare‖ which helped
the army to become prepared of the
battlefield complexities.
Regular
warfare and guerrilla
warfare
were
separated
and
analyzed
by
his
writing. He also
supported the long
term war instead of
short term war as it
weakens the enemy
from the core of its
power
to
the
periphery in the warzone.
Mao‘s policy and
tactics were heavily influenced by
Tsun zu, who was the most influential
ancient military strategist. He in his
writings suggested and advised man
battlefield strategy to the soldiers and
the commander in achieving victory in

Mao‘s
contribution can
be analyzed from
many
different
aspects. From the
founder of the
nation to the state
leadership,
his
passion
was
devoted for the
development
of
the country. He slowly took long term
policies as well which transformed
agrarian China to the modern
industrialized China. Altogether, he
was a multifaceted leader and a
successful
military
strategist.

soldiers to achieve their military
objectives also.

Through Cultural Revolution Mao
elevated political sloganeering to an
art form. Cultural Revolution actually
was planned to reshape the society on
the basis of adopting new norms and
replacing the old ones by them. The
posters and slogans eventually
become popular but failed to bring a
long term effect to the society. One of
the slogans is – ―Let 100 flowers
blossom”. Which means let 100
school of thoughts contend. This was
the trend to allow criticism from the
inside and outside of the Communist
party and to consider them as positive
criticism which could help the party to
correct their mistake and to advance
towards tolerance.
But when it
crossed the limit of patience and
tolerance of the
leaders, it was
abandoned also.
