ABSTRACT: In the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet area, the Communist
Party of China carried out political
mobilization through rural tradition. Firstly, by making the masses feel
the improvement of their material life, it stimulated their traditional ethic
of gratitude. This ethic prompted them to join the Red Army. Secondly, it influenced
them with popular and vivid newspapers according to the traditional farmers. Thirdly,
the influence of the people of the Red Army or the Soviet government was used to lead their family members
and fellow villagers to join. The Communist Party of China succeeded in
mobilizing the masses to join the Red Army through the above efforts.
