1978-1981年毛泽东历史地位的确立及其意义

在毛泽东逝世后的一段时间，如何科学地认识毛泽东的历史地位，全面、正确地评价毛泽东和毛泽东思想，总结“化大革命”的经验教训，是一个非常迫切而又复杂的问题。1978年的真理标准大讨论。开始比较集中地提出并初步讨论了这个问题，与会人员虽发表了不少有见地的意见，但还是没有解决实质性的问题，直至邓小平发表 《坚持四项基本原则》讲话和叶剑英发表国庆30周年讲话后，全党中经过一年多的共同努力，通过党的十一届六中全会《关于建国以来党的若干历史问题的决议》，才得以完满解决，实事求是地确立毛泽东的历史地位和毛泽东思想的指导作用，对于统一全党、全军、全国各族人民的思想认识，实现新的历史转折，产生了极为深远的影响。
