Yan'an Rectification Movement

The Yan'an Rectification Movement (1942–1945) was a political campaign by the Chinese Communist Party to unify its members, strengthen ideological discipline, and eliminate dissent. During this period, leaders promoted study, self-criticism, and adherence to party doctrines, aiming to create a cohesive and loyal organization. It helped to consolidate Mao Zedong’s leadership and establish core principles that guided the Party’s future actions. Essentially, it was a process of aligning all party members under a shared ideology and discipline, ensuring the party’s unity and effectiveness in pursuing its revolutionary goals.
