中共建政後統戰工作的歷史回顧：彭真的角色和活動

An Historical Review of the United Front Works After the Founding of the People’s Republic of China: The Roles and Activities of Peng Zhen

中共自詡統一戰線為其革命成功的「三大法寶」之一。本文聚焦中共第一代「領導集體」成員彭真在各個階段參與中共統戰工作的政治角色與活動，並以之為軸線，扼要檢視中共建政後至「文革」以前，以及「改革開放」初期其統戰工作的發展歷程、理論主張和實踐情形。本文旨在挖掘和重建彭真在中共統戰歷史中的重要角色（中共官方傳記對此未予爬梳，西方學界也無專論），也希冀提供一個歷史視野，觀察中共統戰工作指涉內涵、對象範圍、政治效應的變化軌跡。

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) praised itself on the united front works as one of the “three magic weapons” for the success of its revolution. The article focuses on the relevant political roles and activities of Peng Zhen, who was one of the main members of the first generation of the central leadership group of the CCP. Peng Zhen deeply participated at the CCP’s united front works during various periods. The article uses it as an axis to briefly examine the history, the theoretical arguments and practices of united front works of the CCP throughout history - from the founding of the People’s Republic of China, to the pre-Cultural Revolution period, and the initial stage of the “Reform and Opening-Up period.” The article aims at exploring and rebuilding Peng Zhen’s important roles in the history of the CCP’s united front works, as the official biography of Peng Zhen does not deal with this issue, and there is also no study that focuses on it in the Western academic circles. The article also provides an historical perspective to observe the trajectory of changes in the connotation, scope of objects, and political consequences of the CCP’s united front works.
