On peasant uprising in history and modern folk literature

Abstract

To deal with the issue of historical development, we should emphasize the important role played by history by the masses. Is history created by heroes or heroes created by history? Is the hero overcoming the blindness of the masses, or does the hero come from the masses and become the embodiment of the feelings, will and beliefs of the masses? In dealing with the peasant uprising in the historical development, we have chosen a new way that is, taking the people’s evaluation as an important basis, rather than simply basing on historical documents and using so-called materials to speak. Moreover, it especially emphasizes the significance of oral history and the collection of folk literature among the masses which are not moved by the rulers.
