毛泽东作为伟大的马克思主义者，在中国革命与建设进程中逐步成长为伟大的无产阶级革命家、战略家和理论家。1921-1927年建党初期，毛泽东聚焦中国革命性质、对象、道路和革命力量等一系列问题，构建了独特的时局观。深入研究建党初期毛泽东的时局观，有助于理解毛泽东如何从无政府主义者转变为伟大的马克思主义者，并逐步成长为中国共产党和中国革命的领导者；更有利于从历史经验中学习借鉴如何在当今“百年未有之大变局”之下把握和分析当前国际形势，更好把握世界变局和中华民族变局，对推动实现第二个百年奋斗目标及中华民族伟大复兴具有重大战略意义。

建党初期，毛泽东时局观诞生有其深刻的时代背景：伴随着西方的步步入侵，近代中国跌入殖民地半殖民地深渊；中国社会结构发生根本变化，产生了新兴资产阶级和无产阶级；中国被迫融入全球化过程之中，仁人志士不断探索近代化之路。马克思主义经典作家的唯物史观和中华优秀传统文化是其理论渊源。这一时期毛泽东时局观的发展历程分两个阶段：1921年至1924年，中共初创时期毛泽东对时局的观察和把握主要围绕初步探索革命主题、分析革命方式和“联合战线”；1924年至1927年，此时毛泽东对时局的观察和把握主要集中于对资产阶级的再分析和农民运动问题。建党初期，毛泽东时局观主要有全局性的眼光、善于抓住主要矛盾、坚定的人民性这三个特点。毛泽东在建党初期观察把握时局意义深远，既促进了中国革命事业的进程，又奠定了马克思主义中国化的第一次历史性飞跃的理论基石。建党初期毛泽东的时局观对“百年未有之大变局”之局势中的指导意义在于应坚持实事求是、坚持贯彻群众路线和坚持独立自主。

As a great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist and theorist, Mao Zedong also had his own growth process.From 1921 to 1927, at the early stage of party building, Mao Zedong focused on a series of issues such as the nature, object, road and revolutionary power of the Chinese revolution and constructed a distinctive view of the current situation. An in-depth study of Mao Zedong's observations on the current situation in the early years of the Party can help to understand how Mao Zedong transformed from a non-Marxist to an outstanding Marxist politician. It is also useful to learn from historical experience how to grasp and analyse the current international situation in the context of the changes of a magnitude not seen in a century , and to better grasp the changes in the world and in the Chinese nation, which is of great strategic significance in promoting the achievement of the second hundred-year goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

In the early years of the Party, Mao Zedong's view of the current situation had a profound background: along with the Western invasion, modern China fell into a colonial and semi-colonial abyss; the social structure of China underwent fundamental changes, giving rise to an emerging bourgeoisie and proletariat; China was forced to integrate into the process of globalization, and people of benevolence and aspiration were constantly exploring the path of modernization. The classical Marxist writers' materialistic view of history and the excellent Chinese traditional culture are its theoretical sources.The development of Mao Zedong's view of the current situation in the early years of the Party was mainly reflected in two stages：the first stage was from 1921 to the beginning of the Party in 1924, when Mao Zedong's observation and grasp of the current situation mainly centred on the preliminary exploration of revolutionary themes, the development of the workers' movement and the promotion of the establishment of the "United Front"; the second stage was from 1924 to 1927, during the Great Revolution. The second stage was the period of the Great Revolution from 1924 to 1927, when Mao's observation and grasp of the current situation mainly focused on the reanalysis of the bourgeoisie and the issue of the peasant movement. Mao Zedong's view of the current situation at the early stage of party building was mainly characterised by three features：an overall vision, a good grasp of the main contradictions and a firm people's orientation. Mao Zedong's observation and grasp of the current situation at the early stage of party building also had far-reaching significance, both in facilitating the process of the Chinese revolutionary cause and in laying the theoretical cornerstones of the first historic leap. Finally, the significance of Mao Zedong's view of the current situation in the early days of the Party's establishment is that he should adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts; adhere to the practice of implementing the mass line; and adhere to the spirit of independence.
