Red Flag

This is the theoretical magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It is a bimonthly magazine published on the 1st and 16th of each month. It was first published in June 1958, when the Great Leap Forward policy began, and has always followed the style of a white cover with a red title in Mao Zedong's handwriting. The editor-in-chief at the time of its founding was Chen Boda, a brain of Mao Zedong who was ousted in 1970 during the Cultural Revolution, and the opening article of the first issue was Mao Zedong's "Introducing a Certain Cooperative Society." It played a major role during the Cultural Revolution as a party organ that aimed to arm people with theory through Mao Zedong Thought, but it was discontinued with its 12th issue published on June 16, 1988, and was renamed Qiushi in July, edited by the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China.

中国共産党中央委員会の理論雑誌。毎月1日、16日発行の半月刊。「大躍進」政策が始まる1958年6月に創刊され、白表紙に毛沢東(もうたくとう／マオツォートン)書の赤い題字というスタイルで一貫している。創刊時の編集長は、文化大革命期の70年に失脚した、毛沢東のブレーン陳伯達(ちんはくたつ／チェンポーター)で、創刊号の巻頭文は毛沢東の「ある合作社を紹介する」だった。毛沢東思想による理論武装を目ざす党の機関誌として文革期にも大きな役割を果たしたが、88年6月16日発行の12期で廃刊となり、7月より中国共産党中央党学校の編集による『求是』に衣替えをした。
