"三大政策"と黄埔軍校

Abstract

The Three Cardinal Policies is the name given to the three policies of "Alliance with Soviet Russia, " "Co-operation with the Communist Party, " and "Assistance to the Workers and Peasants, " that were linked to an interpretation of Sun Yat-sen's New Three Principles of the People. This was the new slogan that the Communist Party members in the Whampoa Academy thought up in the summer of 1926 against the background of promoting the Nationalist Revolution. Indeed, this academy itself was the place where the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party under the United Front were the most severe, and in order to counteract Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Communist policies, the CCP members of the Whampoa Academy arranged Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary policies into three items that Chiang himself could not help but acknowledge and called them the "Three Cardinal Policies." That is to say, this new name was a historic term that was produced by the Nationalist Revolution itself that came greatly to influence later history. Therefore, it is a mistake to say that it was unrelated to the thought of Sun Yat-sen. Moreover, it is probably not accurate to regard the policy as having existed before the beginning of the United Front period.
