《Rural China》2022年第2期刊发郭心钢老师《Moving Closer to Village Tradition: Analysis of the Problem of “Dividing up Brigades and Teams” in the Early 1960s》一文。

文章认为，20世纪五十年代末期至六十年代初期，中共中央对农村人民公社体制做出了积极调整，公社各级规模有所缩小。对这段历史的研究，学界多从政治史、制度史角度加以宏观叙事和政策梳理。利用20世纪六十年代初的陕西蒲城县农村人民公社“分队”档案，本文研究认为在集体化时期，国家力量在把村庄整合进规模更大、公有化程度更高的集体生产组织的过程中，忽视了村庄之间原有的自然、社会、经济和文化等方面的特征和联系，给地方社会带来新的裂痕与矛盾。在分队过程中，个人、集体利用被授予的分队合法权利，谋求自身利益的最大化，呈现出多种力量的互动关系。从客观结果来看，分队在某种程度上是对地方上长期层累形成的村庄传统的尊重和靠拢。这对我们从整体上认识公社体制调整历史和反思集体化时期集体组织制度具有重要意义。

From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had positively adjusted the rural people's commune system which prompted the size of the commune to become smaller. In the study of this historical stage, the academic community mostly sort out macro narratives and policies from the perspective of political history and institutional history. Utilizing the archives of the Rural People's Commune of  pucheng  County of Shaanxi province in the early 1960s, this study argues that during the agricultural collective period, the national power is integrated into the process of collective production organizations with a larger scale and higher degree of publicization, but it ignored the characteristics and connections between the original nature, society, economy and culture of villages were, and brought new cracks and contradictions to local society. In the process of the production brigade or team’s division, individuals and collective use the legitimate rights to seek the maximization of their own interests which show a variety of interaction relationships. Judging from the objective results, the decision of the production brigade and team closer the traditional village traditions that formed by the long-term accumulation of localities. This is important for us to understand the adjustment of the rural people's commune system and reflect on the collective organization system during the agricultural collective period.
