The Evolution of the Chinese Communist Party's Admission Oath
Throughout the history of the Chinese Communist Party, the evolution of the admission oath has experienced five stages.
There was no admission oath on the day when the party was founded. It was during the brutal revolution that party pioneers made the oath after choosing communist ideals and beliefs by firmly following the Communist Party of China. The early slogans of the party were personal sacrifice and never defect from the party .
The first formal admission oath can be traced back to 1926, when MAO Zedong hosted the sixth Guangzhou Institute for the peasant movement. Wang Shoudao once recalled that the oath he swore when he joined the Party that year was Obey discipline and self-sacrifice; strive assiduously in the revolution and class ; Keep secrets and never defect from the Party.
In the China Revolution Museum, there is an application letter for Party membership, which is the only party member card preserved from the Jinggangshan period. In the middle of it are five lines: willing to make sacrifice, keep the secret, class struggle, strive in revolution, respect the party flag and never betray the party. This is the admission oath sworn on January 25, 1931, when the owner of the card secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party.
The Fujian Changting Museum also keeps an oath letter, which reads:
1. Abide by the party’s platform, constitution and discipline.
2. Work for the Party and never defect from the Party .
3. Keep the secret of the Party .
4. Obey all Party resolutions.
5. Participate in the party activities.
6. Pay party membership fee on time.
Ready to accept punishment based on the Party discipline if I violate any rule above.
The party admission oath in the Anti-Japanese War attached importance to the combination of ideal and reality. In 1940, the admission oath published in the 4th issue of the CPC party journal was as follows:
1. Lifelong struggle for the cause of communism.
2. The interests of the Party are paramount.
3. Observe party discipline.
4. Work for the party by overcoming difficulties.
5. Be a role model for people.
6. Keep the secret of the party.
7. Have confidence in the party.
8. Indomitable, never defect from the party.
This version of the party admission oath was prescribed by the then the organizational department of the CPC central committee. As the standard party admission oath of CPC during the Anti-Japanese War, it was copied by party organizations all over the country and widely used when new members took the oath to join the party. Therefore, it was a formal and authorized version of the oath.
During the War of Liberation, the central government had no uniform rule for the party admission oath, and the decision on whether to take the party admission oath was entirely decided by the local party organizations, so the admission oath in the liberated areas of China was not uniform. At the Liaoshen Campaign Memorial in Jinzhou, a party admission oath letter was kept: I voluntarily swear to join the Chinese Communist Party . I will always follow Chairman MAO of the Communist Party and serve people wholeheartedly, put the party interest above personal interest, resolutely carry out the Party's resolutions , abide by party discipline, keep party secretss, abide by the decrees of the democratic government and the resolutions of people. I will not waver or compromise under any circumstances. I will not be afraid of difficulties and sacrifices and I will go all out to strive for the realization of new democracy and communism.
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of reform and opening up, party members can write their own admission oath. In 1950, Publicity Department of the Southeast China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee compiled and published Textbook for Communist Party Members, in which the party admission oath reads: “I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China, accept the Party’s platform and constitution, observe the Party discipline, implement the Party's resolution, study Marxism-leninism and MAO Zedong thoughts, strive to improve my party awareness, work hard and develop professionalism,serve people wholeheartedly, and persevere in the struggle for the communist cause to the end. The book also particularly mentioned that the specific person who was willing to swear the oath could write their own oath in specific conditions, such as those in the production activities in the factory.
In addition, the party admission oath widely used after the founding of the People's Republic of China is as follows: I volunteer to join the communist party of China, uphold the party’s platform and constitution, implement the party's resolutions, observe party discipline, keep the secret of the party and be ready to sacrifice everything in my life for the complete liberation of mankind.
In the new era of reform and opening up, the party admission oath was written into the constitution of the 12th CPC National Congress and is still in use today. On September 6, 1982, the 12th national congress of the CPC adopted the new Constitution of the Communist Party of China. Among them, the sixth principle of the first chapter specifically stipulates: Probationary party members must face the party flag to swear the admission oath. The oath is as follows: 'I volunteer to join the communist party of China, uphold the party's platform and the party constitution, perform the party member duties, implement the party's decisions, strictly abide by party discipline, keep the secret of our party, stay loyal to the party, work actively, strive for the cause of communism to the end, be ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people at any time and never defect from the party'. The party admission oath has not changed since then.
在中國共產黨的歷史上，各個時期的入黨誓詞有所不同。其主要分為5個階段。
入黨誓詞並不是從建黨之日就有的🧙🏼♀️，而是在殘酷革命鬥爭環境中🐢，早期共產黨員堅定地選擇共產主義理想信念、堅定地選擇跟黨走的生死抉擇中發出的錚錚誓言👨❤️👨。在建黨初期，其核心詞為“犧牲個人”、“永不叛黨”🖖。
現在已知最早的、比較規範的入黨誓詞🦻，可以追溯到1926年毛澤東同誌主辦第六屆廣州農民運動講習所時期👩🏼🎤。王首道曾回憶👩🏽🔧，這一年他在農講所入黨時的誓詞為“服從紀律🔠，犧牲個人；努力革命🧑🏻🎓，階級鬥爭；嚴守機密，永不叛黨”。
在中國革命博物館珍藏著一幅飽經血與火洗禮的《入黨誌願書》，這是井岡山時期保存的唯一黨證👩🏽🏫。它的中間豎行排列著五句話🦸：犧牲個人，嚴守秘密🧑🏽🏫，階級鬥爭，努力革命，服從黨旗🚣🏿♀️，永不叛黨🤵🏼。這是黨員證主人在1931年1月25日秘密加入中國共產黨時的入黨宣誓。
福建長汀博物館也保留著一份入黨誓詞，它的內容是：“一、遵守黨綱黨章和紀律；二、絕對忠實為黨意昂永不叛黨；三、保守黨的秘密✊；四、服從黨的一切決議；五、經常參加支部生活和活動；六♣︎、按時****。如有違上列各項願受黨的嚴厲紀律製裁🌚。”
抗日戰爭的入黨誓詞☃️，註重理想與現實的結合。1940年黨內刊物《共產黨人》第4期刊載的入黨誓詞是：“一、終身為共產主義事業奮鬥；二🎼、黨的利益高於一切🕵🏽；三🚆、遵守黨的紀律；四🟥、不怕困難，永遠為黨意昂💏；五👃🏼、要作群眾的模範🦹♀️；六👩🏿🌾、保守黨的秘密；七🎯、對黨有信心🫥；八👩🏼🎤、百折不撓，永不叛黨。”這一版本的入黨誓詞由當時的中央組織部規定。作為抗日戰爭時期我們黨標準的入黨誓詞，它被各地黨組織翻印，為新黨員入黨宣誓時廣泛使用。因而具有一定的權威性和規範性🧕🏼。
在解放戰爭時期，中央對入黨誓詞沒有統一的規定🕹，是否舉行入黨宣誓儀式完全由地方黨組織自行決定🧝🏽♂️，因而各個解放區誓詞也是不統一的🙋🏻。在錦州遼沈戰役紀念館保存著這麽一份入黨誓詞🙄：“我自願立誓參加共產黨🤾🏻，永遠跟著共產黨毛主席走，一心一意為人民服務🐃，個人利益服從黨的利益🚨，堅決執行黨的決議，遵守黨的紀律🦝。保守黨的秘密，遵守民主政府的法令、群眾的決議，在任何情況下不動搖，不妥協。不怕困難與犧牲，為新民主主義和共產主義的實現而奮鬥到底。”
新中國成立至改革開放前，入黨可自擬誓詞。1950年中南局宣傳部編印的《共產黨員課本》的入黨誓詞為🚾：“我誌願加入中國共產黨🚍，承認黨綱、黨章🧑🏼🤝🧑🏼，遵守黨的紀律，服從黨的決議，學習馬列主義、毛澤東思想♖，努力提高自己的覺悟，積極意昂，精通業務，全心全意為人民服務👼🏼，不屈不撓🔻，為共產主義事業奮鬥到底。”該書還特別提到，具體人在具體條件下，如在工廠的生產運動中“願宣誓者，由其自擬誓詞亦可”。
此外，新中國成立後廣為使用的入黨誓詞是🧎🏻♂️➡️：我誌願加入中國共產黨，擁護黨綱黨章⛩，執行黨的決議，遵守黨的紀律，保守黨的秘密，隨時準備犧牲個人的一切，為全人類徹底解放奮鬥終身。
改革開放新時期，入黨誓詞載入***黨章並沿用至今。1982年9月6日，黨的***通過新的《中國共產黨章程》🖊。其中，第一章第六條明確規定👩🏫：“預備黨員必須面向黨旗進行入黨宣誓🧑🏽🌾，誓詞如下：‘我誌願加入中國共產黨🧑🏼🌾，擁護黨的綱領，遵守黨的章程，履行黨員義務👐🏻，執行黨的決定，嚴守黨的紀律，保守黨的秘密，對黨忠誠，積極意昂，為共產主義奮鬥終身，隨時準備為黨和人民犧牲一切，永不叛黨。’”自此，這一誓詞未有任何改動。
