Mao Tse-tung, having consolidated his territory and political theory in the Yenan period, understood that the Chinese were too exhausted for another war, so he immediately began challenging the Nationalist government.

YENAN, China Horribly outnumbered, poorly armed and constantly under attack, about 80,000 Communist fighters set out on foot from a base in China's southeastern Jiangxi Province in October 1934 hoping above all to avoid getting wiped out by their Nationalist enemies.
But all over this city, people can be overheard trading admiring stories about the heroism of Mao's army or celebrating the spirit of Yenan, as much a name for that 12-year period as for the city itself.

 Mao Effort to Steel Youth Seen Behind Peking Purge
In this man's opinion, shared by other careful students of China, the objective cause of Chairman Mao's current campaign is precisely what it is stated to be: a rise of "revisionism" among the party and intellectual Èlite.
This is viewed not as revisionism in the sense that Peking uses the term, meaning support of Moscow, but in the sense of wishing to break away from the revolutionary ideals of Yenan.
The desperation with which Chairman Mao seeks to invoke the spirit of Yenan is fueled not only by the alienation of the young.

The human nature boosted by certain petty-bourgeois intellectuals is also divorced from or opposed to the masses; what they call human nature is in essence nothing but bourgeois individualism, and so, in their eyes, proletarian human nature is contrary to human nature.
Intellectuals of petty-bourgeois origin always stubbornly try in all sorts of ways, including literary and artistic ways, to project themselves and spread their views, and they want the Party and the world to be remoulded in their own image.

Commonly referred to as the Dixie Mission, the detached military unit sent to Yenan was responsible for transmitting weather information, assisting the Communists in their rescue of downed American flyers, and laying the groundwork for an eventual rapprochement between the Communists and Nationalists, the two sides struggling in the ongoing Chinese Civil War.
Following extensive use of archival sources and numerous interviews with the men who traveled and served in Yenan, Carolle Carter argues that while Dixie fulfilled its assignment, the members steered the mission in different directions from its original, albeit loosely described, intent.
As the months and years passed, the Dixie Mission increasingly emphasized intelligence gathering over evaluating their Communist hosts’ contribution to the war effort against Japan.
