Features: The national plan has both broad and narrow definitions: the broad definition of the national plan includes long-term plans, five-year plans, annual plans, etc.; the narrow definition of the national plan does not include plans. Compared to the narrow plan, planning is more long-term and strategic, and also more qualitative and principled. This book studies the development and structure of the national plan (narrow) as a historical phenomenon, as well as the nature and function of the national planning that replaces the original national plan in China.
