中央文革小組是毛澤東為了發動「文化大革命」成立的機構，鑒於黨內矛盾無法通過黨的機制解決，於是毛澤東採取非正常手段，利用本身的政治地位和威信專門成立中央文革小組，以推動文化大革命。 中央文革小組是毛澤東推進文化大革命的重要力量，藉著煽動民眾，得到支持，並且加以擴大自己的權力。中央文革小組在「安亭事件」、「上海奪權」、「二月逆流」，都得到毛澤東的支持，全力推行文化大革命，一步步從參謀祕書機構發展成為黨的權力機關，取代中央書記處和政治局，並藉此掌控中央的實權。 中共召開九大，毛澤東肯定中央文革小組在文化大革命所起的作用，並且認為文化大革命已取得全面勝利，希望精簡黨的組織，隨著文化大革命而起的中央文革小組，也完成功能性任務。 ;英文摘要 Abstract: The Central Cultural Revolution Group is an organization formed to implement the Cultural Revolution. Due to unsolvable contradictions within the Chinese Communist party, Mao Zedong take unofficial measures to found the group by taking advantage of his own status and exercising his authority. The Central Cultural Revolution Group is an important asset for Mao Zedong to carry out the Cultural Revolution. The group gained support by inciting Chinese people and then extended its power. It received support from Mao Zedong to guide the Cultural revolution with full force during the Anting Event, the Power-Seizing in Shanghai and February Countercurrent. Originally serving as a staff secretariat institution, it gradually developed into the de facto top power organization of the party and replaced the Central Committee Secretariat and the Politburo. In 1969, the Chinese Communist Party held the 9th National Congress, in which Mao Zedong recognized the significant role the Central Cultural Revolution Group had played in the Cultural Revolution, deeming the Cultural Revolution to be a huge success and hoping to downsize the organization of the party. Formed at the outset of the Cultural Revolution, the Central Cultural Revolution Group had accomplished its functional mission.
