Historical Reflection And The Formation Of Deng Xiaoping Theory

Deng Xiaoping,the architect of China’s reform and opening-up policy,based on the summary of historical experience,leads the whole Communist Party and the people of the whole country to form the Deng Xiaoping Theory.The scientific decisions and theoretical innovations he made are not emerged out of the void,and one of the important driving factor which is the deep reflection on history.Summing up historical experiences is the fine tradition of the Chinese Communist Party.Deng Xiaoping inherited and carried forward this fine tradition and made historical reflection become his important method as well as a powerful weapon to the formation of scientific theory.The theoretical innovation can’t be separated from practical needs and the formation of scientific theory is based on solving practical problems.After the end of the Cultural Revolution,China was faced with the situation of being rebuilt,and Deng Xiaoping’s scientific theory was developed on the basis of creating a new pattern of reform and opening up.Historical reflection has played an important role in promoting Deng Xiaoping Theory.One of the most critical issues in the new period of reform and opening-up is the evaluation of Comrade Mao Zedong and his theory and practice,which is an important issue that concerns the overall situation.With actively summarizing of international and domestic experiences,Deng Xiaoping formed a scientific evaluation of Mao Zedong on the basis of reflection on Khrushchev’s attitude towards Stalin and reestablished the guiding position of Mao Zedong Thought under the premise of The Two Whatever Theory.It is precisely because of Deng Xiaoping’s scientific reflection,thus stabilizing the overall situation and laying the foundation for the formation and development of Deng Xiaoping Theory.On the "What is Socialism,how to build socialism," the fundamental problem,Deng Xiaoping carried out a scientific reflection and made a scientific answer.By reflecting experiences of China’s socialist revolution and socialist construction in the early days of the nation,Deng Xiaoping gave a scientific answer to "What is Socialism".He put forward the scientific theses of "taking our own road and building socialism with Chinese characteristics",formed the theory of the primary stage of socialism and pointed out the fundamental task of socialism and the goal of "rich former leads latter,eventually together" as well as establishing socialist market economy.By reflecting the international experiences and the socialist construction problems,Deng Xiaoping led the people scientifically answer "how to build socialism," this fundamental problem from every aspect and multiple perspectives."Stability overrides anything","Take economic construction as the center",reform and opening up,democratic construction and the ruling party construction theory,etc.,are all the inevitable result of scientific reflection.In the course of advancing the formation and development of Deng Xiaoping’s theory,historical reflection has its distinct theoretical characteristics.Deng Xiaoping is good at combining the positive experience with the negative lesson,and from the positive and negative reflections,he makes the basis of reflection more fully and comprehensively.Deng Xiaoping has a broad international perspective.He took account international experience on the basis of national actual situation.He also focused on the summary and reflection of the new experience,and constantly advancing with the times.In the course of advancing the formation and development of Deng Xiaoping Theory,the historical reflection follows the basic principles of practice standard,seeking truth from facts,dialecticism,and mass viewpoint,which provides the correct principle orientation for Deng Xiaoping to explore the rule of the Chinese Communist Party governing the country and the law of socialist construction.Historical reflection played an important role in promoting the formation and development of Deng Xiaoping Theory.It opened up a new realm of Marxism,achieved the second leap in the localization of Marxism in China and promoted the formation and development of the second leap core theory of Marxism in China—Deng Xiaoping Theory.It formed a new pattern of socialist modernization construction with Chinese characteristics,led Chinese to create a new realm of the native characteristic socialism theory and practice.The historical reflection not only effectively prevented the wrong tendency and focused on the future,but also provided the methodological guidance and example demonstration for the scientific reflecting on history of China and other socialist countries,and promoted the formation and development of the scientific theory.
