| History is a mirror.History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent.An important lesson can be drawn from the century-long struggle of the Chinese Communist Party,namely,"History tells us that the key to running China well lies in the Party." General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to be good at using historical perspective to understand and grasp the laws of development,to understand and grasp reality,to better carry out the great struggle with many new historical characteristics,to advance the new great project of building the Party,to advance the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and to grasp the direction of China’s advancement today.General Secretary Xi Jinping asked the party to learn from history,create the future,"do not forget the original intention,bear in mind the mission",and constantly enhance the consciousness of mind and action to keep the original intention and bear the mission.Only by learning and summarising the history of the Party can we better grasp the present and the future.To learn historical thinking,we must enhance historical awareness,cultivate historical vision,strengthen historical responsibility,and achieve absolute loyalty to the party;we must enhance the sense of worry,crisis and mission;we must set the right political direction and stand firm on political positions;we must combine the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of China and with the excellent Chinese traditional culture;we must grasp the laws of communist rule,socialist construction and human social development;and we must adhere to the laws of socialism and social development.We must adhere to the methodological principles of historical materialism and dialectical materialism and improve our ability to think dialectically.In the process of governing the country,Xi Jinping has always adhered to the "history-based" way of thinking,which is scientific and scientific in nature.In his theory and practice of governing the country,General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood firmly in the perspective of history and has always grasped the general principle of "summing up history,grasping the laws,having confidence and looking to the future",which has played a positive role in advancing social progress and national development.In this way,we have been able to clarify our roots and oppose historical nihilism,and raise the level of thinking and work of the entire Party.Xi Jinping’s historical thinking on governance has profound ideological origins and practical foundations.The Marxist concept of material history,the importance attached to historical thinking by successive leaders of the Communist Party of China,and the fine tradition of ancient China of always attaching importance to history,especially the rich experience of governance contained therein,are the ideological sources of Xi Jinping’s historical thinking in his governance.The "two big situations" facing the Chinese nation,Xi Jinping’s fine family traditions and his personal political practice are important practical conditions.Xi Jinping’s use of historical thinking in his governance is manifested in two major areas: firstly,he has put forward a series of important views on "learning history","using history" and "governing history",especially Firstly,it puts forward a series of important ideas on "learning history","using history" and "governing history",especially emphasising "learning history to understand reasoning,learning history to increase confidence,learning history to uphold virtue,and learning history to act.Secondly,he focused on drawing lessons from traditional culture,modern Chinese history,the history of the Party and the State,and the history of the international communist movement,and put forward a series of creative ideas,such as the "double creation" of excellent Chinese traditional culture,the "Chinese dream",and the "great spirit of building the Party"."The Great Party Building Spirit","The Community of Human Destiny","One Belt,One Road","The Three Imperatives",etc.,which not only They have not only deepened the CPC’s understanding of the "Three Laws",but also successfully guided the great practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.Xi Jinping’s historical thinking in his governance is distinctive: it is "issue-oriented",firmly people-oriented and distinctly contemporary.Xi Jinping’s application of historical thinking to the governance of the country provides a powerful theoretical weapon to resist historical nihilism and strengthen ideological construction,a rich treasure of ideas to strengthen the "four self-confidences" and unite national greatness,and a guide for action to comprehensively build a strong socialist modern state and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. |
