Currently, our country is stepping into a new stage, building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. At this new historical point, a deeper understanding of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development is of great significance in theory as well as in practice for a further development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This paper upholds dialectical materialism and historical materialism as fundamental method, following the unity of history and logic, the combination of textual interpretation and modern Chinese practice, and comparative analysis as the research methods. It deals with the theme of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development, reviewing the related expositions on this problem in the course of Deng Xiaoping's guidance of Chinese socialist development.This paper consists of 5 parts: The first part gives a general introduction to the background, the aim and the significance of this research, defining the related concepts, summarizing the related documents and the research methods of this paper. The second part interprets the origin of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development, reviewing the classical Marxism writers' thoughts on accumulation of social development. In the meanwhile, this part analyzes the practical basis of the formation of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development. The third part analyzes the major content of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development from the following two angles: the self accumulation of Chinese socialism development; the crosswise extraction from the world civilization achievements into Chinese socialist development. The fourth part analyzes the practical direction of DengXiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development--the rise of socialism withChinese characteristics. The fifth part reveals the modern value of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development from the angles of theoretical and practical significance.Based on the above basic logic and structure, this paper mainly makes an exposition of the following basic viewpoints.Firstly, the classical Marxism writers' thoughts on accumulation of social development are the theoretical origin of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development. According to Marx and Engels, social development has historical inheritance. Utopia in the problem of social development is to be exceeded, and social development is prior to practical basis. The thought of accumulation of social development is also contained in Lenin's exposition that backward socialist countries should advance gradually, that the transition to socialism should be by roundabout ways, and that socialism can be developed by making use of national capitalism. The theory of New Democracy implied in Mao Zedong' s theory of accumulation of affluent social development, the thought of building socialism and the theory of social development by stages, constitute the major content of the adaptation of Marxist thought on accumulation of social development to China. The lessons drawn from the socialist development of the former Soviet Union, the summary of the experience of the socialist development of our country, and the need of the practice of Chinese socialist development, are the practical basis of the formation of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development.Secondly, according to Deng Xiaoping, Chinese socialist development is a process of self accumulation, which is the development and improvement based on itself. With a summary of historical experience and lessons, Chinese socialist development must free itself from such alien factors as lopping off history and copying the experience of others, and must be based on its own practice. Chinese socialist development cannot break away from the reality of China and the reality of the development of the countries all over the world. It must conform to the objective laws and reality. It must proceed from the reality of the primary stage of Chinese socialism, greatly promoting the development of the productive forces and continuously accumulating its own material base.Thirdly, in addition to its vertical angle (self accumulation), Chinese socialist development has its crosswise angle, absorbing the achievements of developed countries (mainly of developed capitalist countries) in social development. Deng Xiaoping holds that the world civilization achievements are the common wealth of human society. Chinese socialist development must draw on the achievements of developed capitalist countries, convert them into the self accumulation, make creations based on this, so that the development can be continuous and eventually exceed the capitalism.Fourthly, it is under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development that socialism with Chinese characteristics achieves the improvement of New Democratic Society and conventional model of socialism, and absorbs the achievements and experience of western developed countries in social development. The rise of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the logical result of historical development, and the only way of Chinese socialist development.Fifthly, Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development is the continuation of Marxist social development, the thought of social development by stages, the continuation and development of the relationship between socialism and capitalism. At the new historical point of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, Deng Xiaoping's theory of accumulation of social development must be upheld as the guidance. The reality of modern China must be considered as the practical basis of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Great efforts must be made in the development of the advanced productive forces. The reform and opening up must be further promoted. Therefore, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics can be broadened.
