Forming of Marxist philosophy is a revolution in the history of human recognition. It combines the materialist viewpoints of human natural and history as a whole. Also it makes research of social history become really scientific. Before Marxism was spread to China, China had no systematic scientific view of social history, but some of our thinkers, philosophers and historians had made active probes such as evolutionary perspective of history "The modern are better than those ancient", "Change with the time" ; Some stated ethics and etiquette with economical factors such as "Debate between Justice and Interests" ; and creative revealings about people creating history such as "Human beings are masters of god" , "people are masters of country" , "Officials are Servers of people" . ; Also some dialectical expositions about law of history development such as heaven regularity, power, destiny; perpetual pursuit such as "most ideal community"In the process of inspecting social history changing, the ancient Chinese philosophers not only had the obvious intension to link successive historical phenomena together, but also tried to understanding regular things under the changing historical phenomena. Although the advanced thinkings cannot be titled as scientific theory systems, we can look at them as sprout of primitive historical Materialism. The succession of human knowledge development and stretches of Philosophical tradition decides present-and-future philosophic development must be succession to traditional philosophy From the height of Marxist philosophy, through the whole control of ancient Chinese Philosophy, a careful study is made to the view of social historical issues such as social existence and historic changes, main force of social history, law of social historic development, pursuit of an ideal society, etc. On the base of these, to combine Marxist philosophy with traditional Chinese philosophy, to continuously enrich and develop Marxist historical materialism through valuable rational thoughts in views of social history in traditional Chinese philosophy, is the certain answer in the wave of Marxism innovation.
