Based on Deng's famous statements and works, this essay goes into a thorough analysis will offer precious reference to people who are engaged in the study of the history of the C.P.C.The reason why Deng Xiaoping attached great importance to the study of the history of the C.P.C. was due to the international and internal backgrounds in which he lived. For example, the heavy blow to the international communist movement caused by the mistreatment toward Si Dalin, the Russian leader and the serious disorder caused by the "Cutural Revolution" had a great impact on him.Thus, he began to think about the history of the C.P.C.and where the Party should go.And the study of the C.P.C aims at solving these problems.The thought guiding Dengstudy of the history of the C.P.C.consisted of three parts. First, the materialist historical view should go through the whole process of the study of the C.P.C. so that objectivity and justice could be ensured. Second, the study should be guided by Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. Third, historical issues and figures should be treated objectively and correctly.Guided by the three parts, Deng got correct and scientific evaluation based on the historical materialist rational analytical method and pointed out the right orientation to the study of the C.P.C.Deng's comments on the history of the C.P.C.showed his extraordinary historical talent. He exhibited his remarkable ability in generalizing history. He divided the history of the C.P.C.into five periods and created the concept of "three generations of leading bodies".Besides, he condensed the striving history of the C.P.C into "Two Revolutions" When evaluation historical figures, Deng used materialist dialectical views so that objective and scientific conclusions were driven. He also argued that through the process of the evaluation of historical figures the historical backgrounds and conditions should be taken into consideration. And hasty conclusions should be avoided. In Deng's opinion, historical issues under certain circumstances should be dealt with holistically instead of focusing on their trivialities.Through the analysis of the history of the C.P.C.,we can gain the following enlightenment, that is, in the study of the history of the C.P.C.,we must well handle the orientation of the study of the C.P.C, Correctly integrate the Party nature and the scientific nature, correctly integrate the relationship between "historical facts" and "historical evaluation", firmly integrate the standard of the productive force and the standard of the masses and dialectically treat the relationship among the history, the reality and the future.
