Jinping,based on the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,has gained insight into the world situation of "the unprecedented changes of the century",fully combined with China’s specific national conditions and the characteristics of the times,and put forward a series of new statements and views related to history.On this basis,a system of historical perspective with a distinct sense of the times and a deep sense of history has been formed.This paper takes Xi Jinping’s important discourse on history as the main body of its construction,focuses on clarifying the conditions for the development and evolution of this ideological system,explores the main contents and value of Xi Jinping’s historical outlook,and achieves the ultimate goal of deep understanding and application of learning.The development of Xi Jinping’s view of history is the result of the interaction of many factors or conditions.In terms of practical conditions,it is based on the lessons learned from the world socialist movement,the development situation facing the Party and the country in the new era,and the world situation under the unprecedented changes of the century;in terms of theoretical conditions,it inherits and develops the historical view of classic Marxist writers,the historical wisdom of the excellent Chinese traditional culture,and the historical view of the Chinese Communists;in terms of personal conditions,it is inextricably linked to Xi Jinping’s In terms of personal conditions,it is closely related to Xi Jinping’s theoretical skills,his spirit of commitment,and his sense of family and country,which are inseparable.Xi Jinping’s view of history has undergone a historical process.This process,in a nutshell,is divided into three stages.The period before the 18th Party Congress was the budding and initial exploration period,during which Xi Jinping experienced family education,seven years of youth and local administration,and from which many of his views on history could find their origin and footnotes;the period from the 18th to the 19th Party Congress was the deepening and expansion period,during which Xi Jinping’s important discourse on history unfolded from various aspects and a logical system was gradually formed and further elaborated;the period from the 19th to the 20th Party Congress was the perfecting and maturing period.In this period,Xi Jinping consciously extended the perspective of history learning and research,promoted nationwide learning and education in Party history,applied a large historical perspective to governance,and proposed new concepts such as "historical confidence" and "historical initiative".Xi Jinping’s view of history is logically organic,self-contained and rich in content.Xi Jinping explores "what is history" from the perspectives of "history is the book of practice and wisdom of previous generations","history is the foundation of a nation’s existence","people are the creators of history and the real heroes",and "history is the reality of the past and reality is the history of the future";From "historical research is the foundation of all social sciences","historical cognition is the important foundation of historical confidence","learn from history in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes","learn history to understand,learn history to increase confidence,learn history to honor morality,learn history to do",the four sides of "why should we pay attention to history" have been analyzed;From grasping the laws of history,understanding the world trend,insisting on seeking truth from facts,scientifically evaluating history,strengthening history education,innovating propaganda methods,developing in preservation and preserving in development,Xi Jinping’s theoretical outlook on history has given innovative answers to the question of "how to treat history".Xi Jinping’s view of history contains scientific philosophical implications and distinctive characteristic pointers.Xi Jinping’s view of history inherits the basic views,positions and methods of Marxism,and analyzes history in a philosophical sense from the perspective of materialism,dialectics and the materialistic view of history,on the basis of which he integrates the historical wisdom and dialectical view of history from the excellent Chinese traditional culture,making his view of history a scientific worldview and methodology with Chinese characteristics and a Chinese version of Marxism.In addition,Xi Jinping’s important thesis on history is a rational consideration and scientific response to the real-life issues facing the future development of mankind,and has distinct theoretical qualities such as being contemporary,popular,practical,national,global,and popular.Xi Jinping’s view of history is of great theoretical value and practical significance to the CPC’s governance in the new era.In terms of theoretical value,Xi Jinping’s important thesis on history innovates the use of basic Marxist positions,views and methods,refutes the false trend of historical nihilism,deepens the "four self-confidence" and consolidates the sense of Chinese national community,and enhances the "three temperaments" of the nation."In the practical sense,Xi Jinping’s important discourse on history provides fundamental guidelines for understanding and solving major historical issues in the new era,provides direction for improving the level and capacity of historical research in the new era,and provides a historical mirror for promoting the building of a community of human destiny in the new era.It is necessary to further learn,understand and implement Xi Jinping’s view of history from the three dimensions of theoretical cognition,discipline construction and action consciousness,so as to make theoretical analysis more scientific and practical. |
