Using dialectical materialism and historical materialism to gain insight into the historical process and development trend is not only the logical starting point for the formation of Marxist theory, but also the basic path for the innovation and development of Marxist theory. The birth of Marxism grasped the historical law that the basic social contradictions promoted the evolution of human society, clarified the inevitable trend of human social development and the correct direction of human liberation, created the theory of scientific socialism, and realized the great in the history of human thought. change. The establishment of Mao Zedong Thought is based on a systematic analysis of China's historical and social conditions. It is a profound revelation of the nature of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society since modern times, thus revealing the correct direction for achieving national independence and people's liberation, national prosperity and people's happiness., Opened up the correct path of Chinese revolution and construction. The formation of Deng Xiaoping Theory is also based on a profound insight into the international and domestic development trends and historical trends, and then scientifically answers a series of basic questions about the construction and development of socialism in backward countries, and has become the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The cornerstone opened a new journey of reform and opening up and socialist modernization. Throughout the historical process of the development of Marxism and its Sinicization, grasping the general trend of history with a broad historical vision and profound insight is a consistent and distinctive feature of the innovation and development of Marxism, and every comprehensive review of historical changes and social development, Will produce a new leap in thinking on the question of "where to come from and where to go, will open a new historical chapter in promoting China's development and progress.

"Climb high, look far and wide, and take it easy". Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era runs through the skillful use of Marxist historical materialism, which breaks through the usual historical limitations, social limitations and thinking limitations, and embodies a broader view of history and pattern. it is a vision of "putting it into the great history of the development of the world and our country, it is a" broad perspective of history and reality, international and domestic relevance, and the combination of theory and practice ". It is not difficult to find that this thought analyzes and thinks about the historical position and development trend of contemporary China. It adopts 40 years of reform and opening up history, nearly 70 years of new China history, 97 years of the Communist Party of China history, more than 170 years of modern Chinese history, and more than 5000 years of Chinese civilization. The broad perspective of history is an analytical framework that connects China's history, present and future, it is a way of thinking that closely links socialism with Chinese characteristics with the world socialist movement and the future and destiny of human development. As a result, Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era "deepens the understanding of the ruling law of the Communist Party, the law of socialist construction and the law of the development of human society with a new vision". The basic reason for "brand new" is that it adopts a broader view of history and pattern, which is a kind of mind, vision and realm of "advancing in the logic of historical progress and developing in the trend of the development of the times.

It is precisely because of a broader view of history and pattern that Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era has scientifically answered the "question of the times" with the insight of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. it profoundly expounds the orientation and direction of contemporary China's development, the general trend, and expounds the historical mission and historical pursuit of the Communist Party of China. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, that the world is in a period of major development, major changes and major adjustments, and proposed to promote great struggles, great projects, great undertakings, and great dreams, and to achieve the "two centenary" struggles. The goal and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the concrete manifestations of this view of history and pattern. It is on this basis that Xi Jinping's ideological system of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era answers a series of basic questions about what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics to adhere to and develop in the new era, and how to adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. The general goal, general task, overall layout, strategic layout and other administrative blueprints and measures for adhering to the road of peaceful development and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind have been systematically answered, the ideological concepts and policy propositions with historical characteristics and laws and strong era-leading nature have been universally recognized and resonated widely.

Clarify the problem with a more essential and principled ideological point of view, and demonstrate the original contribution in planting the party's theoretical foundation and opening up a new theoretical realm.

"As long as the theory is thorough, it can convince people. The so-called thorough, is to grasp the essence of things." The value of theory is the profound revelation of the intrinsic characteristics of things, and the "scientific abstraction" and "principle expression" of the relationship between things ". Why Marxism has scientific truth and why Marxist theory can last forever lies in its ability to elucidate a series of basic problems in the development of human society through numerous and complicated phenomena. For example, existence determines consciousness, productivity determines production relations, and economic foundation determines superstructure, for example, the masses are the masters of history, politics is the concentrated reflection of economy, and the state is the tool of class rule. A series of essential and principium ideological viewpoints have enabled Marxism to maintain a strong ideological power and theoretical charm through the changes of the times, and show its eternal value in leading mankind to explore the road of self-liberation.

"Analyzing the mechanism" and "knowing what it is, but also knowing why" is the distinctive feature of Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the foundation of the original contribution of this thought. The essence and principle of Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era are very rich and profound. They run through the main theme of socialism with Chinese characteristics, covering various aspects such as governing the party, the country, the military, internal affairs, foreign affairs, and national defense, reform, development and stability. The "Eight Clarifications" and "Fourteen Persistences" in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are also reflected in a series of General Secretary Xi Jinping. For example, it is proposed that "the change of the main social contradiction is a historical change related to the overall situation" and "the change of the main social contradiction in our country has not changed our judgment on the historical stage of socialism in our country", which not only provides a basis for socialism with Chinese characteristics to enter a new era, but also a new conclusion with fundamental nature to grasp the process of socialist development by using the theory of social contradiction movement. For example, the proposal that "the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China" and "the party is the highest political leading force" is undoubtedly a profound revelation of the internal relationship between the party's leadership and socialism, and further enriches and expands the theory of the essence of socialism; for example, put forward "adhere to the people as the center", "the people's yearning for a better life is our goal", "the new development concept" and "the prosperity we pursue is the common prosperity of all the people". In fact, it has established a new historical position and the Marxist concept of people's development with the characteristics of the times. For example, the "three self-confidence" is expanded to "four self-confidence", and "cultural self-confidence, it is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence, a more basic, deeper and more lasting force", etc., which is a major breakthrough in the understanding of cultural status and function, a new elucidation of the spiritual support and source of strength for promoting social development, and enriches the basic dimensions of socialism with Chinese characteristics. For example, it is proposed that "the great social revolution of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era should be carried out well, our party must have the courage to carry out self-revolution", etc., profoundly revealing the dialectical unity relationship between "object" and "subject" in the process of transforming society, and revealing the party's internal logic and internal mechanism for strengthening its own transformation and maintaining its advanced purity in the realization of its own historical mission; for example, it is proposed that today's world "is becoming more and more a community of destiny with me in you and you in me" and "building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, clean and beautiful", etc., in order to grasp the general trend of human history and the idea of combining the feelings of "great harmony", it answers the important proposition of "where is mankind going.

"Tao" is the "skill" to follow, "skill" according to "Tao" and stand. A series of essential and principium ideological viewpoints contained in Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era are actually the ideological soul and theoretical cornerstone that runs through the party's major policies for governing the country in the new era. A series of ideas with essential and principium have made Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era show the inherent power of logical thinking and theoretical penetration. This idea can arouse ideological resonance, lay a deep brand, and make people suddenly enlightened. The fundamental reason lies in the ideological expression of research and analysis, revealing the causal relationship behind the problem, clarifying the internal law of the problem, providing ideological weapons for people to understand and solve the problem, and really playing an important role in deeply cultivating the theoretical foundation of Marxism. By grasping these essential and theoretical ideas, we can deeply understand why the new era is oriented in this direction rather than in other directions, and why such policy measures rather than other policy measures can enhance the subjective initiative and sense of responsibility of the times in implementing the decision-making and deployment of the party and the state.

　Lead practice with more contemporary and realistic thinking methods and working methods, and demonstrate original contributions in guiding the solution of practical problems and improving governance skills

"Philosophers just interpret the world in different ways, the problem is to change the world". Marxist theory is the unity of scientific world outlook and methodology, and practicality is the distinctive feature that distinguishes it from other theories. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "Adhering to the guidance of Marxism must ultimately be implemented in how to use it". With a profound revelation of the general trend of society and a new theoretical realm, it is natural to open up the paths and methods that become practical practice and solve the problems of "bridges" and "boats. Combining how to see with how to do, and combining understanding problems with solving problems constitute an important aspect of Xi Jinping's original contribution to socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

In the process of creatively applying Marxist ideological methods and working methods such as materialist dialectics, seeking truth from facts, and the mass line, a distinctive feature of Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is to keep up with the changed times and reality, and to face up to the objective situation. Clarify the administrative strategy in complex contradictions and outstanding problems, and endow Marxist ideological methods and working methods with new connotations of the times and new practical value, and creatively elevate the flexible application of marxist methodology to a new realm. For example, it is proposed to adhere to the "unity of knowledge and action" and strengthen mission responsibility, emphasizing knowledge to promote action and action to promote knowledge. Under the circumstances of the party's long-term governance and intensified risks and challenges, Party members and cadres should not forget their original intention, keep their mission in mind, strive forever, and solve problems such as slack in thinking and action. It is proposed to establish strategic thinking and maintain strategic determination, emphasizing the ability to improve the general trend and the ability to plan, do not follow the old path, do not follow the evil path, and firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is aimed at the complex impact of the changing international and domestic environment on people's ideology and politics. The purpose is to avoid a big country like China from "fundamental problems." There are subversive mistakes on the above "; proposed to strengthen bottom-line thinking and problem orientation, emphasizing that everything should be prepared for the worst, and strive for the best results, taking understanding and resolving contradictions, discovering and solving problems as the work orientation; proposing to adhere to" grasping iron with traces "and drawing a blueprint to the end, emphasizing empty talk to mislead the country, doing hard work to rejuvenate the country, carrying forward the spirit of nailing nails, and doing one crop after another. Stick after stick running is more realistic, targeted and instructive for changing bad styles and improving work effectiveness in all aspects.

Keep up with the times will be able to open up ideas, close to reality will be able to find a way. The reason why Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era are grounded, caring, warm, amiable, and usable, many "golden sentences" and "famous sayings" have become common words for people to analyze and clarify problems. An important reason is this The epistemology and methodology contained in the thought observe the times, reality, and people's actual feelings, and truly play the role of ideological weapons and scientific guides, it has effectively enhanced people's confidence, determination and ability to overcome difficulties, resolve contradictions, and manage complex situations, and enhance people's confidence, determination and ability to open up a new atmosphere of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the historic achievements and historical changes that have taken place in the party and the country, socialism with Chinese characteristics has brought about profound changes in the world that are conducive to Marxism and socialism, and they all vividly reflect Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The practical power and outstanding contributions of the scientific thinking methods and working methods contained in it.
