To know the way is to be known before. History is the best textbook and the best nutrient. In his letter of congratulations to the national history institute on its thirtieth anniversary, the secretary-general of xi expressed great expectations for the study of national history, emphasizing the need to “ensure the subject of national history, the mainstream nature of the subject, and to continuously improve the level of research, innovative ways of communicating and enhancing the orientation of education”. The important guiding spirit of general secretary xi has provided a way forward and a fundamental follow-up to the further advancement of national history research。
Since the establishment of the new china, the national history studies have emerged and developed on the basis of the history studies of the communist party of china (cpc) and are a study of the construction and development process of the new china and its patterns. In the new era, national history studies have been guided by the chinese socialist ideology of xi jinpingPolitical orientationBy adhering to historical materialism, achieving fruitful results in the codification of history and general history, special history and subject history studies, the theory and methodology of the discipline are becoming more sophisticated, making an important contribution to profoundly uncovering the dynamics of the party and the cause of the nation, strengthening historical self-confidence and strengthening historical initiatives。
The beginning, rise and development of national history studies
On 1 october 1949, the people's republic of china was inaugurated, ending once and for all the history of the former semi-colonial semi-enclosed society of china and opening up the history of the new china. There is no new china without the communist party, and there is a close link between national history studies and chinese communist party history studies. On the thirtieth anniversary of the establishment of the chinese communist party in 1951, which coincided with the second anniversary of the establishment of the new china, hu jomu published in the people's daily newspaper “thirty years of the communist party of china”, documenting “the establishment of the people's republic of china” and thus the history of two years since the establishment of the new china. The history of the country is embedded in and integrated into the history of the communist party and forms an important basis for the subsequent construction and development of this discipline。
During the period of the socialist revolution and construction, national history studies focused on the compilation of historical material in various fields since the establishment of the new china, as reflected in the preparation of social history surveys, local aspirations and “house history, factory history, village history and social history”, as well as a summary of the construction achievements, experiences and external accounts of china's history and development in the new china. The academic findings focused on the five-year, seven-year and ten-year history of the establishment of the new china, such as the chinese people's liberation war and the five-year short history of the new china, which divided the five-year history of the establishment of the new china into “new china’s birth”, “national economic recovery efforts” and “the beginning of a planned period of construction of the national economy”. During this period, the focus of research in the country's history, although in the ancient history of china and in recent history, has also received increasing attention to national history research, which has laid the foundation for academic research to promote the independence of national history research from the history of the communist party of china after the reform and opening up of the country。
At the beginning of the reform and opening-up process, the central committee of the communist party of china resolution on a number of historical issues relating to the party since its establishment (hereinafter referred to as the “second historical resolution”) adopted at the eleventh sixth plenary session of the party in 1981 provided a basic analysis of the history of the establishment of the new china until the sixtieth anniversary of its establishment in 1981, a proper assessment of the historical status of comrade mao, and science revealed the theoretical system of mao's ideas and his living soul. In particular, the “second historical resolution” divides the history of the new china into four phases, under the heading “seven years of essentially completed socialist transformation”, “ten years of the beginning of a full-scale construction of socialism”, “the decade of the cultural revolution” and “the great turn of history”, and draws from both the positive and the negative aspects of the new china since its inception the ten “principal points” of the right path to the modernization of socialism that is appropriate to our national situation. On this basis, the academic and theoretical community has launched a new wave of research into the history of the codification countries in the spirit of the “second history resolution”, which has evolved into a discipline and evolved into a discipline whose attributes, status and characteristics have become more prominent, complementary to the history of the communist party of china (cpc) and other relevant disciplines, with an ever-expanding research content and scope, as well as a growing body of research methods and tools。
In the new era of reform, openness and socialist modernization, a number of important works have emerged in the field of national history research, two of which are of pioneering importance. The first was a large series entitled " contemporary china " , the first post-new china study to record the history of the people's republic of china in a comprehensive manner. The first was written by system, sector, industry and region. The book collections and uses a wealth of informative, rich and systematic historical information on the historical process of construction and development of the new china in general, and on economic, political, cultural, social, defence and military construction, foreign affairs and foreign affairs, as well as on the development of science and technology, education, health, industry, ethnicity, religion and environmental protection in various sectors and regions since the establishment of the new china. The second, the history of the people's republic of china, focuses on the 35-year history of the convening and adoption of the decision of the central committee of the chinese communist party on the reform of the economic system at the 12th general assembly of the new china, which was founded in october 1949 until october 1984, and highlights the achievements and experiences of the construction and development of the new china and provides a profound insight into the importance, role and significance of the new china's history in the development of the chinese nation。
Ten years of research on the history of the new era has yielded fruitful results
Since the 18th anniversary of the party, chinese-style socialism has entered a new era. The study of national history has been guided by the new chinese socialist ideology of xi jinping, and has followed through on a series of important articles on learning about history, learning about party history, combining history and reality, theory and practice, international and national history, and contributing to the construction of a system of disciplines, academic systems and languages for national history research. In the decade of the new era, national history studies have seized unprecedented opportunities for development, with more extensive research, more mature disciplines, a stronger research team and more active academic exchanges。
Further study of basic and important issues in research content. Research in the national history of the new era has yielded rich research results, general history, specialized history studies have become more comprehensive, and case and thematic studies at the microlevel have become more detailed. For example, the study of the two historical periods before and after the opening up of the reform process has become more intensive. In the history of new china, the party led the people in socialist construction, with two historical periods before and after reform and opening up. According to general secretary xi, “this is a period of two interrelated and significant differences, but essentially an exploration of the practice of our party leading the people in the construction of socialism” “the period of history leading to the opening of reforms cannot be used to negate the period leading to the opening of reforms or the period leading to the opening of reforms”. In the context of this major historical issue and theorem, the study of national history insists on producing a series of research findings from a historical, objective, comprehensive and contextual development perspective. For example, in the context of the study of the history of reform and openness, books have been published such as china's panorama of reform and openness, forty years of reform and openness: experiences and experiences, and the panorama has documented and demonstrated the historic achievements and changes that have taken place since the 11th plenum and the 18th congress of the party。
More systematic and comprehensive approach to research. For example, the organization carried out a “recording process”, using the database as the main vehicle for the development of a national, provincial, municipal and county-level database based on the principle of “classification and general connectivity”, and published a series of “images” of “continues” and “imagers” of “changes” in “images” to record key points, typical figures and events in the process of small well-being, showing the decision-making, deployment and practical processes leading the people to overcome poverty and fully build a small and well-being society, reflecting the development achievements of both urban and rural areas and industries, as well as a more comprehensive record of the historic achievements of the full construction of a small and well-being society, highlighting the importance of a fully functioning societyHistorical significanceI don't know。
High-quality research works continue to be produced. For example, research into the " brief history of the people's republic of china " , the " brief history of reform and openness " , became an important reference material for learning about party history. The publication of the short history of the people's republic of china (1949-2019), the 70 years of new china and the series of the 10 years of the new era, the history study of the people's republic of china, among others, have given a powerful impetus to the flourishing of research and development in national history。
New contribution to the full construction of a modern socialist state
In the new era, national history studies must firmly grasp the main theme, the main nature of the mainstream, firmly oppose and resist historical nihilism, and make a new contribution to the full building of a modern socialist state and to the full advancement of the great renaissance of the chinese nation。
A study highlighting the new era of socialistism in china. The resolution of the chinese communist party on the major achievements of the party's 100-year struggle and historical experience, adopted at the sixth plenary session of the nineteenth session of the party, established a historical break in the period of the “new democratic revolution”, “socialist revolution and construction”, “new era of reform, opening up and modernization of socialism”, “new era of socialism for chinese identity”, the last three falling within the scope of the study of national history. The study of national history should be guided by the right political orientation, academic orientation and value orientation, highlighting the new era of chinese socialism, promoting the history of the new china, combining the history of the communist party of china, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, the history of national development in china, and integration with the subjects of marxist theory, scientific socialist science and the construction of the communist party of china. In particular, it is important to elaborate on the milestones of the great transformation of the decade of the new era and to better reflect the historical process of achieving the great renaissance of the chinese nation。
In-depth research on theoretical systems and practical development of modern chinese style. The general secretary of xi, at the opening session of the 20 spiritual workshops to follow up on the party, provided an in-depth account of a series of major theoretical and practical aspects of china's modernization, stating that, since the eighteenth anniversary of the party, our party has “preliminarily constructed a system of chinese-style modernization, making it clearer, more scientific and more practical”. For the future, research in national history must be based on a historical and historical perspective, and should be based on a three-dimensional, comprehensive and systematic approach to the theoretical system and practical development of chinese modernity. It should further strengthen research on the content and nature of china's modernity. It should further develop research on china's characteristics, essential requirements, key principles, etc., in order to provide intellectual support for the advancement and expansion of china's modernity in the new era。
Further promotion of research into the general history of new china. The history of new china is a history that continues and continues to develop. Research in national history requires not only specialized history, thematic history, stage history, but also general history studies, which systematically reveal the regularity of the development history of the new china and provide a deep historical logic between the various aspects of its construction and development. This requires researchers of national history to deepen their history, strengthen their history, expand their fields of study, enrich their practice, and follow the times to advance research on historical, theoretical and practical issues, creatively transform our traditional history of general history into a case study of general history, methods and methods, and further advance the codification of general chinese history。
To broaden world vision and international horizons. The study of national history is based on the whole of the great revival strategy of the chinese nation and on the major changes that have not occurred in the world for a hundred years. It will examine in depth the impact and contribution of the construction and development of a new china on the world. In particular, it will examine the place, role and significance of china's socialist material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization in the progress of human civilization. It is important to inform the international community of the history of the new china, to outline new concepts, new dimensions and new formulations of the study of national history that can be easily understood and accepted by the international community, to better interpret chinese practice, to construct an autonomous knowledge system for china, to deepen the exchange of knowledge among civilizations, and to promote the integration of national and world history studies。
