In short, the party history is the history of China * * * from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong, and constantly from victory to new victory. The history of new China is the history of the Chinese nation from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong. The history of reform and opening up is the history of China people moving from insufficient food and clothing to a well-off society. The history of socialist development is the history of socialism from its establishment, development to perfection.
Party history, the history of new China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development are closely related, and each has its own emphasis. The study of the "Four Histories" should be promoted as a whole, focusing on the history of the Party, highlighting their respective characteristics, and explaining clearly why China is "capable", why Marxism is "good" and why Socialism with Chinese characteristics is "good", so as to gain understanding, increase trust and respect morality.
The difference between the old and new "four histories"
The "four histories" have their own contents. The history of socialist development is more than 500 years. In terms of time, the history of more than 400 years before the founding of China is unique, and this period is not included in the other three histories. From the perspective of countries, the content of socialist theory and practice in the history of socialist development outside China is also unique, and there is no such content in the other three histories.
In the history of socialist development, the emergence and development of utopian socialism, the establishment of Marx and Engels' theoretical system of scientific socialism, the victory of the October Revolution led by Lenin and the practice of socialism, the gradual formation of the Soviet model, and the content of socialism abroad today are both important and unique.
