邓小平以唯物史观为根本指导思想,提出了一套科学认识党史和指导党史研究的基本理论,包括认识、研究党史的原则和方法两个方面的基本内容。这一党史观的贯彻落实对改革初期党内民主的恢复,党和国家的安定团结有着重要的现实意义,对中国特色社会主义理论体系的形成也起到了承前启后的关键作用。 Deng Xiaoping took the historical materialism as the basic guiding ideology and put forward a set of basic theories to scientifically understand the history of the party and guide the study of the history of the party, including the basic content of understanding and studying the principles and methods of the history of the party. The implementation of this concept of party history has an important practical significance for the restoration of inner-party democracy in the initial stage of reform and for the stability and unity of the party and the country. It has also played a key role in forming the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
