Abstract:

Escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall is a major theme of Party building. It is also an examination of the Party’s long-term governance that Chinese Communists constantly consider, explore, and answer. Mao Zedong and Huang Yanpei’s “cave-dwelling conversation” revealed the dominant law of the historical cycle of rise and fall. It provided the first answer to the Party’s problem of breaking the historical cycle rate. It also provides an important historical basis for Xi Jinping’s exposition on how to escape the historical rise and fall cycle. Xi Jinping’s important statement is rich in c/onnotations, which explain the logical relationship between the historical cycle rate and the construction of the Marxist governing party, the centennial development of the Communist Party of China(CPC), and the rise and fall of Chinese and foreign historical dynasties and regimes. It emphasizes that the nature and purpose of the CPC are the decisive factors for the Party’s escape from the historical cycle rate. The people’s congress system is an effective guarantee for national governance to jump out of the historical cycle rate. Self-reform is the second method for the Party to break out of the historical cycle rate. On the new journey forward, we will rejuvenate the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization and an expansion into new forms of human achievement. The Party will rely externally on people’s democracy and supervision and internally on full and rigorous self-governance and the Party’s self-reform. The Party will promote the “Three Non-corruptions” as a whole and comprehensively build a “Clean China”, pledging “our political environment will, through tireless efforts, like seas fallen calm and rivers running clear, be clean and free of corruption.” These efforts will ensure that the CPC, as the nation’s long-term governing party, will never change its nature, its conviction, or its character.

Key words: Xi Jinping’s important exposition, historical cycle of rise and fall, political essence, Practical orientation
