"Understanding thought" is the essence of studying party history.

Xi Jinping’s speech profoundly clarified the focus and work requirements of party history study and education.

First of all, he emphasized that it is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to understand how Marxism has profoundly changed China and the world from the extraordinary course of the party, understand the truth and practical power of Marxism, and deepen the inheritance and timeliness of Marxism in China. Awareness of progressive theoretical quality.

That is to adhere to the integration of theory with practice, timely answer the questions of the times and the people, clear out the ideological fog that troubles and restrict the development of practice, and constantly promote the modernization and popularization of Marxism in China, and constantly open up a new realm of Marxism development.

The Communist Party has a quilt of its own, and it has to cut half of it for the common people.

Hundred years of history are written in countless sentences of such simplest words.

　　Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to seize the important node of the party's one hundred years of founding, start from the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, sum up and apply the party's rich experience in successfully coping with risks and challenges in different historical periods, and do a good job in responding to changes in the external environment for a long time. The ideological and work preparations of the People’s Republic of China have continuously enhanced their awareness of struggle, enriched their experience in struggle, enhanced their skills in struggle, and continuously improved their ability and level of governance and administration.

　　Strike must be hard by itself.

The centuries-old history of the party is also a history of our party's continuous maintenance of the party's advanced nature and purity, and continuous prevention of the danger of being disintegrated and corrupted.

Maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee to ensure that the whole party is twisted into a rope, thinking in one place and acting hard in one place.

　　Keeping a clear-cut stand for politics and ensuring the unity and centralization of the party are the life of the party and the key to our party's ability to become a century-old party and create a great cause for the century.

This is also the key to the study and education of party history.

　　Looking back on the centuries of party history, waging a great struggle with many new historical characteristics, and looking forward to the bright prospects of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we are extremely firm and extremely confident.
