试论中国共产党对自身性质认识的历史演化

On the Historic Development of the CPC's Knowledge of Its Own Nature

中国共产党成立初期继承了马克思、恩格斯、列宁关于党的性质的理论,即共产党是工人阶级的先锋队。后来根据中国的特殊国情提出了中国共产党既是中国工人阶级的先锋队,同时又是中华民族的先锋队,这在理论上是一个重大突破。建国以后,对党的性质的认识一度出现倒退。十一届三中全会以后,1982年十二大和2002年十六大两次对党的性质的重新表述,在新的历史条件下极大地丰富和发展了马克思主义关于党的性质的理论。

At the initial stage of its establishment, the Communist Party of China inherited the theories of Marx, Engels and Lenin on the nature of the communist party, namely, the communist party is the vanguard of the working class. It is a great breakthrough in theory when, in the light of China＇ s special conditions, the Communist of China later declares that the Party is the vanguard of the working class as well as the vanguard of the Chinese nation. After the founding of the People＇ s Republic of China, retrogression once arose with regard to the knowledge of the Party＇s nature. After the third plenary session of the llth Party congress, the Party＇s nature was reiterated at the 12th Party congress in 1982 and the 16th Party Congress in 2002, thus greatly enriching and developing the Marxist theory of the communist party＇ s nature in the new historical circumstances.
