唯物史观在中国传播的历史启示

The Historical Implications of the Dissemination of Materialist View of History in China

唯物史观的发现与确立,是历史观的革命性飞跃。唯物史观在中国获得广泛传播,是适应了中国社会历史和革命发展的需要。唯物史观在中国的传播,在社会历史领域内取代了唯心史观,以阶级论取代了进化论,初步奠定了我国以马克思主义为指导的社会科学的基础。同时运用唯物史观的基本原理,探讨中国历史和社会的实际问题,初步地把马克思主义的理论同中国革命的实际结合起来,使唯物史观成为指导革命实践斗争的锐利武器。重温唯物史观在中国传播的历史,对我们坚持中国特色社会主义事业仍有重要的启示意义。

The formulation of materialist view of history constitutes a revolutionary leap. The wide dissemination of such view in China is contextualized by its social and revolutionary development. When the materialist view of history replaced the idealist one, and class analysis replaced evolutionism, Marxism became the guiding principle for social sciences in China. In the meantime, the basic principle of this view have been applied to the exploration of the practical issues in Chinese history and society, thus integrating Marxist theories into the Chinese revolutionary practices and making the materialist view of history a powerful weapon in the struggles of Chinese revolution. Therefore, revisiting the dissemination of the materialist view of history in China is of great significance to the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
