The research of the history of Chinese political thought has made remarkable progress the reform era. Starting from the construction of teaching materials,we have achieved the restoration and reconstruction of the history of China political thought as a discipline,have got rid of the old rigid method,and have made the understanding of Chinese traditional political thought more profound. At present,the research of the history of Chinese political thought is also facing some urgent problems. How to accurately understand the thinker’s thoughts,to make reasonable explanation to what the thinkers said,to recognize Chinese traditional political ideology in accordance with modern value,and to properly grasp the essential characteristics of China’s traditional political thought,are the problems that need to be noted.
