Abstract:  From the perspective of historical materialism, the historical initiative of the CPC is the ability and spiritual character of
actively creating history formed under the guidance of scientific theory, long-term practice and experience, and active responsibility. Due to the richness of social practice in different periods, it presents a variety of specific forms. In the theoretical form, it represents three leaps to realize the modernization of Marxism in China. In the practical form, it represents great achievements in all-round historical development. In the spiritual form, it represents the construction of the spiritual pedigree of the CPC. In the empirical form, it represents the formation of three important historical resolutions in the history of the CPC. Taking history as a mirror, we should adhere to the leadership of the Party, strengthen the core consciousness, master the ability of the Marxism, strengthen the noble faith, rely on the people, stimulate the initiative, summarize historical experience and draw wisdom, thus continuing to carry forward the historical initiative and take the road to the new era.

Key words:  , the CPC, historical initiative, historical materialism
