Abstract: The “Three Imperatives” thought is a significant concept and ideological command first put forward by Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and is of profound historical, theoretical and practical logic. As far as its historical logic is concerned, it is a major achievement of the Chinese communists in the new era in grasping the historical law of the rise and fall of China, in summing up the profound historical experience of the party’s centennial struggle, and in learning from the historical lessons of other ruling parties in the world, and presenting scientific answer to the historical questions, which is an inheritance and development of the “two imperatives” thought. As far as its theoretical logic is concerned, it comprehensively and profoundly explains the ideal and faith, the purpose and stand, the fine style and political quality, and the spiritual character and skill requirements of the CPC members in the new era, which is a closely linked, mutually supportive and organically unified theoretical system. As far as its practical logic is concerned, keeping in mind that the implementation of the “Three Imperatives” is an inevitable requirement for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization, has great practical significance for ensuring that the Party will never deteriorate, and remain unchanged.

Key words: the“Three Imperatives”thought, the“Two Imperatives”thought, modernization of Chinese characteristics, the new era, historical law
