Using scientific thinking to promote the cause of building a strong army · historical thinking The best textbook, the best sobering agent Whether leading cadres have historical thinking is related to the scientificity, predictability, initiative and creativity of their work. For leading cadres at all levels of the army, the most important thing to improve their ability of historical thinking is to study the party's history and use history to fight, improve the art of struggle from understanding the party's major strategic decisions, enhance their fighting skills from studying and analyzing the experience of the party leading our army to win with the inferior, and strengthen the spirit of struggle from understanding the revolutionary tradition cultivated by the party. "History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent." since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi has repeatedly stressed the importance of learning history. At an important meeting, President Xi listed "historical thinking" as one of the six thinking abilities that leading cadres need to improve, and stressed that "we should improve the historical thinking ability of knowing the past, learning from the present and using historical vision to understand the law of development". Historical thinking is a scientific thinking activity that takes historical materials as the basis and reference, uses Marxist positions, viewpoints and methods, thinks and analyzes problems, grasps the direction of progress and solves current problems from the perspective of history and the law of development. Whether leading cadres have historical thinking is related to the scientificity, predictability, initiative and creativity of their work. To improve the ability of historical thinking is to strengthen the study of history, deeply grasp the historical law, recognize the historical trend, summarize the historical experience, bear in mind the historical lessons, do a good job in the practical work in the in-depth thinking of history and better move towards the future. Superb historical thinking ability can always guide people to clear up the ideological fog and recognize the bright future. It has a great power to change history. In the practice of running the party, the country and the army, President Xi insists on using far-reaching historical vision, profound historical knowledge and profound historical thinking to analyze the current situation, judge the trend, grasp the future, pay attention to summing up experiences and lessons from history and drawing spiritual nutrition, and show strong political consciousness and a high degree of historical consciousness. "The past can be measured, the future can be experienced, and the plain can be determined." many things encountered today can be found in history, and many things that have happened in history can also be used as a mirror for today. At present, we are facing an increasingly complex international environment, the heavy task of strengthening the country and the army, and many unimaginable difficulties and challenges. With strong historical thinking ability, crisis may turn into opportunity. In order to better study problems, grasp laws and promote work, we must improve the ability of using historical thinking, learn history to clarify reason, learn history to increase trust, learn history to uphold morality, learn history to practice, learn from history and open up the future. Communists "eat by summing up experience". Only by seeing why the past can succeed can we understand how to continue to succeed in the future. To comprehensively improve the ability of historical thinking, we need to constantly sum up historical experience and lessons, especially the major achievements and historical experience of the party's Centennial struggle. However, history never takes the initiative to show us its wisdom and power. Knowledge is the foundation of thinking, and thinking is the soul of knowledge. Only by regularly studying history, especially party history, can we lay a solid foundation for improving historical thinking ability and extract the magic weapon of defeating the enemy from historical experience. "Although there is wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation." the wheel of history rolls forward and the trend of the times is vast. Only by understanding history can we see far, and only by understanding history can we go far. The party's history is a mirror of the past. What reflects the past is experience and law, and what reflects the future is confidence and general trend. To improve the ability of historical thinking, we must further grasp the law and general trend of historical development, seize the opportunity of historical change, follow the trend, work hard, always grasp the historical initiative of the development of the cause of the party and the state, and create a great historical cause belonging to our generation. Of course, in this process, we should base ourselves on reality, grasp the historical trend of each stage, and do a good job in the current things. A philosopher once said that the greatest significance of thinking lies in "inherited values", "cultural gene" and "unique logo". Red resources are the witness of our party's arduous and brilliant struggle and the most precious spiritual wealth. Red blood is the concentrated embodiment of the political nature of the Communist Party of China and the source of spiritual strength of the Chinese Communists in the new era. To improve the ability of historical thinking, we must always continue the red blood, use the party's struggle process and great achievements to inspire fighting spirit and guide the direction, use the party's glorious tradition and fine style to strengthen faith and pool strength, use the party's historical experience and practice to create enlightening wisdom and sharpen character, carry on the past, forge ahead, forge ahead, and strive to live up to the expectations of the revolutionary ancestors Worthy of the new achievements of history and the people. "A thousand years of history in the palm of the hand, a million soldiers in the chest." the military struggle practice of the party leading the people's army is a magnificent chapter in the party's history of a century. Today, although "the shadow of the sword is dimmed and the sound of drums and horns is far away", the "vivid faces" in the military history and war history hide the way to win future wars. "Generals are the life of all soldiers." for leading cadres at all levels of the army, the most important thing to improve their ability to think about history is to learn party history and fight with history, improve the art of struggle from understanding the party's major strategic decisions, enhance their ability to struggle from studying and analyzing the experience of the party leading our army to win over the superior, and strengthen the spirit of struggle from understanding the revolutionary tradition cultivated and forged by the party, We will comprehensively improve our ability to prepare for war in the new era and resolutely complete the missions and tasks entrusted by the party and the people in the new era.
