序言

preface
高度重视学习中华民族发展史

Pay high attention to the learning history of the Chinese nation

    中华文明源远流长，五千多年来一脉相承，始终没有中断。这在世界历史上是很罕见的。

    The Chinese civilization has a long history，More than five thousand years to date，Without letup。This in world history is very rare。

    中华民族是在波澜壮阔的历史进程中形成的。从遥远的古代起，我国各族人民就建立了紧密的政治经济文化联系，共同开发了祖国的河山。中华民族的悠久历史，是我们必须十分珍惜的宝贵财富。中华民族的优秀文化，是我国各族人民共同创造和传承的，是维系民族团结和国家统一的牢固纽带。

    The Chinese nation is in the mammoth history form。Far from the ancient times，The people of all ethnic groups in China have established close political, economic and cultural links，To develop our country's native land。The long history of the Chinese nation，We must cherish is the precious wealth。Fine culture of the Chinese nation，The people of all ethnic groups in China is to create and inheritance，Be to maintain national unity and national unity strong bond。

    一个民族的历史深刻影响着一个民族的现在和未来。今天的中国从历史的中国发展而来。我们国家和民族的发展史，包含着治国安邦的深刻道理，也揭示了今天我国发展道路的历史必然性。要夺取改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的成功，我们不仅应该懂得中国的今天，而且还应该懂得中国的昨天和前天。我曾经说过，一名领导干部不善于从历史中吸取营养，不可能成为高明的领导者；一个政党不善于从总结历史中认识和把握社会发展规律，不可能成为顺应历史潮流的自觉的政党；一个民族不善于从历史中继承和发展本民族和世界其他民族创造的优秀文明成果，不可能屹立于世界民族之林。多读读中华民族发展史，可以使我们加深民族感情、增强民族自信心，更加信心百倍地投身坚持和发展中国特色社会主义、实现中华民族伟大复兴的宏伟事业。

    A profound impact on the nation's history of a nation now and future。Today, the Chinese from the historical development of China。Our country and in the history of the development of the nation，Recently, the ruling contains profound truth，Today in our country also reveals the development road of the historical inevitability。To capture reform, opening up and socialist modernization of success，We should not only know China today，But also should know Chinese yesterday and the day before yesterday。I once said，A leading cadre is not good at nourishment from history，Not be a good leader；A political parties are not good at from the review history to know and master the law of social development，Can't be complied with the historical trend of the consciousness of the party；A nation are not good at from history inheritance and development of the nation and the world other national created the outstanding civilization achievements，Can't stand towering in world nation community。Read more on the history of the Chinese nation，We can make the deepened the national sentiment、Strengthen the nation's confidence，One hundred times more confidence in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics、The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and a great career。

    当代中国正处在充满机遇也充满挑战的时期。改革开放以来，我国社会主义现代化建设取得了举世瞩目的成就，综合国力显著增强，人民生活水平大幅提高。同时，我们也必须清醒地看到，无论从国内看还是从外部环境看，我们在前进道路上面临的困难和挑战还很多，必须继续进行长期而艰苦的努力。要使我们的国家、我们的民族发展得更好，我们必须认真总结和发扬改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的成功经验，也必须注重汲取和运用历史经验，科学把握和正确运用历史规律，正确借鉴历代治乱兴衰的经验教训。

    China is currently in full of opportunities and challenges of the period。Since the reform and opening，China's socialist modernization construction has made remarkable achievements，Comprehensive national strength enhanced markedly，People's living standards improve dramatically。At the same time，We must also see clearly，No matter from domestic see or from external environment look，We in the path of the difficulties and challenges still facing many，Must continue long and hard work。To make our country、Our national development better，We must to summarize and develop the reform, opening up and socialist modernization of success，Also must pay attention to learn and use historical experience，A scientific study and correctly apply historical rules，Right in the rise and fall of the governing revolution from lessons learned。

    学习中华民族发展史，是弘扬爱国主义精神、增强民族凝聚力的重要途径。爱国主义始终是中华民族团结一心、自强不息的精神源泉。在中华民族漫长的发展史上，我国各族人民团结奋斗取得的辉煌成绩，我国各族人民经历的种种苦难曲折，都是爱国主义教育的生动教材，都是激励我们为祖国、为民族发展进步而不懈奋斗的强大精神力量。要真正形成对祖国、对民族的深切之爱、理性之爱，必须重视学习中华民族发展史，不断丰富历史知识。

    Learn the history of the Chinese nation，It is to develop patriotism、Enhance national cohesion of important ways。Patriotism is always the Chinese nation unite、The spirit of the self-improvement source。In the long history of the Chinese nation，The people of all ethnic groups in China united struggle glorious achievements，The people of all ethnic groups in China and experience all the sufferings，Patriotism education is the vivid teaching materials，All is for the country to inspire us、For national development and progress of the unremitting efforts for strong spiritual power。To really form to our motherland、To the nationality of the deep love、The love of the rational，The Chinese nation must attach importance to study the history，Enrich the knowledge of history。

    改革开放以来，我们不断扩大对外开放，推动中国和世界的关系发生了举世瞩目的变化。新形势下，我们不仅要学习中国历史，而且要学习世界历史，善于从中外历史上的成功失败、经验教训中进一步认识和把握历史发展和社会进步的规律，认识和把握时代发展大势。同时，我们还要向世界介绍我国历史，特别是要介绍近代以来中华民族遭受的历史苦难和进行的伟大奋斗，让国外民众了解我国历史和国情，帮助他们从历史角度来客观观察和分析今天的中国。

    Since the reform and opening，We constantly expand opening to the outside world，Promote the relationship between China and the world happened had remarkable change。Under the new situation，We should not only learn Chinese history，And to learn the history of the world，Good at Chinese and foreign history from the success of failure、Experience in further understanding and grasping the historical development and social law of development，Understanding and grasping the development of The Times half。At the same time，We also have to introduce the history of our nation，Especially since modern times to introduce the history of the Chinese nation suffered from the suffering and conduct of great struggle，Let the foreign people understand China's history and characteristics，Help them from the historical Angle to the objective to observe and analyze the China of today。
