Abstract: The request and report system has been a fine tradition and important discipline since the founding of the Party,whose historical evolution includes four stages:preliminary exploration,establishment and consolidation,reconstruction and strengthening,and breakthrough and innovation,with the purpose of duty and mission to maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership.Since the 18th CPC National Congress,Xi Jinping has inherited Mao Zedong's basic theory and method of establishing the request and report system based on the situation of the Party in the new era.Xi Jinping has further absorbed the views put forward by Deng Xiaoping,Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao that strengthening the Party's leadership is the fundamental purpose of implementing the request and report system,and that giving full play to the main role of the leading cadres is an important guarantee for the implementation of the request and report system.Xi Jinping has correctly found the important starting point for strengthening the overall leadership of the Party in the new era,and put forward an effective working mechanism for implementing democratic centralism,creatively proposing the guiding value of "taking the people as the center" and persisting in taking the Party Constitution as the foundation.Transforming the request and report system into an inner-Party regulation,Xi Jinping has provided theoretical guidance for the development and innovation of the request and report system in the new era.

Key words: Mao Zedong, Xi Jinping, new era, request and report system, Party regulations
