Abstract: Historical confidence is another major theoretical innovation put forward by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core concerning national,ethnic and Party confidence after the proposal of the "Four Self-confidences",namely confidence in the path,theory,system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics.It is an essential spiritual driving force for the Communist Party of China as a mature Marxist political party.The Party's historical confidence lies in profound cultural traditions and realistic foundations.It is rooted in the profound accumulation of China's 5,000-year civilization,embodied in the glorious achievements forged through the Party's century-long struggle,condensed in the major-country responsibility for advancing human progress,nurtured by the wholehearted support of hundreds of millions of Chinese people,and illuminated by the bright prospect of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,which endows it with rich contemporary connotations and values.Consolidating historical confidence carries forward the spiritual heritage of Chinese civilization and demonstrates the practical power of Marxist truth.On the new journey of fully building a modern socialist country,we must adhere to the overall leadership of the Party,uphold a correct view of Party history and a grand historical vision,preserve the fighting spirit,elevate historical consciousness,and enhance historical self-examination,so as to firmly consolidate the Party's historical confidence.With greater historical consciousness and proactive spirit,we can forge a solid spiritual foundation for advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Key words: the Communist Party of China, historical confidence, historical consciousness, Four Self-confidences
