Abstract: Xi Jinping's important exposition on the study of the“Four Histories”is the latest requirement for the Sinicization of Marxism and an important guarantee for advancing the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes that the study and implementation of the Party's innovative theory should be the top priority of ideological arming and should be combined with the study of the Party history, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development. The study of the“Four Histories”has made us realize that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the dominant practical logic running through the“Four Histories”, that the“Four Histories”is the historical logic formed by the four self-confidences, and that the“Four Histories”contains the law of the Communist Party's governance, the law of socialist construction and the law of social development of human being. A profound understanding of the spiritual essence of Xi Jinping's important exposition on the study of the“four histories”lies in being truly aware of: knowing history and loving the Party, studying history and understanding“Tao”, and knowing history and being wise.

Key words: Xi Jinping, study of the“Four Histories”, the four self-confidences, localization of Marxism in China
