Abstract: The forming background, the main purpose and the content of the Party’s three historical resolutions are different, but the three historical resolutionsrun through the four methods of grasping the Party’s goal from a broader historical perspective,following the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, adhering to people’s side of historical materialism, and using the method of historical analysis and class analysis to evaluate history and historical figures. Analyzing the four methods ofthe three resolutions allows us to see clearly self-cognition, self-reflection, self-innovation and self-summarization in a panoramic view of the Communist Party of Chinaover the century, and can help us to study and understand the Party’s three historical resolutions from a more scientific methodology, making us enhance historical consciousness, firm historical confidence andgrasp historical initiative.
