Features: History serves as a mirror to understand the past and enlighten the present. A leader who fails to draw nourishment from history cannot become a wise leader; a party that does not learn from historical summaries to recognize and grasp the laws of social development cannot become a conscious party of the historical trend; a nation that does not inherit and develop the outstanding achievements of its own and other civilizations created in history cannot stand tall among the world's nations. Comrade Jiang Zemin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of learning historical knowledge, understanding history, taking history as a guide, carrying forward the legacy, and continuing the tradition, which is crucial for civil servants to improve their work level. Learning history requires attention to modern Chinese history, contemporary Chinese history, and the history of the Communist Party of China. It is essential to fully utilize history's role in governing and educating, understanding the rise and fall and gains and losses from history. It can be said that a civil servant who fails to draw nourishment from history cannot become a qualified civil servant. Understanding and grasping the national conditions are the fundamental prerequisites for making correct decisions and comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society. Adhering to everything based on national conditions is the primary link that national civil servants must grasp to correctly understand and implement the Party's line, principles, and policies, and to do their work well. To advance the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century and ensure the smooth and healthy development of material civilization, political civilization, and spiritual civilization, it is necessary to further study national conditions and strive to integrate the universal principles of Marxism with China's national conditions. We have organized some comrades with high theoretical levels to write this book. The content of this book is concise and to the point, with appropriate choices of historical and national conditions knowledge, strong, highlighting key points and essentials, making it suitable for self-study and training for national civil servants.
