For the development of China, philosophical consideration has been made by four-generation nation leaders in different periods. Being practical and realistic, obeying the mass line and being independent are the living soul of Mao Zedong' s thought. The coming into being and developing process of Mao Zedong' s thought is the process of combining theory with practice. Deng Xiaoping' s theory brings forth new through and opens a new way for future. It opened up a new realm for Marxism and inherited and developed Mao Zedong' s thought. On the new era,Jiang Ze- min put forward the theory of "three represents", developed Marxism' s party-building theory. HuJingtao put forward the viewpoint of "harmonious society" and "scientific development", which is higher requirement for national econ- omy and social development.
