马克思主义中国化是一项伟大的事业，是马克思主义基本原理与中国革命和建设实际不断结合的过程。马克思主义中国化出现了两次历史性飞跃：第一次飞跃形成了毛泽东思想这一伟大的理论成果；第二次飞跃形成了中国特色社会主义理论体系这一伟大的理论成果，其中以邓小平理论为主体。马克思主义中国化是革命和建设的实践过程，也是理论的创造过程。毛泽东思想是中国革命实践的经验总结，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶。邓小平作为毛泽东的亲密战友和助手，在马克思主义中国化第一次历史性飞跃中做出了重要贡献。在民主革命时期，邓小平创建左右江革命根据地，在中央苏区工作中坚持毛泽东革命路线，抵制“左”倾错误，抗战后在华北开创了华北敌后抗日根据地，全面践行毛泽东的新民主主义革命理论和政策，解放战争中与刘伯承一起挺进大别山，解放大西南，以辉煌战绩彰显了毛泽东军事思想的威力；新中国建立后他在参与领导经济建设的同时高度关注执政党建设问题，发表了一系列重要论述，发展了毛泽东建党思想；在社会主义全面建设时期不断总结经验教训，探索我国社会主义建设的规律，“文革”后期为挽回和减少“文革”造成的损失发动了全面整顿，成为改革开放的预演。邓小平在马克思主义中国化第一次历史性飞跃中做出了卓越贡献，也为马克思主义中国化第二次飞跃做了理论和实践的准备。邓小平理论与毛泽东思想是一脉相承而又与时俱进的，毛泽东思想为邓小平理论准备了思想前提，邓小平理论也在不断的丰富发展着毛泽东思想。

Sinicization of Marxism is a very great business, and it’s also a process which Marxism fuses constantly with Chinese revolution and construction. Sinicization of Marxism has twice historic leap so far, the first leap produce the theoretical result of Mao Zedong thought, and the second leap produce the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, in which Deng Xiaoping Theory is the principal part.Sinicization of Marxism not only put revolution and construction into practice, but also creat the great theory. Mao Zedong thought is the crystallization of Chinese revolution practice and the collective intelligence of Chinese Communist Party. Deng Xiaoping, as Mao Zedong’s intimate and assistant,made lots of efforts in the first leap of Sinicization of Marxism.In the democratic revolution times, Deng Xiaoping established the Zuoyoujiang revolutionary base area, carried out Mao Zedong’s revolutionary ideas resolutely and resisted Wang Ming’s wrong ideas. What’s more, he established the anti-Japanese base areas of the north China and carried out Mao Zedong’s revolutionary theory comprehensively about new-democratic revolution in the anti-Japanese war. And in the War of Liberation, Deng Xiaoping pushed forward Dabieshan,liberated the Southwest region and reflected Mao Zedong military thoughts’power with his brilliant achievement. After the new China founded, he paiticipated in leading economic construction,paying attention to the construction of the ruling party and publishing lots of important ideas to expand Mao Zedong’s party building thought. In the socialist construction period Deng Xiaoping drew lessons from the past, explored regular pattern of the socialist construction,and made a rectification in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution end.Deng Xiaoping made lots of great efforts in the first leap of Sinicization of Marxism, at the same time he also made preparations for the second leap of Sinicization of Marxism in the theory and practise. Deng Xiaoping theory and Mao Zedong thought come down in one continuous line,and keep pace with the times. Mao Zedong thought is the mental preparation of Deng Xiaoping theory, and Deng Xiaoping theory also richs Mao Zedong’s thought.
