Abstract: Summarizing innovations in practice and historical experiences of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and integrating them into the ideological and political education is not only an important magic weapon for the CPC to inspire wisdom and gather strength, but also a crucial content for the ideological and political education to implement the fundamental task of fostering a moral education. The practical experiences in the thirteen years in Yan'an constitute an important chapter in the Party's history. In the process of combining them with the ideological and political education, we should start from the four dimensions of ideological maturity, political maturity, spiritual maturity and power maturity. The CPC's theoretical exploration in correcting mistakes and adhering to the truth should be well sorted out. The development process about how it has firmly adhered to a correct political direction and achieved the highest political leadership should be clearly explained. We should carry forward the Yan'an spirit that the Party cultivated during the thirteen years in Yan'an. We need to thoroughly understand the continuous growth of the Party in terms of organization, military strength, political construction, and communication. We also need to educate students to study the Party's history to understand the truth, enhance confidence, respect virtues, and do practical work so as to become qualified builders and successors of socialism with Chinese characteristics. 

Key words: ideological and political theory course, Communist Party of China, Yan'an period, maturity of the Party
