Abstract: After the victory of the October Revolution in Russia, Marxism spread rapidly in China, which pointed out the direction for the early Chinese communists to understand the ethnic issue and explore national liberation in the light of Chinas specific realities. The theoretical exploration of the Chinese communists on the “ethnicity” and its evolutionary law, ethnic equality and unity, and solutions to the ethnic issue around 1920 not only resonated with the times and national conditions, but also showed differences in their respective emphases or degrees of theoretical concern. On the whole, the theoretical effort and ideological practice of the Chinese communists around 1920 started the process of adapting the Marxist ethnic theory to Chinas specific realities, which led the exploration of the Communist Party of China in pursuing the correct path to solving the ethnic issue with Chinese characteristics for more than 100 years.

Key words: Chinese communists, Marxism, ethnic theory, early exploration
