Abstract: The New Democratic Revolution period is a critical phase for the construction of the narrative of the Communist Party of China (CPC)s “revolutionary history”, which serves the needs of real politics. From the early days of the Party when theorists like Cai Hesen initially explained the Party history with the core concepts of historical materialism, to the formation of a narrative criticizing rightwing opportunism after the failure of the Great Revolution, and then to the reconstruction of Party history with the struggle between the two political lines as the main thread during the Yanan period, a classic narrative of revolutionary history was ultimately shaped. During this process, the core idea of historical materialism, the cultural resource of Confucian approach to history, and the reference from History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) jointly shaped the basic features of the narrative of CPC history. The historical experience of this period indicates that disciplinary institutionalization is the inevitable way for the narrative of Party history to fully exert its political function. During the Yanan period, through the popularization of the narrative of Party history, the standardization of its textbooks, and the professionalization of the teaching team, the initial formation of the discipline of CPC history was promoted. The construction of the narrative of CPC history during the New Democratic Revolution period demonstrated the unique historical perspective of the CPC, shaped the writing paradigm of CPC history after the founding of the Peoples Republic of China, and provided profound historical experience for the contemporary narrative of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Key words: the New Democratic Revolution period, the narrative of CPC history, historical materialism, the discipline of CPC history
