Abstract: Opening the modernity dimension of the Communist Manifesto is the dual need of theoretical innovation and practical development. First, the classical text needs to constantly innovate in combination with the context of a different time; second, the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era needs theoretical guidance. To open the modernity dimension of the Communist Manifesto, we need to adhere to the interactive cycle of “returning to the original text” and “being creative” in methodology: on the one hand, it explores and studies Marx and Engels' theoretical viewpoints and thinking methods on the generation and development of capitalist modernity, contradiction and dilemma, termination and transcendence, and reflects “returning to the original text”；on the other hand, on the basis of “returning to the original text”, “being creative” should use a creative principle to realize the contemporary transformation of the theory, and transform the modernity thought in the Communist Manifesto into a practical principle for the construction of modernity with Chinese characteristics in the new era. In this way, the combination of “the original text” and “the contemporary reality” in Marxism studies can be reflected, and the study of the Communist Manifesto can be closely combined with the reality of China with a realistic attitude.

Key words: Communist Manifesto, modernity, China's road, China's reality
