"Historical patience" is a landmark concept put forward by the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as their chief representative, in applying grand historical perspective. It reflects a scientific grasp of the laws of the CPC's governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development. A deep of the theoretical connotation and practical requirements of "historical patience" can provide important theoretical support and methodological foundation for solving the deep-seated problems in the process of-style modernization. 

1. The major development strategy is the basic practice field for maintaining "historical patience."
On December 1, 2013, at the Central Urbanization Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "With regard to the issue of population urbanization, we need have sufficient historical patience." Since then, he has mentioned and elaborated on this concept in many occasions, which is reflected in related discussions on rural reform, rural revitalization, regional strategies, and Chinese-style modernization. It can be seen that the major development strategy is the basic practice field for maintaining "historical patience."
Since the era, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has made systematic plans and strategic arrangements for issues that concern the overall situation and have long-term, implemented or successively promoted a series of major development strategies such as rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, and new urbanization, which have had a profound impact on China' economic development. Generally speaking, simple problems can be quickly resolved in a short period of time, and the real value of patience is often fully demonstrated in dealing with complex issues. complexity of the major development strategy mainly lies in that it is "a collection of processes," and it requires a process from proposal to realization: from the time dimension, the duration the process varies, from decades, centuries, to even thousands of years, with intervals also large or small; from the spatial dimension, some are limited to specific regions or fields, others involve vast territories and affect different population scales. Neither the rural revitalization strategy, which is the general grasp of the "three rural" work in the new era and new journey nor the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which involves 11 provinces and municipalities along the river and covers nearly half of the country's population, nor the-style modernization that benefits more than 1.4 billion people and promotes comprehensive development, are development goals that can be achieved in one fell swoop. They need to be accumulated bit by bit and gradually advanced step by step.
2. The theoretical connotation of "historical patience"
The important exposition of General Secretary Xi Jinping "historical patience" contains rich and vivid scientific connotation, profound and rich essence and principles, and has distinct theoretical characteristics and solid theoretical foundation.
First, itheres to the dialectical unity of following the laws of historical movement and giving full play to the initiative of history. The fundamental reason why the materialist view of history can achieve revolutionary and creative breakthroughs in the history of human thought is that it profoundly reveals the objective laws hidden behind the complex and changeable historical phenomena. In this sense, following the laws of movement is the basis, confidence and essence of maintaining historical patience. At the same time, maintaining historical patience does not mean that people are passive and wait in front of the historical laws do nothing. Man is the subject of historical movement, and the laws of history are not only generated in people's social practice, but also realized in people's social practice The generation and realization of any historical law can not be separated from people's conscious and purposeful social practice activities. This is also the fundamental difference between historical laws and natural. As Engels said, "In nature (if we leave aside the reaction of man on nature), there are no conscious, blind motives... On the contrary, the field of social history, the actors are conscious, deliberate or passionate, and pursue certain purposes." Following the laws of historical movement and giving full play to the initiative of history two aspects of the same historical process, which is the essence of maintaining historical patience. We should not deny the latter by the former, nor the former by the latter, but need spirit of "success does not necessarily depend on me" and the historical responsibility of "success must depend on me". For example, with the improvement of the mode of production and development of science and technology, large-scale management will become an important trend of modern agricultural development, which is the inherent logic of the development of historical movement. However, we must soberly realize that the transformation of decentralized and extensive mode of agricultural management is a long historical process, which requires time and conditions, and can not be too impatient. This fully the dialectical unity of following the laws of historical movement and giving full play to the initiative of history.
Second, insist on the dialectical unity of quantitative change and qualitative change. Maintaining historical patience embodies the dialectical of quantitative change and qualitative change. On the one hand, quantitative change is the prerequisite and realistic foundation for qualitative change. Without a certain accumulation of quantity, qualitative change is impossible This has important methodological enlightenment for the promotion of major strategies: the overall qualitative change of major strategic goals can only be achieved on the basis of solid accumulation of a large of work and on the basis of stage-by-stage and local qualitative changes. Whether it is the new urbanization strategy, the rural revitalization strategy, or the regional coordinated strategy, we must not only maintain the strategic determination of "one blueprint to the end", but also carry forward the historical responsibility spirit of "one generation following another", and conditions for the occurrence of qualitative change in the continuous accumulation of quantitative change. A good blueprint, as long as it is scientific, in line with reality, and in line with the of the people, everyone should work one generation after another. On the other hand, qualitative change consolidates the results of quantitative change and triggers new quantitative changes on this basis. Qual change is the "joint" and "hub" of things from old quality to new quality, which is not only the end of the old quality's quantitative change in the previous, but also opens up the possibility space for new quality's new quantitative change at a higher level and creates a new interface. The opening and completion of a series of major strategies such as rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, and new urbanization are not only the fighting goals of the Chinese Communist Party based on the current stage, but also the necessary to move forward towards the ultimate realization of communism. The Party Constitution clearly stipulates that the highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is to realize communism. At the same, the Party Constitution also clearly stipulates that the highest ideal of communism pursued by the Communists of China can only be realized on the basis of the full development and high development socialist society. It must be realized that the realization of communism is a very long historical process, and we must base ourselves on the fighting goals of the Party at the present stage work hard to promote our cause. Therefore, we should deeply understand the political implications of maintaining "historical patience" from the height of realizing the lofty ideal of communism

Third, we will remain committed to the dialectical unity of strategy and tactics. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed: "We should always be far-sighted and prepared for danger in times of peace. We need to maintain strategic resolve and patience and strive for both the greater good and theutest detail." If "striving for the greater good" emphasizes viewing strategic issues from a global, long-term, and trend-based perspective, then "attending the minutest detail" focuses on starting from concrete operational details to ensure the implementation of tactics. The correctness of strategy and tactics directly affects the rise and fall of the socialist cause Strategy and tactics are dialectically unified: A long-term strategy needs flexible tactics to be implemented and ultimately realized. Tactics without strategy will inevitably become a fantasy or a theory on; strategy is the direction and goal of tactics, and tactics without strategic guidance will lose their way and even "miss the mark by a hair's breadth and by a thousand miles" Maintaining historical patience reflects the dialectical unity of adhering to strategy and tactics. From the perspective of time, maintaining historical patience requires taking into account both the present and long term. On the one hand, the present interest determines and serves the long-term interest, which is a remarkable characteristic and essential requirement of major development strategies. Major development have the essential attribute of being forward-looking: they serve the development needs of the contemporary era and pay more attention to long-term growth value, striving to benefit the offspring with fruits of development. On the other hand, the realization of strategy requires a long-term historical process. In this process, if we neglect the immediate interests of the masses, we fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties. From the perspective of space, major strategies are complex projects that involve many fields, dimensions, and levels, which determines that their implementation cannot limited to a single field, dimension, or level. Instead, overall planning and continuous progress are required. For example, improving the urbanization rate of permanent residents requires the reform of household registration system, the coordinated deployment of land policies and public service supply policies, and the coordinated advancement of the coordinated regional development strategy requires the cross-regional allocation of production and the advancement of the ecological compensation mechanism and the construction of the public service system. Achieving common prosperity for all requires the coordinated advancement of the cultivation of economic growth momentum, the of the wealth distribution mechanism, and the improvement of the social security system. All of these must be considered from a global perspective and follow a gradual approach, maintaining historical patience in systematic problems.

3. The practical requirements of "historical patience"
The important expositions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on "historical" not only demonstrate profound theoretical characteristics, but also contain rich methodology and targeted practical requirements.
Firstly, establish a macro view of history. The epistemological premise of historical patience is to establish a macro view of history, "to analyze the mechanism of evolution and explore the laws of history from the long river of history, the tide of the times and the global situation". The so-called macro view of history is not limited to a specific time, event, region, or period, but examines specific historical events and their historical significance from a broad perspective of long duration, long cycle, wide field, and all-round. Establishing a macro view of history requires not only focusing on the current and domestic situation, but also looking back to explore the logic of historical evolution, looking forward to grasp the trend of historical progress; not only grasping the essence and overall situation in midst of complex and changeable phenomena, but also focusing on the main contradictions and the main aspects of contradictions. Only by starting from a macro view of history can we the laws of historical development, and on this basis, actively adapt to the long-term, complex, and phased requirements of the historical process, thus achieving a dialectical unity following objective laws and giving full play to subjective initiative.
