Since the 18th National People’s Congress of CPC, comrade Xi Jinping has put forward many new ideas and new opinions about the construction of ecological civilization in China, and gradually formed Xi Jinping’s thought on ecological civilization construction. Xi Jinping’s thought on ecological civilization construction has its inherent generative logic in theoretical origin, historical inheritance and realistic care. In the theoretical origin, Xi’ s thought on ecological civilization construction is the inheritance and development of Marx’s ecological view; In the historical inheritance, Xi’s thought on ecological civilization construction is the enrichment and innovation of the Party’s thought of protecting environment after the founding of PRC; In the realistic care, Xi’s thought on ecological civilization construction is the inevitable choice for the CPC to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.
