On May 16, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping called for innovation in philosophy and social sciences, including political science, in his important speech at the Symposium on Philosophy and Social Sciences, which put forward new and higher requirements for the development of political science that fully reflects Chinese characteristics, Chinese style and Chinese style in the new era. What is Political Science? Before we can figure out what political science is, we need to understand what politics is. As early as 1940, Mao Zedong pointed out in "On New Democracy": "A certain culture (culture as an ideological form) is a reflection of the politics and economy of a certain society, and it gives great influence and acts on the politics and economy of a certain society; While the economy is the foundation, politics is the expression of economic concentration. This is our basic view of the relationship between culture and politics and economics and the relationship between politics and economics. Then, a certain form of politics and economics is the first to determine that certain form of culture; Then, that certain form of culture influences and acts on a certain form of politics and economy. Mao Zedong's famous exposition tells us that a big society is composed of three parts: economy, politics and culture. The economy is the foundation, and the economic base determines the superstructure, not only the political superstructure, but also the cultural superstructure. However, politics is the concentrated expression of the economy, and under certain conditions, politics plays a decisive counterrole to the economy, and the superstructure of politics plays a decisive counterrole on the economic foundation. A certain form of politics, together with a certain form of economy, first determines a certain form of culture. Therefore, certain politics occupies a very important and irreplaceable role in a certain social formation. In order to further clarify what political science is, let us further look to General Secretary Xi Jinping's "May 17" speech for answers. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the Marxist theoretical system and knowledge system are broad and profound", "involving history, economy, politics, culture, society, ecology, science and technology, military, party building and other aspects"; "Philosophy and social science with Chinese characteristics" should "embody a systematic and professional nature." Philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics should cover history, economy, politics, culture, society, ecology, military, party building and other fields, including traditional disciplines, emerging disciplines, frontier disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines, unpopular disciplines and many other disciplines, continuously promote the construction and innovation of discipline system, academic system, and discourse system, and strive to build an all-round, all-field, all-element philosophy and social science system." Of all the disciplines listed, General Secretary Xi Jinping did not directly mention law, which is by no means an omission by the general secretary. Jurisprudence itself is not a field, it is only a tool that penetrates into all areas of society, an instrument of class struggle, and the embodiment of class will. Jurisprudence is also very important. But in the speech of the general secretary, where is the study of law, I personally understand that law is covered by political science. Both Mao Zedong's exposition and Xi Jinping's exposition show that we cannot understand the connotation of political science too narrowly or even biased. The research field of political science is very broad, and its research object should be the "politics" in the composition of economy, politics and culture, that is, it can also be called "big politics", which should be a political field that is juxtaposed with history, economy, culture, society, ecology, military, party building and other fields, rather than "small politics" limited to public policy, public management, personnel management, social survey and social statistics. Specifically, political science is the study of the development and change of activities and their connections in all aspects such as the masses, classes, leaders, political parties, states, governments, armies, laws, united fronts, strategies and tactics, and rising to the law and essence. The study of "small politics" in public policy, public management, personnel management, social survey and social statistics can not effectively serve the adherence to and development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, nor is it conducive to the innovative development of political science with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style and Chinese style. As a discipline of governing the country, the study of political science should conform to historical trends, focus on the theme of the times, adhere to problem-orientation, and meet the expectations of the people. The innovation of Chinese political science in the new era needs to adapt to the requirements of the new situation and new tasks, keep up with the pace of the times, stand at a historical height, adhere to the correct political, theoretical and academic directions, summarize and enhance the experience of Sinicization of Marxism from the combination of theory and practice, and prosper and develop political science with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style and Chinese style in the interaction with political construction and political development. The fundamental task of the study of Chinese political science is to serve the adherence to and development of the socialist political system with Chinese characteristics, integrate the basic principles of Marxism with the current conditions of the world, the country and the Party, and constantly solve major theoretical and practical problems in adhering to the socialist political system with Chinese characteristics and governing the country according to law. In today's world of economic globalization, political multipolarization, cultural diversification and social informatization, and at the critical moment of reform and opening up and socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics, political science researchers should further enhance their sense of responsibility and mission, strengthen their belief in Marxism, firm and correct political stance, adhere to the combination of theory and practice, put political science in the great history of world and China's development to innovate, and focus on building the political science of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Based on the research vision of "big political science", the political science team of Zhengzhou University serves the national and regional economic and social development, focuses on the research of "Internet international politics", "political security" and "cultural politics", and has achieved fruitful results in stages. Among them, Professor Yu Li published a pioneering academic work "Internet International Politics" after years of painstaking research, and was selected into the "National Philosophy and Social Science Achievement Library" in 2016, which fills the gap in the industry to a certain extent and plays a relatively important role in the construction and development of China's international political discipline. On the occasion that the political science discipline of Zhengzhou University was awarded the key discipline of Henan Province, the political science team of Zhengzhou University published the "Political Science Series of Zhengzhou University" to help promote the construction of "Double First-class" of Zhengzhou University.
