新中国的成立以及社会主义制度的建立，标志着中国道路的起步。经过六十多年的发展，特别是在改革开放后，中国取得了令世界瞩目的成就，在实践中形成了符合国情的中国特色社会主义道路。　　马克思主义是中国道路产生、形成和发展的理论来源和实践根据。马克思、恩格斯关于社会发展道路多样性的观点、跨越“卡夫丁峡谷”的设想等为社会发展提供了有益借鉴；列宁关于向社会主义过渡从“直接过渡”转为“迂回过渡”的思想和实践、社会主义建设思想的精髓以及社会发展阶段理论，为中国特色社会主义道路的发展提供了理论根据和重要启示。中国道路是在对苏联模式的借鉴和超越中形成的，包括历史和人民对社会主义的选择、在苏联模式的影响下建立的高度集中的计划经济体制对中国产生的双面影响以及中国道路对马克思主义理论的创造性发展。改革开放的伟大实践最终促进了中国特色社会主义道路的形成并使之展现出鲜明的实践特色。中国道路的成功离不开中国化的马克思主义的理论指导、中国特色社会主义制度的保障作用；离不开矛盾的普遍性与特殊性相统一的实践思维方式；也离不开中国道路和平崛起、合作共赢、做负责任大国的世界眼光。中国道路在取得了巨大成功的同时，也面临着人口资源与环境、效率与公平、义利冲突等方面的问题和挑战。为了更好地应对这些问题与挑战，中国道路的未来发展应遵循一定的科学尺度和价值尺度，包括尊重客观规律与发挥主观能动性相结合、以促进人的自由全面发展为价值目标、坚持在改革开放中不断发展完善中国道路等。

The establishment of new China and the socialist system is the start of China's road. After more than 60 years' development, especially after the reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in the world and also has formed the socialist road with Chinese characteristics in the course of practice. This road accords with national conditions.　　The production, formation and development of China's road is based on marxism. Marx and Engels's thought about social development path diversity and over caudine forks provides useful reference for the social development. Lenin's thought about "direct transition" into "circuitous transition" to socialism, the essence of socialist construction and the social development stage theory provides theoretical basis and important implications for the development of the socialist road with Chinese characteristics. China's road forms in the Soviet model's reference and beyond, including the history and the people's choice of socialism, the double impact of China of the highly centralized planned economic system under the influence of the Soviet model, and the creative development of marxist theory. The great practice of reform and opening-up ultimately promotes the formation of the socialist road with Chinese characteristics and makes it show a distinct characteristic of practice. The success of China's road can not do without the theoretical guidance of the sinicization of marxism, the guarantee of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the practice thinking way of the unifies on contradiction's universality and particularity and the world vision of China's road's peaceful rise, win-win cooperation and be a responsible superpower. China's road has obtained great achievements, but it also faces with many problems and challenges, including the contradiction between population, resource and environment, the contradiction between efficiency and fairness, and the conflict between interests and moral, etc. In order to cope with these problems and challenges better, the future development of China's road should follow certain scientific dimension and value dimension, including respecting the objective law and combining our subjective initiative, promoting the free all-round development of human beings as the value goal, adhering to constantly development and improvement of China's road in the reform and opening up and so on.
