Abstract：The socialist construction with Chinese characteristics must not trust itself to the spontaneity of historical development; instead, it should inherit and develop the subjective spirit of creating history in historical materialism, integrate the historic task of national renaissance with the reflection on the fixes of modern capitalism, and contribute to the new forms of civilization via positive constructive practices in face of mans existential alienation and selfdestruction. So, historical materialism must turn itself from the embryology of revolution into the motivation to postrevolutionary construction, and its content will vary with its basic functions. Such changes may usher in updated sinolized innovation mode of historical materialism, which in turn will become the quintessence of ideology in line with contemporary theme and lay the ideological foundation of the constructive political practice of contemporary Chinese socialism.
