The profound historical vision, dynamic practice spirit and systematic dialectical thinking constitute the intrinsic character of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought. History is the ideological weapon with which Xi Jinping interprets ecological civilization. The historical character demonstrates the human pattern, long-term vision and historical responsibility of ecological civilization construction. Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization contains dynamic and practical elements, and practicality is its essence and soul, which can guide practice and change the world. The dialectical character in Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought can best reflect the inheritance and innovation of Marxist ecological civilization view. This thought integrates many propositions and categories systematically, dynamically and generally, and puts forward many new viewpoints and ideas of ecological civilization construction dialectically and creatively.
