Chinese psychology has made great progress in the past hundred years. However, under the influence of western scientism, there are some problems in the research object of Chinese psychology, such as the study of human elements, mental equal to material, and some limitations in the research paradigm, such as reductionism and mechanism, which lead to the shortcomings of Chinese psychology in serving the social reality of China. The report to the 20th CPC National Congress clearly pointed out the “two combinations”, that is, combining the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and excellent traditional culture. The “two combinations” provides guidelines to build a psychological theory system with Chinese style. In the face of the problems of China’s national and social development, Chinese psychology should realize that human beings have multi-dimensional attributes such as biology, psychology, culture, society and politics. Meanwhile, we should study the fundamental questions of what are human beings, human psychology and thought, human attributes and development, human behavior in reality and human ultimate pursuit of the meaning of life under the guidance of Marxism. The fundamental principle of reconstructing the theoretical system of Chinese psychology is to adhere to and develop Marxism, and constantly promote the innovation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, to enrich the theoretical system of Chinese psychology.
