The only 10 classical formulas Xi quotes across all 18 sessions

| 礼法合治、德主刑辅 | Confucian legal tradition | 018 |
| 为政之要莫先于得人 / 惟在得人 | 贞观政要 (Tang) | 018 · 053 |

No poetry. No 苏轼, no 王安石, no 张居正. No foreign attribution beyond Marx/Engels as framework. Contrast 用典 第一辑+二辑: 415 classical citations with Tang/Song poetry dominant.
Four-phase arc across Xi's three terms
History as method. Party history, historical materialism, imperial governance as model. Xi explicitly rules out 历史虚无主义.
History mobilized for policy: Silk Road → OBOR, WWII commemoration, law+virtue doctrine, patriotism.
Party / revolutionary history moves to front. Centenary prep. Offsite session at 北大红楼 + 毛泽东故居 (074). 党史学习 campaign.
探源工程, 中华民族共同体, 边疆治理 — history underwriting Xinjiang/Tibet/frontier policy via civilizational unity.
Repeat lecturers
| Lecturer | # | Sessions | Affiliation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 卜宪群 | 3 | 005 · 018 · 053 | CASS 历史所 |
| 李国强 | 2 | 031 · 101 | CASS 边疆所 → 历史研究院 |
12 of 18 lecturers are CASS or its 2019 spinoff 历史研究院 (which Xi himself established). The institutional pipeline Xi built now feeds his own curriculum.
Xi's signature history-prose (non-classical, recurring)
| Slogan | First | Recurs |
|---|---|---|
| 五千(多)年文明 | 018 | 007 · 029 · 057 · 066 · 082 · 093 |
| 讲仁爱、重民本、守诚信、崇正义、尚和合、求大同 | 013 (2014) | 082 (2022) — verbatim, 8yrs later |
| 创造性转化、创新性发展 | 013 | 029 · 066 · 082 · 093 |
| 中华民族共同体 | 029 (embryonic) | 082 · 093 · 101 |
| 历史虚无主义 (as enemy) | 018 | 074 |
| 大历史观 | 057 | — |
Vocabulary shifts across three terms · emergent patterns in all 107 readouts
Keyword frequencies from the full readout corpus, normalized per 10,000 body-text characters so CC-terms with different total volume are comparable. Character n-gram discovery surfaces emergent phrases Xi uses heavily in one term but not the others (common Xinhua boilerplate filtered).
Thematic bucket trajectories · phrase-rate per 10K chars
Each line = one thematic vocabulary bucket, summing rates of all curated phrases in that bucket. Left axis is rate per 10K body-text characters (higher = more air-time).
Top 24 phrase shifts · by rate-range across terms
Numbers in each cell are raw counts. Bar height and Δ are normalized per 10K body-text chars (CC18≈70K · CC19≈92K · CC20≈53K) so differences in how much text Xinhua published each term don't distort the comparison. Hover a cell for the exact rate.
Signature 4-grams per term · emergent, boilerplate-filtered
Character 4-grams with a term-dominance score ≥ 2.5× (appear heavily in this term, hardly ever in the other two). Reads as fragments of Xi's term-specific agenda.
Sessions
One acknowledged gap. Across all 108 numbered sessions, CC20 session 13 is absent from the People's Daily index (the upstream source for this corpus). The official numbering jumps from 第十二次 (2024-02-29 · 新能源技术与我国的能源安全) to 第十四次 (2024-05-27 · 促进高质量充分就业) — an 88-day gap vs. CC20's 54-day median. Most likely a session held but never publicly reported. No other CC term has a numbering gap. A placeholder row appears at the bottom of the table below.
