In the social development and change over 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, diversified social thought currents have emerged continuously and have had a fierce debate with Marxist ideology, from which several new development trends have been shown as follows: in terms of theoretical evolution, a development from paying attention to abstract academic debate into paying attention to realistic political appeal; in terms of realistic concern, a development from the macroscopic road of social development into the microcosmic benefit distribution; in terms of internationally interaction situation, a development from foreign thought currents into domestic thought currents; in terms of discourse extension, a development from intellectual discourse into popular discourse; in terms of the mode of transmission, a development from the one-way transmission in the traditional media era into the multi-dimensional transmission in the omnimedia era. The construction of Marxist ideology in the New Era should scientifically grasp the new development trends of social thought currents and effectively enhance the cohesive and leading force of Marxist ideology to the diversified social thought currents in contemporary China, so as to guarantee the security of national ideology and improve the national governance efficiency.
