Beginning in the late 1970s, it was promoted by Deng Xiaoping and is a part of the official ideology of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The phrase means to look for economic and political solutions that have practical application rather than those based on political ideology (such as that of Mao Zedong). "Seek Truth from Facts" was originally a slogan promoted by Mao, but is now used to justify modern Chinese economic policies.
