Constantly Climbing New Ideological Peak -- In-depth Study and Comprehensive Implementation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era

Grasp the powerful power of truth - why can the CPC, why is socialism with Chinese characteristics good, in the final analysis, it is the Marxist line, which is Chinese and contemporary

In the prime of summer, on Xingye Road in Shanghai. In the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a thin booklet attracted many visitors to stop.

This 56 page pamphlet accompanied the birth and growth of the CPC is the first full Chinese translation of the Communist Manifesto translated by Chen Wangdao.

Why is the taste of truth sweet? Because Marxism is a scientific theory, it profoundly reveals the universal laws of nature, human society, and the development of human thinking, and points out the direction for the progress of human social development; It has a distinct practical character, not only dedicated to scientifically "explaining the world", but also actively "changing the world".

Why is the taste of truth sweet? Because for a hundred years, truth has nourished the land of China and nurtured numerous fruitful achievements in a prosperous era. The Party insists on writing Marxism on its own banner, continuously promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and creating unprecedented development miracles in human history for the great Eastern powers.

A party with lofty ideals and lofty aspirations, once mastering scientific thinking, can go through hardships and achieve invincibility.

Marxism is the "theoretical power" of the CPC, and the century long glory of the CPC is the greatest and most vivid practice of Marxism——

In the cave dwellings in the valleys of the Loess Plateau, there are desks, maps, pens and ink, oil lamps, braziers... everywhere is a narrative of history. In 1937, Comrade Mao Zedong wrote the famous "On Contradiction" in Yan'an.

Consciously applying the Marxist concept of contradiction to discover, analyze, and solve problems is an inherent requirement of dialectical materialism and a methodology that our party has always adhered to.

At a time when mountains and rivers are shattered and the people are struggling, efforts should be made to solve the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the people, and to achieve "standing up"; In the process of socialist construction and reform and opening up, efforts should be made to solve the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of the people and backward social production, and strive to become prosperous; When socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, efforts will be made to solve the contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and unbalanced and insufficient development, and to promote "strength".

The view of contradiction, the view of the masses, the view of practice, the view of development... The CPC has united and led hundreds of millions of Chinese people to use the scientific truth of Marxism to clean up the stormy night, illuminate the journey of national rejuvenation, completely transform this ancient country, completely change the fate of the Chinese people, and completely rewrite the political landscape of human society.

In the great leap of the Chinese nation from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, the scientific and truthful nature of Marxism has been fully tested, the people-oriented and practical nature of Marxism has been fully implemented, and the openness and timeliness of Marxism have been fully demonstrated.

Looking back from the peak of the times, one can more clearly see the historical trajectory of theory and practice complementing each other.

Marx pointed out that any real philosophy is the spiritual essence of its own time.

In the process of constantly climbing new ideological peaks, the CPC has realized the law, clarified the direction, learned methods, increased wisdom, and constantly opened up a new realm of sinicization and modernization of Marxism——

This is a keen insight to grasp patterns and discover trends. By insighting into the "time and trend" of contemporary China and the world on a broad spatiotemporal coordinate, and continuously deepening our understanding of the laws of the Communist Party's governance, socialist construction, and human social development, our party's theory and practice of governing the country continue to enrich and develop.

This is the responsibility of seeking happiness, rejuvenation, progress, and great harmony. Firmly adhering to the people's position, shouldering the national mission, paying attention to the fate of humanity, showcasing the sentiments of the world, and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process through continuous self-improvement and struggle, profoundly changing the trend and pattern of world development, and creating a new form of human civilization.

This is the magnificent spirit of answering the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times. Starting from reality, focusing on solving the practical problems of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction in the new era, comprehensively grasping the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, and making correct answers that are in line with China's reality and the requirements of the times, better guiding China's practice.

This is a comprehensive grasp, dialectical analysis, and forward-looking approach that keeps pace with the times. Look at the overall situation, plan for the long term, and take the overall situation into consideration, make a major judgment that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, make a major judgment that major social contradictions in China have changed, coordinate to promote the overall layout of "Five in One", coordinate to promote the strategic layout of "Four Comprehensions", and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization.

This is a conscious consciousness that is seen in the bud and transformed into the bud. Be prepared and not worry, it is the common way of the country. Adhere to a sense of crisis and bottom line thinking, coordinate development and security, take the initiative and play the first game, promote high-quality development and high-level security, cultivate opportunities in crises, and open up new opportunities in changes.

This is a distinct style of grasping to the end and striving for complete victory. With the spirit of "success doesn't have to be in me" and the historical responsibility of "success must be in me", with the perseverance of "nailing nails" and the determination of "stepping on stones to leave marks, grasping iron to leave marks", we will draw a blueprint to the end, work one after another, and never withdraw until we achieve complete victory.

This is a spiritual force that dares to fight and is good at fighting. In the face of risks and challenges that are rare in the world and in history, we should strengthen the morale, backbone and confidence of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups. We should not believe in evil, be afraid of ghosts, and be afraid of pressure. We should advance in the face of difficulties and rise to the occasion. We should spare no effort to overcome all difficulties and challenges on the way forward, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world for business development.

……

Starting from the Marxist materialist view of history, we have always been firm in our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the new era, socialism with Chinese characteristics is flourishing, further highlighting the superiority of the socialist system. Socialism, which has gone through five hundred years of development, has shown new vitality and vigor in China in the 21st century;

Starting from the Marxist theory of party building, we firmly adhere to and strengthen the comprehensive leadership of the Party, and with unprecedented courage and determination, promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. The Party's political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization, and social appeal have significantly enhanced, and the Party has become stronger in revolutionary forging. The century old Party is in its prime, inspiring the ambitious spirit of dedicating itself to the great cause of the future;

Starting from the Marxist theory of comprehensive human development, adhering to the development concept of putting the people at the center, winning the battle against poverty, and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects on the land of China, a country that has experienced many vicissitudes has risen to a myriad of heights, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has shown unprecedented bright prospects. Our nation has never been so proud and confident as it is today, and our people have never been so proud and independent;

……

The great changes of the new era have milestone significance in the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation.

A big party holding truth, a nation with profound heritage, and a rapidly changing country will surely create new and greater miracles. Embarking on a new journey, we are closer, more confident, and capable than ever before in history to achieve the grand goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

As theoretical innovation advances, theoretical armament must keep up with it.

Treat science with a scientific attitude and pursue truth with a spirit of truth.

Adhering to and developing Marxism must be combined with China's specific realities and with the excellent traditional culture of China. Only when rooted in the rich soil of our own country and national history and culture can the tree of Marxist truth take root and flourish.

"The significant proposition of Marxism's sinicization and modernization itself determines that we must not abandon the soul of Marxism, nor the root of China's excellent traditional culture. Adhering to this soul and root is the foundation and prerequisite for theoretical innovation."

Practice has proven that the better the combination of the two, the richer the sources of theoretical innovation, and the stronger the power of theoretical innovation.

Grasping Theoretical Logic and Adhering to the Soul of Marxism——

In 2012, which was also a cold winter season, shortly after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary braved the wind and snow to come to Fuping deep in the Taihang Mountains to "see the true poverty" and issued a mobilization order for poverty alleviation.

Step on the snow twice and serve the people all the way.

The great cause of a thousand years is the land of the people. Marxism is a theory that speaks for and represents the people, and the creative practice of the people is an inexhaustible source of Marxist theoretical innovation. The achievements of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism are the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people.

The supremacy of the people originates from the Marxist materialist view of history. Confidence and self-reliance demonstrate a firm belief in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism. Adhering to the basic requirements of Marxist dialectics and epistemology, adhering to the principles of righteousness and innovation, problem orientation reflects the distinct characteristics of Marxism, and systematic concepts are important epistemologies and methodologies of dialectical materialism. Embracing the world and demonstrating the lofty value pursuit of Marxism... Having the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the fundamental basis for our party to firmly believe and grasp historical initiative.

Grasping the Historical Logic and Inheriting the Roots of Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture——

In the hometown of Confucius, we advocate "using the past for the present and innovating through the old"; After investigating the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, he stressed that "we should cherish the precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors"; Entering Yuelu Academy, gazing at the plaque of "seeking truth from facts", sighing "we must localize the truth"; Arriving at the Zhuxi Garden by the Jiuqu River, I proposed to "organically combine adhering to Marxism with promoting excellent traditional Chinese culture"

On June 1st this year, General Secretary visited the Central General Hall of the National Version Museum at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, stepped into the deep shelf of the Lantai Cave Library, carefully observed precious cultural relics, and felt the atmosphere and heritage of ancient civilization that has been passed down to this day: "Take a walk, experience it. These woodblocks and classics contain the wisdom, spirit, and culture of the Chinese nation, and also contain the power of life and death."

Chinese culture has a long and rich history, and Chinese civilization is vast and profound. The "Six Musts" deeply rooted in the fertile soil of excellent traditional Chinese culture:

The principle of putting the people first draws on the experience of "putting the people at the foundation of the country, being steadfast and peaceful" and "governing a country with stability and benefiting the people"; Confidence and self-reliance embody the spirit of "self-improvement and perseverance", "carrying material with virtue", and "promoting virtue and morality"; Adhering to the principles of upholding integrity, innovating and inheriting the values of "upholding harmony in the middle", "renovating the past and promoting innovation", and "keeping pace with the times"; Problem oriented promotion of the tradition of "practical application", "seeking truth from facts", and "unity of knowledge and action"; The system concept condenses the wisdom of "nine states are interconnected", "diverse and integrated", and "seeing through small details and understanding"; Embrace the ideas of "harmony between the people and the world", "harmony among nations", and "universal harmony" for the development of the world

The second combination is another liberation of thought, strengthening historical and cultural confidence, adhering to the principle of making the past serve the present, innovating through the old, fully utilizing the precious resources of excellent traditional Chinese culture, exploring future oriented theoretical and institutional innovations, endowing scientific theories with distinct Chinese characteristics, and endowing the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics with a broader and more profound historical depth.

Grasp the logic of practice and condense the essence of the great practical experience of the new era——

"Sand" is the theme of this trip.

More than two years ago, during the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Inner Mongolia delegation was present for deliberation.

Adding a word is a vivid interpretation of the system concept, which includes both a global perspective of "a big game" and a methodology of "using points to cover areas".

A new era, a new journey, a grand pattern, and a grand strategy. In answering the questions of the times and drawing the long-term future, key points are connected and forming momentum, opening up vast space for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Since the new era, we have always adhered to the principle of putting the people first, won the battle against poverty and the fight against epidemic prevention and control, and taken solid steps towards building a healthy, safe, and beautiful China; Firmly adhering to the "Four Confidences", self-confidence and self-reliance have become the inherent temperament and spiritual outlook of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation; Efforts will be made to strengthen the foundation, cultivate the foundation, and promote innovation in all aspects of work with great courage and courage; From iron fisted anti-corruption to comprehensive and deep reform, promoting problem-solving to overcome difficulties; To coordinate and promote the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the strategic layout of the "Four Comprehensives", and make systematic arrangements for the development of the Party and the country's undertakings; Building a community with a shared future for mankind, creating new forms of human civilization, and contributing Chinese solutions and wisdom to world peace and development

The era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory.

The "Six Musts to Adhere to" is a systematic methodology formed by our party in an extremely unusual and extraordinary historical process, which accurately recognizes changes, scientifically adapts to changes, and actively seeks changes. It contains the theoretical and philosophical principles of the party's innovative theory.
