On the afternoon of June 30th, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held its sixth collective study to open up a new realm of Marxism with Chinese characteristics and modernization.On the basis of summarizing historical experience, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed and elaborated on scientific methods to promote theoretical innovation such as "two combinations" and "six must be adhered to", providing fundamental guidance for continuing to promote the Party's theoretical innovation. We must adhere to and apply them well.
Li Wentang, Vice President of the Central Party School, gave an explanation on this issue and put forward work suggestions. Comrades from the Central Political Bureau carefully listened to the explanation and had discussions.
He pointed out that looking back at the century long struggle history of the Party, the reason why our Party was able to achieve significant achievements in various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, and to lead the people to complete arduous tasks that other political forces in China cannot accomplish, fundamentally lies in mastering the scientific theory of Marxism, continuously promoting theoretical innovation in combination with new realities, and achieving major theoretical achievements such as Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era. We have always adhered to the principles of liberating the mind, seeking truth from facts, keeping pace with the times, and seeking truth and pragmatism, so that Marxism can radiate strong vitality in China and enable the Party to grasp a powerful force of truth. Why the CPC can and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, is the Marxist line, which is Chinese and contemporary. This is the conclusion of history. We must continuously deepen our understanding of the regularity of the Party's theoretical innovation, and achieve more fruitful theoretical innovation results in the new era and new journey.
Adhering to this soul and root is the foundation and prerequisite for theoretical innovation. Theoretical innovation must speak new words, but we cannot lose our ancestors. Counting the classics and forgetting our ancestors is equivalent to cutting off the soul and root meridians, and ultimately making a subversive mistake of losing the soul and root meridians. We must adhere to Marxism, which is the foundation of building the Party and the country and rejuvenating the Party and the country. We must continue to develop Marxism rooted in our own country and the fertile soil of our national history and culture. We must be confident in history and culture. We must adhere to the principle of making the past serve the present and bringing forth the new. Under the guidance of Marxism, we must comprehensively excavate the treasure house of China's civilization of more than 5000 years. We should use Marxism to activate the vital and excellent factors in China's excellent traditional culture and give new meaning to the times, inject the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation into Marxism at a deeper level, effectively link the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of China's excellent traditional culture, fuse into new theoretical advantages, and constantly climb new ideological peaks. We need to broaden our theoretical perspective, learn from and draw on all outstanding achievements of human civilization with an open mind that embraces all rivers, and draw on excellent ideological and cultural resources from the sum of human knowledge to innovate and develop the Party's theory, forming a comprehensive and inclusive theoretical framework.
The era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory. All revolutionary theories are products that meet the needs of the times. The theory used to observe, grasp and lead the times must reflect the voice of the times, must not be divorced from the practice of the times, must constantly summarize practical experience, and condense it into the ideological essence of the times. Our promotion of theoretical innovation is a theoretical innovation based on practice, rather than just sitting in an ivory tower. We must adhere to discovering and developing truth in practice, and using practice to achieve and test truth. In the context of the accelerated evolution and deep interaction of the "two major situations", human society is facing many common problems that urgently need to be solved. China's reform, development and stability, domestic and foreign affairs, national defense, governance of the party, the country, and the military are also facing a series of new major issues. The new exam questions posed by China, the world, the people, and the times are more complex and difficult than in the past, and we urgently need to submit answers from the combination of theory and practice. We should firmly establish the concept of grand history, grasp the development context and correct trend of world history with a broader vision and a longer perspective, recognize the grand logical trend of China's social development and human social development, grasp the historical evolution and practical requirements of Chinese path to modernization, deepen our understanding of the laws of promoting high-quality development and building a new development pattern in the new round of scientific and technological changes, the grand pattern of global economic development, and the phased characteristics of China's development, deepen our understanding of the laws of the Party's self revolutionary strategic thinking in the comparison of the fate of world Marxist parties and the practical tests faced by our Party's long-term governance, comprehensively and systematically propose scientific ideas and effective countermeasures to solve practical problems, and let Marxism in contemporary China and Marxism in the 21st century Show more powerful and persuasive power of truth.
The reason why Marxism has a profound impact is that it reveals the truth of human social development with profound theories and demonstrates the scientific nature of its theory with a complete system. The development of socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era is a process of continuous enrichment, expansion, systematization, and rationalization. The research and construction project of Marxist theory should continuously deepen theoretical research and interpretation, with a focus on studying and interpreting the new concepts and judgments proposed by our party, grasping the inherent connections between them, and educating and guiding the whole party and the country to better learn and grasp the theoretical system of socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Marxism is a theory that speaks for the people and represents them. It was founded to change the fate of the people and enriched and developed in the practice of people's liberation. The creative practice of the people is an inexhaustible source of Marxist theoretical innovation. As creators of history, the people are not only creators of material wealth, but also creators of spiritual wealth. 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. Whether it is Mao Zedong Thought, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, or the ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, all originate from the wisdom, exploration, and creation of the people. Continuing to promote the theoretical innovation of the Party must adhere to the mass line, and we must not engage in closed door discussions, sit idly by, or indulge in daydreams. We must respect the pioneering spirit of the people, pay attention to summarizing new experiences from the creative practices of the people, elevate them to rational understanding, extract new theoretical achievements, and strive to make the innovative theories of the Party deeply rooted in the hearts of millions of people, becoming grounded, gathering people's wisdom, following public opinion, and winning the hearts of the people.
