This is our regular understanding in exploring the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the greatest magic weapon for our success.

This correspondence has created an organic and unified new cultural life body, making Marxism Chinese, Chinese excellent traditional culture modern, and the new culture formed through "combination" a cultural form of Chinese path to modernization.
The second combination is a profound summary of our party's historical experience in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, a profound grasp of the development laws of Chinese civilization, indicating that our party's understanding of the Chinese path, theory, and system has reached a new height, indicating that our party's historical self-confidence and cultural confidence have reached a new height, and that our party's consciousness in promoting cultural innovation in inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture has reached a new height.
The second combination is another ideological liberation, allowing us to fully utilize the precious resources of excellent traditional Chinese culture in a broader cultural space, and explore future oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
——Connecting the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of China's excellent traditional culture has laid a solid foundation for us to stand firm in the world's cultural turmoil.
