The concept of contradiction is people's overall view on the laws of opposition, unity, and movement of things, which determines their understanding and grasp of the driving force and basic state of development of things.
The crystallization of the idea of adhering to the basic principles of contradictory movements and continuously and effectively responding to risk challenges
Adhere to and develop the contradictory view of Marxism. Marxism reveals the basic principles of "coexistence, struggle, and integration" of contradictions, "mutual infiltration and transformation of polar oppositions", "unity of opposites", and comprehensively reveals the general principles of the continuous spear shield movement of nature, human society, and human thinking on this basis. The people of the CPC have innovated and formed a series of sinicized and epochal views of contradiction in combination with new situations and problems in different periods, including putting forward and establishing many core concepts and categories related to contradictions such as "major social contradictions", "basic social contradictions" and "contradictions among the people", as well as many scientific theories and methods formed in understanding and resolving contradictions.
Absorb and transform the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture. The vast literary and historical classics of the Chinese nation elaborate on a large number of simple views on contradictions. For example, in the Book of Changes, it is recorded that "those in danger are those who secure their position; those who perish are those who protect their existence; those in chaos are those who govern them. Therefore, a gentleman who is safe but does not forget danger, those who survive but do not forget death, and those who govern but do not forget chaos, is a simple expression of the idea that the country can be protected by personal security." This classic ancient text is a simple expression of the unity and mutual transformation of the opposing sides of contradictions.
Theoretical sublimation of risk prevention and resolution challenges. Practice is the source of knowledge, the sole criterion for testing truth, and the determining force for the development and improvement of knowledge. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The CPC has led the people to carry out a wealth of practices, made fruitful achievements and nurtured valuable experience in dealing with risks and challenges.
Adhere to the principles of universality and particularity of contradictions, and construct a contradiction view from both the overall and key aspects
The principle of universality and particularity of contradictions is the core content of the basic principles of Marxist contradiction movement.
Contradiction is the fundamental driving force behind the development and change of things.Taking contradiction as the fundamental driving force for the development of things, grasping the basic laws and driving forces of the development and changes of things in the natural world, human society, and human thinking fields, reflects the universality of contradictions. Revolution, reform, and innovation are all important driving forces for the continuous development of society, but ultimately they are caused and driven by contradictions. This reflects that our party does not avoid or fear contradictions at any stage of development, acknowledges the objective fact that contradictions generally exist, and timely and effectively deepens reforms, promotes development, and resolves contradictions.
Pay attention to examining the fundamental contradictions of society as a whole. Marx fully explained the dialectical relationship between productive forces, production relations, economic foundations, and superstructure in the preface of "Critique of Political Economy". Comrade Mao Zedong clearly attributed this dialectical relationship to the content of basic social contradictions in his book "On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People".This reflects that our party has formed a series of "overall" and "comprehensive" new ideas, viewpoints, and judgments based on a comprehensive and profound understanding of the actual situation in China's economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction, as well as national defense and military construction, and party building. We have put forward a series of theoretical self-awareness in coordinating strategic deployments.
Comprehensively and accurately grasp the risks and challenges faced by our country.
Continuously enhance problem awareness and adhere to problem orientation. Continuously enhancing problem awareness and adhering to problem orientation in the process of understanding and transforming the world is an important methodology of Marxism, and it is an important theoretical quality that Marxist political parties always adhere to.
Scientific judgment shows that the main contradictions in our society have changed. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "On Contradictions" that "in the issue of the particularity of contradictions, there are two situations that must be specifically raised and analyzed, which are the main contradiction and the main contradiction aspect." The main contradiction in society belongs to the category of the particularity of contradictions.The need of the Chinese people for material culture has been upgraded to a need for a better life, and backward social production problems have also transformed. The problem of unbalanced and insufficient development has become the main limiting factor in meeting the needs of the Chinese people for a better life.
Grasp the main contradictions in society and clarify the central task. Understanding the main contradictions in society to clarify the central task is an important experience for our party to promote social development and progress in the long term. The third historical resolution of the Party comprehensively analyzed and summarized the development process of our Party's central task during the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the socialist revolution and construction, the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, and the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, by grasping the main social contradictions.Linking the "main contradiction of society" with the "central task" not only accurately grasps the correspondence and consistency between the main contradiction of society and the central task, but also provides important guidance for our party to accurately establish the central task by grasping the main contradiction of society. It also points out the scientific path of continuously resolving the main contradiction of society for our party to successfully complete the central task.
Persist in achieving key breakthroughs in the overall promotion.Persisting in achieving key breakthroughs in the overall promotion stems not only from the principles of the relationship between the main and secondary contradictions, the main and secondary aspects of contradictions, but also from the methodology of unifying the "two point theory" and the "key point theory". Persisting in overall promotion helps to achieve breakthroughs in key areas, while successfully achieving breakthroughs in key areas can better drive overall promotion. This reflects that our party is not confused or restricted by local scope and phenomena, always adheres to a comprehensive view of things, grasps the overall appearance and connection of things, promotes the development of things from multiple aspects and all directions, and avoids the occurrence of shortcomings; It also reflects that our party is good at identifying the main contradictions that determine the nature of things and the focus of promoting the development of things, avoiding grasping the eyebrows and beard at once, and driving the overall development of things with breakthroughs in key areas.
Adhere to the principle of mutual transformation of contradictions and point out new paths for effectively resolving conflicts, risks, and challenges
Adhere to a comprehensive scientific thinking method.These scientific thinking methods play an important role in resolving risks and challenges, and are the magic weapon for us to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.
Adhere to the systematic and collaborative nature of reform.Only by adhering to the systematic nature of reform can we promote the comprehensive identification and overall resolution of risks and challenges faced by various fields, aspects, regions, and groups; Adhering to the synergy of reform can ensure that understanding and resolving risks and challenges are in the best configuration and collaborative state. Adhering to the relevance, systematicity, and synergy of reform is an effective response to the overall changes in the contradictions, risks, and challenges faced by China in the new era.
Persist in promoting the spirit of struggle and enhancing the ability to fight.Only by persistently enhancing the ability to struggle can we grasp and utilize the time, efficiency, and degree of resolving conflicts, ensure the optimal allocation of multiple forces, and truly achieve the ability to struggle, be good at fighting, and effectively fight. Only by combining the spirit of struggle with the enhancement of struggle skills can we forge advanced and powerful forces for resolving conflicts.
