Deeply understanding and grasping the significant cultural significance of the "second combination"
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the cultural inheritance and development symposium: "The'second combination' is our party's profound summary of the historical experience of the modernization of Marxism in China, and a profound grasp of the law of the development of Chinese civilization. The understanding of China's roads, theories, and systems has reached a new height, indicating that our party's historical confidence and cultural confidence have reached a new height, it shows that our party's consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height." General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition provides scientific guidance for deeply understanding and grasping the great significance of the "second combination", constantly writing a new chapter of the Sinicization of Marxism, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
This indicates that our party's understanding of China's path, theory, and system has reached a new height
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "'combination' has opened up the space for innovation, allowing us to master the ideological and cultural initiative, and effectively act on the road, theory and system." From the cultural foundation of "Zhaizi China" to the cultural consciousness of "Why China", the "second combination" runs through the past, present and future, so that we can make full use of the excellent traditional Chinese culture in a broader cultural space. To explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
Our party's understanding of adhering to and developing the path of China has reached a new height. The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture has solidified the foundation of the road, giving the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics a broader and more profound historical depth, and expanding the cultural foundation of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics was developed under the guidance of Marxism and has also emerged from over 5000 years of Chinese civilization history. Without over 5000 years of Chinese civilization, there would be no Chinese characteristics; Without Chinese characteristics, there would not be the successful path of China we have today. Every step of China's development is based on the combination of Marxism with Chinese history, culture, and national conditions. The Chinese nation and its people have formed values such as benevolence, people-oriented, integrity, justice, harmony and harmony, and the pursuit of great harmony in the process of building a harmonious and peaceful society, respecting the times and upholding the position, understanding and constantly changing, and achieving success. Traditional Chinese virtues such as self-improvement, dedication and happiness, helping the needy and needy, bravery in the face of righteousness, filial piety and love for the elderly, and seeking common ground while reserving differences, harmony but differences, using literature to carry the Tao and culture, frugality and self-restraint, and harmony and harmony have formed the inherent genetic code of the Chinese path. These important values, traditional virtues, and humanistic spirit are deeply reflected in the governance of a peaceful state, implemented in the moral concept of self-cultivation and social conduct, infused into the thinking methods of seeking truth from things, and presented in a way of expressing both quality and culture. The persistence, resilience, sobriety, and contemplation of excellent traditional Chinese culture have provided us with abundant spiritual power and ideological resources to firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Our party's understanding of adhering to and developing the theory of China has reached a new height. The tree of Marxist truth can only be deeply rooted and flourish if it is rooted in our own country and the fertile soil of our national history and culture. Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action that must develop with changes in practice. A history of the development of Marxism is a history of Marx, Engels, and their successors constantly developing according to the times, practice, and understanding. It is a history of constantly absorbing all excellent ideological and cultural achievements in human history to enrich oneself. The significant proposition of sinicization and modernization of Marxism itself determines that we must not abandon the soul of Marxism or the root of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Our party's understanding of adhering to and developing the Chinese system has reached a new height. The advantage of the system is the greatest advantage of a political party and a country, which is to govern the country and order the people. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China. The Chinese system is guided by Marxism, rooted in the land of China, and has a profound foundation of Chinese culture. The excellent traditional Chinese culture provides a profound cultural foundation for adhering to and developing the Chinese system, and the "second combination" points out the necessary path for adhering to and developing the Chinese system. In the thousands of years of historical evolution, the Chinese nation has created a brilliant ancient civilization and formed rich ideas about national system and governance, such as the Great Harmony ideal of the Great Way and the principle of serving the world as a whole, the Six Contract Style, the political concept of unity of the Four Seas, the principle of morality as the mainstay of punishment as a supplement, and the rule of virtue as a way to civilize people, and so on. These important ideological concepts, as a component of China's excellent traditional culture, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people and have a subtle influence on their ways of thinking and behavior, becoming an important source of ideological and cultural governance for our party in the new era.
This indicates that our party's historical and cultural confidence has reached a new height
In this process, the Party's historical and cultural confidence has become increasingly firm.
The practice of strengthening historical and cultural confidence is inevitable. Our party is an active leader and practitioner of advanced Chinese culture, a faithful inheritor and promoter of excellent traditional Chinese culture, with high historical and cultural confidence. During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, our party insisted on using national forms and popular discourse to explain the issues of the Chinese revolution. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, our party adhered to the "double hundred" policy and systematically organized and studied the philosophy, history, literature, art, and other aspects of excellent traditional Chinese culture. In the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, our party adheres to the direction of "two actions" and draws wisdom and strength from the excellent traditional Chinese culture.The second combination has been successively included in the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centenary Struggle and the Report of the 20th National Congress of the Party.
The mission of strengthening historical and cultural confidence is inevitable.The modern civilization of the Chinese nation is a modern civilization that continues ancient civilization, not a modern civilization that eliminates ancient civilization; It is a modern civilization that has grown from the land of China, not simply copying the modern civilizations of other countries; It is a modern civilization with updated civilization, not a modern civilization with broken civilization. It contains the wisdom, spirit, and culture of the Chinese nation, and contains endless power. Only by continuously promoting the "second combination" can we truly shoulder the new cultural mission, cultivate an organic and unified new cultural life form in practice and creation, and build modern civilization of the Chinese nation in historical progress.
The logic of strengthening historical and cultural confidence is inevitable. Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture have different sources, but they have a high degree of compatibility with each other. Marxism entered China not because of its local conditions, but because it firmly rooted itself in the land of China; The development of Chinese civilization to modern times has not been cut off and withered, but has shown vitality in the great process of Chinese path to modernization, which is closely related to this high degree of compatibility. The excellent traditional Chinese culture embodies the values of serving the public, the people as the foundation of the country, governing with virtue, reforming the old and innovating, appointing people based on merit, integrating heaven and humanity, self-improvement, carrying virtue, promoting integrity and harmony, and being kind to neighbors. It is an important embodiment of the Chinese people's accumulated worldview, worldview, social view, and moral view in long-term production and life, and is highly compatible with the values of scientific socialism. This determines that the "second combination" is not a patchwork, not a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction. It not only deeply rooted Marxism in the cultural fertile soil of the Chinese nation, but also activated Chinese civilization with the power of truth. The second combination aims to make Marxism China's and Chinese excellent traditional culture modern, deeply reflecting the logical inevitability of our party's firm historical and cultural confidence.
This indicates that our party's consciousness in promoting cultural innovation in inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture has reached a new height
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "'combination' consolidates cultural subjectivity, and the creation of a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the most powerful manifestation of this cultural subjectivity." In advancing the "second combination", our party has always adopted an open and inclusive attitude to continuously promote the modernization of Marxism in China, inherit and develop Chinese excellent traditional culture, promote the localization of foreign culture, and maintain the righteousness and vigor of innovation. Continue the historical context, compose the contemporary chapter, and promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.
Consolidate cultural subjectivity in the second combination. The Chinese people and the Chinese nation have never had a textbook, let alone ready-made answers, to the bright prospect of great rejuvenation from the deep suffering of modern times. China's issues must start from its basic national conditions and be answered by the Chinese themselves. For over a hundred years, based on a profound understanding of China's basic national conditions, historical traditions, and cultural accumulation, our Party has continuously promoted the Party's guiding ideology to keep up with the times in the "two combinations" with a positive historical responsibility, cultural initiative, and conscious spirit, fully reflecting cultural subjectivity. Under the conditions of comprehensively grasping the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, the "second combination" effectively promotes the intrinsic connection and mutual integration of the basic principles of Marxism with the prominent characteristics of Chinese civilization, injecting vigorous vitality and endogenous power into promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
Adhere to integrity and innovation in the second combination.On the other hand, we should adhere to the innovation and development in inheriting the tradition, deeply tap the era value of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, constantly enrich the content and form of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, make it better adapt to the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, better coordinate with the promotion of Chinese path to modernization, practically achieve innovation in "combination" and "combination" in innovation, build a new atmosphere of Chinese culture in the process of conservation and innovation, and stimulate the new vitality of Chinese civilization.
Maintain openness and inclusiveness in the second combination. The Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness, which fundamentally determines the historical orientation of communication, exchange, and integration of the Chinese nation, and determines the open mindedness of Chinese culture in embracing world civilization. Chinese civilization has been known for its openness and inclusiveness since ancient times, constantly radiating new vitality through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations. In promoting the "second combination", we must consciously promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all mankind, promote harmonious coexistence and mutual learning among different countries, ethnic groups, and cultures, jointly eliminate cultural barriers in real life, jointly resist misconceptions that hinder human spiritual interaction, jointly break down spiritual barriers that hinder human communication, let people of all countries know each other, trust and respect each other, let civilizations of all countries exchange and dialogue, seek common ground while reserving differences, promote common values for all mankind, and enrich the world civilization garden.
