Deeply Understanding the Significance of "Two Combinations" Marxism | China | Significant Significance
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the "root" of our party's innovative theory, and the "two combinations" are the fundamental way to promote the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
Marxism has profoundly changed China, and China has also greatly enriched Marxism. The reason why our Party is able to lead the people to complete arduous tasks that other political forces in China cannot accomplish through repeated explorations, setbacks, and explorations is fundamentally because we insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities, and with China's outstanding traditional culture, continuously promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.History and practice have fully demonstrated that opening up and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics on the profound foundation of over 5000 years of Chinese civilization, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities, and combining with China's excellent traditional culture, is a necessary path.
Although Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture have different origins, the values embodied in excellent traditional Chinese culture, such as serving the people, putting the people at the foundation of the country, governing with virtue, reforming the old and innovating, appointing people based on merit, harmony between heaven and humanity, self-improvement, carrying virtue, promoting trustworthiness and harmony, and being kind to neighbors, are highly consistent with the values of scientific socialism. Mutual compatibility is the key to organic integration. It is important to deeply understand that the result of "combination" is mutual achievement. "Combination" is not a platter, not a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction, which has created an organically unified new cultural life body, making Marxism become Chinese, Chinese excellent traditional culture become modern, and the new culture formed through "combination" become a cultural form of Chinese path to modernization. It is important to deeply recognize that "integration" has solidified the foundation of the road. Only by standing on the magnificent 5000 year history of Chinese civilization can we truly understand the historical inevitability, cultural connotations, and unique advantages of China's path. The combination has given the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics a broader and more profound historical depth, and expanded the cultural foundation of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Chinese path to modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength, and Chinese civilization endows Chinese path to modernization with profound connotation. It is important to deeply recognize that "integration" opens up space for innovation. "Integration" itself is innovation, and at the same time, it opens up a vast space for theoretical and practical innovation, allowing us to grasp the initiative of thinking and culture, and effectively play a role in the path, theory, and system. More importantly, 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. It should be deeply recognized that "integration" consolidates cultural subjectivity. The Chinese chapter of Marxism is practiced by the CPC people relying on their own strength. History and practice have taught us that only by rooting in the fertile soil of our own country and ethnic history and culture can the tree of Marxist truth take root and flourish.
It is the solemn historical responsibility of the contemporary CPC people to constantly write a new chapter of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.Practice has fully proven that the "second combination" is a profound summary of our party's historical experience in the localization and modernization of Marxism in China, a profound grasp of the development laws of Chinese civilization, and a new height of our party's understanding of the Chinese path, theory, and system. It indicates that our party's historical and cultural confidence has reached a new height, and our party's consciousness in promoting cultural innovation in inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture has reached a new height.
Contemporary China is undergoing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history, with unprecedented tasks of reform, development, and stability, numerous contradictions, risks, and challenges, as well as unprecedented challenges in governance. The profound changes in the world, unprecedented in a century, have put forward a large number of theoretical and practical issues that urgently need to be answered. We must better unify the adherence to Marxism and the development of Marxism, adhere to using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot at the "new era of China", continue to promote the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities, and integrate with China's excellent traditional culture, so that Marxism presents more Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, continues to write a new chapter of Marxism's sinicization and modernization, and demonstrates a stronger and more convincing truth force on the land of China.
