Firmly grasp the foundation and premise of theoretical innovation (special topic contemplation)
The vitality of theory lies in innovation.
Adhere to the soul of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for us to establish the Party and the country, and to have the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the fundamental basis for our Party to firmly believe in and grasp historical initiative. Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action that must develop with changes in practice. Since its establishment, our Party has put Marxism clearly on its banner, continuously promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and providing scientific theoretical guidance for the development of the Party and the people's cause in different historical periods. It is precisely by firmly adhering to the soul of Marxism, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities, and combining them with China's excellent traditional culture, continuously drawing wisdom and strength from scientific theories, that our Party has united and led the people through tenacious struggle, creating miracles that shine in the history of the development of the Chinese nation, world socialism, and human society. 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 lead the people to complete arduous tasks that other political forces in China cannot accomplish, fundamentally lies in mastering the scientific theory of Marxism and continuously promoting theoretical innovation in combination with new realities.
Adhere to the root of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the wisdom crystallization and essence of the Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to stand firm in the world culture turmoil. The excellent traditional Chinese culture has a long and profound history, which embodies the values of serving the public, the people as the foundation of the country, governing with virtue, renovating the old and renovating the new, 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 outlook in long-term production and life, and is highly compatible with the values of scientific socialism, providing rich historical and cultural soil for the theoretical innovation of the Party. People of the CPC are firm believers and practitioners of Marxism, as well as faithful inheritors and promoters of China's excellent traditional culture. Our Party has always adhered to the root of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, strengthened its historical confidence and cultural confidence, insisted on making the past serve the present and bringing forth the new, linked the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and integrated it with the common values that the people use everyday without being aware of, constantly endowed scientific theories with distinctive Chinese characteristics, constantly consolidated the historical basis and mass basis for the modernization of Marxism in China, and let the tree of Marxist truth rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese history and culture take root.
Deepen the integration of the two. In the context of the accelerated evolution and deep interaction of the "two major situations", facing a series of new major issues in various fields such as reform, development and stability, domestic and foreign affairs, national defense, and the governance of the party, country, and military, the task of promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism is not light, but heavier. At the new historical starting point, we must constantly write a new chapter of Marxism's localization in China and its modernization. We must adhere to the guidance of Marxism to comprehensively excavate the treasure house of China's 5000 year civilization, effectively connect the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of China's excellent traditional culture, and transform it into a new theoretical advantage. Only in this way can we break through the "debate between ancient and modern China and the West", and launch a batch of cultural achievements that fuse ancient and modern, and integrate China and the West.
