Guangming Forum

Authors: Xu Fengzhen, Hao Ruiqi

The process of theoretical innovation of the Party is based on the constantly changing historical background, forming a profound understanding of the essence of things, a principled display of the internal connections of things, a forward-looking foresight of the development trend of things, and a practical effect of changing reality, which is the process of Marxism's sinicization and modernization.

To carry out theoretical innovation while adhering to the spirit of Marxism.Adhering to this soul and root is the foundation and prerequisite for theoretical innovation. Adhering to the soul of Marxism means adhering to the basic principles of Marxism. The reason why Marxism can be chosen by the Chinese people is that the general laws of human society development and the special laws of capitalist operation revealed by Marxism are true and scientific, and that Marxism is the essence of human thought that transcends its birth age. Its value pursuit is highly consistent with the original mission of "working for the people's happiness and national rejuvenation", and it has become a powerful ideological weapon for the Party to grasp laws and innovate theories.

Adhering to the spirit of Marxism for theoretical innovation, we must regard Marxism as the foundation of building the Party and the country, and continuously promote the sinicization and modernization of Marxism at the level of innovation. Sinicization has enabled Marxism to take root in China, and modernization has made Marxism full of vitality. The process of sinicization and modernization of Marxism is a process of using Marxism to "transform" China and the times, and thus profoundly change China's future and destiny. It is also a process of using China and the times to "transform" Marxism, and thus enrich and develop Marxism.

To carry out theoretical innovation while adhering to the roots of excellent traditional Chinese culture. Culture is related to the rise and fall of a country, and it is a profound soil for cultivating theories and a source of ideas for nurturing theoretical innovation.

Adhering to the roots of excellent traditional Chinese culture for theoretical innovation is rooted in the development of Marxism in our own culture, guided by Marxism, to explore the excellent genes of traditional Chinese culture. The reason why Marxism can flourish on the fertile land of excellent traditional Chinese culture is that the two are highly compatible in terms of the cosmology of "harmony between heaven and man", the values of "putting the people first", and the political view of "governing with morality". The process of sinicization and modernization of Marxism is the process of using Marxism to "transform" excellent traditional Chinese culture, thereby activating its internal driving force for innovation and endowing it with new contemporary connotations. Adhering to the roots of excellent traditional Chinese culture is the premise of the Party's theoretical innovation and the foundation of cultural confidence.

Realize theoretical innovation in the vigorous historical process.The history of a party is a history of theoretical innovation. Since its establishment, the party has been guided by Marxism, exploring and innovating tirelessly, and forming a systematic and theoretical Marxism with Chinese characteristics and modernization."Learning and rationalization" is reflected in the application of Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods to reflect on the main contradictions in Chinese society at different times, answering questions such as how to achieve national independence and people's liberation, how to enter and build socialism, how to create socialism with Chinese characteristics, and how to adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, making the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation enter an irreversible historical process.

The theoretical innovation process of the Party fully demonstrates the openness and contemporaneity of Marxism, revealing not only the inherent logical relationship between "Marxist practice" and "Marxist practice with Chinese characteristics and modernization", but also the theoretical innovation theory that regards Marxism as a guide to action rather than a dogma.

Promote theoretical innovation in the practical needs of the new era. Theory is the voice of the times and the precursor of practice, while Marxism has both contemporaneity and practicality.

The worldview and methodology of "Six Adherences", as well as the main contents of "Ten Clarifications" and "Fourteen Adherences", are the main symbols of its systematization and theoretical transformation. The "Ten Clarifications" have a clear direction from a strategic perspective; The "Fourteen Adherences" clearly define how to proceed from the path and have practicality. The historic achievements and changes of the new era in the past decade fully reflect the degree to which the Party's innovative theory has been realized in contemporary China, as well as the degree to which the theory meets the development needs of the new era. On the new journey, the deep interaction between the "two major situations" has made the mission of the Party to oversee the "four great things" even more severe and complex. Only by adapting to the times and constantly proposing new ideas and judgments with global, targeted, and effective characteristics can contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism be revitalized with stronger truth power.

Practice is endless, and the Party's theoretical innovation is endless. Promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism through "two combinations" and showcasing "why it can be", "why it works", and "why it is good" through the sinicization and modernization of Marxism are the experiences and requirements of the Party's theoretical innovation. Only by adhering to the principle of putting the people first and problem oriented, continuously innovating systematic and theoretical scientific theories, can we provide more proactive spiritual strength for the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
