1. Solidify the heart and forge the soul with political identity

To enhance political recognition of the Party's innovative theory, we must first identify with Marxism. Marxism profoundly reveals the laws of human social development and scientifically answers where human society is heading. The widespread spread of Marxism in China has given birth to the CPC. Marxism has enabled our party to have a scientific world outlook and methodology, as well as a powerful ideological weapon to understand and transform the world. Marxism has profoundly changed the fate of the CPC, China and the Chinese nation. It is under the guidance of Marxism that the Chinese revolution, construction and reform have the correct political direction and scientific method, the CPC has a distinctive political soul and ideological banner, and the Chinese people have a strong spiritual guidance and backbone. To identify with Marxism, we must learn and make good use of Marxism, and we must learn and make good use of the Party's innovative theory.

To enhance political recognition of the Party's innovative theory, it is necessary to take learning and making good use of the Party's innovative theory as the cornerstone of firm ideals and beliefs. Beliefs and beliefs are not castles in the air, and firm thoughts should not be merely verbal statements, but should be built on a profound theoretical foundation. Only by mastering and utilizing Marxism, especially Marxism with Chinese characteristics and modernization, can we accurately understand the worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, deeply understand the logic of socialism replacing capitalism, and firmly believe in communism; A profound understanding of the realization of communism is a historical process of gradually achieving stage after stage goals. Only by effectively unifying the lofty ideal of communism with the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, with the great cause we are promoting, and with what we are doing, can we strengthen our faith in socialism with Chinese characteristics and our confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Dream.

To enhance political recognition of the Party's innovative theory, it is necessary to take learning and utilizing the Party's innovative theory as an important way to enhance the political ability of Party members and cadres. Having a clear political stance is not only a distinctive feature of Marxist political parties, but also a consistent style of our party. Therefore, improving political ability is a basic requirement for party members and cadres. Unable to achieve recognition, confused in thought, unable to remain politically clear, and unable to be conscious in action. History and practice have proven that improving political ability requires constantly improving theoretical literacy, enduring ideological refinement and spiritual baptism. It is necessary to deeply understand and implement the innovative theory of the Party through learning, consciously think about problems from a political and strategic perspective, analyze and solve conflicts in the overall situation, and continuously improve political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution.

To enhance the political recognition of the Party's innovative theory, we must take learning and making good use of the Party's innovative theory as the key to maintain the purity of the progressiveness nature of the Party and enhance its cohesion and combat effectiveness. For over a hundred years, our party has continuously promoted the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, armed party members with innovative theories, educated the masses, guided party members and cadres to remember the nature and purpose of the party, always practice the original aspiration and mission of the party, raised the political consciousness of party members, and awakened the consciousness of the people to follow the party. At the same time, through theoretical education, anti-corruption, and promoting integrity, the Party's self revolution has been continuously promoted, and the problems of impure thinking, organization, and work style within the Party have been solved. The Party's ability to self purify, self improve, self innovate, and self improve has significantly enhanced, constantly unifying its thinking, consolidating its strength, and providing a solid political guarantee for maintaining the political identity of Communist Party members.

2. Identify with ideology and clarify the essence

Only by agreeing with the innovative theory of the Party in ideology can we raise the flag and set our direction. The flag determines the direction, and the flag is related to the image. What flag to raise and what path to take are fundamental issues of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and they are also the first questions that Communist Party members must clarify. Having a correct grasp of the "greatness of the country" and a scientific judgment of the major right and wrong, as well as principles, is based on a correct understanding of historical laws, an accurate grasp of basic national conditions, and ultimately, on a conscious learning, comprehension, and implementation of the Party's innovative theory. The innovation theory of the Party contains the thought and strategy of the Party's governance of the country, and runs through the basic requirements of the CPC people's political character, value pursuit, spiritual realm, style and ethics. By continuously deepening theoretical learning, one can comprehensively understand and grasp various complex contradictions and problems, keenly identify various erroneous viewpoints and trends, scientifically formulate various policies and measures, adhere to the correct political direction in various complex situations, maintain political determination, and thus win advantages, initiative, and future.

Only by agreeing with the innovative theory of the Party in terms of ideology can we rectify the root cause. Marxism is the theoretical source of the original aspiration and mission of Communist Party members, and the scientific basis for the nature, purpose, and goals of the Party. The level of mastery of Marxism and the innovative theory of the Party determines the height of the ideological realm of Party members and cadres, as well as the degree of development of the Party and the country's cause. Only by continuously improving the ideological consciousness and theoretical level of Marxism can we firmly adhere to the spiritual home of communists, always maintain a clear understanding and persistent pursuit of lofty ideals and goals, consciously resist various erroneous ideological trends, overcome various difficulties and obstacles, and spare no effort to do all work well and promote the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Only by agreeing with the Party's innovative theory in ideology can we uphold integrity and innovation. Being upright means adhering to the truth and the right path. Only by being upright can we not lose our direction and avoid making subversive mistakes; Innovation is the courage to explore and the ability to create. Only through innovation can we grasp and lead the times. Treating Marxism with a scientific attitude and continuously adhering to and developing Marxism is an inherent requirement of Marxist theory. To identify with the Party's innovative theory, we must approach science with a scientific attitude, pursue truth with the spirit of truth, adhere to the basic principles of Marxism without wavering, and uphold the Party's faith and belief without wavering; We must dare to say new things that our predecessors have not said, dare to do things that our predecessors have not done before, guide new practices with new theories, and continuously promote theoretical and practical innovation.

3. Enhancing theoretical confidence through theoretical identification

The theoretical recognition of the Party's innovative theory is the recognition of the truth of Marxism. Marxism, as a scientific theory, adheres to the scientific worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, reveals the general laws of human social development, and points out the path for humanity to leap from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom; As a practical theory, it not only "explains the world" but also strives to "change the world"; As a theory of human liberation, it pursues the values and ideals of "proletarian liberation" and "world liberation", realizing the comprehensive development of human freedom, and has a distinct people's stance and global sentiment; As a constantly evolving theory, it not only leads the development of the times but also constantly enriches and develops itself in response to the problems raised by the changes of the times. These characteristics of truth have always held the high ground of truth and morality since their inception, and have always been a powerful ideological weapon for us to understand and transform the world, as well as a scientific guide to lead humanity forward.

The theoretical recognition of the Party's innovative theory is the recognition that the Party's innovative theory is Marxism with Chinese characteristics and modernization. Our party has vividly written Marxism on its banner since its inception. In long-term practice, our party has promoted the sinicization and modernization of Marxism through "two combinations", established Mao Zedong Thought, and achieved the first historic leap in the sinicization of Marxism; We have formed a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieved a new leap in the localization of Marxism in China;

The theoretical recognition of the Party's innovative theory is the recognition that the Party's innovative theory has infinite truth charm and enormous practical power. In the process of promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, the Party's innovative theory continuously deepens its understanding of the "three major laws", constantly leads and guarantees the vigorous development of the Party and the state, fully demonstrating the truth, scientificity, revolutionary and practical nature of the Party's innovative theory.On the road of progress, we shoulder a more glorious mission and also face more severe challenges. We must adhere to and develop the Party's innovative theory with more conscious theoretical confidence, continuously promote the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and hand over new and more outstanding answers to history and the people.

4. Explore innovation through emotional identification

The emotional identification with the Party's innovative theory is reflected in sincere support and admiration for the creators of the Party's innovative theory. The leadership core of the Party concentrates the wisdom of the entire Party and establishes the Party's innovative theory. The leadership core of the Party is the soul and the backbone. Practice has fully proven that Marxist political parties have outstanding leaders at the helm, scientific theoretical guidance, and can only unite like steel, and continuously achieve victory in overcoming difficulties.

The emotional identification with the Party's innovative theory is reflected in the heartfelt affirmation and love for the Party's innovative theory. Only by deeply loving the innovative theory of the Party from the bottom of our hearts can we fully absorb and internalize it in our hearts, externalize it in our actions, and actively absorb the spiritual nutrients from the innovative theory, achieving a natural transition from "true faith" to "true learning" and "true application". Party members and cadres should maintain a clear consciousness that "seeking the growth of wood must solidify its foundation", take the Party's innovative theory as their soul, consciously learn and grasp its historical logic, theoretical origins, practical foundation, and formation context, comprehensively and systematically grasp its basic views, scientific system, essence, and practical requirements, and consciously learn and apply the standpoint, viewpoint, and method that run through it.

The emotional identification with the Party's innovative theory is reflected in transforming it into conscious practice of exploring and innovating. We must effectively promote work through learning. By conducting thematic education, we aim to educate and guide Party members and cadres to learn their thoughts and take action, establish a correct view of power, political achievements, and career, enhance their sense of responsibility and mission, continuously improve their ability to promote high-quality development, serve the people, prevent and resolve risks, strengthen the cultivation of fighting spirit and fighting skills, and boost their spirit of striving for progress and taking on responsibilities. Secondly, we need to focus on the center and serve the overall situation. Closely combining with the needs of work responsibilities, we will combine the implementation of theme education with the implementation of various decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and promote the central work of local departments and units. We will transform the enthusiasm for learning and work stimulated by theme education into a strong driving force for overcoming difficulties and starting businesses. We need to achieve tangible results. Consolidate efforts to promote development, relentlessly implement, focus on problems, and move forward with a sense of responsibility that is always reassuring and proactive. With the spirit and spirit of taking on responsibilities, we will fulfill our duties and fulfill our responsibilities for the Party and the people, and continuously create new prospects for the development of our cause with a new atmosphere and new achievements.
