On June 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the forum on cultural inheritance and development in Beijing and delivered an important speech. In order to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, a special seminar on "two combinations", opening up a new realm of Sinicization of Marxism and learning and implementing Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era was held at East China normal University on June 3.
Continuing historical traditions and composing contemporary chapters
Professor Gu Hongliang, Vice President of East China Normal University and Dean of the College of Marxism, believes that the basic principles of Marxism should be combined with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and we should follow the path of integration and integration, effectively integrate the essence of Marxism with the essence of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and integrate with the common values of the people. We should make good use of the main carrier, protect historical and cultural heritage, and inherit rural civilization. To enhance the international dissemination and influence of Chinese civilization, further enhance international discourse power, continuously enhance the influence of the "second combination", and compose a contemporary new chapter of modern Chinese civilization.
Tian Keqin, Honorary Professor of the School of Marxism at Northeast Normal University, believes that the scientific summary in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for building the Party and the country, and promoting the Party and the country, has concentrated on revealing the important position and role of Marxism as the fundamental guiding ideology of the Party, reflecting the systematic sublimation of the Party's understanding of the historical status of its guiding ideology, and fully demonstrating the strong vitality, cohesion, and creativity of Marxism and its innovative achievements in sinicization and modernization. Marxism, with its sinicization and modernization, is consistent and unified as a whole, reflecting the theoretical characteristics of Marxism's unity of subjectivity and objectivity, theory and practice, truth and value, practicality and contemporaneity. It also embodies the political character of Marxist theory's unity of party spirit and grounding, people-oriented and national, local and international. To promote and realize the "second combination" is an inevitable requirement for adhering to and developing Marxism. The excellent traditional Chinese culture and the values of scientific socialism are highly compatible. To adhere to this combination, we must be confident in history and culture, and connect the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Professor Jie Chao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Lixin Institute of Accounting and Finance, believes that we should continue to adhere to the "two combinations" and continuously open up new horizons of scientific socialism.It has innovatively promoted the practical exploration of scientific socialism. The practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new stage and achieved a series of breakthrough achievements. The cause of the Party and the country has made historic achievements, undergone historic changes, and embarked on a new journey of Chinese path to modernization; It has demonstrated the vitality and vigor of scientific socialism, and further expanded its international influence in the unprecedented changes in the world in a century.
Professor Chen Weiping from the Philosophy Department of East China Normal University pointed out that the combination of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture is in fact the unity of two "continuing discussions". In the process of exploring the basic principles of Marxism and the excellent traditional culture of China, there are still many issues that need to be further explored: firstly, the continuity relationship between the basic principles of Marxism and the theoretical achievements we have formed today needs to be continuously traced and analyzed from specific perspectives and methods; Secondly, Chinese culture is vast and profound. On the one hand, excellent traditional culture needs to be continuously traced and analyzed from a theoretical perspective, and on the other hand, it needs to further find its positioning in the historical traditions formed since modern times and in the exchange and dialogue between Chinese and Western cultures.
Professor Chen Fangliu, Deputy Director of the Scientific Socialism Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, believes that the Marxist view of practice can be integrated with the traditional Chinese view of knowledge and action. To achieve integration in the "two combinations", we need to focus on three aspects: adhering to the unity of knowledge and action, and prioritizing action over words; Promoting action through knowledge, enhancing the agency of understanding, and achieving synergy between knowledge and action; Promoting knowledge through action and strengthening party spirit cultivation in practice. Through the integration of Marxist practice theory and traditional Chinese knowledge and action theory, the creative transformation and innovative development of the two can be achieved, endowing Marxist practice theory with a nationalized form.
Grasp rich connotations, promote creative transformation and innovative development
Professor Chen Xixi, a lecturer at the School of Marxism at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, believes that the proposal of the basic proposition of the Party's innovation theory is formed through the interaction between theory and practice. If they are regarded as basic categorical propositions, then the relationship between these two propositions intuitively reflects the theoretical consciousness of our Party in exploration. The sinicization and modernization of Marxism not only give it a national form, but also a national content. At the same time, this is also the CPC's conscious exploration process, in order to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, in combination with the Chinese excellent traditional culture, to consolidate the historical foundation and mass foundation. The innovative achievements of Marxism's sinicization and modernization have provided Chinese wisdom and solutions for human liberation.
Tian Pengying, Dean of the School of Marxism at Northeastern University and specially appointed professor of the "Changjiang Scholar" of the Ministry of Education, believes that the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture is of greater theoretical significance. The "second combination" solves the problem of allowing Marxism to take root and grow in China, thus "localizing China" and "localizing China". This is more fundamental and has more conditional or prerequisite significance than the "first combination"; The second combination laid the foundation for the popularization of Marxism, enabling it to be mastered, recognized, understood, and applied by the masses. Only then can it be transformed into a material force that can change the world; The "second combination" provides academic conditions for the opening up of the road of Chinese path to modernization, and reflects the progressiveness nature of the principle of scientific socialism; The second combination provides the source of Chinese wisdom to answer the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times.
This statement demonstrates the high confidence of our party in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and also emphasizes the importance of "fit" to "combination" from the perspective of values.
Chen Jinlong, the dean of the Marxism College of South China Normal University and the "Yangtze River Scholar" of the Ministry of Education, pointed out that the civilization concept of Chinese path to modernization is a civilization concept of coordinated development, people first, tradition and modernity in harmony, national and global unity, and peaceful development. The civilization view of Chinese path to modernization has five characteristics: the unity of historical materialism and dialectics, the unity of world commonness and national individuality, the unity of regularity and purpose, the unity of history, values and civilization, and the unity of rooted in history, based on reality and facing the future. The concept of civilization of Chinese path to modernization deepens the understanding of the development law of human civilization and the law of human modernization, which is of great significance to the construction of the image of the party, the country and the nation.
Qi Weiping, a lifelong professor at the School of Marxism at East China Normal University, pointed out that the proposal of "two combinations" reflects the deep evolution of Marxism's sinicization and modernization. The second combination is another ideological liberation, rising to a new height. The combination of the two has achieved a new leap in theoretical exploration in the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, showcasing the theoretical achievements of three leaps in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and forming a complementary organic whole.
Professor Wang Fang, Dean of the School of Marxism at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, analyzed the "second combination" from the relevant discourse in "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" and proposed that Comrade Mao Zedong has pointed out the direction for the combination of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture. She emphasized that the tremendous role played by Marxism in China is based on the modern Chinese people's need and thirst for advanced theories. It is in this sense that Mao Zedong Thought provides an important foundation for us to continue promoting the "second combination".
Focus on identifying the key points of cohesion and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation
Jiang Youfu, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the fundamental focus of combining the basic principles of Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture is twofold: theory and practice.In practice, our party should unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country, comprehensively build a socialist modernized strong country, achieve the second centenary goal, overcome the many problems brought about by Western modernization in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and create a new form of human civilization.
Zhang Yunyi, a distinguished professor at Shanghai Normal University, believes that the "first combination" contains some ideological elements and particles of the "second combination". The "second combination" embodies the new development and breakthrough of Marxism's sinicization and modernization. Specifically, it is a breakthrough in the field of discourse. The "second combination" is another leap for the CPC to realize the construction of Sinicized Marxist theoretical system based on the historical characteristics of the new era, based on the complex conditions at home and abroad, in the great change not seen in a century, and is another logical starting point for the theoretical innovation of the new era. The second combination enriches and develops the Marxist theoretical system from an ideological perspective, giving it a Chinese style and atmosphere, thus presenting a distinct symbol of the subjectivity of Chinese culture.
Professor Chen Hongjuan from the School of Marxism at East China Normal University analyzed the compatibility between Chinese excellent traditional culture and the values of scientific socialism from the early dissemination of Marxism in China. This compatibility is first reflected in the choice of social value goals, where the ideals of a harmonious society and communism embody the pursuit of the ultimate good in the ultimate form of social development; Secondly, there is a fit between the values of fairness and justice advocated by Marxism and the principle of serving the public under heaven; Finally, in the pursuit of individual value, the ideal personality advocated by Confucianism is integrated with the personality characteristics of Marxism, which embodies personal commitment. The integration of social value and individual value promoted the early dissemination and acceptance of Marxism in China. At the same time, in this process, advanced Chinese intellectuals consciously strive to improve the compatibility between Chinese excellent traditional culture and the values of scientific socialism through theoretical and practical exploration, opening up a transition from a free fit to a conscious fit between the two.
