Original title: Opening up a new realm of adapting Marxism to China and the times
General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on “two combinations” profoundly clarified the laws of theoretical innovation of the Communist Party of China, opened up a new realm of adapting Marxism to the times, and is the original theory of Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. On the new journey, we must deeply understand the interconnectedness and dialectical unity between the “two combinations”, and continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, and continuously open up an era of sinicization of Marxism. Transforming into a new realm has important and far-reaching significance.
“First Combination” is essentially guided by Marxism and using its scientific worldview and methodology to solve China’s problems. The proposition of “Marxism in China” as the guiding principle of the Communist Party of China was first formally proposed by Mao Zedong at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1938, which “determined China’s destiny”. When the idea of ”Marxism in China” was first proposed, it not only included the basic viewpoint of combining theory and practice, but also included thinking about how to treat cultural traditions and how to establish a new culture. In this sense, the germination of the idea of ”two combinations” is already contained in it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The Chinese Communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the main representative, have insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality and with China’s excellent traditional culture, and have profoundly summarized and Making full use of the historical experience since the founding of the party and starting from the new reality, we created Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which fully reflects the continuous sublimation of practical innovation and the continuous leap of theoretical innovation of the Communist Party of China. It is in this sense that the “two combinations” are the inheritance, development and innovation of the theoretical and practical achievements of the Chinese Communist Party in various periods of revolution, construction, reform and other contemporary Marxism.
The “second combination” is essentially to be rooted in the fertile historical and cultural soil of the country and the nation and achieve integration with China’s excellent traditional culture. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has been an active leader and practitioner of China’s advanced culture, as well as a loyal inheritor and promoter of China’s excellent traditional culture. In the new era, our party’s understanding of the intrinsic relationship between Marxism and China’s excellent traditional culture continues to deepen, activates China’s excellent traditional culture with the power of Marxist truth, nourishes, enriches and develops Marxism with excellent traditional culture, Xi Jinping’s socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era Thought is not only a shining example of the Sinicization of Marxism, but also the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made the important conclusion that “China’s excellent traditional culture is highly consistent with the scientific socialist value proposition”, which profoundly revealed that Marxism and China’s excellent traditional culture, which are in different eras and different cultures, can combine and advance together. The underlying reasons for jointly promoting the development and progress of Chinese society show that Chinese Communists in the new era have reached a new height in their understanding of the intrinsic relationship between Marxism and China’s excellent traditional culture. At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development in June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping further elaborated on the important elements of China’s excellent traditional culture and the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization that they jointly shape, further clarifying the premise of the “second combination” They are in harmony with each other, and the result is mutual achievement, laying a solid foundation for Chinese modernization, opening up space for innovation, and consolidating cultural subjectivity. Therefore, the “second combination” is our party’s profound summary of the historical experience of adapting Marxism to the times and its profound grasp of the law of development of Chinese civilization. It vividly demonstrates the latest achievements of our party’s theoretical innovation and further opens up China’s There is a vast space for theoretical innovation of the Communist Party.
“The second combination” is “another ideological liberation.” The “two combinations” actually have their own emphasis and direction, but they support each other and advance together. Proposing the “second combination” separately among the “two combinations” provides a historical dimension, cultural meme and spiritual foundation for the modernization of Marxism in China, and can highlight its importance and foundation. The “two combinations” are the regular understanding we have gained in exploring the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. They are the greatest magic weapon for our success, and the “second combination” is another ideological emancipation. Every major theoretical innovation of the Communist Party of China is the crystallization of the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts; the reason why the party can lead the people to accomplish things that are impossible for other political forces in China through repeated explorations, setbacks, and explorations The arduous task lies in persisting in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, and seeking truth and pragmatism. Therefore, every ideological emancipation is a new theoretical achievement and new practical experience achieved through the upright innovation of theory and the advancement of the times in practice. In summary, Mao Zedong Thought has achieved the first leap in the Sinicization of Marxism, and the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era have achieved two new leaps in the Sinicization of Marxism. It can be said that the leap in adapting Marxism to the times is not only a great achievement of the “two combinations”, but also the result of the gradual deepening and prominence of the “two combinations”. Interpreting the great significance of the “second combination” from the perspective of ideological emancipation shows that our party’s understanding of China’s path, theory, and system has reached a new height, and that our party’s consciousness of promoting cultural innovation while inheriting China’s excellent traditional culture has reached a new level. The understanding of the compatibility between Marxism and China’s excellent traditional culture has reached a new height.
We must correctly grasp the tasks of the times and the realistic path to promote the “two combinations”. Under the new historical conditions, to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality, we must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, seeking truth and being pragmatic, proceeding from reality, and focusing on solving the problems of reform and opening up and socialist modernization in the new era. Practical issues of construction constantly answer questions about China, the world, the people, and the times. Under the new historical conditions, to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China’s excellent traditional culture, we must carry forward the core concepts, traditional virtues and humanistic spirit contained in China’s excellent traditional culture, and make them highly consistent with the scientific socialist values. The ideological connotation and cultural essence of sex should be creatively transformed and innovatively developed, and the essence of Marxist thought should be integrated with the essence of China’s excellent traditional culture and the common values that the people use daily without realizing it, and constantly give scientific theories a distinctive With Chinese characteristics, we will continue to consolidate the historical foundation and mass foundation for the modernization of Marxism in China.
We must constantly open up a new realm of adapting Marxism to the times and advancing the new development of Marxism in contemporary China and Marxism in the 21st century. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for us to build the party and the country, and to rejuvenate the party and the country. Having the guidance of the scientific theory of Marxism is the foundation for our party to strengthen its beliefs and seize the historical initiative. Why the Communist Party of China is able and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good? In the final analysis, it is the practice of Marxism and the practice of Marxism adapted to China’s times. In accordance with new changes in the domestic and international situation and new requirements in practice, we must face directly a series of major theoretical and practical issues in the development of the party and the country’s undertakings in the new era, and deepen our understanding of the laws governing the Communist Party, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of the development of human society from a new perspective. , what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics should be upheld and developed in the new era, how to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, what kind of modern and powerful socialist country should be built, how to build a powerful modern socialist country, and what kind of long-term Marxist party should be built We must carry out in-depth thinking and scientific judgment on major contemporary issues such as how to build a long-term Marxist political party and how to build a long-term ruling Marxist party, and continue to write a new chapter of adapting Marxism to the times.
