　　General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important speech at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and pointed out that he insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and combining China's excellent traditional culture.

The reference to the "second combination" immediately aroused external attention.

　　Marxism is the soul and banner of the Communist Party of China, and the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country.

Continuing to promote the Sinicization of Marxism is the only way for the CCP to recreate the future.

　　Observing the "two combinations" proposed by Xi Jinping in this regard, we can find that the former emphasizes the objective conditions of China's current practice, the latter emphasizes China's intellectual tradition; the former points to ontological issues, and the latter points to epistemology. problem.

　　What is culture?

Culture involves different levels of artifacts, systems, and ideas, and covers many fields such as literature, philosophy, politics, art, science, and religion. In short, it is the sum of material wealth and spiritual wealth created by mankind in the process of social and historical development.

The excellent Chinese traditional culture is the sum of material and spiritual wealth created by the Chinese nation in the past that must be passed down and passed on.

　　"The law does not stand alone, but lives on its own." The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the cultural soil for the Sinicization of Marxism.

"Exercise without any stamina, the origins come from." The excellent traditional Chinese culture is an important source of intellectual knowledge and spiritual support for the Sinicization of Marxism.

　　Looking back at a century of history, we can see that since Marxism was introduced into China, the Chinese Communists have consciously combined it with the excellent Chinese traditional culture.

　　For example, Mao Zedong combined the basic principles of Marxist philosophy with China's concrete revolutionary reality and practice and the simple epistemology and dialectics in Chinese traditional culture, and creatively wrote "On Practice" and "On Contradiction".

　　In another example, starting from Marxism, Deng Xiaoping creatively transformed the description of "Book of Rites·Rite Yun" and put forward the goal of "a well-off society", and drew on the wisdom of "Protecting Taihe and Lizhen" in "The Book of Changes · Qian". The great concept of "One Country, Two Systems".

　　Another example is the "Han Han·Hejian King Liu De Biography" "Practice the ancients, seek truth from facts" and provide intellectual resources for the party's ideological line; the ancient people's pursuit of wealth and poverty, and the pursuit of common benefits with the world are sublimated into the party's prosperous proposal ; The ancient wisdom of the unity of knowledge and action and behavior-based nourishment of the Party's epistemology of integrating theory with practice.

　　In the past ten years, the CCP has stepped up efforts to promote the integration of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture.

Xi Jinping pointed out that “the broad and profound Chinese excellent traditional culture is the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in the global cultural turmoil”, “abandoning tradition and throwing away the roots is equivalent to cutting off one’s spiritual lifeline” and “the traditional national culture should be treated scientifically”, It profoundly elaborated that the excellent traditional Chinese culture is a rich nourishment for the development of contemporary Marxism, and the inheritance and development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture is the need of practice in the new era.

　　Looking back on the party’s history, the Communist Party of China has made great achievements in leading revolution, construction, and reform: from the new democratic revolution to socialist construction, from taking a crucial step in reform and opening up, to declaring to the world that a well-off society will be built in an all-round way. The theme of practice combined with China's specific reality and Chinese excellent traditional culture has run through a century.

　　Zongming is righteous and rich, and the purpose is to show things.

There is no doubt that as the "combination with Chinese excellent traditional culture" is elevated to a new level of political theory, the CCP in the new era will enrich its internal logic of governance and strengthen the foundation of the consciousness of the Chinese nation community, including Hong Kong and Macao. The Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese, have a stronger consensus on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
