Hot interpretation|At this blockbuster symposium, Xi Jinping especially elaborated on the "second combination"

There is our spiritual gene in tradition, and there is national ambition in culture.

On June 6, a high-level symposium - Cultural Heritage and Development Symposium was held in Beijing. This is the first time since the 2th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that General Secretary Xi Jinping has held a symposium on the theme of "cultural inheritance and development".

At this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about the "two combinations", emphasizing that this is the understanding of the regularity we have drawn in exploring the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the greatest magic weapon for our success.

The general secretary especially elaborated on the "second combination", saying that it is another ideological emancipation, so that we can make full use of the precious resources of China's excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.

"If we do not understand China from the perspective of its long historical continuity, it is impossible to understand ancient China, nor modern China, let alone future China." The general secretary emphasized at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development.

Knowing the future, thinking about the past and looking forward to the future, what has been precipitated in the more than 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization is the majestic force towards the future.

Looking back, on July 2021, 7, at the celebration of the 1th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward for the first time the important thesis of "persistently integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and with China's excellent traditional culture", and further elaborated the practical significance and basic connotation of the "two combinations" in the Sixth Plenary Session of the 100th CPC Central Committee and the report of the <>th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

The great "second combination" of "combining the basic tenets of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture" is another major innovation in the theory of the Communist Party of China by General Secretary Xi Jinping based on the reality of contemporary China and the world today, which greatly expands the rich connotation of the Sinicization of Marxism and demonstrates our party's high cultural consciousness and firm cultural self-confidence.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has gradually deepened its understanding of "combining the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture".

On November 2013, 11, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a call to vigorously promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture during his inspection tour in Qufu, Shandong. He pointed out that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation needs to be conditioned by the development and prosperity of Chinese culture.

On May 2016, 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the Symposium on Philosophy and Social Science Work is still impressive: "We follow our own path, we have an incomparably broad stage, an incomparably profound historical heritage, and an incomparably strong determination to move forward, and the Chinese people should have this confidence, and every Chinese should have this confidence." ”

In January 2017, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on the Implementation of the Project for the Inheritance and Development of China's Excellent Traditional Culture, which set out specific requirements on how to implement the project for the inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture, with special emphasis on "basing on consolidating the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field" and profoundly stating that "China's excellent traditional culture is a rich nourishment for the development of contemporary Chinese Marxism".

On October 2017, 10, in the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping further clarified the main promoter of the "two combinations", "Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has not only been an active leader and practitioner of China's advanced culture, but also a faithful inheritor and promoter of China's excellent traditional culture", pointing out that "developing socialist culture with Chinese characteristics means taking Marxism as the guide and adhering to the position of Chinese culture".

Since then, from advocating the "two combinations" at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, to the Sixth Plenary Session of the <>th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clarifying that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era "is the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, and has achieved a new leap in the Sinicization of Marxism", to the specific content of the "second combination" in more detail in the report of the <>th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, to the convening of this symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the general secretary used "five outstanding characteristics" to "accurately paint" Chinese civilization. The depth and breadth of the "second combination" is emphasized... To build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, the goal is becoming clearer and clearer, more and more three-dimensional and full.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has always viewed excellent traditional culture from the depth of the spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, inherited excellent traditional culture from the height of national strategic resources, and innovated and developed excellent traditional culture from the perspective of promoting the modernization process of the Chinese nation, making it a fundamental force for realizing the "two centenary goals" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

With the strong impetus of the Communist Party of China, the theoretical main vein of Marxism and the spiritual bloodline of the Chinese nation are intrinsically connected, the profound heritage of historical China and the brand-new atmosphere of real China are integrated with each other, and the force of Marxist truth has activated the strong vitality of Chinese civilization.

"He who seeks the elders of wood will be firm in its roots; Whoever desires to flow far will drown its source."

In the view of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Marxist ideology and theory are "broad and profound, constantly learning and always new", and are "the essence of the entire human spirit"; The excellent traditional Chinese culture has a long history, is broad and profound, and is "the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization".

With a high degree of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, General Secretary Xi Jinping is well aware of the profound connotation and heritage of China's excellent traditional culture, and also attaches great importance to the innovation and development of China's excellent traditional culture.

In Yuelu Academy, the general secretary gazed at the plaque "seeking truth from facts" and pointed out that "we must localize the truth";

In the Sansu Temple, the general secretary emphasized that "we must be good at absorbing the concepts and thinking of governing the country from the excellent traditional Chinese culture";

▲On October 2022, 10, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the Yinxu Museum in Anyang City, Henan Province.

At the Yinxu site, the general secretary reiterated that "the excellent traditional Chinese culture is the 'root' of our party's innovation theory";

At the Yuncheng Museum, the general secretary called for "in-depth implementation of the Chinese civilization source exploration project";

In the Central Headquarters of the National Version Pavilion of China, the general secretary instructed to "continue to pass on the only uninterrupted civilization in the world";

............

General Secretary Xi Jinping has practiced again and again, demonstrating his profound thinking on Chinese culture and pinning his ardent expectations on "creating a new culture belonging to our time" and "building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation".

"Only by planting the fertile soil of the history and culture of the country and nation can the tree of Marxist truth take root and flourish." Constantly writing a new chapter in the Sinicization of Marxism is the solemn historical responsibility of contemporary Chinese communists. The beacon of excellent traditional culture is illuminating the journey of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
