The rejuvenation of a nation requires strong material strength as well as strong spiritual strength.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken charge of the overall situation, placed ideological and cultural propaganda work in an important position, and guided the ideological and cultural propaganda work to achieve historic achievements and changes in the process of raising the flag and rectifying the source. Show a new look and embark on a new journey while keeping integrity, innovating, and pioneering.
Be far-sighted and oriented, pointing the way forward for the development of propaganda, ideological and cultural undertakings in the new era
At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, the national style is mighty and the cultural context is endless.
On June 1, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Central Headquarters of the National Library of China, located on the northern extension of the central axis of Beijing.
Entering the National Study Room, the General Secretary looked at the starry sky dome in the central caisson at the top. On the dome, the astronomical charts carved in stone from the Song Dynasty show the wisdom of the ancients, and the stars are brilliant, vast and profound; in the study, 15 groups of giant bookcases display nearly 30,000 volumes of New China’s high-quality publications, and the starry sky of ideas is magnificent.
Civilization is everlasting, and ideas keep pace with the times.
At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development held the next day, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly summarized a series of new ideas, new perspectives, and conclusions put forward in cultural construction since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and emphasized that these important perspectives are the basis for the cultural construction of party leadership in the new era. The theoretical summary of practical experience is the fundamental basis for doing a good job in publicity, ideological and cultural work, and must be implemented and continuously enriched and developed over a long period of time.
Ten years ago in August, the first national propaganda and ideological work conference was held after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech was profound:
“I have been thinking about a question… Whether we Chinese Communists can uphold the party’s leadership and uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the increasingly complex international and domestic environment. This question needs to be answered by generations of us Communists. Do. To do good ideological work and propaganda and ideological work, we must understand it in this general context.”
The sober and calm questioning is permeated with foresight and foresight in promoting ideological and cultural undertakings.
This is a major proposition under new historical coordinates: Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Faced with the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the major changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, how should we focus on, build our souls, and influence each other? Hold the flag high?
This is the call of the times to promote theoretical innovation: if a nation wants to be at the forefront of the times, it must have theoretical thinking and correct ideological guidance for a moment. If we want to continuously promote the Sinicization of Marxism and constantly climb to new ideological peaks, how should we summarize experience and grasp the rules?
This is a high degree of consciousness that continues the historical context: without a high degree of cultural confidence and without cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; without the prosperity and development of socialist culture, there will be no socialist modernization. To promote the construction of a socialist cultural power, how should we take the initiative and make another glorious chapter?
“Ideological work is an extremely important task for the party. It is a task that establishes the heart for the country and the soul for the nation.” General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out.
Keep abreast of the pulse of the times, work around the central task, highlight problem orientation, and publicize the ever-changing atmosphere in the ideological and cultural fields.
Get to the bottom of things and uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over propaganda, ideological and cultural work——
November 2013, Beijing, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.
At this important meeting that officially opened a new era and comprehensively deepened reforms, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s words on ideological work were inspiring:
“While concentrating on economic construction, we must not relax or weaken ideological work for a moment. We must firmly hold the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in our hands, and we must not let it go at any time, otherwise we will be guilty of incompetence. A reversible historic mistake.”
Ideology is related to flags, roads, and national political security.
With the rapid development of economy, science and technology and the profound adjustment of the social structure, erroneous ideological trends such as money worship, hedonism, extreme individualism and historical nihilism appear from time to time. Online public opinion is chaotic, seriously affecting people’s thinking and the social public opinion environment.
Focusing on solving the problem of weakening party leadership in the ideological field, General Secretary Xi Jinping made the final decision: “We must strengthen the party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological work, and clearly insist on the party’s management of propaganda and ideology.”
The National Propaganda and Ideological Work Conference was held twice, emphasizing that “to do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, the whole party must take action” and “build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership”; at the symposium on literature and art work, it was pointed out that “the leadership of the party is socialist “The fundamental guarantee for the development of literature and art”; at the party’s news and public opinion work symposium, it was emphasized that “the media sponsored by the party and the government are the propaganda fronts of the party and the government and must be surnamed party”; at the network security and informatization work symposium, it was requested that “the masses Our leading cadres must go wherever they are”; at the symposium on philosophy and social sciences it was pointed out that “strengthening and improving the party’s leadership over philosophy and social sciences is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of China’s philosophy and social sciences”; at The National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities emphasized “firmly grasping the party’s leadership over the work of colleges and universities”…
General Secretary Xi Jinping clarified his principled position on a series of fundamental issues, clarified the fog of understanding, and corrected the direction of work.
If the direction is clear, the thinking will be clear. Targeted measures have emerged one after another:
Establish and uphold the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the field of ideology; formulate implementation measures for the ideological work responsibility system and clarify the responsibilities of party committees (party groups) at all levels in the form of intra-party regulations; resolutely fight back against all kinds of distortion, vilification, blasphemy of heroes and martyrs, etc. To combat nihilism, we formulated and promulgated the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs; we vigorously rectified the online ecological chaos and established a three-level network information management system at the central, provincial and municipal levels; we formulated the first basic and backbone intra-party regulations on propaganda work, “China “Regulations on the Propaganda Work of the Communist Party” provides strong guidance and support for the whole party to carry out propaganda work with rigid laws and regulations…
The once passive situation in the ideological field has been fundamentally reversed, and the situation in the ideological field has undergone an overall and fundamental change.
Keeping integrity and creating new ideas, clearly put forward the important conclusion of “two combinations”——
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.
On July 1, 2021, a conference to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China was held in Tiananmen Square. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s words are sonorous: “Insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality and with China’s excellent traditional culture, use Marxism to observe the times, grasp the times, and lead the times, and continue to develop contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism. ism!”
This is the first time that the major assertion of “two combinations” has been formally put forward.
Since then, the “two combinations” have been written into the “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centenary Struggle” and the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
At the foot of Wuyi Mountain, Zhu Xiyuan stated that “we must organically combine adhering to Marxism with the promotion of China’s excellent traditional culture.” At Yinxu, he emphasized that “the fundamental way for us to promote the sinicization of Marxism with the times is ‘two combinations.'” In cultural inheritance At the development symposium, the significance of “two combinations” was profoundly explained and pointed out that “‘two combinations’ are the biggest magic weapon for our success”…
Continue to deepen the understanding of the regularity of the party’s theoretical innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s discussion of the “two combinations”, especially the “second combination”, shows that our party’s understanding of China’s path, theory, and system has reached a new height. , indicating that our party’s historical confidence and cultural self-confidence have 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 height.
Strengthen the foundation and cultivate the foundation, strengthen self-confidence from the continuous history and culture——
Sansu Temple, Meishan, Sichuan. Centennial ginkgo trees and thousand-year-old yellow kudzu trees are full of vitality.
On June 8, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to inspect the thousand-year-old ancient temple. He said with deep feeling: “A drop of water can see the sun, and a Sansu Temple can see the breadth and depth of our Chinese culture. We say we must be firm Cultural self-confidence, China has the ‘Three Sus’, this is an important example.”
Continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, peace – General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly summarized the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization and pointed out that “cultural confidence comes from our cultural subjectivity.”
In the mind of the General Secretary, cultural self-confidence is the most basic, profound and lasting force in the development of a country and a nation.
He went to the Dunhuang Academy to host a symposium and affirmed that “Dunhuang culture demonstrates the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation”; went to the Yangpu Riverside in Shanghai and stressed that “preserving the city’s historical and cultural memory allows people to remember history and nostalgia, strengthen cultural confidence, and enhance “Feelings of Home and Country”; cordially communicated with teachers and students at Yuelu Academy, encouraging “contemporary students must further strengthen their cultural confidence in the process of inheriting China’s excellent traditional culture”; came to Yungang Grottoes and pointed out that “let tourism become a way for people to understand Chinese culture” , the process of enhancing cultural confidence”…
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has placed cultural confidence at an unprecedented level, cultivated the spiritual strength of the entire nation, and concentrated on the great cause of rejuvenation.
The outline is drawn up and a blueprint path is drawn for the construction of a culturally powerful country——
Culture makes a country prosperous, and a strong culture makes a nation strong.
“Contemporary Chinese Communists and the Chinese people should and must be able to shoulder the new cultural mission, carry out cultural creation in practical creation, and achieve cultural progress in historical progress!”
In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the major proposition of “new cultural mission” for the first time.
Standing at the height of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the way forward for building a strong socialist cultural country:
Focusing on the new situation, new tasks and new requirements, it is clearly stated that propaganda and ideological work must consciously undertake the mission of “raising the flag, gathering people’s hearts, educating new people, developing culture, and displaying image”;
Cultivate a positive, healthy, and positive Internet culture, clarifying that “the Internet has become the main battlefield in the struggle for public opinion” and bluntly stating that “if you cannot pass the Internet, you will not be able to pass the long-term governance”;
Emphasizing on adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, the symposium was held again to guide the direction of Chinese literature and art after 72 years, pointing out that “there are a hundred or a thousand methods of literary and artistic creation, but the most fundamental, most critical and most reliable method It is to take root in the people and life”;

Attach great importance to accelerating the construction of Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, requiring “efforts to create new concepts, new categories and new expressions that integrate China and foreign countries, tell Chinese stories well, and spread Chinese voices well”;
