general secretary xi jinping pointed out at the party history learning and education mobilization conference: "the history of our party is a history of constantly promoting the sinicization of marxism, is a history of constantly promoting theoretical innovation and theoretical creation." the courage to carry out theoretical innovation and constantly promote the sinicization of marxism are the ideological source of the cpc's century-old youth.
theoretical innovation originates from the party's original aspiration and theoretical consciousness
the theoretical innovation of the communist party of china originates from a high degree of theoretical consciousness, which in turn originates from the adherence to the party's original aspiration and mission. the original aspiration and mission of chinese communists is to seek happiness for the chinese people and rejuvenation for the chinese nation. this is the internal driving force for advanced chinese elements to voluntarily accept the guidance of marxism and establish the cpc after repeated comparisons. after the opium war, china was gradually reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the chinese nation was plunged into a dark situation of internal troubles and foreign invasion. striving for national independence and people's liberation, and realizing national prosperity and people's happiness have become two important historical tasks to be accomplished in modern china. in order to save the nation, countless people with lofty ideals groped forward in the dark, explored various solutions to save the country, tried various doctrines, but all proved to be unworkable. with the sound of the october revolution, marxism-leninism was introduced to china. this great theory, with its advanced nature, scientific nature and revolutionary nature, led the advanced elements of china to open a new course. practice has proved that it is absolutely right for history and the people to choose marxism and for the communist party of china to take marxism as its guiding ideology.
the purpose of theoretical innovation is to solve china's specific problems and promote the sinicization of marxism
when the communist party of china established marxism as its guiding ideology, it did not treat it as a theory in the study from the very beginning, but as a tool to observe and change the future and destiny of the country. our party's leadership of the people in revolution, development and reform has always been aimed at solving china's current problems. this has been a distinctive feature and an advantage of the party since its inception. in practice, chinese communists have come to realize that china's national conditions mean that neither revolution nor construction can be completely copied from the "original" marxist philosophy, nor can foreign experience be mechanically copied. china's specific problems must be solved in the light of china's actual conditions. in this regard, our party has carried on the active exploration, also has had the profound lesson. history has proved that the chinese revolution could not have won without the guidance of marxism. a dogmatic approach to marxism will also lead the revolution astray.
it is in the process of summing up the experience and lessons of the chinese revolution that the chinese communists deepen their understanding of theoretical innovation. comrade mao zedong stressed, "the universal truth of marxism must be fully and properly unified with the specific practice of the chinese revolution, that is, it must be combined with the characteristics of the nation and be useful only after a certain national form, and it must never be applied subjectively." he solemnly proposed to the whole party: "to make marxism concrete in china and to make it embody chinese characteristics in every manifestation, that is to say, to apply it according to chinese characteristics, has become an urgent problem for the whole party to understand and urgently solve." this important treatise opens up the correct direction of the sinicization of marxism and has important methodological significance in the theoretical innovation of the communist party of china. follow the principle of such thoughts, the communist party of china in the great process of leading chinese revolution, construction and reform, always around the social principal contradiction, around solve the specific problem in china, adhere to the basic principle of marxism with chinese concrete practice and the times characteristic, the combination of unity, the school adhere to emancipate the mind and seeking truth from facts thrift and keep unity is innovation, it has constantly opened up new horizons of marxism, provided scientific theoretical guidance for the development of the cause of the party and the people, and led the people in creating and transforming the world.
the key to theoretical innovation is to insist on the unity of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts
the objective reality of china's social development calls for the guidance of scientific theory. how to realize theoretical innovation has become an important breakthrough to solve the development problem. in practice, the revolution, development and reform under the leadership of the communist party of china is an unprecedented undertaking. there is no ready-made theory to refer to, and we can only explore through practice. this requires us to firmly grasp the basic principles of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts in the process of promoting theoretical innovation.
seeking truth from facts is comrade mao zedong's high summary of the marxist world outlook and methodology, he stressed: "people's thinking must adapt to the changed situation." "we must make our thoughts conform to the laws of the objective world. if they do not, we will fail in practice." comrade deng xiaoping pointed out, "to emancipate the mind means to reconcile thought with reality, subjective with objective, and seek truth from facts." general secretary xi jinping has stressed, "seeking truth from facts means that we should study and solve problems in the light of reality, combine theory with practice to formulate and formulate the correct line, principles and policies to guide practice and development, and test and develop truth in practice." practice has proved that only by emancipating the mind can we truly seek truth from facts; only by seeking truth from facts can we truly emancipate our minds. without marxism as a guide to break the influence of habit and subjective prejudice, seeking truth from facts can only be empty talk; if we do not get regular knowledge from the complicated and complicated appearance of the objective world, we will lose our direction when emancipating our minds.
seeking truth from facts is endless, so is emancipating the mind. the unification of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts is a long-term process. as general secretary xi jinping has pointed out, "seeking truth from facts is not once and for all. seeking truth from facts at one place at one time does not mean seeking truth from facts at another place at another time". we must focus on the practical problems in china's reform, opening up and modernization drive and on what we are doing. we must focus on the application of marxist theory, theoretical thinking on practical problems, and new practices and developments, so as to open up new frontiers in adapting marxism to chinese conditions.
theoretical innovation lays a solid ideological foundation for theoretical party strength and theoretical confidence
as a major party for a century, the cpc attaches great importance to ideological building and theoretical strength, and has always guided the development of the party and the country through ideological building. because through theoretical innovation attributed to further enhance the party's theory, with the needs of the country and people, closely fit the trend of times development, and theory can better release the solidarity and overcome difficult spirit, this is our party to lead the masses of the people to create the unity of rare rapid economic development and social long-term stability of the miracle thought weapon, is also the theory of strong party, theory of the ideological reason of confidence.
whether a political party is strong and has confidence in its own theories is not only a theoretical issue, but also a practical issue under the guidance of theories. it should be judged in the practice of planning major strategies, formulating major policies, promoting major projects and leading major development, and examined in the long course of history. the century-old history of the cpc fully demonstrates that theoretical innovation is closely linked to the development of the party and the country as well as the future and destiny of the chinese people and nation. is guided in the sinicization of marxism, the party's face, the face of national and people's taken on a new look, to fully demonstrate the advantages of the socialist system, is the chinese nation stand tall in the east, with a new gesture of scientific socialism in the 21st century china, coruscate gives powerful vitality into the modern way to get rich and developing countries. this is the great contribution that the grand party has made in history over the past 100 years. it is also where the confidence and self-reliance of the grand party lies.
at present, the world is undergoing great change from the one hundred, our country is in a critical period to realize the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation, standing on the "two" in one hundred, on the intersection of looking back to past fendou road, overlooking the endeavour in front of the road, we must be more firmly adhere to the ideological construction, the theory of strong party, stick to the marxist scientific theory of armed mind, new era of socialism with chinese characteristics to study and implement xi thought as the pinnacle of thought armed, with studying the basic principle of marxism study, with the study history of the party, the new chinese history, the history of reform and opening up, the socialist history, with the new era of great struggle, the great project of construction, the rich experience of advancing the great cause and realize the great dream, learn how to do hard work, in deepening understanding to improve understanding, and effectively enhance the implementation of conscious thought and action.
