Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has persisted in taking Marxism as the guidance, emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, keeping pace with the times, seeking truth and being pragmatic, constantly answering China’s questions, the questions of the world, the questions of the people and the questions of the times scientifically, making correct answers that conform to the reality of China and the requirements of the times, drawing scientific understanding that conforms to objective laws, forming theoretical achievements that keep pace with the times, and better guiding China’s practice; Our party insists on making the past serve the present, bringing forth the new, upholding the integrity and respecting the past and not restoring the past, linking the essence of Marxism with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and integrating it with the common values that the people are unaware of every day, endowing Chinese civilization with modern strength by Chinese modernization, endowing Chinese modernization with profound details, promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and achieving a series of major achievements and important experiences.

The "two combinations" consolidated the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, and the creation of the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought is the most powerful embodiment of this cultural subjectivity.
Strengthen cultural self-confidence and enhance the spiritual strength of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Our party has always attached importance to the strategic significance of cultural construction in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has scientifically explained the essence of culture based on the unprecedented great changes in the world and the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation, put forward that cultural self-confidence is "more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence", profoundly discussed the essence of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture and its significance for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and pointed out the new historical orientation and new cultural mission of cultural construction in the new era.

General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important exposition enriches Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural development concept, broadens the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural development, and deepens the understanding of the law of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural construction, which is a concentrated expression of our party’s strong cultural responsibility and high cultural self-confidence.
Adhere to the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the ideological field and consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country.
Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology of building the party and building the country, rejuvenating the party and rejuvenating the country, and is the soul and banner of our party. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Marxism is the root of the towering tree of the continuous development of the cause of our party and people, and it is the source of the long river of Wan Li where our party and people keep forging ahead." "On the fundamental issue of adhering to the guidance of Marxism, we must be firm and unshakable at any time and under any circumstances." History and practice show that the fundamental system of adhering to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field is an important support of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system, an essential requirement of upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party, and a powerful guarantee for developing advanced socialist culture.
System construction is overall, stable and long-term. To ensure that the guiding position of Marxism is reflected in the various undertakings of the party and the state, and to play the leading role of Marxism in social ideology requires strong institutional support and reliable institutional guarantee. The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Upholding and Perfecting the Socialism with Chinese characteristics System and Promoting the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity, which was deliberated and adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, emphasized the fundamental system of upholding the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, and made a series of major arrangements, clearly put forward and improved the work system of arming the whole party and educating the people with the Party’s innovative theory, improved the learning system at all levels such as the theoretical learning center group of the Party committee (party group), established the system and mechanism of educating people in a full, full and all-round way, and implemented the ideology. This is of great significance for building a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power and consolidating the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country.
Adhere to and strengthen the party’s overall leadership over ideological work, and firmly grasp the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work.
Ideological work is an important aspect of cultural construction. Whether ideological work can be done well is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term stability of the country, national cohesion and centripetal force. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has placed ideological work at the height of the overall strategic situation, emphasized that "ideological work is the work of building the heart for the country and the soul for the nation", put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories, made a series of major arrangements, made efforts in various ways to solve the outstanding problems, and adopted various methods to effectively reverse the passive situation that once appeared in the ideological field.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked the whole Party to fully understand the complexity and long-term nature of ideological struggle, enhance the position consciousness, strengthen the position construction, and firmly grasp the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Propaganda and ideological positions, if we don’t occupy them, others will occupy them." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "All propaganda and ideological departments and units, party member and cadres on the propaganda and ideological front must adhere to the principle of party spirit in a clear-cut manner." "The core of adhering to party spirit is to adhere to the correct political direction, stand firm in political stance, firmly publicize the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, firmly publicize the major work arrangements of the central government, firmly publicize the central government’s major analysis and judgment on the situation, resolutely maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee, and resolutely safeguard the central authority." Wall-riding school ’ And ‘ See the wind school ’ You can’t cherish feathers. Comrades on the propaganda and ideological front should fulfill their sacred duties and glorious missions, and actively participate in the front line of propaganda and ideological struggle with the attitude of fighting and the responsibility of soldiers. " In the decade of the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the ideological situation in China has undergone an overall and fundamental change, and the cultural self-confidence of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups has been significantly enhanced.The cohesion and centripetal force of the whole society have greatly improved, providing a strong ideological guarantee and strong spiritual strength for the new era to create a new situation in the cause of the party and the state.
Cultivate and practice socialist core values and improve the ideological and moral level of the whole nation.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "For a nation and a country, the most lasting and deepest strength is the core values recognized by the whole society. Core values bear the spiritual pursuit of a nation and a country, and embody a value standard for judging the merits of a society. Cultivating and carrying forward core values and effectively integrating social consciousness are important ways for the normal operation of social systems and the effective maintenance of social order, and are also important aspects of national governance system and governance capacity. History and reality show that core values are an important stabilizer for a country, and whether they can be constructed with strong appeal is related to social harmony. To strengthen cultural self-confidence, carry forward the spirit of China, highlight China’s values and unite China’s strength, we must vigorously cultivate and practice socialist core values, take cultivating and carrying forward socialist core values as a basic project to gather spirits and strengthen the foundation, constantly consolidate the ideological and moral foundation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and improve the ideological and moral level of the whole nation.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese civilization stretches for thousands of years and has its unique value system." "We advocate and carry forward socialist core values, and we must draw rich nutrition from them, otherwise it will not have vitality and influence." This profoundly enlightens us that the cultivation and promotion of socialist core values must be based on Chinese excellent traditional culture. The firm core values have their inherent roots. Abandoning tradition and losing the roots is tantamount to cutting off one’s spiritual lifeline. In the new era and new journey, in order to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we should cultivate and practice the socialist core values, seriously absorb the ideological essence and moral essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, deeply explore and expound the times values of Chinese excellent traditional culture, such as caring, attaching importance to the people, keeping honesty, worshiping justice, respecting harmony and seeking harmony, and inheriting and carrying forward them in light of the new times conditions, so as to make them an important source of cultivating socialist core values.
