Rivers always have a source, and trees thousands of feet tall also have roots. China's excellent traditional culture is the "root" and "soul" of the Chinese nation, and without China's excellent traditional culture, promoting the sinification of Marxism and the modernization of marxism will become a source of water and a wood without a root. In the new era, to continue to promote the sinicization of Marxism into the times, we must persist in facing modernization, the world, and the future, strive to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's outstanding traditional culture, better integrate China's historical experience, national wisdom, and national spirit into Marxism, make the party's innovation theory deeply rooted in the fertile soil of China's excellent traditional culture, let Chinese culture show a new style of the times, and let Marxism shine with new light of truth.
We must persist in taking Marxism as the guide. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has attached great importance to the building of Marxist theory, always adhered to the guidance of Marxism, and stressed that the "old ancestor" of Marxism-Leninism cannot be lost. As for what kind of attitude and principles should be used to view traditional Chinese culture, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out: "We must adhere to the Marxist method, adopt a Marxist attitude, persist in using the past for the present, promote the old and the new, treat it with discrimination, inherit it with abandonment, take its essence, remove its dross, and use all the spiritual wealth created by the Chinese nation to educate people with culture and culture." "Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for building our party and our country, and it is the soul and banner of our party. The integration of the basic tenets of Marxism in the new era with China's excellent traditional culture is another great combination of standing on a new great journey and facing a new starting point, new contradictions, and new tasks, and it is not only necessary but also necessary to adhere to the guidance of Marxism. Because Marxism is a scientific theory, only by adhering to the Marxist world outlook and methodology can we profoundly reveal and explain the new point of convergence and commonality of the combination of the sinicization of Marxism and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and only by objectively examining the traditional Chinese culture in accordance with the scientific principles and scientific attitude of Marxism, and using marxist epistemology and practical outlook to transform and enhance the excellent traditional culture of China, can we better give play to the contemporary value of traditional culture. Provide strong spiritual support for the realization of the party's second centenary goal.
We must persist in taking the road of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics. Each country and nation has different historical traditions, cultural accumulations, and basic national conditions, and its development path must have its own characteristics. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the unique cultural traditions, unique historical destiny, and unique basic national conditions are doomed to take a development path suitable for our own characteristics. Socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is the crystallization of China's excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, and is the essence of the spirit of the times. To promote the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's excellent traditional culture in the new era, it is necessary to develop socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and provide a powerful spiritual force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At the same time, to promote the basic principles of Marxism in the new era and the excellent traditional culture of China, we must take the road of development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, which is not only a deep love for the excellent traditional values and concepts of China, but also a high degree of self-confidence in the advanced culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
We must persist in innovation. Shouzheng innovation is the common gene of Marxism and China's excellent traditional culture, and it is also an important guideline for developing Marxism in the new era and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and it is also the basic principle for promoting the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with china's excellent traditional culture. Since entering the new era, in promoting the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China's excellent traditional culture, we have insisted on continuing the Chinese cultural context with a modern vision, and insisted on "innovation" on the basis of "keeping the truth", which not only realized the deep integration of Marxism and China's excellent traditional culture in terms of system, culture and values, but also promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. In order to continue to promote the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's excellent traditional culture, we must properly grasp the basic principle of abiding by righteousness and innovation, and let the results of the combination become the spiritual banner of the Chinese people forging ahead into a new era, the ideological guidance for upholding and perfecting the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the scientific thinking and method of comprehensively planning the "two overall situations," so as to continuously enhance the ambition, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese.
