Institute of Party History and Literature of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his important speech at the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: "One hundred years ago, the pioneers of the Communist Party of China founded the Communist Party of China, forming the great spirit of adhering to the truth, adhering to ideals, practicing the original intention, undertaking the mission, not being afraid of sacrifice, heroic struggle, loyalty to the party, and living up to the people, which is the source of the spirit of the Communist Party of China. "The great spirit of party building is rich in connotation and far-reaching in artistic conception, spanning time and space and lasting. Carrying forward the great spirit of party building is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for promoting the new great project of party building in the new era and for upholding and developing the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The foundation and conditions for the formation of the great party-building spirit
The great spirit of party building is a precious spiritual wealth created by the pioneers of the Communist Party of China in the 1920s in exploring the road of saving the country and the people, a precious spiritual wealth produced by the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and the combination of China's excellent traditional culture, condensing the original intention and mission of the Chinese communists, and inspiring the Chinese communists to constantly forge ahead in a pioneering spirit.
The historical task of national rejuvenation is the background of the times in which the great spirit of party building was formed. The Chinese nation is a great nation in the world, with a long history of civilization of more than 5,000 years, and has made indelible contributions to the progress of human civilization. However, after the Opium War of 1840, China gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society: Western powers flocked to China to force China to cut land, pay reparations, and seize various privileges; the decadent Qing government increasingly became a tool for foreign capitalist rule in China, betraying the country and being incompetent, and strangling China's vitality. The contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, the contradiction between feudalism and the masses of the people, has become the main contradiction in modern Chinese society. Since then, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become the greatest dream of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation; striving for national independence, the liberation of the people, and realizing the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the people have become the two major historical tasks of the Chinese people. It is precisely under the theme of this great era that the various factors contained in the great spirit of party building have begun to be conceived, formed, and enriched and developed in the course of continuous struggle.
Marxism-Leninism is the theoretical source for the formation of the great founding spirit of the Party. The October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China with the sound of a cannon. The Chinese people, who were caught in the midst of wandering and bitterness, saw the way out and hope for the solution of the Chinese problem, and a group of advanced elements with rudimentary communist ideas in favor of the Russian October socialist revolution began to appear in China. When the May Fourth Movement broke out in 1919, the Chinese working class began to enter the political arena as an independent posture, showing great strength, and Marxism began to spread widely in China. Gathered under the banner of Marxism, China's advanced elements actively threw themselves into the practice of mass struggle, investigating life among workers, propagating the revolution, running schools, and running trade unions. With the further spread of Marxism in China, the combination with the Chinese workers' movement promoted the germination of the great spirit of party building.
The great party building activities are the practical basis for the formation of the great party building spirit. "South Chen And North Li, Meet to Build the Party." With the help of the Comintern, the Advanced Elements of China organized the Marx Theory Research Society and other organizations, and established the early organizations of the Communist Party. They devoted themselves to the study and propagation of Marxism, to the polemics against the anti-Marxist trend of thought, to the organization of the masses of workers, and to the establishment of the Socialist Youth League. In July 1921, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai, and a completely new proletarian party with Marxism-Leninism as its guide to action was born. After the founding of the Communist Party of China, it quickly led party organizations in various localities to carry out the labor movement and party group building. In July 1922, the Second National Congress of the Party was convened, formulating the Party's program for the democratic revolution, giving birth to the first Party Constitution, and improving the central leading organs, marking the successful completion of the founding of the Communist Party of China. In the process of founding the Communist Party of China, party organizations were established in practice and a great spirit of party building was formed spiritually.
China's excellent traditional culture is the cultural soil formed by the great founding spirit of the party. Without the prosperity of Chinese culture, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The excellent traditional Chinese culture nurtured in the development of civilization for more than 5,000 years is the spiritual lifeblood of the Chinese nation. Traditional virtues such as advocating benevolence, valuing the people, keeping good faith, stressing dialectics, maintaining harmony, and seeking greatness, and making unremitting efforts to improve oneself, dedicating oneself to one's work, supporting the righteous and promoting goodness, helping the needy and helping the needy, seeing righteousness and courage, and filial piety and loving relatives have formed the unique ideological concepts and moral norms of the Chinese nation. Taking the rise and fall of the country as their own responsibility, China's advanced elements have solemnly chosen and widely disseminated the truth of Marxism, activated the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture, and provided rich cultural and spiritual nourishment for the formation of the great spirit of party building.
The profound connotation of the great spirit of party building
In his important speech at the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping for the first time put forward and expounded the profound connotation and great significance of the great spirit of party building. The great spirit of party building is a high-level summary of the pioneering mental course of the COMMUNIST Party of China, which has both historical penetration and spiritual appeal, both theoretical guidance and practical guidance, and constitutes an organic whole with strict logic and internal unity.
Adhering to the truth and adhering to the ideal means adhering to the scientific truth of Marxism, adhering to the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is a concentrated expression of the ideals, convictions, and value pursuits of the Chinese Communists. The Communist Party of China is a political party armed with Marxism, and Marxism is the soul of the ideals and convictions of Chinese communists. From the October Revolution in Russia, the advanced elements in China saw "a new dawn for all mankind in the world," felt that "the taste of truth is very sweet," and established a Marxist belief. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "Doctrine is like a flag, and when the flag is erected, everyone can have some hope and know where they are going." One of the party's major legislations defined the name of the party as the "Communist Party of China", which made it clear that "the revolutionary army must work with the proletariat to overthrow the power of the capitalist class", "recognize the dictatorship of the proletariat until the end of the class struggle", "abolish capitalist private property", etc. This shows that from the very beginning, the Communist Party of China has adhered to Marxism as its guide to action and has taken a clear-cut stand in setting socialism and communism as its goal of struggle. Faith in Marxism, faith in socialism and communism, has always been the spiritual pillar for communists to withstand any test. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Why the Communist Party of China can, why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, is because of Marxism!" "The Chinese Communists have adhered to the truth and adhered to ideals, constantly promoted the sinicization of Marxism into the times, guided the Chinese people to continuously promote the great social revolution, profoundly changed the direction and process of the development of the Chinese nation since modern times, profoundly changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development.
Practicing the original intention and undertaking the mission is to adhere to the original intention and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. This is a concentrated expression of the historical responsibility of the Chinese communists and the mission of the times. As the most advanced class in China, the party of the working class, the Communist Party of China represents not only the interests of the working class, but also the interests of the entire Chinese people and the Chinese nation. The Second National Congress of the Party pointed out that the party's maximum program is to realize socialism and communism, but at the present stage, the minimum program is to overthrow the warlords, overthrow the oppression of international imperialism, and unify China as a genuine democratic republic. The resolution of the Second Party Congress demanded that "individual Party members should not only express themselves as communists in speech, but also show communists in deeds." The Communist Party of China has always integrated its original intention into its bloodline, carried its mission on its shoulders, closely relied on the people, been reborn again and again in desperate circumstances in the midst of bloody storms, and constantly marched from victory to victory in overcoming difficulties. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "From Shikumen to Tiananmen, from Xingye Road to Fuxing Road, all the efforts, all the struggles and all the sacrifices made by our party in the past hundred years are for the happiness of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation. "The Chinese Communists have practiced their original intentions, undertaken their missions, united and led the Chinese people to carry out revolution, construction, and reform, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process."
Not being afraid of sacrifice and heroic struggle means always maintaining the spirit of struggle, tenacious will, and fine work style, facing all difficulties and challenges without fear, and unswervingly opening up new horizons. This is a concentrated expression of the spiritual style and will quality of the Chinese Communists. The Communist Party of China is "the vanguard of the proletariat, the party that struggles for the proletariat, and the party that revolutionizes the proletariat" and has always regarded "the implementation of the social revolution" as its fundamental political aim. A Communist is a "man made of special materials" and is not afraid to "die for the doctrine he believes in." Comrade Mao Zedong said: "Since ancient times, there has not been a single group in China, like the Communist Party, that has sacrificed everything and sacrificed many people to do such a big thing. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "In coping with various difficulties and challenges, our party has tempered the wind and quality of not being afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of risks, daring to struggle, and daring to win." In the revolutionary forging, the Chinese Communists have radiated strong vitality, always walked in the forefront of the times, and become the backbone of the people of the whole country and a strong core of leadership.
To be loyal to the party and to live up to the people means to be unconditionally loyal to the party's beliefs, to the party organizations, to the party's theories, lines, principles, and policies, and to always adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. This is a concentrated expression of the political responsibility of the Chinese Communists and the people's position. One of the Party's programs clearly stipulates that the conditions for Party membership are: "Those who recognize the Party's program and policies and wish to become loyal Members." The Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people and has not had any special interests of its own. The Resolution of the Second Congress of the Communist Party of China states that the Communist Party of China is "a party that struggles for the proletarian masses" and that "since it is to form a revolutionary movement and a large mass party," "two important laws must not be forgotten: (i) all movements of the Party must penetrate deep into the broad masses." (ii) There must be within the Party organization and training adapted to the revolution. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The vast number of Communist Party members throughout the country must always love the party in the party, serve the party in the party, care for the people and the people, be loyal for a lifetime, and dedicate a lifetime." The Chinese Communists have always maintained the closest ties with the masses of the people, achieved development and growth from small to large and from weak to strong, and united and led the people to fundamentally change the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.
The great spirit of party building is the historical source and highly condensed spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Over the past hundred years, the Communist Party of China has carried forward the great spirit of party building, built up the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists in the long-term struggle, and tempered a distinct political character. "Correctly understanding the relationship between the great spirit of party building and the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, especially from the course of the party's century-long struggle, is the key to understanding and grasping the great spirit of party building as the source of the spirit of the Communist Party of China."
The great spirit of party building is the historical source of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. Trees are thousands of feet tall and have roots, and water flows for thousands of miles. The great spirit of party building was formed in the great practice of building the Communist Party of China. The founding of the Party is the starting point of the CPC's journey of struggle, and the formation of the great spirit of party building is the beginning of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. In the course of a century of continuous struggle, the CPC has carried forward the great spirit of party building, united and led the people to create a series of great achievements, and forged a series of great spirits. During the period of the new-democratic revolution, the Communist Party of China united and led the people to fight bloody battles and persevere, overthrew the three great mountains, established the People's Republic of China, and forged the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of the Long March, the spirit of the Zunyi Conference, the spirit of Yan'an, and the spirit of Xibaipo. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the party united and led the people to rely on themselves and strive to become stronger, established the basic socialist system, promoted socialist construction, and forged the spirit of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the spirit of the Red Flag Canal, the spirit of Daqing, the spirit of iron man, the spirit of Lei Feng, the spirit of Jiao Yulu, and the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite." In the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, the party has united and led the people to emancipate their minds, forge ahead, create, uphold, defend, and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, and forge the spirit of the special zone, the spirit of fighting floods, the spirit of fighting SARS, the spirit of manned spaceflight, and the spirit of earthquake relief. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the party has united and led the people to be self-confident, self-reliant and innovative, promote the cause of the party and the country to achieve historic achievements and historic changes, and forge the spirit of lunar exploration, the spirit of Beidou in the new era, the great anti-epidemic spirit, and the spirit of poverty alleviation. This series of great spirits is the "living water" of the "source" of the great party-building spirit in different historical periods, and it is a concrete manifestation of the CPC's carrying forward the great spirit of party building in fulfilling different historical tasks, and jointly building up the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists.
The great spirit of party building is a high degree of condensation of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. History flows endlessly, and the spirit is passed on from generation to generation. The series of great spirits forged by the CPC in different historical periods not only have their own emphases and characteristics, but also embody the basic connotations of the great spirit of party building from different aspects. For example, the main contents of the Jinggangshan spirit are: strengthening conviction, working hard, seeking truth from facts, daring to blaze a new trail, relying on the masses, and having the courage to win; the main contents of the Yan'an spirit are: strengthening the correct political direction, emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and the entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and arduous struggle; the main contents of the Daqing spirit and the iron man spirit are: patriotism, entrepreneurship, truth-seeking, and dedication; and the main contents of the "two bombs and one satellite" spirit are: love for the motherland, selfless dedication, and self-reliance The main contents of the spirit of the special economic zone are: dare to dare to try, dare to be the first, and immerse oneself in hard work; the main content of the spirit of fighting floods is: unity of purpose, unity of purpose, not afraid of difficulties, tenacious struggle, perseverance, and courage to win; the main content of the spirit of fighting SARs is: unity of purpose, unity and mutual assistance, harmony, courage to win; the main content of the great anti-epidemic spirit is: life first, the whole country is united, the whole country is united, life is forgotten, respect for science, and fate is shared The main contents of the spirit of poverty alleviation are: work together from top to bottom, fight with all their might, be precise and pragmatic, blaze new trails, overcome difficulties, and live up to the people. The main contents of this series of great spirits all contain the basic connotations of the great spirit of party building, which fully shows that the great spirit of party building was formed in the practice of founding the Communist Party of China and carried forward in the glorious history of the party over the past hundred years; it is not only the historical source of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, but also a high degree of condensation of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists.
The great spirit of party building is the red blood that runs through the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. "Stones can be broken, but they cannot be seized; Dan can be sharpened, but not red." The great spirit of party building embodies the nature, purpose, fine work style, and great character of the COMMUNIST Party of China in a concentrated way, profoundly reveals the most distinctive characteristics and characteristics of the CPC, fully demonstrates the essential content and spiritual essence of the spiritual genealogy of the CPC, is a red line that runs through the spiritual genealogy of the CPC, and is the genetic code for the continuous development and growth of the CPC.
Adhering to the truth and adhering to ideals has profoundly revealed the distinct characteristics of the CPC's advanced ideology and firm belief, and demonstrated the party's strong ideological superiority. The reason why the Communist Party of China has been able to accomplish the arduous tasks that various political forces have been unable to accomplish in modern times lies in the fact that it has always taken the scientific theory of Marxism as its guide to action and has constantly opened up a new realm for the sinification of Marxism; the reason why it has been able to withstand setbacks and rise up again and again lies in the fact that it has always regarded the realization of communism as a lofty ideal and a lofty pursuit, and the light of ideals will never be extinguished and the light of faith will never be extinguished.
Practicing the original intention and undertaking the mission has profoundly revealed the distinctive characteristics of the CPC that its original intention has not changed and its true colors are still the same, and has demonstrated the party's strong political advantages. The Communist Party of China has always closely linked its future and destiny with the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and has made unremitting efforts to strive for national independence, the liberation of the people, and the realization of the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the people. All the struggles, all the sacrifices, and all the creations carried out by the Communist Party of China in unity and leading the people boil down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Not being afraid of sacrifice and fighting heroically has profoundly revealed the distinctive characteristics of the CPC's tenacious will and fine work style, and demonstrated the party's strong spiritual superiority. The Communist Party of China has always maintained the fearless spirit of struggle of "sacrificing more ambitions and daring to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new heaven, and in the various periods of China's revolution, construction, and reform, it has braved strong enemies, risks, struggles, and victories, and has created one miracle after another. No other party in the world has encountered so many hardships and obstacles, experienced so many life and death tests, and paid so many tragic sacrifices like the Communist Party of China.
Being loyal to the party and not living up to the people has profoundly revealed the distinctive characteristics of the CPC with high moral character and affection for the people, and has demonstrated the party's strong moral superiority. Generation after generation of Chinese Communists have stubbornly struggled and made unremitting efforts for the cause of the party and the people, and a large number of revolutionary martyrs who regard death as their homecoming, a large number of heroes who have stubbornly struggled, and a large number of advanced models who have made selfless dedication have emerged, which has explained with practical actions the infinite loyalty of communists to the party and their infinite love for the people.
Carry forward the great spirit of party building in the new era
"If people do not have spirit, they will not stand, and if the country does not have spirit, it will not be strong." The great spirit of party building has been deeply integrated into the blood and soul of the party, the state, the nation, and the people, and has become a rich nourishment of the chinese national spirit, an important part of the national spirit and the spirit of the times, and a precious spiritual wealth of the party and the state. Inheriting and carrying forward the great spirit of party building will surely become a powerful spiritual motive force to encourage the whole party and the people of the whole country to enter a new journey, forge ahead into a new era, constantly overcome difficulties, and advance from victory to victory.
Carry forward the great spirit of party building, earnestly learn to understand and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, and strengthen faith, belief and confidence. Strengthening ideals and convictions and adhering to the spiritual pursuit of communists has always been the foundation for communists to settle down and establish their lives. When theory is prosperous, the party is prosperous, and if the ideology is strong, the party is strong. To carry forward the great spirit of party building in the new era, we must use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism, to arm the whole party, educate the people, take a new journey in the new era, and achieve the second centennial goal.
Carry forward the great spirit of party building, promote the new great project of party building in the new era, and adhere to the original intention and mission of communists. The original intention and mission are the fundamental driving force that motivates the Chinese Communists to keep moving forward. To carry forward the great spirit of party building in the new era, we must regard not forgetting our original intention and keeping our mission firmly in mind as an eternal task for strengthening party building and as a lifelong task for all party members and cadres, push the party's self-revolution in depth, resolutely eliminate all factors that weaken the party's advanced nature and undermine the party's purity, resolutely guard against all dangers that run counter to the original intention and mission and shake the party's foundation, and build the party into a Marxist ruling party that always walks in the forefront of the times.
We should carry forward the great spirit of party building, have the courage to carry out great struggles with many new historical characteristics, and be ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people at any time. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is by no means something that can be achieved easily by beating a gong and beating a drum; the road ahead is bound to have all kinds of risks and tests and even encounter terrifying waves, and we must always carry out a great struggle with many new historical characteristics. To carry forward the great spirit of party building in the new era, we must carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, stand up at critical moments, dare to take responsibility, dare to take action and confront hardships, dare to make innovations, be willing to make contributions, give up personal interests for the sake of collective interests, and constantly win new victories in the great struggle.
Carry forward the great spirit of party building, truly regard loyalty to the party as the primary political quality of communists, and always put the people in the highest position in their hearts. The strength of the Communist Party of China comes from the loyalty of Party members to the Party's cause and from the consciousness and firmness of Party members in implementing the Party's line, principles, and policies. To carry forward the great spirit of party building in the new era, it is necessary to enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve "two safeguards", keep in mind the "great power of the country", and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in ideology, politics and action. We should always want to be together and work together with the people, start with the most difficult masses, grasp the most prominent problems, and proceed from the most realistic interests, and constantly realize the people's yearning for a better life.
