In the expert keynote report session, Researcher Ouyang Xuemei, with the title “The Historical Logic of the Formation of Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thought,” systematically reviewed the historical process and developmental trajectory of the formation of Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thought. She pointed out that Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thought answers the epochal questions of Chinese and world cultural development, enriches the contemporary connotation of cultural construction under socialism with Chinese characteristics, and writes a new chapter in Marxist cultural theory. She emphasized that, in the face of changes unseen in a century in the world and the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, cultural construction must be placed in an important position in overall work, and the understanding of the laws of cultural construction must be continuously deepened.

在专家主旨报告环节，欧阳雪梅研究员以《习近平文化思想形成的历史逻辑》为题，系统梳理了习近平文化思想形成的历史过程和发展脉络，指出习近平文化思想回答了中国与世界文化发展的时代命题，丰富了中国特色社会主义文化建设的时代内涵，谱写了马克思主义文化理论的新篇章，强调面对世界百年未有之大变局和中华民族伟大复兴的历史使命，要把文化建设摆在全局工作的重要位置，不断深化对文化建设的规律性认识。

Researcher Liu Xukuan, with the title “The Essence, Challenges, and Responses to the Party’s Cultural Leadership,” conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Party’s cultural leadership from three aspects: essential connotation, risk impact, and construction path. He pointed out that the Party’s cultural leadership currently faces multiple risks and challenges, such as “pretending to understand, falsely believing, and not using” Marxism, cultural relativism, nihilism, and cultural fence-sitters. He emphasized that to defend and strengthen the Party’s cultural leadership, it is necessary to deeply cultivate the Party’s cultural leadership with the Party’s innovative theory, forge a solid cultural foundation and cultural subjectivity of historical materialism, consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological domain, shoulder new cultural missions, and cultivate more doers who are also propagandists.

刘须宽研究员以《党的文化领导权的本质、挑战与应对》为题，从本质内涵、风险冲击、建构路径三个方面对党的文化领导权进行了全面分析，指出当前党的文化领导权面临着“装懂假信不用”马克思主义、文化相对主义、虚无主义、文化骑墙派等多种风险与挑战，强调要捍卫和强化党的文化领导权就必须以党的创新理论厚植党的文化领导权，铸牢历史唯物主义的文化根基与文化主体性，夯实马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位，担负起新的文化使命，培育更多实干家兼宣传家。

In the young scholar exchange session, Yang Binbin, an associate researcher at the Institute of Marxism, with the title “On the Interpretive Logic and Construction Path of the New Form of Human Civilization,” emphasized that civilizational diversity is a basic feature of human society, mutual learning among civilizations is an endogenous driving force for the development of human society, and constructing a new form of human civilization requires adhering to a historical perspective, establishing strategic awareness, upholding dialectical thinking, deeply analyzing and revealing the logic of civilizational development, and being adept at breaking through the constraints of civilizational interpretation. Zhang Shunyue, an associate researcher at the Institute of Contemporary China Studies, with the title “Constructing a System of Symbols for Chinese Civilization,” pointed out that constructing a system of symbols for Chinese civilization is an important goal proposed by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC [1]1 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, held in July 2024, focused on further deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization. and an important component of the Party’s propaganda, ideology, and cultural work since the New Era. It can be understood from multiple levels, including spiritual symbols, symbolic representations, material civilization symbols, and intangible civilization symbols. Sun Jinya, an editor of *Studies on Marxism*, with the title “The Temporal-Spatial Dimension of the Cultural Form of Chinese-Path Modernization,” pointed out that the “dispute between China and the West, the ancient and the modern” inherently contains two logics of time and space. From the temporal dimension, the “dispute between China and the West, the ancient and the modern” involves the contradiction between ancient culture and modern culture in cultural innovation and development; from the spatial dimension, there is a contradiction between local culture and foreign culture. Constructing the cultural form of Chinese-path modernization means integrating and elevating various heterogeneous cultures in contemporary China to resolve the temporal-spatial contradictions of contemporary Chinese cultural forms. Liu Haihua, a cadre in the Scientific Research Office of the Institute of Marxism, with the title “Promoting the Construction of an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences through Organized Research,” explained from three aspects—deep-seated reasons, strategic significance, and practical paths—that organized research is an important way to construct an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. He argued that it is necessary to further improve the scientific research work mechanism, provide more interdisciplinary platforms and development opportunities, establish a more reasonable training system, assessment system, and supervision system, and properly handle the relationship between the collective and the individual, and between national social needs and personal research interests. Bi Guoshuai, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Marxism, with the title “The ‘Two Integrations’ Manifest the Basic Logic of Contemporary Chinese Theoretical Innovation,” pointed out that the Two Integrations, as the fundamental path for adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times and “the greatest magic weapon for achieving success,” [2]2 This phrase, “取得成功的最大法宝,” is a formulation from the Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centenary Struggle (2021), referring to the Two Integrations as the key to the Party’s success. centrally embody the regular characteristics and universal requirements of the CPC’s promotion of theoretical innovation and theoretical creation, and prescribe and carry the basic logic of contemporary Chinese theoretical innovation. Zhang Ting, an editor of *Studies on World Socialism*, with the title “Understanding ‘We Are More Capable Than Any Previous Era of Resolving the Dispute Between China and the West, the Ancient and the Modern,’” pointed out that the core of resolving the “dispute between China and the West, the ancient and the modern” lies in the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture. This requires that in developing fine traditional Chinese culture, we must “respect the ancient” and “uphold the orthodox,” take Marxism as the guide, adhere to the correct stance, and ensure that the fine cultural genes of the Chinese nation adapt to contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society, thereby activating their vitality.

在青年学者交流环节，马克思主义研究院副研究员杨彬彬以《论人类文明新形态的阐释逻辑和建构路径》为题，强调文明多样性是人类社会的基本特征，文明互鉴是人类社会发展的内生动力，构建人类文明新形态要坚持历史观念、树立战略意识、秉承辩证思维，深刻剖析和揭示文明发展逻辑，善于突破文明诠释禁锢。当代所副研究员章舜粤以《构建中华文明标识体系》为题，指出构建中华文明标识体系是中共二十届三中全会提出的重要目标，是新时代以来党的宣传思想文化工作的重要组成部分，可以从精神标识、符号象征、物质文明标识、非物质文明标识等多个层面去认识中华文明标识。《马克思主义研究》编辑孙巾雅以《中国式现代化文化形态的时空之维》为题，指出“中西古今之争”内在蕴含着时空两个方面的逻辑。“中西古今之争”，从时间维度看，是文化创新发展存在着古代文化与现代文化的矛盾；从空间维度看，存在本土文化和外来文化的矛盾，而构建中国式现代化文化形态就是要对当代中国各种异质性文化进行整合和提升，以破解当代中国文化形态的时空矛盾。马克思主义研究院科研处干部刘海华以《以有组织科研推动构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系》为题，从深层原因、战略意义和实践路径三个方面阐释了有组织科研是构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的重要方式，要进一步完善科研工作机制，提供更多的学科交叉平台和发展机会，建立更加合理的培养体系、考核体系、监督体系，处理好集体与个人、国家社会需求与个人科研兴趣之间的关系。马克思主义研究院助理研究员毕国帅以《“两个结合”彰显当代中国理论创新的基本逻辑》为题，指出“两个结合”作为推进马克思主义中国化时代化的根本途径和“取得成功的最大法宝”，集中体现了中国共产党推进理论创新、理论创造的规律性特征和普遍性要求，规定并承载着当代中国理论创新的基本逻辑。《世界社会主义研究》编辑张婷以《对“我们比以往任何一个时代都更有条件破解‘古今中西之争’”的认识》为题，指出破解“中西古今之争”的核心在于对中华优秀传统文化进行创造性转化和创新性发展。这要求发展中华优秀传统文化必须做到“尊古”“守正”，以马克思主义为指导，坚守正确立场，使中华民族优秀文化基因与当代文化相适应、与现代社会相协调，激活其生命力。

The attending experts commented on the young scholars’ presentations and affirmed them. The successful holding of this seminar was not only an in-depth study and exchange on Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thought but also a new attempt to cultivate the growth methods of young scholars.

与会专家对青年学者的发言进行了点评并给予了肯定。此次研讨会的成功举办不仅是对习近平文化思想的深入学习和交流，更是对培养青年学者成长方式的新的尝试。
