The First “Marxism and Agricultural and Rural Modernization” Academic Symposium Successfully Held

On July 5, 2025, the first “Marxism and Agricultural and Rural Modernization” academic symposium, co-hosted by the New Collective Economy Research Branch of the Chinese Association of Political Economy, the Marxism Research Branch of the China Higher Education Association, and Sichuan Agricultural University, was convened in Chengdu. This symposium was organized by the School of Marxism of Sichuan Agricultural University and the Sichuan Provincial Association of Political Economy, and co-organized by the Western Rural Revitalization Research Center and the Sichuan Rural Development Research Center. The theme of the symposium was “Further Deepening Rural Reform and Advancing Comprehensive Rural Revitalization.” [1]1 The "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture" (农业八字宪法) refers to eight key factors for agricultural production — soil (土), fertilizer (肥), water (水), seed (种), density (密), protection (保), management (管), and tools (工) — promoted as a policy framework during the Great Leap Forward period (1958–1961) under Mao Zedong. Experts and scholars from multiple institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University, the Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, China Agricultural University, the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, and Sichuan Agricultural University, attended the symposium for exchange and discussion.

2025年7月5日，由中国政治经济学学会新型集体经济研究分会、中国高等教育学会马克思主义研究分会、四川农业大学联合举办的首届“马克思主义与农业农村现代化”学术研讨会在成都召开。本次研讨会由四川农业大学马克思主义学院、四川省政治经济学会承办，西部乡村振兴研究中心、四川省农村发展研究中心协办，会议主题是“进一步深化农村改革，推进乡村全面振兴 ”。来自中国社会科学院、北京大学、清华大学、农业农村部经济研究中心、中国农业大学、四川省社会科学院、四川农业大学等多家单位的专家学者与会交流研讨。

The opening ceremony was presided over by Professor Jiang Yuansheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Sichuan Agricultural University, head of the Publicity Department, and Party Committee Secretary of the School of Marxism. Speeches were delivered at the symposium by Professor Liu Dengcai, Party Committee Secretary of Sichuan Agricultural University; Professor An Yufeng, chair of the Marxism Research Branch of the China Higher Education Association, deputy director and secretary-general of the University Affairs Committee of Peking University, and chair of the Peking University Trade Union; Researcher Luo Wendong, Party Committee Secretary of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; and Researcher Gong Yun, Party Committee Secretary of the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and chair of the New Collective Economy Research Branch of the Chinese Association of Political Economy.

开幕式环节由四川农业大学党委常委、宣传部部长、马克思主义学院党委书记蒋远胜教授主持。四川农业大学党委书记刘登才教授，中国高等教育学会马克思主义研究分会理事长、北京大学校务委员会副主任兼秘书长、北京大学工会主席安钰峰教授，中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记罗文东研究员，中国社会科学院经济研究所党委书记、中国政治经济学学会新型集体经济研究分会会长龚云研究员进行会议致辞。

Liu Dengcai first extended warm congratulations on the convening of the symposium and expressed sincere welcome and heartfelt thanks to the attending leaders, experts, and scholars. He pointed out that advancing agricultural and rural modernization at present is not only a matter of national strategy and the well-being of the people but also places new and higher demands on theoretical research and talent cultivation in higher education. He emphasized that this symposium is a concrete manifestation of the university’s implementation of the mission to “cultivate talent for the Party and educate people for the state,” [2]2 The “Ten Million Project” (千万工程) refers to the “Thousand Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation” project initiated in Zhejiang Province in 2003, a large-scale rural environment improvement and development initiative. and an important opportunity to promote the deep integration of Marxist theory with agricultural and rural modernization. The convening of the symposium will inevitably provide a powerful platform for promoting theoretical innovation, serving national strategy, and fostering the integration of industry, academia, and research. He expressed the hope that the university would take this symposium as an opportunity to deepen cooperation and exchange with other universities and research institutions, jointly advance the integrated innovation of Marxist theory and agricultural and rural modernization, and contribute more theoretical achievements and intellectual strength to Chinese-path modernization and national rejuvenation.

刘登才首先对会议的召开表示热烈祝贺，对莅临的领导、专家学者致以诚挚欢迎与衷心感谢。他指出，当前推进农业农村现代化，不仅是国家战略所系、人民福祉所需，也对理论研究和高校育人提出了新的更高要求。他强调，本次会议是学校落实“为党育人、为国育才”使命的具体体现，也是推动马克思主义理论与农业农村现代化深度融合的重要契机。会议的召开，必将为推动理论创新、服务国家战略、促进产学研融合提供强大平台。希望学校以本次研讨会为契机，深化与各高校、研究机构的合作交流，携手推进马克思主义理论与农业农村现代化的融合创新，为中国式现代化与民族复兴贡献更多理论成果与智慧力量。

An Yufeng pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s discourse on “building China into an agricultural powerhouse” highlights the importance of agricultural and rural modernization. He emphasized that, from a historical and strategic perspective, deepening rural reform is fundamental to solving agricultural and rural issues and is key to advancing comprehensive rural revitalization. In the face of the current international situation, it is necessary to adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, strictly maintain the red line for arable land, [3]3 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in 2012, marking the beginning of the New Era under Xi Jinping’s leadership. and effectively address the “three rural” issues. [4]4 “Three rights separation” (三权分置) refers to the separation of rural land ownership, contract rights, and management rights, a reform policy to facilitate land transfer and agricultural modernization. He put forward three important expectations for the symposium: first, to deepen the research and interpretation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on agricultural and rural modernization; second, to use Marxist standpoints, viewpoints, and methods to analyze the “three rural” issues; and third, to construct an academic system for “three rural” research with Chinese characteristics. He called on participating scholars to delve deeply into the practice of rural revitalization, to “write papers on the motherland,” [5]5 The “Three-in-One” path (三位一体) is a common Chinese policy formulation pattern; here it refers to three paired dimensions of digital transformation: delegation of authority and connectivity to strengthen the base, subordination and integration to consolidate the foundation, and activation and penetration to build the groundwork. and to provide solid theoretical support for advancing agricultural and rural modernization.

安钰峰指出，习近平总书记关于“农业强国”的论述，凸显了农业农村现代化的重要性。他强调，从历史和战略高度看，深化农村改革是解决农业农村问题的根本，是推进乡村全面振兴的关键。面对当前国际形势，必须坚持农业农村优先发展，严守耕地红线，切实解决好“三农”问题。他对研讨会提出三点重要期待：一是深化习近平总书记关于农业农村现代化重要论述的研究阐释；二是运用马克思主义立场观点方法分析“三农”问题；三是构建中国特色“三农”研究学术体系。他呼吁与会学者要深入乡村振兴实践，把论文写在祖国大地上，为推进农业农村现代化提供坚实的理论支撑。

Luo Wendong, on behalf of the agency managing the Chinese Association of Political Economy—the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences—expressed warm congratulations on the convening of this symposium. He pointed out that agricultural and rural modernization is not only an important theoretical issue in the “three rural” field but also a major practical issue in comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-path modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping has clearly stated that without agricultural and rural modernization, there is no national modernization. How to properly handle the relationship between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas is key to the success or failure of modernization. It is necessary to adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, improve the policy system for strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, and enriching them, promote the formation of a diversified food supply system, expand county-level industries that enrich the people, cultivate new industries and new business forms, and advance comprehensive rural revitalization. The theme of this symposium, focusing on deepening rural reform and advancing comprehensive rural revitalization, covers a series of major issues and is of great value. He expressed the hope that the symposium would adhere to the correct direction and principles, implement relevant ideas and spirit, base itself on practice, use Marxist standpoints, viewpoints, and methods, draw on international experience, deeply study China’s agricultural and rural modernization issues, and contribute greater wisdom and strength to accelerating the construction of China’s independent theoretical system for agricultural and rural modernization, with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as its banner and soul, and to comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.

罗文东代表中国政治经济学学会的代管单位——中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院对此次研讨会的召开表示热烈祝贺。他指出，农业农村现代化不仅是“三农”领域的重要理论问题，而且是以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业的重大现实议题。习近平总书记明确指出，没有农业农村现代化就没有国家现代化。如何正确处理好工农城乡关系，是关系现代化成败的关键。要坚持农业农村优先发展，完善强农惠农富农政策体系，推动形成多元化食物供给体系，壮大县域富民产业，培育新产业、新业态，推进乡村全面振兴。本次研讨会主题聚焦深化农村改革、推进乡村全面振兴，涵盖一系列重大问题，具有重要价值。他希望研讨会坚持正确方向和原则，贯彻相关思想与精神，立足实践，运用马克思主义立场观点方法，借鉴国际经验，深入研究我国农业农村现代化问题，为加快构建以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为旗帜和灵魂的中国自主的农业农村现代化理论体系、全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业贡献更大的智慧和力量。

Gong Yun put forward several thoughts and suggestions on Marxism and China’s agricultural and rural modernization. First, it is necessary to enhance the awareness of using Marxist theory to guide China’s agricultural and rural modernization. The Marxist theory on the “three rural” issues is the fundamental weapon for doing related work well; adhering to Marxist guidance can clarify the direction of the modernization path and help rural revitalization. Second, attention must be paid to the development of the collective economy. The collective economy is the foundation for farmers to become prosperous and an important guarantee for farmers to take the path of common prosperity. Third, it is necessary to adhere to Marxism, especially contemporary Chinese Marxism and Marxism of the twenty-first century, that is, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Adhere to a problem-oriented approach, face the “three rural” issues directly, go deep into rural areas to understand the situation, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers, and strengthen the education of farmers.

龚云围绕马克思主义与中国农业农村现代化提出几点思考和建议。一是要增强运用马克思主义理论指导中国农业和农村现代化的意识。马克思主义 “三农” 理论是做好相关工作的根本武器，坚持马克思主义指导才能明确现代化道路方向、助力乡村振兴。二是必须重视集体经济发展。集体经济是农民致富的根基，是农民走共同富裕道路的重要保障。三是要坚持马克思主义，尤其是当代中国马克思主义、二十一世纪马克思主义即习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想。坚持问题导向，直面 “三农” 问题，深入农村了解情况，充分调动农民积极性并加强农民教育。

The keynote reports were presided over by Professor Zeng Weizhong, member of the Party Committee of Sichuan Agricultural University, dean of the School of Economics, and director of the Western Rural Revitalization Research Center. Speeches were delivered respectively by Researcher Jin Wencheng, former director of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs; Professor Yang Jirui, honorary chair of the Chengdu Federation of Social Sciences; Researcher Yang Ying, president of the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences; Researcher Zheng Yougui, former director of the Second Research Office of the Institute of Contemporary China Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Professor Zhang Hui, dean of the School of Marxism of China Agricultural University; Professor Ji Zhigeng, vice chair of the Sichuan Provincial Association of Political Economy and professor at the School of Marxism of Sichuan University; and Professor Yan Hairong, from the Institute for Advanced Study in Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University, and the Department of Applied Social Sciences at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

主旨报告由四川农业大学党委委员、经济学院院长、西部乡村振兴研究中心主任曾维忠教授主持。农业农村部农村经济研究中心原主任金文成研究员，成都市社会科学界联合会名誉主席杨继瑞教授，四川省社会科学院院长杨颖研究员，中国社会科学院当代中国研究所第二研究室原主任郑有贵研究员，中国农业大学马克思主义学院院长张晖教授，四川省政治经济学会副会长、四川大学马克思主义学院纪志耿教授，清华大学人文与社会科学高等研究所兼社会学系、香港理工大学应用社会科学系严海蓉教授分别发言。

Jin Wencheng focused on analyzing five original contributions of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s theory on food security. First, establishing food security as

金文成重点分析了习近平总书记关于粮食安全理论的五个原创性贡献。一是将粮食安全确立为“国之大者”和国家安全之首的工作定位；二是提出我国粮食供求将长期处于“紧平衡”状态的形势判断；三是确立了“以我为主、立足国内、确保产能、适度进口、科技支撑”20字方针的战略部署；四是明确了我国粮食安全的七个重大举措，并构建了系统全面的粮食安全理论体系和政策体系；五是强调要坚持战略思维、辩证思维等科学思维方式的方法论。

Yang Jirui, starting from the two dimensions of history and reality, systematically expounded the inheritance, innovation, and development of the "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture" [1]1 The "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture" (农业八字宪法) refers to eight key factors for agricultural production — soil (土), fertilizer (肥), water (水), seed (种), density (密), protection (保), management (管), and tools (工) — promoted as a policy framework during the Great Leap Forward period (1958–1961) under Mao Zedong. in the New Era. He argued that the "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture" was proposed after the completion of the socialist transformation and is a concentrated embodiment of Mao Zedong Thought in the agricultural field. Entering the New Era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has inherited and innovatively developed the spirit of the "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture," putting forward the agricultural development goals of "high yield, high quality, high efficiency, ecology, and safety," and implementing them in the practice of agricultural modernization, including farmland protection, construction of high-standard farmland, and water conservancy projects. The inheritance of the "Eight-Character Constitution for Agriculture" in the New Era is not only a continuation of traditional experience but also an integrated development of institutional innovation, technological leadership, and industrial integration. Its fundamental goal is to achieve high-quality development in agriculture and ensure national food security.

杨继瑞从历史与现实两个维度出发，系统阐述了“农业八字宪法”在新时代的传承、创新和发展。他认为，“农业八字宪法”是在社会主义改造完成后提出的，是毛泽东思想在农业领域的集中体现。进入新时代，习近平总书记继承并创新发展了“农业八字宪法”的精神，提出“高产、优质、高效、生态、安全”的农业发展目标，并将其落实于耕地保护、高标准农田建设、水利工程等农业现代化实践中。新时代对“农业八字宪法”的传承，不仅是对传统经验的延续，更是制度创新、科技引领与产业融合的集成发展，其根本目标是实现农业高质量发展，确保国家粮食安全。

Yang Ying systematically expounded the generative logic, practical obstacles, and breakthrough priorities of advancing Chinese-path modernization through integrated urban-rural development. He argued that integrated urban-rural development is both a faithful adherence to and an innovation upon the Marxist theory of urban-rural relations, a theoretical distillation of the CPC’s century-long practical experience in urban-rural affairs, and a practical unfolding of the new development concept in the field of urban-rural relations; it is an inherent requirement and an important pathway for realizing Chinese-path modernization. Currently, urban-rural integration faces practical constraints such as a weak county-level economy, uneven allocation of factors, fractured industrial chains, and imbalanced public services. To address this, he proposed “four breakthrough priorities”: first, taking high-quality development of the county-level economy as the driving force to strengthen the linkage between new-type urbanization and rural revitalization; second, deepening market-oriented reform of factors and improving the mechanism for equal exchange of urban and rural factors; third, focusing on cultivating industrial integration carriers to enhance the synergy and added value of the urban-rural industrial system; and fourth, taking the actual needs of residents as the orientation to build an efficient, balanced, and intelligent public service supply system.

杨颖系统阐释了以城乡融合发展推进中国式现代化的生成逻辑、现实阻碍与突破重点。他认为，城乡融合发展既是对马克思主义城乡关系理论的守正创新，也是对中国共产党百年城乡实践经验的理论升华，更是新发展理念在城乡关系领域的实践展开，是实现中国式现代化的内在要求与重要路径。当前城乡融合面临县域经济薄弱、要素配置不均、产业链断裂与公共服务失衡等现实制约。为此，他提出“四个突破重点”：一是以县域经济高质量发展为牵引，强化新型城镇化与乡村振兴的联动；二是深化要素市场化改革，健全城乡要素平等交换机制；三是以产业融合载体培育为重点，提升城乡产业体系的协同性与附加值；四是以居民现实需求为导向，构建高效、均衡、智能的公共服务供给体系。

Zheng Yougui systematically explored the core issue of how, in the process of Chinese-path modernization, to ensure that the 400 million rural population is not marginalized and jointly advances toward modernization. He emphasized that General Secretary Xi Jinping has revealed the “two laws” of industrial and urban-rural development: the objective law that in the process of modernization, the proportion of cities rises while that of villages declines, and the objective law that, given China’s national conditions with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, no matter how far industrialization and urbanization progress, agriculture must develop, villages will not disappear, and cities and villages will coexist for a long time. On this basis, even if the urbanization rate reaches 70% in the future, hundreds of millions of people will still live in rural areas; these people must not be left behind by modernization, otherwise a situation of “prosperous cities, declining villages” would violate the essential requirements of socialism. Therefore, farmers must be enabled to participate equally in and share the fruits of modernization, ensuring their principal position. He pointed out that the perseverance and plight of left-behind farmers are a pain point in current urban-rural integration, and advocated advancing along multiple dimensions, especially emphasizing the important role of the New Era collective economy in rural public services, old-age security, and agricultural support. In addition, he also discussed the issue of collective action, noting that traditional Chinese villages have historical wisdom of mutual aid and cooperation; at present, it is necessary to establish the market principal status of the collective economy through institutional innovation, and, combining practices such as the “Ten Million Project” [2]2 The “Ten Million Project” (千万工程) refers to the “Thousand Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation” project initiated in Zhejiang Province in 2003, a large-scale rural environment improvement and development initiative., construct a theory of collective action in rural communities to assist rural revitalization and the modernization of farmers.

郑有贵系统探讨了在中国式现代化进程中，如何实现农村4亿人口不被边缘化、共同迈向现代化的核心问题。他强调，习近平总书记揭示了工农城乡发展的“两个规律”，即在现代化进程中，城的比重上升，乡的比重下降这一客观规律和在我国拥有近十四亿人口的国情下，不管工业化、城镇化进展到哪一步，农业都要发展，乡村都不会消亡，城乡将长期共生并存这一客观规律。在此基础上，即使将来城镇化率达70%，仍有数亿人口生活在农村，这些人不应被现代化落下，否则“城市繁荣、农村凋敝”的局面将违背社会主义本质要求。因此，必须让农民平等参与并共享现代化成果，确保其主体地位。他提出，留守农民的坚守与困境是当前城乡融合的痛点，并主张多维路径并进，尤其强调新时代集体经济在乡村公共服务、养老保障、农业支持等方面的重要担当。此外，他还探讨了集体行动问题，指出中国传统乡村有互助合作的历史智慧，当下需通过制度创新确立集体经济市场主体地位，结合 “千万工程” 等实践，构建农村社区集体行动理论，助力乡村振兴和农民实现现代化。

Zhang Hui systematically expounded the theoretical logic and practical pathways of “common prosperity for farmers and rural areas” as the core goal of agricultural-rural modernization. She argued that common prosperity for farmers and rural areas not only embodies the socialist essence of Chinese-path modernization but is also an important component of the goal of common prosperity for all the people, encompassing simultaneous prosperity in both material life and cultural-ethical life. Agricultural-rural modernization is both the fundamental means to achieve this goal and must adhere to the coordinated advancement of agricultural modernization and rural modernization, avoiding the structural imbalance of “prosperous cities, declining villages.” At the practical level, she proposed three key focus areas: first, strengthening the leadership of rural grassroots Party organizations, enhancing rural governance capacity, and promoting the development of the collective economy; second, highlighting the principal role of farmers and their endogenous development momentum, building a long-term mechanism to consolidate poverty alleviation achievements and link them with rural revitalization; third, accelerating the modernization of the agricultural management system, improving the rural land system and the agricultural socialized service system, promoting the effective connection between smallholder farmers and modern agriculture, facilitating the two-way flow of urban and rural factors and the value addition of the entire agricultural industry chain, so that farmers can truly share in modernization and development dividends.

张晖系统阐述了“农民农村共同富裕”作为农业农村现代化核心目标的理论逻辑与现实路径。她认为，农民农村共同富裕不仅体现了中国式现代化的社会主义本质，更是全体人民共同富裕目标的重要组成部分，涵盖物质生活与精神生活的同步富裕。农业农村现代化既是实现这一目标的根本手段，也需坚持农业现代化与农村现代化协同推进，避免“城市繁荣、农村凋敝”的结构性失衡。在具体实践层面，她提出三大着力点：一是强化农村基层党组织领导力，提升乡村治理能力，推动集体经济发展；二是突出农民的主体性与内生发展动力，构建长效机制巩固脱贫成果、衔接乡村振兴；三是加快农业经营体系现代化，健全农村土地制度与农业社会化服务体系，促进小农户与现代农业有效衔接，推动城乡要素双向流动和农业全产业链增值，让农民真正共享现代化与发展红利。

Ji Zhigeng analyzed the ideological foundation and theoretical construction of Chinese-path agricultural-rural modernization from multiple dimensions, including exploring the origins of civilization, tracing theoretical roots, and grasping the direction of the path. He argued that China’s villages are not only spaces of production but also life communities that carry Chinese civilization, possessing profound cultural value and spiritual connotation; compared with the Western city-centered modernization, Chinese-path agricultural-rural modernization should be rooted in farming civilization, achieving the organic unity of “farming affairs—farmers—villages.” Advancing agricultural-rural modernization must adhere to the Party’s overall leadership, proceed from a grand historical perspective, a grand political perspective, and a grand perspective on people’s livelihood, grasp the fundamental direction of the strategy for building a strong agricultural country, hold fast to the bottom line of food security, strengthen cultural confidence, and realize the creative transformation and sustainable development of farming civilization.

纪志耿从文明探源、理论寻根、路向把握等多个维度，分析了中国式农业农村现代化的思想基础与理论建构。他认为，中国乡村不仅是生产空间，更是承载中华文明的生活共同体，具有深厚的文化价值与精神内涵；相比西方以城镇为中心的现代化，中国式农业农村现代化应根植于农耕文明，实现“农事—农夫—乡村”的有机统一。推进农业农村现代化必须坚持党的全面领导，从大历史观、大政治观、大民生观出发，把握农业强国战略的根本方向，守牢粮食安全底线，坚定文化自信，实现农耕文明的创造性转化与永续发展。

Yan Hairong focused on “holistic productive forces” and analyzed the epochal limitations exposed by the household-based “small peasant” or “small herder” economic model in terms of resource fragmentation, ecological degradation, and lack of division of labor and cooperation. She argued that capital-dominated agriculture, due to its tendency toward biological and economic “simplification,” damages ecological, cultural, and social functions, making it difficult to realize the multifunctional value of agriculture. A village-based collective economy can effectively integrate natural and human resources, reconstruct community cooperation mechanisms, and form holistic productive forces that are highly embedded in “ecology—production—distribution—governance,” thereby breaking through the predicament of individualized agriculture.

严海蓉围绕“整体性生产力”展开，分析了以家庭为单位的“小农”或“小牧”经济模式在资源碎片化、生态退化、分工协作缺失等方面暴露出的时代局限性。她认为，资本主导的农业又因其生物与经济的“简化”倾向，损害了生态、文化与社会功能，难以实现农业的多功能价值。以村庄为基础的集体经济可以有效整合自然资源与人力资源，重构社区协作机制，形成“生态—生产—分配—治理”高度嵌合的整体性生产力，从而突破个体化农业的困境。

The keynote speech session was chaired by Professor Yang Shaolei, Secretary-General of the Sichuan Political Economy Society and a faculty member of the School of Marxism at Sichuan University. Speeches were delivered respectively by Peng Haihong, Researcher at the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Vice President and Secretary-General of the New-Type Collective Economy Research Branch of the Chinese Political Economy Society; Professor Yang Peng, Dean of the School of Marxism at Northwest A&F University; Professor Wang Feng, Vice Dean of the School of Marxism at Southwest University; Professor Song Chaolong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Dean of the School of Marxism at Peking University, and Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Marxism Research Branch of the China Higher Education Research Association; and Professor He Siyu, Dean of the School of Marxism at Sichuan Agricultural University.

主旨发言环节由四川省政治经济学会秘书长、四川大学马克思主义学院杨少磊教授主持。中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院研究员、中国政治经济学学会新型集体经济研究分会副会长兼秘书长彭海红，西北农林科技大学马克思主义院长杨鹏教授，西南大学马克思主义学院副院长王丰教授，北京大学马克思主义学院党委副书记、副院长、中国高等教育研究学会马克思主义研究分会副理事长兼秘书长宋朝龙教授，四川农业大学马克思主义学院院长何思妤教授分别发言。

Peng Haihong pointed out that the new-type rural collective economy is a new form of rural collective economy formed in the process of rural collective property rights system reform since the 18th National Congress of the CPC [3]3 The 18th National Congress of the CPC was held in 2012, marking the beginning of the New Era under Xi Jinping’s leadership.; its “newness” is reflected in five aspects: first, it has the characteristics of the New Era; second, it develops on the basis of the “three rights separation” system [4]4 “Three rights separation” (三权分置) refers to the separation of rural land ownership, contract rights, and management rights, a reform policy to facilitate land transfer and agricultural modernization.; third, it breaks egalitarianism by using shareholding to identify membership; fourth, its subject scope breaks through village-group boundaries and is more flexible; fifth, its operational mechanism highlights economic attributes to stimulate endogenous momentum. It has three major characteristics: first, the leadership of grassroots Party organizations is prominent; second, property rights are clear; third, forms of realization are diverse. Developing the new-type rural collective economy requires adhering to the Party’s overall leadership, deepening the reform of the property rights system, and innovating the factor supply mechanism.

彭海红指出，新型农村集体经济是党的十八大以来在农村集体产权制度改革过程中形成的农村集体经济的新形态，其 “新” 体现在五个方面：一是具有新时代特色，二是在“三权分置”制度基础上发展，三是以股权认定成员身份打破平均主义，四是主体范围突破村组界限更加灵活，五是运行机制突出经济属性激发内生动力。其有三大特征：一是基层党组织引领突出，二是产权明晰，三是实现形式多样。发展新型农村集体经济需坚持党的全面领导，深化产权制度改革，创新要素供给机制。

Yang Peng pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” work are a profound response, against the backdrop of the changes unseen in a century in the New Era, to the Party’s governing foundation, the overall situation of national development, and the general trend of social stability, reflecting the top-level design and strategic deployment for agricultural-rural modernization. These discourses are people-centered, highlight a problem-oriented approach, clearly take the realization of common prosperity as the fundamental goal, emphasize making “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” work the top priority of the entire Party’s work, and propose targeted poverty alleviation and the rural revitalization strategy as core starting points, systematically responding to practical difficulties such as China’s weak agricultural foundation, unbalanced urban-rural development, and low farmers’ income. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” work provide the fundamental guidance and action guide for advancing this work in the New Era; they must be deeply understood, systematically grasped, and comprehensively implemented.

杨鹏指出，习近平总书记关于“三农”工作的重要论述是在新时代百年变局背景下对党执政根基、国家发展全局和社会稳定大势的深刻回应，体现出对农业农村现代化的顶层设计和战略部署。这一论述以人民为中心，突出问题导向，明确以实现共同富裕为根本目标，强调把“三农”工作作为全党工作的重中之重，提出以精准扶贫与乡村振兴战略为核心抓手，系统回应了我国农业基础薄弱、城乡发展不平衡、农民收入偏低等现实难题。习近平总书记关于“三农”工作的重要论述为新时代推进“三农”工作提供了根本遵循和行动指南，必须深刻理解、系统把握并全面贯彻落实。

Wang Feng pointed out that the key to advancing the modernization of rural governance lies in solving the “micro-governance” problem, and the realization pathway is to deeply embed Party building work into the rural grassroots governance system, constructing a “one core, multiple dimensions, co-governance” model. In this model, rural grassroots Party organizations serve as the core force of governance, coordinating complex small-scale affairs through four major dimensions—ideological and political leadership, mass organization leadership, social behavior leadership, and institutional and technological leadership—to achieve the effective integration of self-governance, rule-of-law governance, and rule-of-virtue governance. He argued that the concept of flexible governance helps build consensus and activate the vitality of multiple subjects, while smart Party building and big data are important supports for improving governance precision and efficiency. Through political leadership, organizational embedding, and technological empowerment, rural Party building alliances can effectively activate micro-governance units, promoting the formation of a modern rural governance pattern of co-construction, co-governance, and shared benefits.

王丰指出，推进乡村治理现代化的关键在于破解“微治理”难题，而实现路径则是将党建工作深度嵌入乡村基层治理体系，构建“一核多维共治”模式。在这一模式中，乡村基层党组织作为治理的核心力量，通过思想政治引领、群众组织引领、社会行为引领以及制度与技术引领四大维度，统筹协调纷繁复杂的小微事务，实现自治、法治与德治的有效融合。他认为，柔性治理理念有助于凝聚共识、激活多元主体活力，智慧党建和大数据则是提升治理精度和效率的重要支撑。通过政治引领、组织嵌入、技术赋能，乡村党建联盟能够有效激活微治理单元，推动形成共建共治共享的现代乡村治理格局。

Song Chaolong pointed out that the theoretical guidance for agricultural-rural modernization should be rooted in the basic positions, worldview, and methodology of Marxist political economy. He emphasized that Western economics, based on empirical positivism, neglects class attributes and a holistic view of history, whereas Marxist political economy proceeds from the dialectical unity of nature, society, and humanity, attaching importance to the metabolic process between humans and nature, the socialization of labor, and its historical character. On this basis, agriculture cannot be simplistically classified as a traditional primary industry but should be incorporated into a more comprehensive system of social production for analysis. He argued that although the market plays an organizational role, its position should be subordinate to an organized socialist market economy system, with planning and organization playing a higher-level commanding role. Constructing an independent knowledge system is of paramount importance; the fundamental problem of current rural modernization lies in the failure to establish a Chinese independent knowledge system based on Marxism that possesses guiding force and integrative power. To solve rural problems, one must step outside the countryside itself and undertake reconstruction and guidance at the macro level of theoretical system, methodology, practical logic, and value orientation.

宋朝龙指出，农业农村现代化的理论指导应根植于马克思主义政治经济学的基本立场、世界观与方法论。他强调，西方经济学基于经验实证主义，忽视阶级属性和整体历史观，而马克思主义政治经济学则从自然—社会—人的辩证统一出发，重视人与自然的代谢过程、劳动的社会化及其历史性。在此基础上，农业不能简单被划分为传统意义上的第一产业，而应纳入更全面的社会生产体系中加以分析。他认为，市场虽具有组织作用，但其地位应服从于有组织的社会主义市场经济体制，规划和组织应发挥更高层次的统领作用。构建自主知识体系至关重要，当前农村现代化的根本问题在于尚未构建起以马克思主义为基础、具有指导力和整合力的中国自主知识体系。解决农村问题，必须跳出农村本身，从理论体系、方法论、实践逻辑和价值导向等宏观层面进行重构与引领。

He Siyu pointed out that the key to promoting the integration of new quality productive forces in agriculture with rural specialty industries lies in realizing digital transformation. She noted that traditional rural specialty industries suffer from problems such as organizational fragmentation, strong spatial dependence, and unitary value, which need to be broken through via digital technology to achieve cross-regional integration, industrial chain extension, and brand value enhancement. To this end, an integration mechanism centered on subject coordination, factor optimization, and value innovation should be constructed, platform-based organization, intelligent decision-making, and institutional innovation should be strengthened, resource allocation efficiency should be improved, the multiple values of rural areas should be activated, and a three-in-one digital transformation path of “delegation-connection-consolidation,” “subordination-integration-consolidation,” and “activation-penetration-foundation-building” should be promoted.

何思妤指出，推动农业新质生产力与乡村特色产业融合的关键在于实现数字化转型。她指出，传统乡村特色产业存在组织碎片化、空间依赖强、价值单一等问题，需通过数字技术打破瓶颈，实现跨地域整合、产业链延伸和品牌价值提升。为此，应构建以主体协同、要素优化和价值创新为核心的融合机制，强化平台化组织、智能化决策和机制创新，提升资源配置效率，激活乡村多元价值，推动形成“下放－打通－强基”“下层－融通-固本”“激活－贯通-筑基”三位一体的数字化转型路径。

The symposium set up eight sub-forums, where participating experts and scholars engaged in lively discussions on topics including “Research on General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Discourses on Agricultural-Rural Modernization,” “Marxism and Research on Agricultural-Rural Modernization,” “Research on Agricultural-Rural Modernization and Chinese-Path Modernization,” “Research on the Achievements and Experiences of China’s Socialist Agricultural-Rural Modernization,” “Research on Theoretical and Practical Issues of the New-Type Rural Collective Economy,” “Research on Further Deepening Agricultural-Rural Reform,” “Research on Innovation in the Rural Governance System Led by Party Building,” and “Research on Collectivist Education and Strengthening Rural Cultural-Ethical Progress.”

本次研讨会设置了8个分论坛，与会专家学者分别就“习近平总书记关于农业农村现代化重要论述研究”“马克思主义与农业农村现代化研究”“农业农村现代化与中国式现代化研究”“中国社会主义农业农村现代化的成就与经验研究”“新型农村集体经济理论与现实问题研究”“进一步深化农业农村改革研究”“党建引领乡村治理体系创新研究”“集体主义教育与加强农村精神文明建设研究”等议题展开热烈讨论。

The closing ceremony was hosted by Xia Shaoguang, Assistant Professor at the School of Marxism, Peking University, and Deputy Secretary-General of the Marxist Research Association. Representatives of each sub-forum delivered reports on their respective sessions, and Professor Song Chaolong delivered a concluding speech on behalf of the organizing unit.
