2025年6月21日，第十七届全国马克思主义院长论坛在南昌举办。本届院长论坛由中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院和南昌航空大学联合主办，主题为“党的创新理论体系化学理化”。中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院院长、党委副书记辛向阳，中共江西省委宣传部副部长龚剑飞，南昌航空大学党委书记李德平出席论坛开幕式并致辞。开幕式由南昌航空大学党委常委、副校长郭正华主持。

Xin Xiangyang pointed out that the National Forum of Marxist Deans has now spanned seventeen years, not only witnessing the vigorous development of Marxist research in China but also showcasing the latest research achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. It has become a strong bastion for studying, propagating, and researching Marxism. This forum focuses on the key theme of systematization and theorization of the Party’s innovative theory, which is of great significance and far-reaching impact. The systematization and theorization of theory reflect the height, depth, and thickness of theoretical innovation and are important markers of a theory’s gradual maturation. He expressed the hope that experts and colleagues would take this forum as an opportunity to strengthen exchanges, pool wisdom, deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, continuously enhance the understanding of the laws governing the Party’s innovative theory, and make due contributions to further deepening the systematic construction and theoretical elaboration of the Party’s innovative theory.

辛向阳指出，全国马克思主义院长论坛迄今已走过十七载，不仅见证了马克思主义研究在我国的蓬勃发展，更展现了马克思主义中国化时代化的最新研究成果，已成为学习宣传研究马克思主义的坚强阵地。本届论坛聚焦党的创新理论体系化学理化这一关键主题，意义重大，影响深远。理论的体系化学理化体现了理论创新的高度、深度和厚度，是理论不断走向成熟的重要标志。希望各位专家、同仁以本届论坛为契机，加强交流、集思广益，深入学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想，不断强化对党的创新理论的规律性认识，为进一步深化党的创新理论的体系化建构、学理化阐释作出应有贡献。

In his speech, Li Deping stated that Nanchang Hangkong University insists on using the Party’s innovative theory to forge souls and educate people, vigorously inheriting the red gene and promoting the spirit of serving the country through aviation. It persists in advancing the construction of ideological and political courses in tandem with the arming of the Party’s innovative theory, taking the lead in participating in the national comprehensive reform pilot zone for “grand ideological and political courses” in Jiangxi, which involves problem-based, thematic, and team-based teaching reforms, effectively promoting the integration of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the mind, heart, and actions. The holding of this forum will further deepen the understanding of the laws governing the Party’s theoretical innovation, deepen and expand the systematic construction and theoretical elaboration of the Party’s innovative theory, and has important demonstrative significance for the research and interpretation of the Party’s innovative theory by university Marxist colleges. We will cherish this opportunity, do our utmost to organize the conference affairs and provide logistical support, actively promote exchanges and cooperation with sister units, and strive to make greater contributions to advancing the systematization and theorization of the Party’s innovative theory.

李德平在致辞中表示，南昌航空大学坚持用党的创新理论铸魂育人，大力传承红色基因，弘扬航空报国精神。坚持思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进，牵头参与全国“大思政课”建设综合改革试验区江西问题式专题化团队教学改革，有效推动了习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想入脑入心入行。本届论坛的举办，将进一步深化对党的理论创新的规律性认识，深化拓展党的创新理论的体系化建构和学理化阐释，对于高校马克思主义学院研究阐释党的创新理论具有重要示范意义。我们将珍惜这一机会，全力做好会务组织和后勤保障工作，积极推动与兄弟单位之间的交流合作，努力为推进党的创新理论体系化学理化作出更大贡献。

Gong Jianfei pointed out that the holding of this forum is both an inevitable requirement for deepening the Party’s theoretical innovation and an urgent need for guiding development practice in the New Era. Jiangxi hopes to take this forum as an opportunity to unite the strength of the national theoretical community, deeply discuss the internal logical unity and theoretical originality of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and jointly promote the construction of a theoretical system framework with clear identifying concepts, thorough theoretical explanations, and rigorous logical layers; jointly explore the organic integration of the research achievements of the systematization and theorization of the Party’s innovative theory into the reform of ideological and political courses, textbook construction, classroom teaching, and social practice, transforming the depth of systematization and the thickness of theorization into an educational force that enlightens the mind and nourishes the soul, promoting talent cultivation in Marxist colleges to a new level, and cultivating more new-era individuals capable of shouldering the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

龚剑飞指出，本届论坛的举办，既是深化党的理论创新的必然要求，也是指导新时代发展实践的迫切需要。江西期待以此次论坛举办为契机，凝聚全国理论界力量，深入研讨习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想内在逻辑的统一性和理论发展的原创性，共同推动构建标识性概念清晰、学理性阐释透彻、逻辑层次严密的理论体系框架；共同探索将党的创新理论体系化学理化研究成果有机融入思政课程改革、教材建设、课堂教学、社会实践中，把体系化的深度与学理化的厚度转化为启迪心智、浸润灵魂的育人力量，推动马克思主义学院人才培养再上台阶，培养更多担当民族复兴大任的时代新人。

After the opening ceremony, Xin Xiangyang delivered a keynote report titled “The Systematization and Theorization of Marxism and the Historical Destiny of the Chinese Nation.” The systematization and theorization of Marxism have had three profound impacts on the historical destiny of the Chinese nation: first, Marxism’s profound and theorized view of China provided a sharp ideological weapon for the Chinese nation to achieve national liberation; second, Marxism’s profound and systematized view of civilization provided a powerful foundation for the Chinese nation to establish a modern form of civilization; third, Marxism’s systematized and theorized view of the times provides a powerful ideological weapon for advancing Chinese-path modernization. He emphasized that the systematization and theorization of Marxism are closely linked to the future and destiny of the Chinese nation. We must both study fundamental issues and pay more attention to practical problems, forming a situation where the two promote each other.

开幕式后，辛向阳作题为“马克思主义体系化学理化与中华民族的历史命运”的主旨报告。马克思主义体系化学理化对中华民族的历史命运产生了三个深刻影响：一是马克思主义深刻的学理化的中国观为中华民族实现民族解放提供了锐利的思想武器；二是马克思主义深刻的体系化的文明观为中华民族建立现代文明形态提供了强大基础；三是马克思主义体系化学理化的时代观为推进中国式现代化提供了强大的思想武器。他强调，马克思主义体系化学理化与中华民族前途命运紧密相连，我们既要研究好基础性课题，更要关注现实问题，形成两者互相促进的局面。
