The Contemporary Expression of Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences

Lü Xinbin: The Contemporary Expression of Constructing an Independent Knowledge System for Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences

吕新斌：构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的时代表达

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party [1]1 A classical Chinese allusion from the Tang dynasty statesman Wei Zheng's memorial "Admonitions on the Ten Thoughts" (谏太宗十思疏), emphasizing the importance of securing foundations and sources. clearly proposed "constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences." This is a major and glorious strategic task entrusted by the Party Central Committee to the Chinese philosophy and social sciences community, and it is also the strategic goal for the development of China's philosophy and social sciences in the New Era. To achieve this strategic goal, we must take General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourses on philosophy and social sciences as our guide, and through further comprehensively deepening reform, continuously inject strong momentum into the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. On the new journey of the New Era, to focus on solving the institutional and mechanistic problems affecting the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences, and to focus on opening up broad prospects for the flourishing development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, we must firmly grasp the three underlying logics of fundamental direction, fundamental attitude, and fundamental path. These are both the basic requirements of the reform of the cultural system and mechanism and the basic requirements of deepening the reform of the philosophy and social sciences system and mechanism.

党的二十届三中全会明确提出“构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系”。这是党中央赋予中国哲学社会科学界重大而光荣的战略任务，也是新时代我国哲学社会科学发展的战略目标。实现这一战略目标，必须以习近平总书记关于哲学社会科学的重要论述为指引，通过进一步全面深化改革，为构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系持续注入强大动力。新时代新征程，着力解决影响中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系构建的体制机制问题，着力开辟中国特色哲学社会科学繁荣发展的广阔前景，必须牢牢把握根本方向、根本态度和根本路径三个底层逻辑，这既是文化体制机制改革的基本要求，也是深化哲学社会科学体制机制改革的基本要求。

Fundamental Direction: Upholding the Soul and the Root

根本方向：坚守魂脉和根脉

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "We must never abandon the soul of Marxism, and

习近平总书记指出，“我们决不能抛弃马克思主义这个魂脉，决不能抛弃中华优秀传统文化这个根脉。坚守好这个魂和根，是理论创新的基础和前提”。坚守魂脉和根脉理应也必然是以改革赋能中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系构建最为根本的方向性指引。

To hold fast to the soul vein, we must always uphold the guiding position of Marxism. Upholding the guidance of Marxism is the fundamental hallmark that distinguishes contemporary Chinese philosophy and social sciences from other philosophies and social sciences. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, and is the Marxism of contemporary China and the Marxism of the 21st century. Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, as its cultural chapter, provides a powerful ideological weapon and a scientific guide to action for doing a good job in propaganda, ideology, and cultural work on the new journey of the New Era and for shouldering the new cultural mission. Unswervingly using Xi Jinping Thought on Culture to guide the work of Chinese philosophy and social sciences, and consciously implementing this important thought throughout the entire process and in all aspects of philosophy and social sciences, is truly upholding and developing Marxism, and is holding fast to the soul vein. The Hebei provincial social science front holds fast to this soul vein, continuously studying deeply and thoroughly comprehending, continuously researching and elucidating, continuously propagating and popularizing, initiating and implementing the "New Era Theoretical Propaganda Integration and Innovation Project," making thorough theory thoroughly understood, making vivid thought vividly explained, truly using it to arm the mind, guide practice, and advance work.

坚守魂脉，就要始终坚持马克思主义的指导地位。坚持以马克思主义为指导，是当代中国哲学社会科学区别于其他哲学社会科学的根本标志。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是马克思主义中国化最新成果，是当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义。习近平文化思想作为其文化篇，为做好新时代新征程宣传思想文化工作、担负起新的文化使命提供了强大思想武器和科学行动指南。坚定不移用习近平文化思想指导中国哲学社会科学工作，自觉把这一重要思想贯彻落实到哲学社会科学全过程各方面，就是真正坚持和发展马克思主义，就是在坚守魂脉。河北省社科战线坚守这一魂脉，持续学深悟透，持续研究阐释，持续宣讲普及，启动实施“新时代理论宣讲融合创新工程”，把彻底的理论讲彻底，把鲜活的思想讲鲜活，真正用以武装头脑、指导实践、推动工作。

To hold fast to the root vein, we must always uphold inheriting and promoting fine traditional Chinese culture. For a tree to grow tall, its roots must be firmly planted; for a stream to flow far, its source must be dredged.[1]1 A classical Chinese allusion from the Tang dynasty statesman Wei Zheng's memorial "Admonitions on the Ten Thoughts" (谏太宗十思疏), emphasizing the importance of securing foundations and sources. It is precisely fine traditional Chinese culture that allows Chinese philosophy and social sciences, which began with the entry of Marxism into our country, to take deep root on Chinese soil, and the "Second Integration"[2]2 The "Second Integration" (第二个结合) refers to the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with fine traditional Chinese culture, as distinct from the first integration of Marxism with China's concrete realities. will inevitably enable the independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences to shine on the stage of world civilization. Hebei is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization and a fertile ground for the flourishing development of philosophy and social sciences. The Hebei Provincial Academy of Social Sciences strengthens cultural confidence, mobilizing the full strength of the academy and even the entire provincial social science community to initiate and implement the "Hebei Historical and Cultural Research Project," launching a batch of enduring classics, using Marxism to activate the precious heritage of fine traditional Chinese culture in Hebei and endowing it with new contemporary connotations.

坚守根脉，就要始终坚持继承和弘扬中华优秀传统文化。求木之长者，必固其根本；欲流之远者，必浚其泉源。正是中华优秀传统文化让以马克思主义进入我国为起点的中国特色哲学社会科学在中华大地上得以深深扎根，而“第二个结合”也必将推动中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系在世界文明舞台上绽放光芒。河北是中华文明的重要发祥地之一，是哲学社会科学繁荣发展的一片沃土。河北省社会科学院坚定文化自信，举全院乃至全省社科界之力启动实施“河北历史文化研究工程”，推出一批传世经典，用马克思主义激活中华优秀传统文化在河北的宝贵遗产并赋予其新的时代内涵。

To hold fast to the soul vein and the root vein, we must integrate them into the great practice of further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization. The actual form of philosophy and social sciences is the result of the integration and generation of various kinds of knowledge, concepts, theories, and methods from ancient to modern times and from home and abroad. The soul vein and the root vein, through inheritance, enrichment, and innovation, merge into the major thesis of the "Second Integration." The two have different origins but are highly compatible with each other. In this sense, the vast number of philosophy and social science workers are both steadfast believers and practitioners of Marxism and loyal inheritors and promoters of fine traditional Chinese culture. Advancing the building of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization is the main theme of the New Era. Further deepening reform comprehensively is the "crucial move" for taking a crucial step in this critical period. All fronts, including the social science front, should actively integrate into this great practice and strive to achieve something.

坚守魂脉和根脉，就要融汇于进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的伟大实践。哲学社会科学的现实形态，是古往今来各种知识、观念、理论、方法等融通生成的结果，魂脉与根脉在传承丰富创新中融汇成“第二个结合”的重大论断。二者来源不同但彼此高度契合，从这个意义上讲，广大哲学社会科学工作者既是马克思主义的坚定信仰者和践行者，又是中华优秀传统文化的忠实继承者和弘扬者。以中国式现代化推进强国建设、民族复兴是新时代的主旋律，进一步全面深化改革则是这一关键时期迈出关键一步的“关键一招”，包括社科战线在内的各条战线都应主动融入这一伟大实践而奋发有为。

Fundamental Attitude: Firm Confidence and Consciousness

根本态度：坚定自信和自觉

This is an era that needs theory and has already produced great theory; this is an era that needs thought and has already produced great thought. Situated in such a great era, constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences through further deepening reform comprehensively requires a more proactive spiritual posture. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has led the Chinese nation from spiritual initiative to even greater initiative, forging a path of spiritual independence that shines through the annals of history.

这是一个需要理论且已经产生伟大理论的时代，这是一个需要思想且已经产生伟大思想的时代。置身这样一个伟大时代，通过进一步全面深化改革，构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系，需要更加主动的精神姿态。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记带领中华民族从精神主动走向更加主动，走出了一条彪炳史册的精神自主之路。

To strengthen confidence, we must consolidate cultural subjectivity and uphold spiritual independence. Enhancing cultural confidence is the fundamental prerequisite and prior condition for deepening the reform of the cultural system and mechanism and constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Without a high degree of cultural confidence, without the flourishing and prosperity of culture, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."[3]3 Quoted from Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony of the 19th National Congress of the CPC on October 18, 2017. The key to cultural confidence lies in consolidating cultural subjectivity. Cultural subjectivity manifests an advanced direction, unique value, and rich connotation. With cultural subjectivity, cultural confidence can possess a powerful, broad, deep, and enduring foundation and support, and can radiate a more proactive, more splendid, and more robust spiritual force. The focus of cultural confidence lies in upholding spiritual independence. It must be firmly rooted in Chinese soil, integrating the Chinese path, Chinese governance, and Chinese principles into the spiritual temperament and cultural character of the entire nation.

坚定自信，就要巩固文化主体性、坚守精神独立性。增强文化自信，是深化文化体制机制改革、构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的根本前提和先决条件。习近平总书记指出：“没有高度的文化自信，没有文化的繁荣兴盛，就没有中华民族伟大复兴。”文化自信关键在巩固文化主体性。文化主体性彰显先进方向、独特价值、丰富内涵，有了文化主体性，文化自信才能拥有强大而广泛、深沉而久远的基础和依托，才能焕发出更为主动、更为绚丽、更为强劲的精神力量。文化自信重点在坚守精神独立性，必须牢牢植根中国大地，将中国之路、中国之治、中国之理融入全民族的精神气质与文化品格之中。

To strengthen consciousness, we must shoulder the new cultural mission with profound spiritual awareness. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of cultural consciousness, pointing out the need to enhance cultural consciousness, achieve cultural confidence, and reflect on cultural value. We must stand at the height of consciously shouldering the new cultural mission, clearly recognize that constructing an independent Chinese knowledge system is the fundamental task of accelerating the construction of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, clarify its basic features, identify its contemporary positioning, recognize its value and role, consciously take answering the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times as our academic responsibility, and actively engage in the construction of the independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences. We must root ourselves in the innovative practice of Chinese-path modernization, accelerate the construction of the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and continuously create new concepts, new categories, and new expressions. The Hebei Provincial Academy of Social Sciences has formed research directions with significant advantages both domestically and internationally in multiple areas, including research on the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, research on Xiong'an, research on Li Dazhao, research on Xibaipo, research on revolutionary culture, research on Yangming Studies and modern Confucianism, research on Northern Studies, and research on the Gaoyang stele inscriptions collection, striving to promote the development and innovation of independent knowledge theories in philosophy and social sciences, making every effort to create the "Good Voice of Hebei" in philosophy and social sciences, letting the world know about "Hebei in development," "Hebei in culture," "Hebei in academia," "Hebei in theory," "Hebei in philosophy and social sciences," and "Hebei, so close and so beautiful."

坚定自觉，就要以深透的精神觉悟担负起新的文化使命。习近平总书记多次强调文化自觉的重要性，指出要提升文化自觉，达到文化自信，观照文化价值。要站在自觉担负起新的文化使命的高度，清醒认识建构中国自主知识体系是加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学的根本任务，明晰其基本特征，找准其时代定位，认同其价值作用，自觉以回答中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问为学术己任，积极投身中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系构建。要植根中国式现代化的创新性实践，加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学学科体系、学术体系、话语体系，持续打造新概念、新范畴、新表述。河北省社科院在京津冀协同发展研究、雄安研究、李大钊研究、西柏坡研究、革命文化研究、阳明学与现代儒学研究、北学研究、高阳碑刻典藏研究等多个方面形成了在国内外有显著优势的研究方向，努力推动哲学社会科学自主知识理论发展创新，着力打造哲学社会科学“河北好声音”，让世界知道“发展中的河北”“文化中的河北”“学术中的河北”“理论中的河北”“哲学社会科学中的河北”“这么近那么美的河北”。

To strengthen confidence and consciousness, we must contribute China's strength to creating a new form of human civilization. Cultural consciousness is the premise and foundation of cultural confidence; cultural confidence is the maturity and sublimation of cultural consciousness. Chinese-path modernization, drawing on and absorbing all outstanding achievements of human civilization, represents the direction of progress in human civilization and is a completely new form of human civilization. To strengthen confidence and consciousness is to recognize that China is creating a new form of civilization that transcends Western capitalist civilization and traditional socialist civilization. Philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics must play a fundamental and leading main role in this process. We must integrate the independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences into the great process of Chinese-path modernization construction, serve and promote the Chinese nation in creating a new form of civilization, and provide "Chinese samples" and "Chinese solutions" for the development of all human civilization. In this sense, this is the lofty mission that the development of human civilization bestows upon the independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences.

坚定自信和自觉，就要在创造人类文明新形态中贡献中国力量。文化自觉是文化自信的前提和基础，文化自信是文化自觉的成熟和升华。中国式现代化，借鉴吸收一切人类优秀文明成果，代表人类文明进步的发展方向，是一种全新的人类文明形态。坚定自信和自觉，就要认识到中国正在创造超越西方资本主义文明和传统社会主义文明的新形态文明，中国特色哲学社会科学必须在其中发挥基础性、引领性的主体作用。要将中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系融入中国式现代化建设伟大进程中，服务和推动中华民族创造新形态文明，为全人类文明发展提供“中国样本”“中国方案”。从这个意义上讲，这是人类文明发展赋予中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的崇高使命。

Fundamental Path: Upholding Innovation and Creation

根本路径：坚持创新和创造

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC also designated the construction of an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences as one of the major measures for further deepening reform comprehensively, emphasizing the need to promote reform and innovation from a new starting point. The path is the method. Through further deepening reform comprehensively, the fundamental path for constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences lies in innovation and creation, allowing all sources conducive to innovation in philosophy and social sciences to flow fully, allowing all vitality conducive to creation in philosophy and social sciences to burst forth continuously, and innovating and creating without a moment’s pause.

党的二十届三中全会也将构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系作为进一步全面深化改革的重大举措之一，强调要在新的起点上推动改革创新。路径即方法。通过进一步全面深化改革，构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的根本路径就在于创新创造，让一切有利于哲学社会科学创新的源泉充分涌流，让一切有利于哲学社会科学创造的活力持续迸发，一刻不停地创新创造。

Innovation is the eternal theme of the development of philosophy and social sciences. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC revealed the characteristics of innovation through the “two daring to”: daring to say new words that predecessors have not said, and daring to do things that predecessors have not done. The “six adherences” major principles proposed by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee further elaborated the connotation of innovation: “promoting theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation, and innovations in all other aspects.” From the 20th National Congress’s deployment of “deeply implementing the Marxist theory research and development project” to the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee’s directive to “innovate the Marxist theory research and development project,” innovation, as the primary driving force, has been placed in a more prominent position and will inevitably run through the entire process and all fields of constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. Currently, there is an urgent need to use smoother scientific research institutions and mechanisms to promote more fervent theoretical and practical innovation and to build innovation platforms for philosophy and social sciences. The Hebei Provincial Academy of Social Sciences has

创新是哲学社会科学发展的永恒主题。党的二十大报告以“两个敢于”揭示了创新特质：敢于说前人没有说过的新话，敢于干前人没有干过的事情。党的二十届三中全会提出的“六个坚持”重大原则进一步阐释了创新内涵：“推进理论创新、实践创新、制度创新、文化创新以及其他各方面创新”。从党的二十大部署“深入实施马克思主义理论研究和建设工程”，到党的二十届三中全会指出“创新马克思主义理论研究和建设工程”，创新作为第一动力，被摆在了更为突出的位置，必将贯穿中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系构建各领域全过程。当前迫切需要以更加顺畅的科研体制机制推动更加火热的理论和实践创新，搭建哲学社会科学创新平台。河北省社科院深入贯彻落实习近平总书记重要要求，学习借鉴中国社会科学院先进经验做法，深入实施“哲学社会科学创新工程”2.0版，从经费管理、考核评价到团队管理、智力报偿逐项完善，以“该严的严到位”确保科研工作沿着正确方向前进，以“该放的放彻底”最大限度解放科研生产力。

Creation is the unremitting pursuit of philosophy and social sciences. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "Following others step by step not only makes it difficult to form a philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, but also fails to solve China's practical problems." We must clearly recognize that the great social transformation of contemporary China is unprecedented, and it is impossible to find ready-made textbooks. It is necessary to extract new theories with scholarly rationality from the practice of China's reform and development, to summarize new practices with regularity, and to strive to put forward civilizational samples that uniquely embody China's standpoint, China's wisdom, and China's value. It is necessary, with the spirit of "if you can become new each day, do so anew day after day, and again anew,"[4]4 A classical allusion from the *Commentaries on the Inscriptions on the Bathtub of King Tang of Shang* in the *Great Learning* (《大学》), emphasizing continuous self-renewal and improvement. to continuously create our own material civilization, political civilization, and cultural-ethical progress, so that the new culture formed through the "Integration" becomes the cultural form of Chinese-path modernization, creating an organic and unified new cultural life entity, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

创造是哲学社会科学的不懈追求。习近平总书记指出：“跟在别人后面亦步亦趋，不仅难以形成中国特色哲学社会科学，而且解决不了我国的实际问题。”我们应清醒地认识到，当代中国的伟大社会变革是前无古人的，不可能找到现成的教科书。必须从我国改革发展的实践中提炼出有学理性的新理论，概括出有规律性的新实践，着力提出独具中国立场、中国智慧、中国价值的文明样本。必须以“苟日新、日日新、又日新”的精神不断创造自己的物质文明、精神文明和政治文明，让经由“结合”而形成的新文化成为中国式现代化的文化形态，创造一个有机统一的新的文化生命体，建设中华民族现代文明。

Innovation and creation are generated and flourish within major epochal issues. The vitality and social value of philosophy and social sciences lie in focusing on the problems of the times, discerning the spirit of the times,凝聚共识 (凝聚共识)[5]5 A four-character idiom meaning "to build consensus" or "to pool common understanding," often used in Chinese political discourse to describe the process of uniting people around shared goals. of the times, and scientifically answering the major theoretical and practical issues arising from the development of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping's incisive exposition on the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, when implemented in the field of philosophy and social sciences, means that creative transformation requires, in accordance with the characteristics and demands of the times, transforming those connotations that still have reference value and their outdated forms of expression, endowing them with new contemporary connotations and modern forms of expression, and activating their vitality; innovative development requires, in accordance with the new progress and new developments of the times, supplementing, expanding, and perfecting the connotations of philosophy and social sciences, enhancing their influence and appeal. The two are unified in the strategic task of constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences. We must keep pace with the times, base ourselves on practical needs, actively innovate and create, and continuously advance knowledge innovation, theoretical innovation, and methodological innovation. To implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse on innovation and creation in philosophy and social sciences and the "Five News"[6]6 The "Five News" (五个新) refers to the five requirements proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping for Hebei Province: to strive for new achievements in promoting high-quality development, to achieve new progress in serving the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, to reach new levels in building an ecological civilization, to make new breakthroughs in improving people's livelihoods, and to present a new atmosphere in comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. overall requirements proposed for Hebei, the Hebei Provincial Academy of Social Sciences has initiated and implemented the "Hebei Center Think Tank Construction and Enhancement Project." Closely centering on major strategic deployments such as the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei pilot and demonstration zone and the high-standard, high-quality construction of the Xiong'an New Area, it integrates scientific research resources, precisely serves decision-making, produces effective and practical policy recommendations, and strives to achieve the alignment of Hebei's social science innovation and creation with the reform wave of the times and its resonance with Hebei's reform and development.

创新和创造生成并勃发于重大时代课题之中。哲学社会科学的生命力和社会价值，就在于聚焦时代问题、洞悉时代精神、凝聚时代共识，科学回答时代发展中的重大理论和实践问题。习近平总书记对中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展作出的精辟阐释，落实到哲学社会科学领域，创造性转化，就是要按照时代特点和要求，对那些至今仍有借鉴价值的内涵和陈旧的表现形式加以改造，赋予其新的时代内涵和现代表达形式，激活其生命力；创新性发展，就是要按照时代的新进步新进展，对哲学社会科学的内涵加以补充、拓展、完善，增强其影响力和感召力。二者统一于构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的战略任务之中。要紧跟时代步伐，立足现实需要，积极创新创造，不断推进知识创新、理论创新、方法创新。贯彻落实习近平总书记关于哲学社会科学创新创造的重要论述和对河北提出的“五个新”总体要求，河北省社科院启动实施“河北中心智库建设提升工程”，紧紧围绕京津冀先行区示范区建设、高标准高质量建设雄安新区等重大战略部署，整合科研资源、精准服务决策，推出顶事管用对策成果，努力实现河北社科创新创造与时代改革浪潮同向并行、与河北改革发展同频共振。

The tide of reform is rising, and it is time to beat the drum and hasten the march. To comprehensively implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and transform the strategic deployment for further comprehensively deepening reform into a powerful force for advancing Chinese-path modernization, we need to consciously use the Party's innovative theories to observe the times, grasp the times, and lead the times, striving to reveal the grand logic, grand trends, and grand achievements of comprehensively deepening reform in the New Era. Only when the direction is set and the framework is established can we ride the momentum and advance. The fundamental direction lies in providing guidance, solving the problem of the reform's banner; the fundamental attitude lies in taking responsibility, solving the problem of reform's steadfastness; the fundamental path lies in pioneering, solving the problem of reform's quality. These three are unified in the grand blueprint of constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences through further comprehensively deepening reform, and will surely propel our social science cause from one victory to another. With the banner held high, we should proceed with firm determination. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, holding high the cultural banner of the New Era, deeply rooted in the great practice of further comprehensively deepening reform, persisting in using Chinese principles to summarize Chinese experience and elevating Chinese experience into Chinese theory, we can use Chinese theory to interpret Chinese practice and use Chinese practice to enrich Chinese theory. Chinese philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics will inevitably usher in a brighter development prospect, and the independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy and social sciences will surely usher in a new era of comprehensive prosperity.

改革潮起正值击鼓催征。全面贯彻落实党的二十届三中全会精神，把进一步全面深化改革的战略部署转化为推进中国式现代化的强大力量，需要我们自觉运用党的创新理论观察时代、把握时代、引领时代，努力揭示新时代全面深化改革的大逻辑大趋势大成就。题定纲成方能乘势而进。根本方向重在引领，解决改革旗帜的问题；根本态度重在担当，解决改革定力的问题；根本路径重在开拓，解决改革成色的问题，三者统一于以进一步全面深化改革构建中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系的宏伟擘画中，必将推动我们的社科事业不断从胜利走向新的胜利。旗帜高擎自当笃定前行。以习近平文化思想为指导，高举新时代的文化旗帜，深深植根进一步全面深化改革伟大实践，坚持用中国道理总结好中国经验、把中国经验提升为中国理论，就能做到用中国理论解读中国实践、用中国实践丰富中国理论。中国特色哲学社会科学必然迎来一个更加光明的发展前景，中国哲学社会科学自主知识体系必将迎来一个全面繁荣的崭新纪元。

We firmly believe and have already seen that a "meticulous painting" depicting the most distinctive features and most magnificent landscape of contemporary China is slowly unfolding. A Chinese philosophy and social sciences system with Chinese characteristics, more charming, more vibrant, more solid and abundant, more proactive, more systematic, and more scholarly, is coming towards us, standing tall in the East of the world.

我们坚信并已看到，一张绘有当代中国最显著特征、最壮丽气象的“工笔画”正徐徐展开，一个更具中国魅力、更具改革活力，更为扎实丰盈、更为积极主动，更加体系化、更加学理化的中国特色哲学社会科学体系，正在向我们走来，屹立于世界东方。
