On April 17, the "Academic Seminar Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the CPC and High-Level Forum on the 40th Anniversary of the Founding of the Chinese Society for Historical Materialism" was held at Sichuan University, co-hosted by the Chinese Society for Historical Materialism, the Research Center for National Cultural Security and Ideological Construction of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Sichuan University, and organized by the Journal of Sichuan University (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition) and the School of Marxism of Sichuan University.

4月17日，由中国历史唯物主义学会、中国社会科学院国家文化安全与意识形态建设研究中心、四川大学联合主办，四川大学学报（哲社版）、四川大学马克思主义学院承办的“庆祝建党100周年学术研讨会暨中国历史唯物主义学会成立40周年高层论坛”在四川大学举行。

At the opening ceremony of the conference, Gao Zhongwei, Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, introduced the development of philosophy and social sciences in Sichuan Province and at Sichuan University. He argued that this forum is of great significance for further promoting our ability to continuously sum up experience, draw wisdom, grasp the general trends of the present and the future, and take the historical initiative from the Party's extraordinary century-long journey, the Party's original aspiration and founding mission, and the Party's spiritual lineage.

在大会开幕式上，四川省委宣传部副部长高中伟介绍了四川省和四川省哲学社会科学发展情况，认为这次论坛对于进一步推动我们从党的百年非凡历程、党的初心和使命、党的精神谱系中，不断总结经验、汲取智慧，把握当下和未来的大势，掌握历史的主动，具有十分重要的意义。

Professor Cao Ping, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Sichuan University and Dean of the School of Marxism, pointed out in his address that over the past century, our Party has, in every historical period, insisted on integrating the universal truths of Marxism with China's actual conditions. While promoting new breakthroughs, new achievements, and new accomplishments in the cause of the Party and the state, it has continuously advanced the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context and opened up new realms of Marxism with Chinese characteristics. Taking the theme "Viewing Changes Unseen in a Century from the Broad Perspective of the Party's Centenary" to celebrate the Party's centenary is of profound significance.

四川大学党委常务副书记、马克思主义学院院长曹萍教授在致辞中指出，一百年来，我们党在各个历史时期都坚持把马克思主义普遍真理与中国的实际结合起来，在推动党和国家事业取得新突破、新业绩、新成就的同时，不断推进马克思主义中国化，开辟中国化马克思主义新境界。以“建党百年之大视野 看百年未有之大变局”为主题来庆祝党的百年华诞，意义深远。

Professor Hou Huiqin, President of the Chinese Society for Historical Materialism and Director of the Research Center for National Cultural Security and Ideological Construction of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, emphasized in his address that there is an essential connection between Marxism and the Communist Party of China. It is necessary to adhere unwaveringly to the basic stance of Marxist fundamental theory, to the direction of integrating theory with practice, and to the revolutionary spirit of Marxism.

中国历史唯物主义研究会会长、中国社会科学院国家文化安全与意识形态建设研究中心主任侯惠勤教授在致辞中强调，马克思主义与中国共产党之间有着本质关联性，要坚持马克思主义基本理论的基本立场不动摇，坚持理论联系实际的方向不动摇，坚持马克思主义革命精神不动摇。

Subsequently, Professor Hou Huiqin delivered a keynote report titled "The Path of the CPC's Centenary Ideological Construction." He pointed out that, on the basis of consistently adhering to Marxism, the Communist Party of China has successively manifested four forms of ideology: ideology as a new type of revolution, ideology as the foundation of the state, ideology as reform construction, and ideology as approaching a finalized form. These four forms of ideology each have their own characteristics in terms of subject matter and ideological form. Professor Zhang Lei, Honorary Dean of the School of Marxism at Sichuan University, noted in his commentary that against the backdrop of changes unseen in a century, the Communist Party of China has led the people of the whole country to establish the foundation of the state, clarify the direction forward, continuously reshape the national image, integrate into the world, while not losing itself and adhering to its original aspiration.

随后，侯惠勤教授作了题为“中国共产党百年意识形态建设之路”的主旨报告。他指出，中国共产党在一以贯之坚持马克思主义基础上，先后表现出四种意识形态的样式，即作为新型革命的意识形态、作为立国之本的意识形态、作为改革构建的意识形态、作为臻于定型的意识形态。这四种样式的意识形态在议题对象上、思想形式上各有特色。四川大学马克思主义学院名誉院长张磊教授在点评中指出，在百年未有大变局的时代背景下，中国共产党带领全国人民使中国形成了立国之本、明确了前进方向，不断重塑形象、融入世界，又不迷失自我，坚守初心。

More than 200 experts and scholars in the field of historical materialism from universities, Party schools, and academic journals attended the on-site conference. This seminar and high-level forum adopted a combination of offline and online methods, expanding the participation, reach, and influence of the event, with the number of online participants exceeding 11,000.
