The Distinctive Themes, Intrinsic Characteristics, and Construction Priorities of the Discourse System of Ideological and Political Education in the New Era

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Symposium on Philosophy and Social Sciences that “we must construct a disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system with our own distinctive features.” Among these, the discourse system, as the direct carrier and mode of dissemination of ideological theory, both bears the disciplinary system and represents the academic system, thereby highlighting the foundational and practical role of the discourse system. Ideological and political education, as an educational practice with Chinese characteristics and ideological attributes, has a discourse system that is both generally influenced by the development of the times, presenting distinct contemporary themes, and shaped by the inherent stipulations of ideological and political education itself, exhibiting intrinsic characteristics.

习近平总书记在哲学社会科学座谈会上强调，“构建具有自身特质的学科体系、学术体系、话语体系”，其中话语体系作为思想理论的直接载体和传播方式，既承载着学科体系，又表征着学术体系，更加凸显出话语体系的基础性和现实性作用。思想政治教育作为一项具有中国特色和意识形态属性的教育实践活动，其话语体系既受到时代发展的总体影响呈现出鲜明的时代主题，又受到思想政治教育自身的规定呈现出内在的特质。

I. The Distinctive Themes of the Discourse System of Ideological and Political Education in the New Era

一、新时代思想政治教育话语体系的鲜明主题

(A) The Discourse Theme of Rejuvenation Centered on the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation

（一）实现中华民族伟大复兴的复兴话语主题

The discourse system of ideological and political education in the New Era must closely revolve around the historical and contemporary discourse theme of rejuvenation. First, it must clarify the subject of rejuvenation. In the application of the discourse system of ideological and political education, it is necessary to shape and strengthen the shared role cognition and identity among different social members within a multi-ethnic nation. Second, it must answer the significance of rejuvenation. The discourse of ideological and political education must clearly explain that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of modern times and the most consensus-building development goal for the Chinese nation facing the future, using the fulfillment of the dream as a core symbol to exert appeal and cohesion. Finally, it must promote the concretization of rejuvenation, that is, presenting and expressing the theme of rejuvenation through more specific images, scenes, symbols, and physical objects. In the discourse system of ideological and political education, one must be adept at interpreting rejuvenation from the perspective of changes in people’s real lives, continuously enriching the discursive forms of rejuvenation, and further promoting the grounding and implementation of the rejuvenation theme.

新时代的思想政治教育话语体系要紧紧围绕复兴这一历史性、时代性的话语主题。首先要明确复兴的主体，在思想政治教育话语体系的运用上要形塑和强化多民族国家内不同社会成员共有的角色认知和身份认同。其次要回答复兴的意义，思想政治教育话语要讲清楚实现中华民族伟大复兴是近代以来最伟大的梦想、是中华民族面向未来的最具共识性的发展目标，以圆梦为核心标识发挥感召力和凝聚力。最后推动复兴的具象化，即将复兴这一主题通过更为具体的形象、画面、符号以及实物进行呈现和表达。在思想政治教育话语体系中要善于从人们的现实生活的变迁出发阐释复兴，不断充盈复兴的话语形态，进一步推动复兴主题的落地生根。

(B) The Discourse Theme of Education Centered on Strengthening Ideological-Political Guidance and Resolving Doubts and Confusions

（二）增强思政引领与解疑释惑的育人话语主题

Ideological and political education is fundamentally about helping to solve the fundamental question of what kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom to cultivate them. Under the conditions of the New Era, the environment, content, and methods of education have all undergone certain changes, requiring the discourse system of ideological and political education to adjust and develop while focusing on the theme of education. On the one hand, the ideological-political guidance role of the discourse system of ideological and political education must be strengthened. The construction of an educational powerhouse in the New Era is one of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which primarily requires strong ideological-political guidance to ensure the socialist orientation of schooling and to cultivate new generations capable of shouldering the great task of national rejuvenation. On the other hand, the role of the discourse system of ideological and political education in resolving doubts and confusions must be strengthened. It must be able to provide powerful answers and explanations for the related confusions of the discourse objects, including their own development issues, questions about the understanding of theory and institutions, and practical problems of social development. The focus is on persuading, educating, and guiding people on the basis of clearly explaining the principles, striving to achieve ideological clarification, spiritual relief, cultural satisfaction, and psychological decompression.

思想政治教育从根本上讲就是要帮助解决好培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人这个根本问题。在新时代条件下，育人的环境、内容和方法等都发生了一定的变化，都要求思想政治教育话语体系在聚焦育人主题下进行调整和发展。一方面，要增强思想政治教育话语体系的思政引领作用。新时代的教育强国建设是中国特色社会主义的教育强国，首要的是有强大的思政引领力，确保社会主义的办学方向和培养担当民族复兴大任的时代新人。另一方面，要增强思想政治教育话语体系的解疑释惑作用。要能对话语对象产生的相关困惑，包括自身的发展问题、对理论和制度的认识问题、对社会发展的现实问题等能够进行有力回答和解释，重点在把道理讲清楚的基础上说服人、教育人、引导人，努力实现思想上解惑、精神上解忧、文化上解渴、心理上解压。

(C) The Discourse Theme of Debate Centered on Contesting Discursive Power in International Communication

（三）在国际传播中争夺话语权的论争话语主题

Faced with increasingly expanded and complex international exchanges, there is an urgent need to contemplate the contemporary proposition of “what is to be done” for the discourse system of ideological and political education under the theme of discursive debate. On the one hand, the discourse system of ideological and political education must serve the Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system. As an important component of the Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, the discourse system of ideological and political education should leverage its advantages in interpreting Chinese practice, telling Chinese stories well, spreading Chinese voices, and displaying China’s image, applying the good experiences and methods from the practice of ideological and political discourse to international communication. On the other hand, the discourse system of ideological and political education must help dismantle Western discursive hegemony. The discourse system of ideological and political education itself must form a logically rigorous closed loop, firmly stand on the people’s standpoint of discourse, occupy the moral high ground, and leave no opportunity for Western discursive hegemony to exploit. At the same time, in the face of social opinion crises caused by Western discursive hegemony, the discourse of ideological and political education must provide timely responses and effective guidance, resolutely safeguard the security of mainstream ideology, and firmly grasp the leading power over public opinion.

面对日益扩大化、复杂化的国际交往，迫切需要在话语论争的主题下思考思想政治教育话语体系“何为”的时代命题。一方面，思想政治教育话语体系要服务于中国话语和中国叙事体系。思想政治教育话语体系作为中国话语和中国叙事体系的重要组成部分，要在解读中国实践、讲好中国故事、传播中国声音、展示中国形象等方面发挥优势，将思想政治教育话语实践中好的经验、方法运用到国际传播中。另一方面，思想政治教育话语体系要助推破除西方话语霸权。思想政治教育话语体系自身要形成一个逻辑严密的闭环，站稳话语的人民立场、占据道义的制高点，不给西方话语霸权以可乘之机。同时面对由西方话语霸权所引起的社会舆论危机，思想政治教育话语要予以及时地回应和有效地疏导，坚决捍卫主流意识形态安全，牢牢把握社会舆论的主导权。

(D) The Discourse Theme of Digital Intelligence Centered on Adapting to the New Round of Information Technology Revolution

（四）适应新一轮信息技术革命的数智话语主题

Algorithmic processing based on big data platforms and intelligent language models have shaped a completely new discursive environment, nurtured a completely new discursive system, and overall promoted the digital-intelligent transformation of discourse. On the one hand, it is necessary to grasp the basic patterns of the digital-intelligent transformation of the discourse of ideological and political education. This includes the spatial extension from real scenes to the interembedding of virtual and real domains, the discursive expression from single dominance to multiple interactions, the discursive delivery from passive reception to personalized and precise targeting, and the discursive presentation from reliance mainly on language and text to more three-dimensional and image-based forms. Only by grasping these patterns of transformation can technological empowerment, method innovation, and narrative optimization be better achieved. On the other hand, it is necessary to be vigilant about the practical risks of the digital-intelligent transformation of the discourse of ideological and political education. These include the risk of digital colonialism’s expansion impacting the dominance of the discourse of ideological and political education, the risk of the instrumental rationality of digital technology diluting the value orientation of the discourse of ideological and political education, and the risk of limited dissemination of the discourse of ideological and political education brought about by algorithm-based “dietary bias” and “stratification.”

基于大数据平台的算法处理和智能语言模型塑造了全新的话语环境、孕育了全新的话语系统，整体上推动了话语的数智转型。一方面，要把握思想政治教育话语数智转型的基本样态。包括了从现实场景到虚实场域互嵌的空间延展，从单一主导到多元互动的话语表达，从被动接受到个性化、精准化的话语投送，从主要依靠语言文字到更加立体化、图像化的话语呈现，等等，把握住了这些转型样态，才能更好地进行技术赋能、方式创新以及叙事优化。另一方面，要警惕思想政治教育话语数智转型的现实风险。其中既有数字殖民主义的扩张冲击思想政治教育话语的主导性风险，还有数字技术的工具理性淡化思想政治教育话语的价值性风险，更有基于算法的“偏食”与“圈层”带来的思想政治教育话语传播的有限性风险。

II. The Intrinsic Characteristics of the Discourse System of Ideological and Political Education in the New Era

二、新时代思想政治教育话语体系的内在特质

(A) Generative Characteristics Based on Reality, Subjectivity, and Knowledgeability

（一）基于现实性、主体性、知识性的生成特质

First, grounding in reality. The actual conditions of contemporary China are both the direct source of the discourse of ideological and political education and the most important practical foundation affecting its explanatory power, dissemination capacity, and influence. Separated from the actual conditions of contemporary China, the discourse of ideological and political education becomes water without a source and a tree without roots. Contemporary China is undergoing the most extensive and profound social changes in its history and is also carrying out the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history. The transformation of time and space, the needs of reality, and the development of practice all provide rich soil and broad space for the construction of the discourse system. In particular, the construction of the discourse system of ideological and political education must be placed within the vivid practice of Chinese-path modernization. Within the context and field of Chinese-path modernization, the discourse system of ideological and political education exhibits a strong concern for reality and a unique logic of development.

第一，立足现实性。当代中国的实际既是思想政治教育话语的直接来源，也是影响思想政治教育话语解释力、传播力、影响力最重要的现实依托。离开了当代中国的实际，思想政治教育话语就变成无源之水、无本之木。当代中国正在经历我国历史上最为广泛而深刻的社会变革，也正在进行人类历史上最为宏大而独特的实践创新，时空的转换、现实的需要和实践的发展都为话语体系的建构提供了丰富的土壤和广阔的空间。特别是要将思想政治教育话语体系的建构放置于中国式现代化的生动实践中，在中国式现代化的语境和场域中，呈现出思想政治教育话语体系强烈的现实关照和独特的发展逻辑。

Second, manifesting subjectivity. Subjectivity is a philosophical category, a characteristic possessed by the subject in relation to the object. Discourse must also have its own subjectivity. On the one hand, subjectivity is grasped within the national character of discourse. Generally speaking, language and discourse are always related to a specific nation, reflecting its history, culture, and spirit. There is no linguistic system or discourse system that can arbitrarily represent itself detached from a specific national subject. Therefore, the construction of the discourse system of ideological and political education in the New Era must be established on the basis of our own national language, history, and culture, and on the basis of the distinctive characteristics of Chinese civilization. On the other hand, subjectivity is embodied in the dominance of discourse. In discourse construction, whether dealing with traditional or foreign content, the principle of “taking ourselves as the mainstay and using it for our own purposes” must be adhered to.

第二，彰显主体性。主体性是一个哲学范畴，是与客体相对的主体所具有的特性。话语也必须有自己的主体性。一方面，在话语的民族性中把握主体性。普遍地看，语言、话语总是与一定的民族相关，反映着一定民族的历史、文化和精神，并不存在脱离一定民族主体而随意表征的语言系统和话语体系。因而，新时代的思想政治教育话语体系的建构一定是建立在我们民族自身的语言和历史文化基础上、建立在中华文明的显著特性基础上。另一方面，在话语的主导性中体现主体性。在话语建设中，不论是针对传统的还是外来的内容，都要坚持“以我为主，为我所用”。

Third, enhancing knowledgeability. First, the knowledgeability of practical discourse must be enhanced. Our Party has formed a wealth of experiential discourse in the practice of conducting ideological and political education. On the basis of summarizing experience, research on the experience itself must be further strengthened to elevate it into a systematic knowledge system. Second, the knowledgeability of theoretical discourse must be enhanced. Based on the scientific theory of Marxism, the knowledge-based achievements within the Party’s innovative theories must be fully explored, beneficial parts of other theories absorbed and referenced, and the discourse of ideological and political education continuously infused with sufficient scientific characteristics and truth attributes. Third, the dialectical unity of the knowledgeability and value-orientation of discourse must be grasped. The discourse of ideological and political education naturally carries political positions and value orientations. Emphasizing the knowledgeability of the discourse system does not mean reducing or abandoning its value-orientation, but rather exploring the organic integration of value-orientation and knowledgeability, embedding value guidance within knowledge transmission, so that the value orientation becomes more reasoned, well-founded, and effective.

第三，增强知识性。一是要增强实践话语的知识性。我们党在开展思想政治教育的实践中，已经形成了丰富的经验性话语，要在总结经验的基础上，进一步加强对经验本身的研究进而上升为系统的知识体系。二是增强理论话语的知识性。要立足马克思主义科学理论，充分挖掘党的创新理论中的知识性成果，吸收和借鉴其他理论的有益部分，为思想政治教育话语不断注入充足的科学特征与真理属性。三是把握话语知识性与价值性的辩证统一。思想政治教育话语天然地带有政治立场和价值导向，强调话语体系的知识性并不是要减少或是摒弃价值性，而是探索将价值性与知识性有机结合，寓价值观引导于知识传授之中，使得价值导向更为有理有据有效。

(B) Elemental Characteristics Based on Political Discourse, Academic Discourse, and Life Discourse

（二）基于政治话语、学术话语、生活话语的要素特质

First, political discourse occupies the core layer, reflecting class standpoints and social demands. For ideological and political education, which embodies the demands of a specific class and society, political discourse holds a central position, determining the nature, direction, and mission of such education. In constructing the discourse system, the building of political discourse must be continuously strengthened. On the one hand, the proletarian standpoint of political discourse must be upheld, fully reflecting the thoughts and will of the proletariat and the broad masses of the people, and firmly defending the leadership of discourse. On the other hand, the contemporary characteristics of political discourse must be highlighted. The connotations, styles, and features of political discourse differ across eras. It is necessary to base this on the New Era, promptly integrating the latest achievements of the Party’s innovative theory into political discourse, thereby enhancing its contemporary relevance and guiding power.

第一，政治话语居于核心层，反映着阶级立场和社会要求。对于体现一定阶级和社会要求的思想政治教育而言，政治话语在其中占据了核心地位，决定了思想政治教育的性质、方向和使命。在构建话语体系中，要不断加强政治话语建设。一方面要坚持政治话语的无产阶级立场，充分体现无产阶级和广大人民群众的思想和意志，牢牢捍卫话语的领导权。另一方面要凸显政治话语的时代性特征。不同时代下政治话语的内涵、风格和特征都有所不同，要立足新时代，及时将党的创新理论最新成果融入政治话语之中，增强政治话语的时代性和引领力。

Second, academic discourse occupies the intermediate layer, providing theoretical support and an interpretive framework. Academic discourse is the theoretical presentation and discursive expression of the essential understanding of things and objective laws. It can endow the discourse of ideological and political education with the power of truth and scientific explanation. For the construction of academic discourse in ideological and political education, the most important task is to reveal and grasp the social reality of China in the New Era, and to propose a framework rich in explanatory power based on the fundamental theories of Marxism. Against the backdrop of the New Era, the goal is to build a discourse system that can reflect the core connotations, concepts, and categories of Chinese-path modernization, along with the discourses that carry them. At the same time, within the specific process of ideological and political education, through scientific research, the empirical discourse of ideological and political education should be condensed into theoretical discourse, forming a series of landmark achievements, original concepts, and academic expressions. These then serve as the intermediate layer, effectively supporting both political discourse and life-world discourse.

第二，学术话语居于中间层，提供着理论支撑与解释框架。学术话语是对事物本质认识和客观规律的理论呈现和话语表达，能够为思想政治教育话语赋予真理性力量和科学性解释。对于思想政治教育学术话语的建设而言，最为重要的就是揭示和切中新时代中国的社会现实，并基于马克思主义基本理论提出富有解释力的框架。在新时代的背景下，就是要致力于打造能够反映中国式现代化的核心内涵、概念、范畴以及承载它们的话语体系。同时，具体到思想政治教育过程中，要通过科学研究，将思想政治教育的经验性话语凝练为理论性话语，形成一系列标识性成果、原创性概念、学术性表达，进而作为中间层有效支撑起政治话语和生活话语。

Third, life-world discourse occupies the explicit layer, serving as the discursive expression connected to daily life. Life-world discourse is the discursive expression and vivid manifestation of people in their daily lives and life-worlds. The entire meaning of life-world discourse derives from the richness of daily life, and in turn, through its specific discursive forms, it promotes the construction of a life-world that is more conducive to effective communication, more standardized, and more meaningful. For ideological and political education, the richness of people’s daily lives in the New Era determines the richness of its discourse. Paying attention to life-world discourse itself is also paying attention to daily life. This involves using everyday, colloquial language to conduct values education, presenting political and academic discourse in a more vivid manner, and realizing the return of educational language to the life-world. At the same time, it is necessary to skillfully integrate specific content of ideological and political education into people’s daily lives, achieving the effect of values education that “moistens things silently” and is “used daily without conscious awareness.” [4]4 “Moistens things silently” (润物无声) is a classical Chinese poetic allusion, from Du Fu’s poem “Happy Rain on a Spring Night,” describing the subtle, imperceptible influence of education. “Used daily without conscious awareness” (日用而不自觉) is a phrase from the Book of Changes (Yijing), referring to principles or practices that people follow in daily life without explicit reflection.

第三，生活话语居于外显层，是与日常生活相连的话语表达。生活话语是人们在日常生活和生活世界的话语表达和鲜活体现，生活话语的全部意义来源于丰富多彩的日常生活，又以其特定的话语形式推动构建更能有效沟通、更具规范化、意义化的生活世界。对于思想政治教育而言，新时代人们日常生活的丰富性决定了其话语的丰富性，关注生活话语本身也是关注日常生活，既用日常化的、生活化的语言来进行价值观的教育，将政治话语、学术话语进行更为生动的呈现，实现教育语言向生活世界的回归。同时，又要善于把特定的思想政治教育内容融入人们的日常生活中，达到价值观教育“润物无声”“日用而不自觉”功效。

(III) Transformative Characteristics Based on Theorization, Popularization, and Interest

（三）基于学理化、通俗化、趣味化的转化特质

First, the theorization of political discourse. The theorization of political discourse is concentrated in “using scholarship to discuss politics,” articulating the principles, facts, reasoning, emotions, and philosophy behind political discourse, and explaining China’s path, China’s governance, and China’s logic in the form of theoretical principles and knowledge. It is necessary to effectively advance the theorization of political discourse, using the universal truths of Marxism and Marxism that has been adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times to profoundly explain and answer the questions of China, the world, the people, and the era. Efforts should be made to achieve a positive interaction between political discourse and academic discourse, presenting political discourse to people in a way that better “explains principles” and “presents facts,” thereby enhancing the theoretical power, explanatory power, and persuasive power of political discourse.

第一，政治话语的学理化。政治话语的学理化集中表现在“用学术讲政治”，讲出政治话语背后的道理、事理、学理、情理与哲理，以学理的形态、知识的方式阐释好中国之路、中国之治和中国之理。要切实推进政治话语的学理化，用马克思主义的普遍真理和中国化时代化的马克思主义深刻解释和回答中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问。努力实现政治话语与学术话语之间的良性互动，将政治话语更好地以“讲道理”“摆事实”的方式呈现在人们面前，增强政治话语的理论力、解释力和说服力。

Second, the popularization of academic discourse. Academic discourse has a natural advantage in reasoning, but it must also avoid being completely suspended above practice and manifesting as purely speculative discourse. Therefore, the popularization of academic discourse should be promoted, especially by converting its profound and obscure parts into simple and clear language. This conversion takes two forms. The first is partial conversion, which involves providing popular explanations for some difficult or specialized terms within academic discourse. The second is comprehensive conversion, which directly converts the entirety of academic discourse into popular discourse, expressing it in a way that people can understand and readily accept. It should be noted that both forms of popularization are based on a profound understanding and skilled application of theory.

第二，学术话语的通俗化。学术话语在说理的方面具有天然优势，但也要避免其完全悬浮于实践之上、表现为纯粹的思辨话语。因而，要推进学术话语的通俗化，特别是将其中深奥晦涩的部分转换为简单明了的语言。这种转换有两种情况，其一是局部性转换，即对学术话语中部分难懂词汇、专有词汇进行通俗性的解释。其二是全面性转换，即直接将学术话语整体转换为通俗性话语，以人们能理解、易接受的话语方式表达出来。需要指出的是，无论哪种通俗化的方式都是建立在对理论的深刻理解和娴熟运用基础之上。

Third, the interest-oriented transformation of life-world discourse. As the discursive expression closest to daily life, life-world discourse plays an important role in implicit ideological and political education. However, it may also suffer from insufficient appeal, weak interest, and lack of attention due to being overly plain. Therefore, a certain degree of interest-oriented transformation of life-world discourse is necessary. This transformation can rely primarily on the following three methods. The first is the storytelling method, where telling stories enhances interest and vividness—a basic method of ideological and political education discourse. The second is the analogy and metaphor method, which uses clever rhetoric to enhance the imagery and appeal of discourse. The third is the buzzword method, which, after screening and selecting buzzwords, organically integrates them into life-world discourse to enhance its freshness, attractiveness, and humor.

第三，生活话语的趣味化。生活话语作为最贴近日常生活的话语表达，发挥着隐性思想政治教育的重要作用，同时也可能因为过于平淡而导致吸引力不足、兴趣感不强、关注度不够的情况。因而，需要对生活话语进行一定程度的趣味化转换。这种趣味化的转换重点可以依托以下三种方法。其一是故事法，通过讲故事来增强趣味性、生动性是思想政治教育话语的基本方式。其二是论喻法，即用巧妙的修辞来增强话语的形象化和感染力。其三是热词法，通过对热词进行甄别、选择后，有机融入生活话语中，提升生活话语的新鲜感、吸引力和幽默力。

III. Construction Priorities of the Discourse System for Ideological and Political Education in the New Era

三、新时代思想政治教育话语体系的建构重点

(I) Strengthening the Value Orientation of the Discourse System in Upholding Mainstream Ideology

（一）在坚持主流意识形态中强化话语体系的价值导向

First, the guiding position of Marxism in the discourse system must be consolidated. History and practice have both proven that having the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is fundamental for our Party to innovate discourse theory, advance discourse practice, and achieve discursive effects. Only by adhering to Marxism can the direction of ideological construction and the support of truthful power within the discourse system be ensured. Second, the basic orientation of a people-centered discourse system must be upheld. The construction of all discourses and their systems always represents the standpoint, concepts, and values of a specific class. It is essential to firmly adhere to a people-centered approach, speaking from the standpoint of the people, speaking on behalf of the people, and speaking in the language of the people, continuously enabling discourse to let “ideas grasp the masses.” [5]5 “Ideas grasp the masses” is a reference to Marx’s dictum in the “Introduction” to A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right: “Theory becomes a material force once it has gripped the masses.” Third, the construction of a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and guiding power must be promoted. Ideological discourse, in its speech practice, shapes the thoughts, concepts, and behavioral habits of social members, fostering understanding, recognition, and identification with a certain value system, thereby confirming the subject’s identity under specific social conditions. The ultimate goal of constructing the discourse system for ideological and political education in the New Era is to enable more and more people to recognize and identify with socialist ideology, further strengthening mainstream values, mainstream public opinion, and mainstream culture, and broadly mobilizing people to devote themselves to the great practice of the New Era.

第一，要巩固马克思主义在话语体系中的指导地位。历史和实践都已证明，拥有马克思主义科学理论的指导，是我们党创新话语理论、推进话语实践、取得话语效果的根本所在。只有坚持马克思主义，才能保证话语体系的意识形态建设方向、真理性的力量支撑。第二，坚持以人民为中心的话语体系的基本导向。一切话语及其体系的建构总是代表着一定阶级的立场、观念和价值。要牢牢坚持以人民为中心，站在人民群众的立场说话、替人民群众说话、用人民群众的话说话，不断通过话语让“思想掌握群众”。第三，推动建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态。意识形态话语在言说实践中塑造社会成员的思想观念和行为习惯，形成对某种价值体系的理解、认可和认同，进而确认在一定社会条件下的主体身份。新时代思想政治教育话语体系建设的最终目的就是要使越来越多的人认可和认同社会主义意识形态，进一步壮大主流价值、主流舆论、主流文化，广泛动员投身新时代的伟大实践。

(II) Consolidating the Theoretical Foundation of the Discourse System in Building an Independent Knowledge System

（二）在建设自主知识体系中夯实话语体系的理论基础

First, the originality of the discourse system should be enhanced through endogenous knowledge production. The production of endogenous knowledge in ideological and political education must address important practical issues in the process of ideological and political education theory and practice. This includes both political education and ideological construction at the national level, as well as moral education and value guidance at the individual level. These issues should be subjected to specialized, systematic theoretical research to form endogenous knowledge production. Second, the explanatory power of the discourse system should be enhanced through landmark knowledge achievements. The goal of endogenous knowledge production is to form landmark knowledge achievements. For example, regarding the major proposition of Chinese-path modernization, theoretical discussions on its connotations, characteristics, and advantages should be conducted within the discipline of ideological and political education, forming a set of landmark, highly explanatory knowledge achievements in ideological and political education to better explain, promote, and advance Chinese-path modernization. Third, the dialogic capacity of the discourse system should be enhanced through diverse knowledge exchanges. The construction of the discourse system for ideological and political education in the New Era should fully tap into the knowledge resources of Marxist theory, the knowledge resources of fine traditional Chinese culture, and reasonably draw upon beneficial resources from Western theories. This will continuously consolidate its own knowledge foundation, enhance the dialogic capacity of the discourse system, and break free from the Western hegemonic knowledge system and discourse system based on Eurocentrism.

第一，在内源性知识生产中增强话语体系的原创力。思想政治教育内源性知识的生产要回答思想政治教育理论与实践过程中的重要现实问题，既包括了国家层面的政治教育和意识形态建设，也包括了个体层面的道德教育和价值引领，并将这些问题诉诸专业化、系统化的理论研究进而形成内源性的知识生产。第二，在标识性知识成果中增强话语体系的解释力。内源性知识的生产的目标是要形成标识性的知识成果。例如针对中国式现代化这一重大命题，要在思想政治教育学科内对中国式现代化内涵、特征、优势等进行学理探讨，形成一套标识性的、富有解释力的思想政治教育知识成果，更好地解释、推广、促进中国式现代化。 第三，在多元性知识交往中增强话语体系的对话力。新时代思想政治教育话语体系的建构要充分挖掘马克思主义理论的知识资源、中华优秀传统文化的知识资源以及合理借鉴西方理论的有益资源，不断夯实自身的知识基础，提升话语体系的对话能力，摆脱建立在欧洲中心主义基础上的西方优势知识体系和话语体系。

(III) Strengthening the Content Support of the Discourse System through World-Renowned Achievements

（三）在举世瞩目成就中加强话语体系的内容支撑

First, the objective facts of development must be clearly articulated through discourse. Since reform and opening up, and especially since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, socialism with Chinese characteristics has achieved accomplishments that have attracted worldwide attention. In the discourse of ideological and political education, these objective facts of development should be distinctly presented, transforming the content of development into the content of discourse. Second, the reasoning behind development must be clearly explained through discourse. The discourse of ideological and political education should organically combine "presenting facts" with "explaining principles," using facts to support principles and employing principles to interpret facts. In particular, it must clearly explain the reasoning behind the world-renowned achievements—namely, that "Marxism works" and that "Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times works." Third, the advantages of development must be transformed into advantages in discourse. The discourse system for ideological and political education in the New Era urgently needs to be supported by these world-renowned achievements, elevating China's development and China's experience into a universal conceptual system and knowledge paradigm. On the basis of solid evidence and sound reasoning, it must both forcefully counter Western discursive incursions and expand the influence and communicative power of its own discourse.

第一，要通过话语讲清楚发展的客观事实。改革开放以来特别是党的十八大以来，中国特色社会主义取得了举世瞩目的成就，在思想政治教育话语中要鲜明地呈现出这些发展的客观事实，将发展的内容转化为话语的内容。第二，要通过话语讲清楚发展背后的道理。思想政治教育的话语要将“摆事实”与“讲道理”有机结合起来，以事实支撑道理，用道理来诠释事实，特别是讲清楚举世瞩目成就背后的“马克思主义行”“中国化时代化马克思主义行”的道理。第三，要将发展的优势转变为话语的优势。新时代的思想政治教育话语体系迫切需要以举世瞩目的成就为支撑，将中国的发展、中国的经验进一步上升为普遍性的概念体系和知识范式，在有理有据的基础上既有力回击西方的话语入侵，又扩大自身话语的影响力和传播力

(4) Drawing Cultural Nourishment for the Discourse System from the Inheritance of Chinese Civilization

（四）在传承中华文明中汲取话语体系的文化滋养

First, excavate discursive nutrients from civilizational elements. Chinese civilization embodies many important elements of China's excellent traditional culture, many aspects of which can be applied to the discourse of ideological and political education. For example, the ancient Chinese emphasis on moral cultivation and self-cultivation is highly compatible with the goal of ideological and political education to foster virtue and nurture talent [6]6 The phrase "foster virtue and nurture talent" (立德树人) is a key principle in Chinese education policy, emphasizing moral character formation as the foundation of talent cultivation.; the Confucian ethical concepts of "all under heaven" and the unity of family and state are in the same lineage as the spirit of patriotism; and the mode of thinking that values harmony and integration [7]7 "Harmony and integration" (尚和合) refers to a traditional Chinese philosophical orientation that prioritizes harmony, synthesis, and the reconciliation of differences over confrontation and opposition. differs fundamentally from the Western atomistic mode of thinking based on opposition.

第一，在文明元素中挖掘话语养分。中华文明集中体现了中华优秀文化中的诸多重要元素，很多方面都可以运用到思想政治教育话语中，例如中国古人强调的崇德修身与思想政治教育立德树人目标高度契合，儒家伦理中的天下观念、家国一体与爱国主义精神一脉相承，尚和合的思维方式与西方原子式对立思维方式的本质差异。

Second, enhance discursive confidence through civilizational confidence. Civilizational confidence encompasses two important dimensions: first, confidence in Chinese civilization—confidence in the historical status and contemporary value of Chinese civilization; second, confidence in the new form of human civilization—confidence in the modern human civilization created by Chinese-path modernization as it faces the future. Therefore, whether in the past, present, or future, civilization should and has reason to be confident.

第二，在文明自信中增强话语自信。文明自信包含了两个维度的重要内容，一是对中华文明的自信，是对中华文明的历史地位和当代价值的自信；二是对人类文明新形态的自信，是对中国式现代化创造的人类现代文明在面向未来中的自信。因而，不论是在过去、现代还是未来，文明都应当自信也有理由自信。

Third, promote the mutually reinforcing construction of civilization and discourse. Chinese civilization provides cultural nourishment and civilizational confidence for the discourse system of ideological and political education. In turn, the discourse system of ideological and political education, through the dissemination of concepts, paradigms, and values, can release the power of discourse, knowledge, and spirit, further strengthening identification, consolidating consensus, and promoting development, thereby helping to create a new situation for Chinese-path modernization and the modern development of Chinese civilization.

第三，推进文明与话语的同向互建。中华文明为思想政治教育话语体系提供了文化滋养和文明自信，思想政治教育话语体系则能够通过概念、范式和价值的传播，释放话语、知识和精神的力量，进一步增强认同、凝聚共识、推动发展，助力开创中国式现代化、中华文明现代发展的新局面。
