Using Red Resources with High Quality by Following the Third Historical Resolution

周云:以第三个历史决议为遵循高质量用好红色资源

· · General Research · "Mao Zedong Thought Study" 2025, no. 5 · 17 min read

The “Regulations on the Work of Party History Study and Education” clearly state: “Make good use of red resources such as revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs’ memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites; protect and utilize revolutionary cultural relics; carefully design exhibitions, red tourism routes, and study experience routes; strengthen education in revolutionary traditions, patriotism, and ideological morality.” [1]1 The “Regulations on the Work of Party History Study and Education” (党史学习教育工作条例) were issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in February 2024 to standardize and promote Party history education. The prerequisite for using red resources well is to ensure their political nature and scientific character. On how to achieve this, the “Regulations on the Work of Party History Study and Education” also propose that Party history study and education must “conscientiously study the ‘Resolution on Certain Historical Questions,’ the ‘Resolution on Certain Historical Questions of the Party since the Founding of the People’s Republic of China,’ and the ‘Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century’; study the important expositions on Party history by Comrades Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao; study General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions and directive requirements on Party history; and understand and grasp the Party Central Committee’s latest formulations, evaluations, and conclusions on Party history.” [2]2 These are the three official historical resolutions of the CPC: the first (1945) on Party history up to that point, the second (1981) evaluating the Mao era and the Cultural Revolution, and the third (2021) summarizing the Party’s first century. This points to the fundamental guidelines for the protection, development, and utilization of red resources, and is also a major proposition in Party history study and education: the protection, development, and utilization of red resources must adhere to the correct political direction and must ensure the accuracy and seriousness of historical facts. In the specific implementation process, strict alignment should be made with the Party’s three historical resolutions and the Party leaders’ important expositions on Party history throughout the years, especially Xi Jinping’s important expositions and directive requirements on Party history. Among these, aligning with the three historical resolutions and maintaining consistency with the Party’s historical resolutions is particularly important. The third historical resolution, due to its contemporaneity and comprehensiveness, should become the main basis in the work of using red resources well.

《党史学习教育工作条例》明确指出:“用好革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址等红色资源,保护利用好革命文物,精心设计展览陈列、红色旅游线路、学习体验线路,加强革命传统教育、爱国主义教育、思想道德教育。”用好红色资源,前提是要确保红色资源的政治性和科学性。如何才能做到这一点,《党史学习教育工作条例》同时也提出,党史学习教育要“认真学习《关于若干历史问题的决议》《关于建国以来党的若干历史问题的决议》《中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议》,学习毛泽东同志、邓小平同志、江泽民同志、胡锦涛同志关于党史的重要论述,学习习近平总书记关于党史的重要论述和指示要求,理解和把握党中央关于党史的最新表述、评价和结论”,这就指出了红色资源的保护、开发和利用的根本遵循,同时也是党史学习教育中的一个重大命题,即红色资源的保护、开发和利用必须坚持正确的政治方向,必须保证史实的准确性和严肃性。在具体实施过程中,就应该严格对标党的三个历史决议,以及党的领导人历来关于党史的重要论述,特别是习近平关于党史的重要论述和指示要求。这其中,对标三个历史决议,与党的历史决议保持一致,尤为重要。而第三个历史决议,因其时代性、全面性,在利用好红色资源的工作中,更应该成为主要的依据。

On November 11, 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deliberated and adopted the “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century” (hereinafter referred to as the “Historical Resolution”). [3]3 The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee was a major Party meeting held in November 2021 that adopted the third historical resolution. The Historical Resolution reviews the glorious history of the CPC’s century-long struggle, summarizes the major achievements and historical experience of the Party’s century-long struggle, and is a programmatic document of Marxism. Against the backdrop of the CPC leading the entire nation to fully embark on the new journey of building a modern socialist power, the adoption of the Historical Resolution is of great significance. When discussing the “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century,” Xi Jinping pointed out: “The resolution comprehensively summarizes the Party’s emphasis on conducting Party history study and education throughout the century-long struggle, emphasizing that the entire Party must adhere to historical materialism and a correct view of Party history, understand from the Party’s century-long struggle why we succeeded in the past and how we can continue to succeed in the future, thereby more firmly and consciously fulfilling our original aspiration and founding mission, and better upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era.” [4]4 “Original aspiration and founding mission” (初心使命) refers to the Party’s stated founding goal of serving the people and achieving national rejuvenation. Using red resources well is an important way to carry out Party history study and education and to enable the broad masses of the people to understand the Party’s history of founding undertakings, revolution, struggle, as well as revolutionary traditions and spirit, as led by our Party. Therefore, implementing the spirit of the Historical Resolution in the work of using red resources well is an inescapable responsibility. This article aims to explore, in the work of using red resources well in the New Era, how to actively align with the Historical Resolution, grasp the direction, standardize the content, and carry out this work with high quality.

2021年11月11日,中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议审议通过了《中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议》(以下简称“《历史决议》”)。《历史决议》回顾了中国共产党百年奋斗的光辉历史,总结了党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验,是一份马克思主义的纲领性文件。在中国共产党领导全国人民全面开启建设社会主义现代化强国新征程的时代背景下,《历史决议》的通过,意义重大。习近平在谈到《中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议》时曾指出:“决议对百年奋斗历程中党注重进行党史学习教育作了全面总结,强调全党要坚持唯物史观和正确党史观,从党的百年奋斗中看清楚过去我们为什么能够成功、弄明白未来我们怎样才能继续成功,从而更加坚定、更加自觉地践行初心使命,在新时代更好坚持和发展中国特色社会主义。”用好红色资源,是开展党史学习教育,让广大人民群众了解我们党领导人民的创业史、革命史、奋斗史以及革命传统、革命精神的重要途径。因此,在用好红色资源的工作中贯彻落实《历史决议》精神就更加责无旁贷。本文旨在探讨新时代用好红色资源的工作中,如何主动对标《历史决议》,把握方向、规范内容,高质量地开展这项工作。

I. The Historical Resolution Puts Forward New Requirements and New Tasks for the Development and Utilization of Red Resources

一、《历史决议》为红色资源开发利用提出了新要求新任务

The Historical Resolution is a review of the Party’s century-long history. On the one hand, it puts forward many new theses; on the other hand, it further clarifies, from the height of a resolution, relevant theoretical innovations concerning the Party’s history in recent years. Its content mainly includes: the historical periodization of the Party’s century-long struggle, the main tasks of the Party’s century-long struggle, the major achievements of the Party’s century-long struggle, the historical significance of the Party’s century-long struggle, the historical experience of the Party’s century-long struggle, the guiding ideology of the Party’s century-long struggle, the leadership core of the Party’s century-long struggle, and the great founding spirit of the Party. [5]5 “Great founding spirit of the Party” (伟大建党精神) is a concept introduced by Xi Jinping in 2021, summarizing the Party’s original spirit at its founding in 1921 as: upholding truth,坚守理想,践行初心,担当使命,不怕牺牲,英勇斗争,对党忠诚,不负人民. These latest theoretical achievements concerning the Party’s century-long history have direct guiding significance for how to use red resources well, such as in theme construction, content determination, and activity development.

《历史决议》是对党的百年历史的回顾,一方面提出了诸多新论断,另一方面也对近年来关于党的历史的相关理论创新从决议的高度予以进一步明确。其内容主要包括:党的百年奋斗的历史分期,关于党的百年奋斗的主要任务,关于党的百年奋斗的重大成就,关于党的百年奋斗的历史意义,关于党的百年奋斗的历史经验,关于党的百年奋斗的指导思想,关于党的百年奋斗的领导核心,关于伟大建党精神等。这些关于党的百年历史的最新理论成果,对于如何用好红色资源,如在主题建设、内容确定、活动开展等方面,有着直接的指导意义。

First, the Historical Resolution is an authoritative guide for maintaining the correct political direction in the work of using red resources well. Red resources are important carriers of the Party’s history. Revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs’ memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites are important windows for displaying the Party’s history to the public. To use red resources well, one must comprehend the Two Establishments, firmly establish the Four Consciousnesses, achieve the Two Upholds, and maintain consistency with the Party Central Committee. [6]6 The Two Establishments (两个确立) refer to establishing Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The Four Consciousnesses (四个意识) are: consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. The Two Upholds (两个维护) are: upholding General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and upholding the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. The content of revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs’ memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites will inevitably involve major historical events and historical figures. Due to various subjective and objective reasons, there are often differences and disagreements in the narration of the processes of some events and the deeds of figures, especially related evaluations. The adoption of the Historical Resolution provides the most authoritative basis for the introduction and evaluation of relevant historical events and historical figures. This means that when red tourism sites display content involving relevant major historical events and historical figures, they must be consistent with the Historical Resolution. In this process, special attention should be paid to using the Historical Resolution to resist historical nihilism, highlighting the authoritative viewpoints of the historical resolution in the work of using red resources well, thereby helping educators eliminate the influence of historical nihilism during their visits and studies.

第一,《历史决议》是用好红色资源工作中保持正确政治方向的权威指引。红色资源是党的历史的重要载体,革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址是面向大众展示党的历史的重要窗口,用好红色资源,必须领会“两个确立”、树牢“四个意识”、做到“两个维护”,跟党中央保持一致。革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址的内容,必然会涉及重大历史事件和历史人物,对于其中一些事件过程和人物事迹的叙述,特别是相关评价,由于种种主客观的原因,往往会存在差别和分歧。而《历史决议》的通过,为相关历史事件和历史人物的介绍和评价提供了最为权威的依据。这就意味着,红色景点在展示中,如若涉及相关重大历史事件和历史人物,就必须要同《历史决议》保持一致。在这个过程中,要特别注重运用《历史决议》抵制历史虚无主义,在用好红色资源的工作中,突出历史决议的权威观点,从而有利于让教育者在参观学习过程中,消除历史虚无主义的影响。

Second, the Historical Resolution expands the content of red resources and deepens their connotation. The Historical Resolution is an important programmatic document of Marxism, putting forward many new theories and theses concerning the Party’s glorious history. These new theories and theses can provide new guidance for expanding the content, deepening the connotation, and improving the quality of red resources. Content such as the major achievements and important experiences of the Party’s century-long struggle, the great founding spirit of the Party, and the spiritual genealogy of Chinese Communists can help broaden horizons and ideas in the excavation and expansion of red resources, thereby adding vivid and profound new content under the perspective of these new theories and theses. Some previously overlooked content has entered the expanded field of vision, making red resources more vibrant with the times and more educational, better serving the construction of a modern socialist country in the New Era.

第二,《历史决议》开拓了红色资源的内容,深化了红色资源的内涵。《历史决议》是一份马克思主义的重要纲领,提出了诸多关于党的光辉历史的新理论、新论断。这些新理论和新论断,能够为红色资源拓展内容、深化内涵、提高质量,提供新的指引。诸如党的百年奋斗的重大成就、重要经验、伟大建党精神以及中国共产党人的精神谱系等内容,能够在红色资源的挖掘拓展中,有助于开拓视野和思路,从而能够在新理论、新论断的观照下,增加鲜活而深刻的新内容。一些原先被忽略的内容,进入到了开拓的视野之中,使得红色资源更加富有时代活力和教育意义,能够更好地为新时代社会主义现代化国家的建设服务。

Third, the propaganda and implementation of the Historical Resolution requires better use of red resources. Carrying out propaganda and education on the Historical Resolution, studying and implementing its spirit, is an extremely important and routine task in conducting Party history study and education. In the process of carrying out this work, using red resources well can play a very important role. Revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs’ memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites—these red resources—can use more vivid, more intuitive, and more emotional methods to publicize and display the Historical Resolution, allowing it to reach a wide range of people and become more deeply rooted in their hearts. Therefore, when using red resources well, there should be a conscious effort to align with the spirit of the Historical Resolution during development, making the propaganda and display of the Historical Resolution a key focus of future work.

第三,《历史决议》的宣传贯彻需要更好地用好红色资源。开展对《历史决议》的宣传教育,学习贯彻决议精神,是开展党史学习教育的一项极为重要的、常态化的工作。在开展这项工作的过程中,用好红色资源能够发挥十分重要的作用,革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址这些红色资源,可以用更为生动、更为直观、更为感性的方式,宣传和展示《历史决议》,让《历史决议》能够面对广大的人群,更加深入人心。因此,用好红色资源,在开发时就要有意识地对标《历史决议》精神,把宣传和展示《历史决议》作为今后工作的重点内容。

II. New Challenges in the Current Work of Using Red Resources Well from the Perspective of the Historical Resolution

二、《历史决议》视域观照下当前用好红色资源工作的新挑战

In recent years, the development and utilization of red resources in China have shown a good momentum and achieved notable results. According to data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in 2023, the number of tourists visiting red tourism sites nationwide reached 283 million person-trips, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%, with tourism revenue of 77.759 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.5%, and the scale is growing. Another sample survey found that in 2020, among tourists participating in red tourism, young and middle-aged people aged 25 and under accounted for about 50%. This shows that red tourism is no longer merely a nostalgic experience for the middle-aged and elderly to recall the arduous years, but also an important channel for the vast number of Party members, cadres, and young people to receive patriotic education and education in revolutionary traditions. However, against the backdrop of an overall good situation, there are also some problems and challenges in the development and utilization of red resources. In particular, after the passage of the *Historical Resolution* [7]7 The "Third Historical Resolution" refers to the *Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century*, adopted at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee in November 2021. It is the third such comprehensive resolution on Party history, following those in 1945 and 1981., and in light of its content and the requirements for its propagation and implementation, there are currently some obvious deficiencies in the development and utilization of red resources, which constitute the greatest challenge in the current work of using red resources well.

近年来,我国红色资源开发利用发展态势良好,成绩显著。据文化和旅游部数据,2023年全国红色旅游接待游客数量2.83亿人次,同比增长11.1%,旅游收入为777.59亿元,同比增长17.5%,规模日益壮大。另据抽样调查发现,2020年参与红色旅游的游客中,25岁及以下的中青年约占50%。由此可见,红色旅游不再仅仅是中老年人回忆峥嵘岁月的怀旧体验,更是广大党员干部和青年群体接受爱国主义教育和革命传统教育的重要途径。但是,在总体态势良好的大背景之下,红色资源开发和利用也存在着一些问题和挑战。特别是《历史决议》通过之后,对照《历史决议》的内容以及宣传贯彻《历史决议》的要求,当前红色资源开发利用存在一些明显的不足,这是当前用好红色资源工作最大的挑战。

First, the new judgments on Party history proposed in the *Historical Resolution* have not yet been implemented in a timely manner in the development and utilization of red resources. The *Historical Resolution* puts forward many new theories and judgments on Party history. In his "Speech at a Ceremony Marking the Centenary of the Communist Party of China," Xi Jinping systematically reviewed the process by which the Communist Party of China achieved historical accomplishments, summarizing the Party's historical achievements into four aspects: the great achievement of the New Democratic Revolution, the great achievement of socialist revolution and construction, the great achievement of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and the great achievement of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era. This effectively divides the Party's century-long history into four historical periods. In the *Historical Resolution*, these same four historical periods are used to expound the Party's major achievements. The four-period division of Party history is the latest major theoretical achievement made in the *Historical Resolution*, possessing a high degree of scientificity and authority. Red tourism sites should strictly adhere to this in their exhibition layouts, displays, and presentations of relevant history. However, judging from the current situation, most scenic spots and sites have failed to adjust their content in a timely manner, resulting in a lag in understanding and implementing the Party Central Committee's latest theories.

第一,《历史决议》提出的关于党史的新论断尚未及时在红色资源开发和利用中落实。《历史决议》中提出了诸多关于党史的新理论、新论断。习近平《在庆祝中国共产党成立100周年大会上的讲话》中,系统回顾了中国共产党取得历史成就的过程,把党的历史成就总结为四个方面:新民主主义革命的伟大成就,社会主义革命和建设的伟大成就,改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的伟大成就,新时代中国特色社会主义的伟大成就,实际上把百年党史分成了四个历史时期。在《历史决议》中,同样也以这四个历史时期阐述党的重大成就。党的历史的四个分期,是《历史决议》中作出的最新的重大理论成果,具有高度的科学性和权威性。红色景点在布展、陈列中,在对相关历史的展示中,都应该予以严格遵循。但是从目前的情况来看,多数景区景点,都未能及时地对相关内容进行调整,出现了领会和落实中央最新理论相对滞后的现象。

Second, the new spirit regarding Party history proposed in the *Historical Resolution* has not yet been promptly implemented in the work of using red resources well. The spiritual connotation of the *Historical Resolution* is exceptionally rich, with the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists being important components. The *Historical Resolution* repeatedly emphasizes that the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists, with this spirit as its source, are the precious spiritual wealth of the Communist Party of China and must be carried forward. "Over the past century, the Party has adhered to its nature and purpose, upheld its ideals and convictions, stayed true to its original aspiration and founding mission, and had the courage to carry out self-revolution. Through life-and-death struggles and arduous efforts, it has withstood various risks and tests, made tremendous sacrifices, and forged a distinct political character. It has developed a spiritual lineage with the great founding spirit of the Party as its source, maintained the Party's advanced nature and integrity, and continuously improved its governance capacity and leadership level." In the New Era, it is necessary to "vigorously promote the great founding spirit of the Party." Elucidating and propagating the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists is an inherent part of using red resources well. However, this work has not yet been carried out well. In some localities, during the development and utilization of red resources, there is a lack of clear understanding of the important relationship between red resources and the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists, a lack of proactive awareness, relative slowness in action, and insufficient display.

第二,《历史决议》提出的关于党史的新精神在用好红色资源工作中还没有得到及时的贯彻。《历史决议》的精神内涵异常丰富,伟大建党精神和中国共产党人的精神谱系是其中重要的内容。《历史决议》中反复强调伟大建党精神以及以伟大建党精神为源头的中国共产党人精神谱系是中国共产党的宝贵精神财富,必须发扬光大,“一百年来,党坚持性质宗旨,坚持理想信念,坚守初心使命,勇于自我革命,在生死斗争和艰苦奋斗中经受住各种风险考验、付出巨大牺牲,锤炼出鲜明政治品格,形成了以伟大建党精神为源头的精神谱系,保持了党的先进性和纯洁性,党的执政能力和领导水平不断提高”,在新时代,要“大力弘扬伟大建党精神”。阐发和宣传伟大建党精神和中国共产党人的精神谱系,是用好红色资源的题中应有之义。但是,目前这项工作尚未很好地开展起来,一些地方在红色资源的开发利用中,对于红色资源与伟大建党精神、中国共产党人的精神谱系之间的重要关系认识不清,缺乏主动积极的意识,在行动上相对迟缓、展示不够。

Third, the new content on Party history summarized in the *Historical Resolution* has yet to be comprehensively and deeply displayed in the development and utilization of red resources. The *Historical Resolution* is a comprehensive review of the Party's century-long history, especially a systematic summary of the major historical achievements and important historical experiences of the Party's century-long struggle. This has two implications for using red resources well. On the one hand, red resource facilities such as revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs' memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites, as important windows for propagating Party history to the public, should consciously and proactively take on the responsibility of propagating the major historical achievements and important historical experiences of the Party's century-long struggle. On the other hand, the *Historical Resolution* sets the overall tone for the evaluation of many major historical events and important historical figures, possessing a high degree of authority. In the development and utilization of red resources, one should proactively align with the *Historical Resolution*, inspect and improve content such as exhibition layouts and displays, and maintain consistency with the *Historical Resolution*. However, in some localities, this work has still not been carried out with high quality.

第三,《历史决议》总结的关于党史的新内容还有待于在红色资源开发利用中全面深入展示。《历史决议》是对百年党史的全面回顾,特别是对党的百年奋斗中的重大历史成就和重要历史经验进行了系统的总结。这对于用好红色资源来讲,有两个方面的意义,一方面,革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址等红色资源设施作为面向大众宣传党的历史的重要窗口,应该有意识地主动承担宣传党的百年奋斗中的重大历史成就和重要历史经验的责任。另一方面,《历史决议》对诸多重大历史事件、重要历史人物的评述定下了总的基调,具有高度的权威性,红色资源开发利用中,应该主动对标《历史决议》,对布展、陈列等内容进行检查和完善,与《历史决议》保持一致。但目前一些地方,这项工作仍没有高质量开展起来。

Fourth, the value orientation manifested in the *Historical Resolution* has not been reflected in the development and utilization of some red resources. The formulation of the *Historical Resolution* is, in the final analysis, rooted in the present, aiming to leverage the educational function of Party history. Through studying Party history and summarizing Party history, the goal is to "see clearly why we were successful in the past and understand how we can continue to succeed in the future, so that we can more firmly and consciously fulfill our original aspiration and founding mission, and better uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era." Using red resources well must also highlight their value function. Regarding the purpose of developing red resources, Xi Jinping emphasized "strengthening the educational function," clearly pointing out that excavating and using red resources well means conducting ideological education through the study of Party history. This is a direct requirement for the development and utilization of red resources, endowing the work of using red resources well with greater historical responsibility. However, for a long time, in the process of developing and utilizing red resources, some localities have deviated from the red theme. For example, insufficient attention has been paid to the function of red tourism in promoting revolutionary traditions and conducting ideological education, with a one-sided pursuit of economic benefits, equating red tourism with ordinary tourism, and even vulgarizing related history and figures. Some red tourism sites lack a sense of social responsibility and prefer to attract tourists by highlighting the vulgar side of the scenic spot. This phenomenon deviates from the original intention of developing and utilizing red resources, putting the cart before the horse, and should be severely curbed.

第四,《历史决议》彰显的价值导向未能在部分红色资源开发利用中得到体现。《历史决议》的制定,归根到底是立足当下,发挥党的历史的教育功能,要通过学习党史,总结党史,“从党的百年奋斗中看清楚过去我们为什么能够成功、弄明白未来我们怎样才能继续成功,从而更加坚定、更加自觉地践行初心使命,在新时代更好坚持和发展中国特色社会主义”。用好红色资源同样要突出价值功能。关于开发红色资源是为了什么?习近平强调“要强化教育功能”,明确指出发掘红色资源,用好红色资源,就是要通过对党的历史的学习,进行思想教育。这是针对红色资源开发利用的直接要求,赋予了用好红色资源以更大的历史责任。但是,长期以来,一些地方在红色资源开发利用的过程中出现了偏离红色主题的现象,如对红色旅游弘扬革命传统与开展思想教育的功能重视不够,片面地追求经济效益,把红色旅游等同于普通旅游,甚至将相关的历史和人物庸俗化。一些红色景点缺乏社会责任感,喜欢通过突出景区庸俗化的一面来吸引游客。这种现象背离了红色资源开发利用的初衷,本末倒置,应该予以严厉制止。

Fifth, the level of development and utilization of red resources in some localities is low. In the process of developing and utilizing red resources, there is a phenomenon of low-standard construction. Some have basic historical facts wrong, even including low-level errors such as typos. In some exhibitions, scene settings deviate from the historical environment, and individual cases even have political problems, such as failing to make necessary adjustments to information about figures who betrayed the Party's original aspiration, and evaluations of major Party history and important figures that deviate from the *Historical Resolution*.

第五,一些地方红色资源开发利用的水平不高。在红色资源开发利用的过程中,存在着低水平建设的现象。有的基本史实错误,甚至出现错别字等低级错误;有的展陈中,场景设置背离历史环境,个别甚至出现政治上的问题,如对违背党的初心人物的信息没有做必要的处理,对党的重大历史、重要人物的评价与《历史决议》相背离。

III. Taking the *Historical Resolution* as a Guide to Comprehensively Promote High-Quality Utilization of Red Resources

三、以《历史决议》为指引,全面推动高质量用好红色资源

The *Historical Resolution* draws lessons from history, providing a solid ideological guidance and theoretical foundation for the high-quality utilization of red resources. Therefore, it is necessary to combine it with practical work, align with the *Historical Resolution*, identify the direction and grasp the key points, and effectively use red resources with high quality.

《历史决议》以史为鉴,为高质量用好红色资源提供了坚实的思想指导和理论基础。因此要结合工作实际,对照《历史决议》,找准方向、抓住重点,切实高质量用好红色资源。

First, take the *Historical Resolution* as a guide and uphold the educational value of red resources. Xi Jinping pointed out that studying the *Historical Resolution* means "strengthening historical confidence and consciously upholding ideals and convictions," and "studying and summarizing the Party's history means enhancing confidence in the path, confidence in the theory, confidence in the system, and confidence in the culture, holding firm to the green mountains and not letting go, and forging ahead through wind and rain without pause." This is also a high standard and strict requirement for the development and utilization of red resources. Therefore, the development and utilization of red resources in all localities must take the *Historical Resolution* as a guide, highlight the educational function, and uphold that educational value is the core value and core function of red resources. Thus, in the practice of using red resources well, we can pass on the red gene, continue the red bloodline, cultivate and practice the core socialist values, and transmit red history, revolutionary traditions, and the red spirit to the vast number of Party members, cadres, and the masses through revolutionary museums, memorial halls, Party history museums, martyrs' memorial facilities, revolutionary sites, and other red resources. This will further strengthen ideals and convictions and consolidate the common ideological foundation for the united struggle of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country.

第一,以《历史决议》为遵循,坚持红色资源的教育价值。习近平指出,学习《历史决议》,就是要做到“坚定历史自信,自觉坚守理想信念”,“学习和总结党的历史,就要从中增强道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信,咬定青山不放松,风雨无阻向前进”。这同样是对红色资源开发利用的高标准、严要求。因此,各地红色资源开发利用,必须以《历史决议》为遵循,突出教育功能,坚持教育价值就是红色资源的核心价值和核心功能,从而在用好红色资源的实践中做到传承红色基因,赓续红色血脉,培育和践行社会主义核心价值观,将红色历史、革命传统和红色精神通过革命博物馆、纪念馆、党史馆、烈士纪念设施、革命旧址等红色资源传递给广大党员干部群众,从而进一步坚定理想信念,巩固全党全国各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础。

Second, take the *Historical Resolution* as the guide to standardize the content of exhibitions and explanations of red resources. The *Historical Resolution* provides an objective, fact-based evaluation of major historical events and important historical figures in the century-long Party history. It can be regarded as the most authoritative conclusion on the relevant events and figures, and this has direct guiding significance for making good use of red resources. In their practice of developing and utilizing red resources, all localities should adopt a cautious attitude. Whether in exhibitions or guided tours, evaluations of the major historical events and important historical figures involved must take the *Historical Resolution* as the fundamental basis and remain consistent with it. They must not start from scratch or propagate to visitors content and ideas that are inconsistent with the *Historical Resolution*. This should become an iron discipline for the development and utilization of red resources.

第二,以《历史决议》为遵循,规范红色资源的展陈讲解内容。《历史决议》对百年党史中的重大历史事件、重要历史人物进行了客观的、实事求是的评价,可以认为是对相关事件和人物最为权威的结论,这对于用好红色资源有着直接的指导意义。各地在开发用好红色资源的实践中,应持谨慎态度,不管是陈列布展,或是导游讲解,对于所涉及的重大历史事件、重要历史人物的相关评价,必须以《历史决议》为根本依据,与《历史决议》保持一致,不能另起炉灶,向游客宣传灌输与《历史决议》不符的内容和精神。这应该成为红色资源开发利用的铁的纪律。

Third, take the *Historical Resolution* as the guide to highlight the focus of work on making good use of red resources. The *Historical Resolution* puts forward many new theses on Party history. The work of making good use of red resources should thoroughly implement these, promptly giving prominent display in the development and utilization of red resources to these latest theoretical achievements on Party history, so as to play the proper role in implementing and carrying forward the spirit of the *Historical Resolution*.

第三,以《历史决议》为遵循,突出用好红色资源工作的重点。《历史决议》提出了关于党史的诸多新论断,用好红色资源工作应当予以深入的贯彻,把这些关于党史的最新理论成果及时地在红色资源开发利用中进行重点展现,为《历史决议》精神的贯彻落实发挥应有的作用。

In making good use of red resources, the theme of national rejuvenation should be highlighted. The *Historical Resolution* emphasizes that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the theme of the CPC’s century-long struggle. Making good use of red resources should also highlight this theme, taking whether it is conducive to national rejuvenation as the main basis for selecting and discarding red resource content. When allocating relevant resources, priority should be given to displaying historical events that promoted the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and to publicizing historical figures who made significant contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Special attention should be paid to highlighting the leading role of the CPC, explaining to visitors the Party’s decisive contribution to the great cause of national rejuvenation, and inspiring the broad masses of the people to actively devote themselves to the great cause of national rejuvenation.

用好红色资源,要突出民族复兴的主题。《历史决议》强调,中华民族伟大复兴是中国共产党百年奋斗的主题,用好红色资源也要突出这个主题,以是否有利于民族复兴作为红色资源内容取舍的主要依据。在配置相关资源时重点展示推动中华民族伟大复兴的历史事件,重点宣传对于中华民族伟大复兴作出重大贡献的历史人物,特别要注意突出中国共产党的领导作用,将党对民族复兴大业的决定性贡献讲授给参观人群,激发广大人民群众积极投身于民族复兴伟业的热情。

The exhibitions of red resources should apply the latest division of Party history into four historical periods. The *Historical Resolution* further clarifies the periodization of the century-long Party history, dividing it into four historical periods: the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the period of Socialist Revolution and Construction, the period of Reform and Opening Up and Socialist Modernization, and the New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. This requires all localities to respond promptly, adjusting the content of exhibitions related to red resources, and presenting and narrating Party history to visitors in four periods. It is worth noting that the *Historical Resolution* highlights the New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, with relevant content occupying a considerable amount of space. This is in fact an important inspiration for the development and utilization of red resources. In the development and planning of red resources, the content of the New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics should correspondingly be substantially increased, and landmark achievements of the New Era’s economic construction and social development, such as poverty alleviation and ecological civilization construction, should be fully explored and displayed.

红色资源的陈列布展,要应用党史四个历史时期的最新划分。《历史决议》对百年党史的分期予以进一步明确,分为新民主主义革命时期,社会主义革命和建设时期,改革开放和社会主义现代化建设时期,中国特色社会主义新时代等四个历史时期。这就要求各地迅速做出回应,对红色资源相关的布展和陈列内容作出调整,分为四个时期向参观人群展示和讲述党的历史。值得注意的是,《历史决议》突出了中国特色社会主义新时代,相关内容占有了相当大的篇幅,这实际上也是对红色资源开发利用的重要启示,红色资源在开发、规划中,也要相应地大幅度增加中国特色社会主义新时代的内容,把新时代经济建设、社会发展等成就,诸如脱贫攻坚、生态文明建设等标志性成果充分地挖掘展现出来。

Making good use of red resources means fully displaying the major achievements of the century-long Party history. All localities should earnestly study the *Historical Resolution*’s discussion of major achievements, and, in light of local realities, excavate red resources that can fully demonstrate the major achievements of the Party’s century-long struggle. In exhibitions, displays, and explanations, major achievements should be highlighted, and planning and design should revolve around these major achievements. This will enable visitors, by understanding the major achievements of the Party’s century-long struggle, to enhance their confidence and strengthen their sense of pride.

用好红色资源,就是要充分地展现百年党史的重大成就。各地要认真学习《历史决议》关于重大成就的论述,结合本地实际,挖掘能够充分展示党的百年奋斗重大成就的红色资源。在陈列、布展、讲解中,要突出重大成就,围绕着重大成就进行规划设计。使得游客通过了解党百年奋斗取得的重大成就,提高自信心,增强自豪感。

Making good use of red resources means fully presenting the important experience of the Party’s century-long struggle. The *Historical Resolution* summarizes the important experience of the Party’s century-long struggle with the “Ten Persistences.” [8]8 The “Ten Persistences” (十个坚持) are ten principles summarizing the experience of the CPC’s century-long struggle, as outlined in the Third Historical Resolution adopted in 2021. They include, for example, upholding the Party’s leadership and putting the people first. In the development and utilization of red resources, all localities should earnestly study and comprehend these historical experiences. In every link of the development and utilization of red resources, visitors should, through their tours, come to understand, digest, and absorb these experiences, receive education and draw wisdom from them, and then carry them forward in their work.

用好红色资源,就是要充分地呈现党百年奋斗的重要经验。《历史决议》以“十个坚持”概括了党的百年奋斗的重要经验。各地在红色资源开发利用中,要认真学习体会这些历史经验,在红色资源开发利用的各个环节,让游客在旅游中了解认识、消化吸收这些经验,并从这些经验中接受教育、汲取智慧,进而在工作中将其发扬光大。

Making good use of red resources means focusing on publicizing the spirit of Chinese Communists. The *Historical Resolution* provides a profound exposition of the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists. [9]9 The “great founding spirit of the Party” (伟大建党精神) refers to the spirit of the CPC’s founding in 1921, as formally defined in 2021. The “spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists” (中国共产党人的精神谱系) is a list of revolutionary spirits (e.g., the Jinggangshan spirit, the Yan’an spirit) developed throughout the Party’s history. In response, the development and utilization of red resources in all localities should actively respond, attaching great importance to publicizing the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists. In addition to direct publicity in conjunction with local red resources, the connotation of local red culture should also be refined based on relevant historical figures and events, echoing the great founding spirit of the Party and the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists, so as to form a three-dimensional display of the red spirit. The people who visit and study red resources are different from ordinary tourists; they are both sightseers and recipients of education in red culture. It is necessary to further elevate the spiritual connotation of red resources, endowing them with more direct and profound educational significance, so that the educated can, taking the spiritual connotation as an entry point, more directly and accurately understand and grasp the essence of the relevant red culture in the red resources, thereby undergoing the baptism of red culture, inheriting red culture, and comprehensively enhancing the educational effect of red resources.

用好红色资源,就是要注重对中国共产党人精神的宣传。《历史决议》对伟大建党精神和中国共产党人的精神谱系进行了深刻的阐述。对此,各地红色资源的开发利用,要做出积极回应,高度重视对伟大建党精神和中国共产党人精神谱系的宣传。除了结合本地红色资源进行直接宣传之外,还要根据相关的历史人物、历史事件,对本地红色文化的内涵进行提炼,与伟大建党精神和中国共产党人的精神谱系相呼应,形成红色精神立体的展示。红色资源的参观学习人群有别于普通游客,既是观光者,亦是红色文化的受教育者。必须进一步升华红色资源的精神内涵,赋予其更为直接和深刻的教育意义,让受教育者能够以精神内涵为切入点,更为直接、准确地理解和把握红色资源中相关红色文化的精髓,从而接受红色文化的洗礼,传承红色文化,全面提升红色资源的教育效果。
