Earnestly Study and Implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Discourses on Ideological Work
蔡静峰:认真学习贯彻习近平总书记关于意识形态工作的重要论述
Attaching importance to and effectively strengthening ideological work is a fine tradition and political advantage of our Party in leading the people to continuously win victories in revolution, construction, and reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has strengthened centralized, unified leadership over ideological work, rectifying the source and upholding fundamental principles while breaking new ground, thereby promoting a comprehensive and fundamental transformation in the ideological sphere. The New Era calls for new responsibilities, and the new journey demands new achievements. We must take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as our guide, earnestly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on ideological work, resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of safeguarding ideological security, and strive to build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and guiding force.
重视并切实加强意识形态工作,是我们党领导人民不断夺取革命、建设、改革胜利的优良传统和政治优势。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央加强对意识形态工作的集中统一领导,正本清源、守正创新,推动意识形态领域形势发生全局性、根本性转变。新时代呼唤新担当,新征程要有新作为。我们要以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,认真贯彻落实习近平总书记关于意识形态工作的重要论述,坚决扛起维护意识形态安全的政治责任,奋力建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态。
I. Fully Understand the Extreme Importance of Doing Ideological Work Well
一、充分认识做好意识形态工作的极端重要性
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that ideological work is an extremely important task
习近平总书记强调,意识形态工作是党的一项极端重要的工作,能否做好意识形态工作,事关党的前途命运,事关国家长治久安,事关民族凝聚力和向心力。这是习近平总书记鉴往知来,深刻总结历史经验教训得出的重要结论,为我们做好新时代意识形态工作提供了思想指南和行动纲领。
Doing ideological work well concerns the future and destiny of the Party. Marx said: “If one examines it from the perspective of ideas, then the dissolution of a certain form of consciousness is enough to bring down an entire epoch.” Our Party has attached importance to ideological work since its founding period. Looking back at the Party’s century-long history of struggle, it can be found that the great achievements of China’s revolution, construction, and reform are all closely related to the Party’s effective ideological work. The reason why the Communist Party of China has been able to endure hardships and continuously grow and strengthen is that our Party has always placed ideological work in a prominent position within all of the Party’s work, enabling the entire Party to maintain unified thinking, firm will, coordinated action, and strong combat effectiveness, thereby continuously forging ahead while mastering historical initiative. At present, the governing environment our Party faces remains complex; the “Four Tests” [1]1 “Making a bridal gown for others to wear” (为他人作嫁衣裳) is a classical Chinese idiom from a Tang dynasty poem by Qin Taoyu, meaning to work hard for the benefit of others without gaining anything oneself. and the “Four Dangers” [2]2 “A heap of loose sand” (一盘散沙) is a Chinese idiom describing a state of disunity and lack of cohesion. “Internal strife among brothers” (兄弟阋墙) is from the *Book of Songs*, referring to conflict within a family or group. still exist. This all places new and higher demands on doing ideological work well in the New Era. General Secretary Xi Jinping warned the entire Party at the 20th National
做好意识形态工作事关党的前途命运。马克思说:“如果从观念上来考察,那么一定的意识形式的解体足以使整个时代覆灭。”我们党从创立时期就重视抓意识形态工作。回顾党的百年奋斗历程可以发现,中国革命、建设、改革的伟大成就,无不与党卓有成效的意识形态工作密切相关。中国共产党之所以能历经艰难困苦而不断发展壮大,就是因为我们党始终把意识形态工作置于党的全部工作的突出位置,使全党始终保持统一的思想、坚定的意志、协调的行动、强大的战斗力,从而在掌握历史主动中不断开拓前进。当前,我们党面临的执政环境依然是复杂的,“四大考验”和“四大危险”依然存在,这都对做好新时代意识形态工作提出了新的更高要求。习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中告诫全党,我们的工作还存在一些不足,面临不少困难和问题,意识形态领域存在不少挑战。我们党要永葆先进性、纯洁性,巩固党的执政地位和群众基础,必须大力加强党的思想理论建设,用党的创新理论武装全党、教育人民,巩固马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位,确保党始终走在时代前列、得到人民衷心拥护,始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心。
Doing ideological work well bears on the long-term stability and security of the state. The collapse of a political power often begins in the ideological sphere; political upheaval and regime change can occur overnight, but ideological evolution is a long-term process. Once the ideological defense line is breached, other defense lines become difficult to hold. The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the collapse of its Party and state serve as a lesson from the past. At present, changes unseen in a century are accelerating across the world, hostile forces are intensifying their infiltration and sabotage in our ideological and cultural spheres, and various schemes of “Westernization and division,” “peaceful evolution,” and “color revolution” are escalating. Building Chinese-path modernization and achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is by no means something that can be accomplished easily, with a mere beating of drums and gongs. We must be prepared to undergo severe tests, including those of high winds and choppy waters, or even treacherous waves, and overcome all difficulties and obstacles, including those in the ideological domain. On the path forward, while concentrating our efforts on economic construction, we must not relax or weaken ideological work for even a moment. To achieve long-term stability and security for the state, it is not enough merely to have material abundance; if we lose the masses spiritually, major problems will arise. If economic construction is not done well, without tangible development results and continuous improvement in people’s lives, ideological work will become hollow and pale. If ideological work is not done well, leading to blurred vision, confused minds, and a lost soul, no matter how great the achievements in construction, they will only be “making a bridal gown for others to wear.” [1]1 “Making a bridal gown for others to wear” (为他人作嫁衣裳) is a classical Chinese idiom from a Tang dynasty poem by Qin Taoyu, meaning to work hard for the benefit of others without gaining anything oneself. We must use solid ideological work to build a firm spiritual barrier for the long-term stability and security of the state, make strengthening and improving ideological work an important part of advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and ensure national political security and regime security through ideological security and cultural security.
做好意识形态工作事关国家长治久安。一个政权的瓦解往往是从思想领域开始的,政治动荡、政权更迭可能在一夜之间发生,但思想演化是个长期过程。思想防线被攻破了,其他防线就很难守住。苏联亡党亡国就是前车之鉴。当前,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,敌对势力对我思想文化领域的渗透破坏更加剧烈,各种“西化分化”“和平演变”“颜色革命”的图谋变本加厉。建设中国式现代化、实现中华民族伟大复兴,绝不是轻轻松松、敲锣打鼓就能实现的,必须准备经受风高浪急甚至惊涛骇浪的重大考验,战胜包括意识形态领域在内的一切艰难险阻。前进道路上,我们在集中精力进行经济建设的同时,一刻也不能放松和削弱意识形态工作。实现国家长治久安,不是只要物质富裕就万事大吉了,精神上丧失群众也要出大问题。如果经济建设搞不好,没有实实在在的发展成果,没有人民生活的不断改善,意识形态工作会空洞苍白;如果意识形态工作搞不好,迷了眼、糊了脑、丢了魂,再大的建设成果都只是“为他人作嫁衣裳”。要用扎实的意识形态工作为国家长治久安筑起坚固的精神屏障,把加强和改进意识形态工作作为推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的重要内容,以意识形态安全和文化安全确保国家政治安全和政权安全。
Doing ideological work well bears on national cohesion and centripetal force. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: “The unity of the country, the unity of the people, and the unity of all ethnic groups within the country—this is the basic guarantee for the inevitable victory of our cause.” China is a unified multi-ethnic country. Our vast territory has been jointly developed by all ethnic groups, our long history has been jointly written by all ethnic groups, our splendid culture has been jointly created by all ethnic groups, and our great spirit has been jointly cultivated by all ethnic groups. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The history of human social development shows that for a nation or a country, the most enduring and deepest force is the core socialist values commonly recognized by the whole society.” Especially in a country like China, with its long history, vast territory, numerous ethnic groups, and diverse cultures, there must be a common value pursuit and spiritual home to shape, maintain, and strengthen identity; otherwise, there will be a heap of loose sand, disintegration, internal strife among brothers, and endless chaos. [2]2 “A heap of loose sand” (一盘散沙) is a Chinese idiom describing a state of disunity and lack of cohesion. “Internal strife among brothers” (兄弟阋墙) is from the *Book of Songs*, referring to conflict within a family or group. Through millennia of interaction, exchange, and integration, on the basis of identifying with Chinese culture, people of all ethnic groups have developed a high degree of ethnic identity with the Chinese nation and a high degree of national identity with the great motherland, forming an indestructible sense of community for the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping requires: “Deeply understand and grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, continuously build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation at the new historical starting point, and lay a solid spiritual and cultural foundation for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.” Ideological work is work that establishes a heart for the state and a soul for the nation. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is an important part of ideological work. We must focus on consolidating the common ideological foundation for the united struggle of people of all ethnic groups, persist in using the outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peacefulness of Chinese civilization to permeate and unite the Chinese national community, and promote the Chinese nation to become a community with a shared future with a higher degree of identity and stronger cohesion and centripetal force.
做好意识形态工作事关民族凝聚力和向心力。毛泽东同志指出:“国家的统一,人民的团结,国内各民族的团结,这是我们的事业必定要胜利的基本保证。”中国是一个统一的多民族国家,我们辽阔的疆域是各民族共同开拓的,我们悠久的历史是各民族共同书写的,我们灿烂的文化是各民族共同创造的,我们伟大的精神是各民族共同培育的。习近平总书记指出:“人类社会发展的历史表明,对一个民族、一个国家来说,最持久、最深层的力量是全社会共同认可的核心价值观。”特别是在中国这样一个历史悠久、国土广袤、民族众多、文化多样的国家,必须要有一个共同的价值追求和精神归依来塑造认同、维系认同、强化认同,否则就会一盘散沙、分崩离析、兄弟阋墙、纷乱不止。历经千百年的交往交流交融,各族人民在认同中华文化的基础上,对中华民族产生高度的民族认同,对伟大祖国产生高度的国家认同,形成坚不可摧的中华民族共同体意识。习近平总书记要求:“深刻理解把握中华文明的突出特性,在新的历史起点上不断构筑中华民族共有精神家园,为铸牢中华民族共同体意识奠定坚实的精神和文化基础。”意识形态工作是为国家立心、为民族立魂的工作,铸牢中华民族共同体意识是意识形态工作的重要内容,要着眼巩固各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础,坚持用中华文明突出的连续性、创新性、统一性、包容性、和平性浸润并凝聚中华民族共同体,推动中华民族成为认同度更高、凝聚力向心力更强的命运共同体。
II. Deeply Grasp the Real Urgency of Doing Ideological Work Well
二、深刻把握做好意识形态工作的现实紧迫性
At present, the situation in the ideological sphere remains severe and complex, and “black swan” and “gray rhino” events may occur at any time. We must recognize the real urgency of doing ideological work well, enhance our awareness of potential dangers, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and calmly respond to various predictable and unpredictable challenges and tests.
当前,意识形态领域形势依然严峻复杂,“黑天鹅”、“灰犀牛”事件随时可能发生。要认清做好意识形态工作的现实紧迫性,增强忧患意识,做到居安思危,沉着应对各种可以预料和难以预料的挑战考验。
From the perspective of the state of social thought, we are required to establish dominance and strengthen the mainstream. Through the great practice since the New Era, Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times has demonstrated great truth power, and the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological sphere has been further consolidated. However, in the arena of public opinion, the mainstream and the non-mainstream coexist simultaneously, the positive and the negative interweave, non-Marxist and even anti-Marxist views appear from time to time, and erroneous trends of thought such as Western “constitutional democracy,” neoliberalism, and historical nihilism constantly change their guise. Decadent and backward cultures still have influence within certain spheres and among some members of society. Faced with the mutual agitation, blending, and confrontation of various thoughts and cultures, ideological work must establish dominance amidst diversity and strengthen the mainstream amidst confrontation.
从社会思想状况看,要求我们立主导强主流。经历新时代以来的伟大实践,中国化时代化的马克思主义展现出强大真理力量,马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位更加巩固。但在社会舆论场中,主流的和非主流的同时并存,积极的消极的相互交织,一些非马克思主义甚至反马克思主义的观点时有出现,西方“宪政民主”、新自由主义、历史虚无主义等错误思潮不断改头换面。腐朽落后文化在一定范围、在一些社会成员中还有影响。面对各种思想文化相互激荡、交融交锋,意识形态工作必须在多元中立主导、在交锋中强主流。
From the perspective of economic and social development, we are required to better consolidate hearts, forge souls, and gather strength. China’s development continues to maintain its important position as an engine of world economic growth, new steps have been taken in building a new development pattern, new achievements have been made in high-quality development, and the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security has been continuously strengthened. At the same time, we must see that the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development in our country remains prominent. To promote high-quality development, it is necessary to strengthen economic publicity and public opinion guidance, continuously strengthen positive publicity, unify thoughts and actions with the Central Committee’s scientific judgment of the situation, grasp the general trend of development, boost confidence in development, improve social expectations, and gather the mighty force to promote development.
从经济社会发展看,要求我们更好凝心铸魂聚力。我国发展继续保持世界经济增长引擎的重要地位,构建新发展格局迈出新步伐,高质量发展取得新成效,人民群众获得感幸福感安全感不断增强。同时要看到,我国发展不平衡不充分问题仍然突出,推动高质量发展需要加强经济宣传和舆论引导,持续加强正面宣传,把思想和行动统一到中央对形势的科学判断上来,把握发展大势,提振发展信心,改善社会预期,汇集推动发展的磅礴力量。
From the perspective of building a culturally strong country, we are required to strengthen confidence, self-awareness, and self-reliance. The rejuvenation of a nation is always strongly supported by cultural flourishing, and the progress of an era is always clearly marked by cultural prosperity. Building a socialist cultural power is an important foundation and prerequisite for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Now, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. The closer we get to this goal, the more we need to promote cultural prosperity and development, injecting strong cultural power into building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation. We must thoroughly implement the fundamental requirement of the “Two Integrations” [3]3 The “Two Integrations” refers to the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the best of traditional Chinese culture., unswervingly follow the path of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, develop a socialist culture that is national, scientific, and popular, oriented toward modernization, the world, and the future, and vigorously promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture.
从文化强国建设看,要求我们坚定自信自觉自强。一个民族的复兴,总是以文化的兴盛为强大支撑,一个时代的进步,总是以文化的繁荣为鲜明标识。建设社会主义文化强国是全面建设社会主义现代化国家、实现中华民族伟大复兴的重要基础和前提。现在,中华民族伟大复兴进入了不可逆转的历史进程,越是接近这个目标,就越需要我们推动文化繁荣发展,为强国建设、民族复兴注入强大文化力量。要深入贯彻“两个结合”的根本要求,坚定不移走中国特色社会主义文化发展道路,发展面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来的,民族的科学的大众的社会主义文化,大力推动中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展。
From the perspective of the trend of information technology transformation, we are required to proactively recognize changes, respond to changes, and seek changes. A new round of the information revolution is booming, especially with the multi-dimensional innovation and multi-point breakthroughs of cutting-edge technologies represented by cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence. These are promoting the dissemination and sharing of ideas, culture, and information on a broader scale, profoundly changing people’s production and life, and profoundly changing the concepts, means, and objects of propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, providing a broader platform for enhancing the leading power and influence of mainstream ideology. We must adhere to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, respond to the new with the new and to change with change, establish internet thinking, comply with internet laws, proactively enter the main battlefield of the internet, improve the level of internet management, use, and governance, and turn this biggest variable of the internet into the biggest increment for the development of our cause.
从信息技术变革趋势看,要求我们主动识变应变求变。新一轮信息革命正在蓬勃兴起,特别是以云计算、大数据、人工智能等为代表的前沿技术多维创新、多点突破,在更广范围推动着思想、文化、信息的传播和共享,深刻改变着人们的生产生活,深刻改变着宣传思想文化工作的理念、手段和对象,为增强主流意识形态引领力和影响力提供了更广阔的平台。我们必须坚持守正创新,以新应新、以变应变,树立互联网思维、顺应互联网规律,主动深入互联网主阵地主战场,提高管网用网治网水平,使互联网这个最大变量变成事业发展的最大增量。
From the perspective of the international situation, we are required to be more daring, capable, and adept. The changes unseen in a century are accelerating, the trend of “the East rising and the West declining” is becoming increasingly prominent. Some Western countries are more panicked and anxious about China’s development momentum. Some politicians repeatedly hype anti-China topics. Factors such as public opinion warfare, psychological warfare, and cognitive warfare in the game between major powers are becoming more prominent, and the struggle in the ideological field is becoming more complex and acute. We must dare to struggle and be good at struggle, maintain strategic focus, enhance confidence in victory, and firmly grasp the initiative and dominance in ideological work.
从国际形势看,要求我们更加敢为有为善为。百年变局加速演进,“东升西降”趋势日益凸显,一些西方国家对中国发展势头更为恐慌焦虑,一些政客反复炒作反华议题,大国博弈中的舆论战、心理战、认知战等因素更加凸显,意识形态领域斗争更加复杂尖锐。我们必须敢于斗争、善于斗争,保持战略定力,增强必胜信心,牢牢掌握意识形态工作主动权、主导权。
III. Effectively Enhance the Targetedness and Effectiveness of Ideological Work
三、切实增强做好意识形态工作的针对性实效性
In the new year, we must deeply study and implement Xi Jinping’s cultural thought, earnestly implement the spirit of the National Conference on Propaganda, Ideology, and Cultural Work and the spirit of the National Conference of Directors of Propaganda Departments, adhere to bottom-line thinking and extreme thinking, do a more solid and effective job of preventing risks and ensuring safety, and continuously consolidate the upward and positive trend in the ideological field.
