Using the Party’s Innovative Theory to Transform the Subjective World and the Objective World

臧安民:用党的创新理论改造主观世界和客观世界

· · Ideological & Political Education · People’s Daily (24 September 2025, p. 9) · 23 min read

The subjective and the objective constitute a fundamental pair of contradictions in human practical activity. A scientific worldview and methodology are the “master key” for studying and solving problems. Consciously using the Party’s innovative theory to transform the subjective world and the objective world is a fine tradition of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “The entire purpose of studying the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era lies in its application, in turning this thought into a powerful ideological weapon for transforming the subjective world and the objective world,” and “especially in transforming its worldview, methodology, and the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods that run through it into one’s own ideological weapon.” [1]1 The Four Greats (四个伟大) refers to the four interrelated tasks: great struggle, great project, great cause, and great dream. The scientific worldview and methodology contained in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era reveal the essence, internal relations, and laws of development of things. They are committed not only to scientifically explaining the world but also to actively transforming it; they guide us not only in transforming the objective world but also in transforming the subjective world.

主观与客观是人类实践活动中的一对基本矛盾。科学的世界观和方法论是我们研究问题、解决问题的“总钥匙”。自觉用党的创新理论改造主观世界与客观世界,是中国共产党的优良传统。习近平总书记指出:“学习新时代中国特色社会主义思想的目的全在于运用,在于把这一思想变成改造主观世界和客观世界的强大思想武器”“特别是要把这一思想的世界观、方法论和贯穿其中的立场观点方法转化为自己的思想武器”。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想蕴含的科学的世界观和方法论,揭示了事物的本质、内在联系及发展规律,不仅致力于科学地解释世界,而且致力于积极地改造世界;不仅指导我们改造客观世界,同时也指导我们改造主观世界。

Advancing the great cause of building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation through Chinese-path modernization is a great and glorious undertaking, as well as a journey full of challenges and hardships. It is imperative to adhere to a correct worldview and methodology and to maintain the sobriety and resolve needed to address the unique difficulties of a large party. [2]2 “Not be blinded by floating clouds” is a line from the Song-dynasty poet Wang Anshi’s poem “Climbing Feilai Peak”; “remain calm amidst chaotic clouds flying” is from Mao Zedong’s poem “The PLA Captures Nanjing.” Both are used here as metaphors for maintaining political clarity and composure. On the new journey of the New Era, we must deeply study and thoroughly comprehend Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, persist in integrating learning, thinking, and application, and unifying knowledge, belief, and action. We must continuously strengthen political identification, ideological identification, theoretical identification, and emotional identification, so as to better transform the Party’s innovative theory into a powerful force for firming up ideals, tempering Party spirit, guiding practice, and advancing work.

以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业,是一项伟大而光辉的事业,也是充满挑战与艰辛的征程,必须坚持正确的世界观和方法论,保持解决大党独有难题的清醒和坚定。新时代新征程,我们要深学细悟习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,坚持学思用贯通、知信行统一,不断增强政治认同、思想认同、理论认同、情感认同,更好地把党的创新理论转化为坚定理想、锤炼党性和指导实践、推动工作的强大力量。

To truly understand, thoroughly grasp, and effectively apply the Party’s innovative theory, using a scientific worldview and methodology to guide the resolution of China’s practical problems, and to propel the entire Party to use the Party’s innovative theory as a weapon to transform the subjective world and the objective world.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,用科学的世界观和方法论指导解决中国的实际问题,推动全党以党的创新理论为武器改造主观世界和客观世界

Possessing the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the fundamental basis for our Party to firmly uphold its faith and convictions and to grasp the historical initiative. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era adheres to integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities, scientifically observing the era, grasping the era, and leading the era. It adheres to integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with the best of traditional Chinese culture, using Marxism to activate the vital factors within the best of traditional Chinese culture, endowing them with new contemporary connotations, coalescing them into new theoretical advantages, and continuously scaling new ideological heights. At the same time, with an open-mindedness that embraces all rivers, it draws on all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, extracting excellent ideological and cultural resources from the “sum total of human knowledge” to innovate and develop the Party’s theory, thereby forming a grand theoretical landscape and atmosphere that is inclusive and draws on the strengths of all.

拥有马克思主义科学理论指导,是我们党坚定信仰信念、把握历史主动的根本所在。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合,科学观察时代、把握时代、引领时代;坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中华优秀传统文化相结合,用马克思主义激活中华优秀传统文化中富有生命力的优秀因子并赋予新的时代内涵,聚变为新的理论优势,不断攀登新的思想高峰。同时,以海纳百川的开放胸襟借鉴人类社会一切优秀文明成果,在“人类知识的总和”中汲取优秀思想文化资源来创新和发展党的理论,形成兼容并蓄、博采众长的理论大格局大气象。

On the new journey of the New Era, as we write a new answer sheet worthy of history, worthy of the era, and worthy of the people, we must truly understand, thoroughly grasp, and effectively apply the Party’s innovative theory. We must unremittingly deepen, internalize, and transform the Party’s innovative theory into the “nourishment” for transforming the subjective world and the “key” for transforming the objective world, fully demonstrating the truth power and practical force of the Party’s innovative theory in solving problems and promoting development.

新时代新征程,我们书写不负历史、不负时代、不负人民的崭新答卷,必须学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,坚持不懈把党的创新理论深化内化转化为改造主观世界的“营养”和改造客观世界的“钥匙”,在解难题、促发展中充分彰显党的创新理论的真理力量和实践伟力。

To truly understand, thoroughly grasp, and effectively apply the Party’s innovative theory, we must adhere to the fundamental stance of putting the people first. The people-centered nature is the essential attribute of Marxism, and the people’s stance is the fundamental political stance of the Communist Party of China. Adhering to putting the people first enriches and develops the theory of the political attributes and political functions of a Marxist party, manifests our Party’s childlike heart of always breathing the same breath, sharing the same fate, and being heart-to-heart with the people, and points to the righteous path of relying on the people to advance history. In October 1945, Comrade Mao Zedong, when introducing Comrade Xi Zhongxun to comrades within the Party, said: “We must select a young comrade to serve as the secretary of the Northwest Bureau, that is Xi Zhongxun. He is a mass leader who emerged from the masses.” [3]3 The Two Establishments (两个确立) refers to establishing Comrade 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 American scholar Sidney Rittenberg, who had traveled with Comrade Xi Zhongxun from Suide in Shaanxi all the way to Yan’an, recalled: “Wherever he went, it seemed he knew people in every village. He would meet someone and say, ‘Has your wife’s illness gotten better?’ He would meet another and say, ‘Has your father’s backache improved?’” “Among all the people in Guanzhong, whether adults or children, everyone knew him and everyone liked him.” [4]4 The Two Upholds (两个维护) refers to upholding Comrade 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. A piece of organizational appraisal material preserved in Comrade Xi Zhongxun’s file vividly reflects the fish-and-water relationship between Comrade Xi Zhongxun and the masses. In the New Era, our Party has united and led the people to win the largest-scale battle against poverty in human history, historically resolving the issue of absolute poverty; it has persisted in ensuring and improving people’s livelihoods through development; it has solidly advanced common prosperity for all the people; it has developed whole-process people’s democracy… All for the people, relying on the people, and always placing the people in the highest position in our hearts—this is the most distinctive political color of our Party. To truly understand, thoroughly grasp, and effectively apply the Party’s innovative theory, we must firmly take the people’s stance, practice the Party’s fundamental purpose, implement the mass line, maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the masses, and strive unremittingly to continuously meet the people’s aspirations for a better life.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持人民至上的根本立场。人民性是马克思主义的本质属性,人民立场是中国共产党的根本政治立场。坚持人民至上,是对马克思主义政党政治属性和政治功能理论的丰富发展,彰显了我们党始终与人民同呼吸、共命运、心连心的赤子之心,指明了依靠人民推动历史前进的人间正道。1945年10月,毛泽东同志在向党内同志介绍习仲勋同志时说:“要选择一位年轻的同志担任西北局书记,就是习仲勋,他是从群众中走出来的群众领袖。”曾和习仲勋同志从陕西绥德一路赶往延安的美国学者李敦白回忆:“他走到哪里,好像每一个村庄都有认识的人,他碰到这个人说,你婆姨的病好了没有,碰到那个人说,你爸爸的腰疼好了没有。”“凡是关中的人民,无论大人和小孩都知道他,都喜欢他。”一份保存在习仲勋同志档案中的组织鉴定材料生动反映了习仲勋同志同群众的鱼水情深。新时代,我们党团结带领人民打赢人类历史上规模最大的脱贫攻坚战,历史性地解决了绝对贫困问题;坚持在发展中保障和改善民生;扎实推进全体人民共同富裕;发展全过程人民民主……一切为了人民、一切依靠人民,始终把人民放在心中最高位置,是我们党最鲜明的政治底色。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须站稳人民立场,践行党的根本宗旨,贯彻党的群众路线,保持党同人民群众的血肉联系,为不断满足人民对美好生活的向往而努力奋斗。

To truly understand, thoroughly grasp, and effectively apply the Party’s innovative theory, we must adhere to the spiritual characteristic of self-confidence and self-reliance. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “The successful path of the Party’s century-long struggle was independently explored and opened up by the Party leading the people. The Chinese chapter of Marxism was realized by the Chinese Communists through their own efforts. A basic point running through all this is that China’s problems must be solved from China’s basic national conditions and by the Chinese people themselves.” Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持自信自立的精神特质。习近平总书记指出:“党的百年奋斗成功道路是党领导人民独立自主探索开辟出来的,马克思主义的中国篇章是中国共产党人依靠自身力量实践出来的,贯穿其中的一个基本点就是中国的问题必须从中国基本国情出发,由中国人自己来解答。”习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,生动体现和凝结着百余年来我们党坚持独立自主的伟大精神特质,贯穿着坚持走自己的路的坚定决心信心,充满着豪迈的历史担当和创造精神。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚定道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信,昂扬起“不信邪、不怕压、不避难”的精气神,在重大政治问题上有定力、有主见、有坚持,决不自失主张、自乱阵脚,努力创造出更多令人刮目相看的人间奇迹。

To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, one must adhere to the theoretical character of upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground (守正创新). Engels pointed out: “Marx’s whole world outlook is not a doctrine but a method. It provides not ready-made dogmas but starting points for further research and the method for this research.” General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground is an important ideological method for our Party in governing the country in the New Era.” “No matter how the times develop, we must stimulate the national wisdom of upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground and forging ahead courageously.” Adhering to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground is the enrichment and development of Marxist epistemology and dialectical materialism by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, marking a new height in the development of Marxism with original theoretical contributions. To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, one must grasp the relationship between “change” and “constancy,” inheritance and development, principle and creativity. On fundamental issues concerning the Party’s leadership and China’s socialist system, one must be firm in stance, clear in orientation, and unswerving. At the same time, one must treat all new things with full enthusiasm, allowing the vitality of innovation and creation to fully surge and compete, and promoting the cause of the Party and the state to foster new opportunities amid crises and open up new prospects amid changing circumstances.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持守正创新的理论品格。恩格斯指出:“马克思的整个世界观不是教义,而是方法。它提供的不是现成的教条,而是进一步研究的出发点和供这种研究使用的方法。”习近平总书记指出:“守正创新是我们党在新时代治国理政的重要思想方法。”“无论时代如何发展,我们都要激发守正创新、奋勇向前的民族智慧。”坚持守正创新,是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想对马克思主义认识论和唯物辩证法的丰富发展,以原创性理论贡献标注了马克思主义发展的新高度。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须把握好“变”与“不变”、继承与发展、原则性与创造性的关系,在涉及党的领导和我国社会主义制度等根本性问题上,立场坚定、旗帜鲜明、毫不动摇,同时以满腔热忱对待一切新生事物,让创新创造的活力充分涌流、竞相迸发,推动党和国家各项事业在危机中育新机、于变局中开新局。

To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must adhere to the practical requirement of a problem-oriented approach. Problems are the forms in which contradictions in things manifest themselves, and they are the voice of the times. A distinctive feature of Marxism is that it is consistently permeated with a strong problem-consciousness, dedicated to raising new questions and seeking scientific answers. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Every era has its own problems; as long as we scientifically recognise, accurately grasp, and correctly resolve these problems, we can continuously push our society forward.” Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era focuses on new problems encountered in practice, deep-seated problems in reform, development, and stability, problems of urgent concern to the people, major problems in the international changes, and prominent problems facing Party building, constantly putting forward new concepts, new ideas, and new methods to solve problems. This reflects a strong problem-consciousness and superb political wisdom, enabling us to firmly grasp the initiative and leadership in reform and development. To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must enhance problem-consciousness, adhere to a problem-oriented approach, deeply contemplate and comprehensively grasp the major theoretical and practical problems facing China’s development and our Party’s governance in the New Era, scientifically answer the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times, and propel the cause of the Party and the state to continuously achieve new great accomplishments.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持问题导向的实践要求。问题是事物矛盾的表现形式,是时代的声音。马克思主义的一个鲜明特点是自始至终贯穿着强烈的问题意识,致力于提出新问题并寻求科学的答案。习近平总书记指出:“每个时代总有属于它自己的问题,只要科学地认识、准确地把握、正确地解决这些问题,就能够把我们的社会不断推向前进。”习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想聚焦实践遇到的新问题、改革发展稳定存在的深层次问题、人民群众急难愁盼问题、国际变局中的重大问题、党的建设面临的突出问题,不断提出解决问题的新理念新思路新办法,体现出强烈的问题意识和高超的政治智慧,使我们能够牢牢把握住改革发展的主动权、主导权。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须增强问题意识、坚持问题导向,深入思考和全面把握新时代我国发展和我们党执政面临的重大理论和实践问题,科学回答中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问,推动党和国家事业不断取得新的伟大成就。

To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must adhere to the scientific method of a systems perspective. Engels pointed out: “When we consider nature, or human history, or our own spiritual activity, the first picture presented to us is of an endless entanglement of relations and interactions, in which nothing remains what, where, and as it was, but everything moves, changes, comes into being, and passes away.” The systems perspective is a fundamental way of thinking and working. From emphasising keeping in mind both the domestic and international situations, to coordinating the advancement of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, to coordinating development and security… Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, from the strategic height of systematicity, wholeness, and comprehensiveness, takes into overall consideration and makes an overall plan for the work in all fields and aspects of Chinese-path modernization, providing a guide to action and a scientific path for fulfilling the mission and tasks of the Communist Party of China in the New Era and on the new journey. To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must be adept at seeing reality through history and grasping the essence through phenomena, properly handle the relationships between the whole and the part, the present and the long-term, the macro and the micro, the principal contradiction and secondary contradictions, and the particular and the general, continuously improve our capabilities in strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systems thinking, innovative thinking, law-based thinking, and bottom-line thinking, so that various reform and development measures coordinate with each other, various tasks promote each other, and various outcomes complement each other.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持系统观念的科学方法。恩格斯指出:“当我们深思熟虑地考察自然界或人类历史或我们自己的精神活动的时候,首先呈现在我们眼前的,是一幅由种种联系和相互作用无穷无尽地交织起来的画面,其中没有任何东西是不动的和不变的,而是一切都在运动、变化、产生和消失。”系统观念是具有基础性的思想和工作方法。从强调胸怀国内国际两个大局,到统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局、协调推进“四个全面”战略布局,再到统筹发展和安全……习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想从系统性、整体性、全局性的战略高度对中国式现代化建设各领域各方面的工作统筹兼顾、整体谋划,为完成新时代新征程中国共产党的使命任务提供了行动指南和科学路径。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须善于通过历史看现实、透过现象看本质,把握好全局和局部、当前和长远、宏观和微观、主要矛盾和次要矛盾、特殊和一般的关系,不断提高战略思维、历史思维、辩证思维、系统思维、创新思维、法治思维、底线思维能力,使改革发展各项举措相互配合、各项工作相互促进、各项成果相得益彰。

To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must adhere to the global vision of embracing the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “The Chinese people have an indelible memory of the sufferings brought by war and a tireless pursuit of peace; they deeply cherish a peaceful and stable life. What the Chinese people fear most is turmoil, what they seek is stability, and what they hope for is lasting peace under heaven.” The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and it is also a party that seeks progress for humanity and harmony for the world. Proposing the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilisation Initiative, the Global Governance Initiative… Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, standing at the height of a community with a shared future for mankind, profoundly grasps the development and changes in the relationship between China and the world. It promotes common development among all countries while seeking its own development, and achieves its own development through the common development of all countries, providing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for promoting world development, prosperity, peace, and progress, and demonstrating the great vision, great sentiment, and great pattern of a major party and a major country. To truly understand, grasp, and implement the Party’s innovative theory, we must broaden our global perspective, conform to the trends of human development and progress, place our own development within the coordinate system of world development, and make significant contributions to building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, and clean and beautiful.

学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须坚持胸怀天下的世界情怀。习近平总书记指出:“中国人民对战争带来的苦难有着刻骨铭心的记忆,对和平有着孜孜不倦的追求,十分珍惜和平安定的生活。中国人民怕的就是动荡,求的就是稳定,盼的就是天下太平。”中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党,也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党。提出推动构建人类命运共同体理念、全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议、全球治理倡议……习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,站在人类命运共同体的高度,深刻把握中国与世界关系的发展变化,既在谋求自身发展中促进各国共同发展,又在各国共同发展中实现自身发展,为推动世界发展繁荣、和平进步提供了中国智慧、中国方案,彰显了大党、大国的大境界大情怀大格局。学懂弄通做实党的创新理论,必须拓展世界眼光,顺应人类发展进步潮流,把自身发展置于世界发展的坐标系之中,为建设持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界作出重要贡献。

Unremittingly enhance political capability and improve leadership level, grasp historical initiative with theoretical initiative, so that one’s ideological realm matches the work responsibilities one undertakes.

坚持不懈增强政治能力、提高领导水平,以理论的主动把握历史主动,使自己的思想境界与担负的工作职责相匹配

Marx, using the viewpoint of practice, transcended the opposition between the environment determining people and people changing the environment, pointing out that “the coincidence of the changing of circumstances and of human activity or self-change can be conceived and rationally understood only as revolutionary practice,” and that the proletariat “in revolutionary activity” “changes itself while changing the environment.” Chinese-path modernization is the broad road to building a strong country and national rejuvenation, opening up a new path for humanity’s march toward modernization and creating a new form of human civilisation. For our Party, this is both a glorious historical mission and a severe practical test. For Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, it is urgent to use the Party’s innovative theory to remould the subjective world and the objective world, continuously sharpen political character, enhance political capability, and effectively shoulder the political responsibilities entrusted by the Party and the people.

马克思运用实践的观点,超越环境决定人和人改变环境的对立,指出“环境的改变和人的活动或自我改变的一致,只能被看作是并合理地理解为革命的实践”,而“在革命活动中”的无产阶级“在改造环境的同时也改变着自己”。中国式现代化是强国建设、民族复兴的康庄大道,开辟的是人类迈向现代化的新道路,开创的是人类文明新形态。对我们党而言,这既是光荣的历史使命,也是严峻的现实考验。对党员干部特别是领导干部来说,迫切需要用党的创新理论改造主观世界和客观世界,不断砥砺政治品格,增强政治能力,切实担负起党和人民赋予的政治责任。

Keep in mind that the most important capability for performing duties is political capability, and strive to improve political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution, ensuring that one always maintains a high degree of alignment with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in thought, politics, and action. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Among the various capabilities needed by cadres to do their work well, political capability is the foremost.” Enhancing political capability is concrete, vivid, and practical; the key is to think more, understand deeply, and fully study and grasp the scientific system, core essence, and practical requirements of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, continuously consolidating the ideological foundation for strengthening historical confidence, enhancing historical initiative, and improving capability and competence. Closely combine with the magnificent historical process and great transformations of the New Era to profoundly grasp the practical foundation for the emergence and development of the Party’s innovative theory; closely combine with the era’s requirements of overseeing the Four Greats [n], coordinating the advancement of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan, and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy to profoundly grasp the new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies of the Party’s innovative theory on governance; closely combine with one’s own work responsibilities to profoundly grasp the important expositions of the Party’s innovative theory on related fields, as well as the ideas, measures, and methods for doing specific work, continuously enhance the ability to distinguish political right from wrong, maintain political resolve, steer political situations, and prevent political risks, so that at any time and under any circumstances one can “not be blinded by floating clouds” and “remain calm amidst chaotic clouds flying.” [n] The greatest virtue under heaven is loyalty. To enhance political capability, the most important thing is to take a clear stand on politics, always be loyal to the Party, loyal to the people, and loyal to Marxism, deeply comprehend the decisive significance of the Two Establishments [n], resolutely achieve the Two Upholds [n], truly unite under the Party’s banner into “a solid piece of steel,” think with one mind, exert strength in one direction, and march forward in unison.

牢记最重要的履职能力是政治能力,着力提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力,确保自己始终在思想上政治上行动上同以习近平同志为核心的党中央保持高度一致。习近平总书记指出:“在干部干好工作所需的各种能力中,政治能力是第一位的。”增强政治能力,是具体的、生动的、实践的,关键是要多思多想、学深悟透、全面学习领会习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的科学体系、核心要义、实践要求,不断夯实坚定历史自信、增强历史主动、提高能力本领的思想根基。紧密结合新时代波澜壮阔的历史进程和伟大变革,深刻把握党的创新理论产生和发展的实践基础;紧密结合统揽“四个伟大”、统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局、协调推进“四个全面”战略布局的时代要求,深刻把握党的创新理论关于治国理政的新理念新思想新战略;紧密结合自己的工作职责,深刻把握党的创新理论关于相关领域的重要论述,以及做好具体工作的思路举措方法,不断增强辨别政治是非、保持政治定力、驾驭政治局面、防范政治风险的能力,在任何时候、任何情况下都能“不畏浮云遮望眼”“乱云飞渡仍从容”。天下至德,莫过于忠。增强政治能力,最重要的是要旗帜鲜明讲政治,始终忠诚于党、忠诚于人民、忠诚于马克思主义,深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义,坚决做到“两个维护”,真正在党的旗帜下团结成“一块坚硬的钢铁”,心往一处想、劲往一处使,步调一致向前进。

Following the Party Constitution, which is the fundamental law within the Party, upholding the Party’s nature and purpose, and firmly establishing a people-centered development thinking. The Party Constitution is the fundamental law of the Party and the overarching rule that the entire Party must follow. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Party Constitution is the general charter for our Party’s establishment, governance, and management, and it is the most basic, most important, and most comprehensive code of conduct for the entire Party.” On November 20, 2012, just after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the CPC

遵循党章这个党内根本大法,坚守党的性质宗旨,牢固树立以人民为中心的发展思想。党章是党的根本大法,是全党必须遵循的总规矩。习近平总书记指出:“党章是我们立党、治党、管党的总章程,是全党最基本、最重要、最全面的行为规范。”2012年11月20日,党的十八大刚刚闭幕,习近平总书记就在人民日报发表题为《认真学习党章 严格遵守党章》的重要文章,深刻阐述学习贯彻党章的重要性,引导各级党员干部自觉学习党章、遵守党章、贯彻党章、维护党章。党章明确规定“中国共产党自成立以来,始终把为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴作为自己的初心使命”,这决定了广大党员干部必须坚持以人民为中心、以百姓心为心,决定了人民对美好生活的向往就是我们的奋斗目标,决定了必须把最广大人民根本利益作为一切工作的出发点和落脚点。住窑洞、睡土炕、打水井,修淤地坝、建沼气池,谈及在陕西梁家河的知青岁月,习近平总书记感慨地说:“看到了人民群众的力量,看到了人民群众的根本,真正理解了老百姓,了解了社会,这个是最根本的。”党的十八大以来,无论是在脱贫攻坚的战场上数百万党员干部深入贫困地区,奋力拼搏,书写人类减贫史上的壮丽篇章,还是改善民生福祉,提升教育、医疗、就业等公共服务水平,加强社会保障体系建设……我们党始终顺应人民期待、倾听人民心声、回应人民关切。新征程上,党员干部特别是领导干部必须始终把人民放在心中最高位置,紧紧依靠人民,不断造福人民,才能赢得人民的衷心拥护和支持,书写出无愧于时代、无愧于历史、无愧于人民的辉煌篇章。

Establish a broad view, a long-term view, and a holistic view; insist on calculating the big picture and the long-term account; do not play petty tricks or resort to clever schemes; achieve both glory for one’s own domain and added luster for the whole. In 1936, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in “Problems of Strategy in China’s Revolutionary War”: “He who understands the whole understands the parts all the better, because the parts are subordinate to the

树立大局观、长远观、整体观,坚持算大账、算长远账,不打小算盘、不搞小聪明,做到既为一域争光,又为全局添彩。1936年,毛泽东同志在《中国革命战争的战略问题》中指出:“懂得了全局性的东西,就更会使用局部性的东西,因为局部性的东西是隶属于全局性的东西的。”习近平总书记强调:“各地区各部门要树立全国一盘棋思想,自觉在大局下行动,全力以赴把党中央确定的原则、明确的举措、提出的要求不折不扣贯彻落实好。”习近平总书记的重要论述,是对马克思主义关于整体与部分辩证关系理论的丰富发展。比如,加快建设全国统一大市场是以习近平同志为核心的党中央从全局和战略高度作出的重大决策,这就要求各地区各部门进一步破除地方保护主义和区域壁垒,努力促进要素资源畅通流动,为经济发展注入澎湃活力。今年上半年,我国国民经济稳中向好,国内生产总值同比增长5.3%;外贸顶压前行,货物贸易进出口规模创历史同期新高,其中出口同比增长7.2%;高技术产业增加值同比增长9.5%,新兴产业茁壮成长,新质生产力深刻改变着中国经济的内涵和能级,都是全国一盘棋的力证。党员干部特别是领导干部,必须心怀“国之大者”“党之大计”“民之关切”,不能将眼界和目光局限在自己的“一亩三分地”,要自觉把工作放在党和国家发展全局中、放在国内国际两个大局中去思考、去谋划、去落实,防止单兵突进、各行其是,确保同向发力、形成合力,持续推动经济社会各项事业高质量发展。

Comprehensively strengthen all the capabilities needed to perform one’s duties and fulfill one’s responsibilities, grasp the historical initiative, strengthen the study and judgment of various risks and hidden dangers, make sufficient contingency plans, play the first move and fight the active battle [n5]. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “To fulfill the duties and missions entrusted by the Party and the people in the New Era, leading cadres must comprehensively strengthen their capabilities in all aspects and strive to become experts in their own work.” “A small bag cannot hold large things; a short rope cannot draw from a deep well.” [n6] Undertaking endeavors, overcoming difficulties and tackling tough problems require not only broad shoulders but also iron shoulders; not only political integrity but also superb skills. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must continuously strengthen ideological tempering, political training, practical exercise, and professional training, earnestly enhance the “eight capabilities” [n7] — the capability for learning, the capability for political leadership, the capability for reform and innovation, the capability for scientific development, the capability for law-based governance, the capability for mass work, the capability for grasping implementation, and the capability for managing risks — and constantly improve the “seven abilities” [n8] — political ability, investigation and research ability, scientific decision-making ability, reform and tackling tough problems ability, emergency response ability, mass work ability, and implementation ability — so that they can keep up with the requirements of the Party Central Committee, keep pace with the progress of the times, meet the needs of the development of the cause, possess the insight and implementation ability to know a deer has passed when the grass shakes and leaves rustle, to know a tiger is coming when the wind blows through the pines, and to know the change of the world when a leaf changes color [n9], can truly base themselves on the new stage of development, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development philosophy, construct the new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and firmly grasp the historical initiative of the development of the cause of the Party and the state in the New Era and the new journey.

全面增强履职尽责所需要的各方面本领,掌握历史主动,加强对各种风险隐患的研判,做足预案,下好先手棋、打好主动仗。习近平总书记指出:“履行好党和人民赋予的新时代职责使命,领导干部必须全面增强各方面本领,努力成为本职工作的行家里手。”“褚小者不可以怀大,绠短者不可以汲深。”干事创业、攻坚克难,不仅需要宽肩膀,也需要铁肩膀;不仅需要政治过硬,也需要本领高强。党员干部特别是领导干部要不断加强思想淬炼、政治历练、实践锻炼、专业训练,切实增强学习本领、政治领导本领、改革创新本领、科学发展本领、依法执政本领、群众工作本领、狠抓落实本领、驾驭风险本领等“八项本领”,不断提高政治能力、调查研究能力、科学决策能力、改革攻坚能力、应急处突能力、群众工作能力、抓落实能力等“七种能力”,使自己能够跟上党中央要求、跟上时代前进步伐、跟上事业发展需要,能够有草摇叶响知鹿过、松风一起知虎来、一叶易色而知天下秋的洞察力、落实力,能够真正立足新发展阶段,完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念,构建新发展格局,推动高质量发展,牢牢掌握新时代新征程党和国家事业发展的历史主动。

Temper a strong work style, make good use of the most simple methodology of being clean and doing work, and boldly doing work, and be a firm actionist and doer in Chinese-path modernization construction.

锤炼过硬作风,用好干净干事、大胆干事这个最质朴的方法论,当好中国式现代化建设的坚定行动派、实干家

Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in *On Practice*: “The struggle of the proletariat and the revolutionary people to transform the world includes the fulfillment of the following tasks: to transform the objective world, and also to transform their own subjective world — to transform their cognitive ability, and to transform the relationship between the subjective world and the objective world.” Using the Party’s innovative theory to transform the subjective world and the objective world, the key lies in action and the focus depends on hard work. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must focus on the central task of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, achieving the Second Centenary Goal [n10], and comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, strengthen historical confidence and enhance historical initiative, be both clean and diligent, both clean and do work, be energetic and enterprising, and write a more splendid chapter of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era.

毛泽东同志在《实践论》中指出:“无产阶级和革命人民改造世界的斗争,包括实现下述的任务:改造客观世界,也改造自己的主观世界——改造自己的认识能力,改造主观世界同客观世界的关系。”用党的创新理论改造主观世界和客观世界,关键看行动、重点靠实干。党员干部特别是领导干部必须聚焦全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标,以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的中心任务,坚定历史自信、增强历史主动,既廉又勤、既干净又干事,奋发有为、锐意进取,谱写新时代中国特色社会主义更加绚丽的篇章。

Firmly grasp the foundation of one’s standing: being clean and doing solid work. Being clean is the true colour of loyalty to the Party and clean governance, the self-discipline of having reverence in the heart, restraint in speech, and limits in action, and, even more, the political lifeline of Party members and cadres, the prerequisite and bottom line for undertaking work and starting enterprises. Whether it is Liu Qiyao, who carried gold bars while begging for years without touching a cent of Party funds, or Jiao Yulu, who “had the entire people in his heart but not himself”; whether it is Wang Jinxi, who said “not a single bit of public property may be touched,” or Gu Wenchang, who declared “when you are a leader, you must first wash your own hands clean and straighten your own backbone”… generation after generation of Chinese Communists, with the noble sentiment of “coming with a heart, and taking not a single blade of grass away,” have painted the clear and pure底色 of the Party’s glorious journey of more than a century. The *History of the Yuan Dynasty* records a small story about the Neo-Confucian scholar Xu Heng: on a scorching summer day, Xu Heng went out and saw passers-by picking pears from a roadside pear tree to quench their thirst, but he did not pick any. Someone asked him, “Now that the land is in chaos and war, this pear tree has no owner. Why don’t you pick a pear to eat?” Xu Heng replied, “The pear has no owner, but does my heart have no owner?”[11]11 A classical allusion from the *History of the Yuan Dynasty* (《元史》), biography of the Neo-Confucian scholar Xu Heng (许衡, 1209–1281). The story illustrates the principle of inner moral self-discipline even when external constraints are absent. Su Dongpo said: “Moreover, between heaven and earth, things each have their owner. If it is not what is mine, I will not take even a single hair.”[12]12 A quotation from Su Shi (苏轼, 1037–1101), better known as Su Dongpo, a celebrated Song-dynasty poet and essayist, from his prose piece “The Red Cliff” (《前赤壁赋》). It expresses the idea that one should not take what does not belong to one. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must, in each concrete practice and each specific matter, unify being a person and being an official, treat the process of being a person as a process of perfecting one’s own personality and consolidating the foundation of political service, and treat the process of being an official as a process of elevating the realm of political virtue and fulfilling the purpose of serving the people. They must always maintain a rigorous lifestyle, cultivate healthy life interests, preserve a noble spiritual pursuit, correctly choose personal hobbies, distinguish right from wrong, restrain oneself and act cautiously, be upright and honest, be indifferent to fame and fortune, be cautious when alone and cautious in small matters, and achieve tranquillity and far-reaching goals.

牢牢把握干净干事这一立身之本。干净,是对党忠诚、为政清廉的本色,是心有所畏、言有所戒、行有所止的自觉,更是党员干部的政治生命线、干事创业的前提和底线。无论是背着金条乞讨数年却分毫不动用党的经费的刘启耀,还是“心中装着全体人民、唯独没有他自己”的焦裕禄;无论是“公家的东西一分也不能沾”的王进喜,还是“当领导的要先把自己的手洗净,把自己的腰杆挺直”的谷文昌……一代又一代的中国共产党人用“捧着一颗心来,不带半根草去”的高尚情操,绘就了我们党百余年辉煌征程的清澈底色。《元史》中记载了理学家许衡的小故事:一个炎炎夏日,许衡外出,看见行人纷纷到路边一棵梨树下摘梨解渴,他却不去摘。有人问他,如今兵荒马乱,这棵梨树已经没有主人了,你为什么不去摘梨吃呢?许衡回答,“梨无主,吾心独无主乎?”苏东坡说:“且夫天地之间,物各有主,苟非吾之所有,虽一毫而莫取。”党员干部特别是领导干部要在一个个具体实践中、一件件具体事情中,把做人与做官统一起来,把做人的过程看作是完善自我人格、夯实从政基石的过程,把做官的过程看作是提升政德境界、践行为民宗旨的过程,始终保持严肃的生活作风,培养健康的生活情趣,保持高尚的精神追求,正确选择个人爱好,明辨是非、克己慎行,敦方正直、淡泊名利,慎独慎微、宁静致远。

Firmly grasp the key to achieving success: acting boldly. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Democratic Life Meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held from 26 to 27 December 2024: “Party discipline and undertaking work and starting enterprises are intrinsically unified. Discipline not only clarifies the bottom lines and boundaries that must not be touched, but also provides a code of conduct for Party members and cadres to be clean and to act boldly in their work and enterprises.” Undertaking work and starting enterprises has never been something that can be achieved smoothly and casually. Chinese-path modernization is an unprecedented pioneering undertaking; there are neither ready-made experiences to follow nor standard answers to refer to. It all the more requires the responsibility of acting boldly to break through shackles and blaze new trails. At present, our country faces various problems and challenges in areas such as scientific and technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and integrated urban-rural development. If one blindly seeks stability and fears mistakes, hesitating and wavering in undertaking work and starting enterprises, it will only cause problems to accumulate more and more. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must, on the one hand, establish the consciousness of “daring to act,” discard the negative thinking of “seeking stability” and “fearing chaos,” dare to break fixed patterns of thinking, and be brave in trying new methods and new paths; on the other hand, they must enhance the ability to “be good at acting,” accurately grasp the essence and laws of the development of things, achieve clarity in promoting reform and development, ensure that the direction of undertaking work and starting enterprises is not off course and the intensity is not reduced, and advance on the new journey and make contributions in the new era with full enthusiasm.

牢牢把握大胆干事这一成事之要。习近平总书记在2024年12月26日至27日召开的中共中央政治局民主生活会上指出:“党的纪律和干事创业是内在统一的。纪律既明确了不能触碰的底线和边界,也为党员、干部干净干事、大胆干事提供了行动准绳。”干事创业,从来不是四平八稳、随随便便就能成功的。中国式现代化是前无古人的开创性事业,既没有现成经验可以遵循,也没有标准答案可以参考,更需要以大胆干事的担当打破桎梏、开拓创新。当前,我国在科技创新、产业升级、城乡融合发展等领域面临各种各样的问题与挑战,若在干事创业中一味求稳怕错、畏首畏尾,只会让问题越积越多。党员干部特别是领导干部一方面要树立“敢为”的意识,摒弃“求稳”“怕乱”的消极思想,敢于打破思维定式,勇于尝试新方法、新路径;另一方面要提升“善为”的能力,准确把握事物发展的本质和规律,做到推动改革发展心中有数,确保干事创业方向不偏、力度不减,以满腔热忱奋进新征程、建功新时代。

Promote the fine style of “do it right away, and do it well once you start.” In the article “We Must ‘Do Solid Work,’ and Even More ‘Be Clean’” in *Zhejiang’s New Discourse*, Comrade Xi Jinping emphasised: “Leading cadres must not only want to do solid work, be willing to do solid work, and dare to do solid work, but also be able to do solid work, be capable of doing solid work, and accomplish solid work. Especially towards the cause, they must always maintain a vigorous and enterprising mental state. It is not just that superiors push them to do solid work, or the masses push them to do solid work; first of all, they themselves must always be full of passion and full of drive. Only by doing solid work in this way can they be more proactive and more conscious.” This exposition is extremely profound and thought-provoking. Cadres, cadres — the character “do” (干) comes first. At present, we are advancing on a new journey full of glory and dreams. The tasks of reform, development, and maintaining stability are arduous and heavy, and the risks and challenges are severe and complex. The more we face such a situation, the more we need a sense of mission of “if not me, then who?” and the spirit of “working tirelessly from dawn to dusk,” to strive vigorously and march forward courageously. To “do it right away, and do it well once you start,” it is also necessary to make good use of the basic skill of investigation and research. In August 1941, the “Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Investigation and Research,” drafted under the chairmanship of Comrade Mao Zedong, proposed many specific methods of investigation and research, including convening investigation meetings with experienced people, individual oral inquiries, and collecting and studying county gazetteers, prefectural gazetteers, provincial gazetteers, and genealogies. These requirements and methods still have important enlightening significance today. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, must keep in mind their duties and missions, fulfil the responsibilities they should fulfil and do the things they should do well in the process of understanding the real situation and seeking practical results, get down to doing real work, fight a real battle, and ensure that they are responsible for their posts, accountable for their posts, and fulfil their duties for their posts, ensuring that the important decisions made by the Party Central Committee and the major tasks defined are implemented with high quality and high efficiency, and strive to create extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts.

弘扬马上就办、办就办成的优良作风。习近平同志在《之江新语》中的《要“干事”,更要“干净”》一文中强调:“领导干部不仅要想干事、肯干事、敢干事,还要会干事、能干事、干成事,特别是对事业要始终保持奋发进取的精神状态,不仅仅是上级推着干、群众推着干,首先是自己要始终充满激情、充满干劲,这样去干事业,才能更加主动、更加自觉。”论述极为深刻,令人深思。干部干部,干字当头。当前,我们正奋进在充满光荣与梦想的新征程上,改革发展稳定任务艰巨繁重,风险挑战严峻复杂。越是面临这样的情况,越需要以“舍我其谁”的使命感、“夙夜在公”的精气神,踔厉奋发、勇毅前行。马上就办、办就办成,还要用好调查研究这个基本功。1941年8月,在毛泽东同志主持起草的《中共中央关于调查研究的决定》中,提出了不少调查研究的具体方法,包括邀集有经验的人开调查会,个别口头询问,收集县志、府志、省志、家谱加以研究等。这些要求和方法,至今仍然有着重要启示意义。党员干部特别是领导干部要牢记职责使命,在了解实情、务求实效中把该履行的责任履行好、把该干的事情干到位,扑下身子干实事、真刀真枪干一场,做到守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责,确保党中央作出的重要决策、明确的重大任务都能高质量、高效率地落实落地,努力在平凡的岗位中创造出不平凡的业绩。

Firmly establish a correct outlook on political performance. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised: “Undertaking work and starting enterprises must definitely establish a correct outlook on political performance.” “We must do both conspicuous achievements and inconspicuous achievements, not be concerned with personal fame, but pursue the good reputation of the masses and the true evaluation after the sedimentation of history.” For more than 20 years, Zhejiang has persistently implemented the “Eight-Eight Strategy,”[13]13 The “Eight-Eight Strategy” (八八战略) is a provincial development strategy for Zhejiang, first proposed by Xi Jinping in 2003 when he served as Party Secretary of Zhejiang. It outlines eight advantages and eight major measures for the province’s development. drawing one blueprint to the end, with one term of office following another in doing solid work, taking the lead in demonstrating in common prosperity and the process of Chinese-path modernization. For more than 60 years, generations of forest farm builders in Saihanba have continued to struggle, creating the world’s largest area of man-made forest and creating a world miracle in preventing desertification… Facts have repeatedly proven that when Communists do solid work and create political achievements, it is for the sake of the public good, guarding great righteousness, and seeking the greater self. It has always been for the benefit of the people, never for personal honour or disgrace, promotion or gain. To establish and practice a correct outlook on political performance, we must first consolidate Party spirit, which is the cornerstone of establishing oneself, one’s career, one’s virtue, and one’s words. When planning and advancing work, formulating policies and measures, promoting the implementation of work, and conducting effectiveness evaluations, we must always take meeting the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life as the starting point and落脚点, insist on “doing solid work” rather than “putting on a show,” “bringing benefit” rather than “creating a spectacle,” value “substance” rather than “face,” resolutely avoid the “impulse for political achievements,” and never engage in flashy, labour-wasting, and money-wasting “image projects” or “political achievement projects.” We must maintain historical patience, properly handle the relationships between stability and progress, establishment and abolition, the virtual and the real, the symptoms and the root, and the near and the distant, adhere to bottom-line thinking, strengthen risk awareness, and consciously integrate the new development concept into the entire process of economic and social development. With the spiritual realm of “success does not have to be mine” and the historical responsibility of “success must have me in it,” we must find the right direction, persevere, work for a long time to achieve results, and grasp implementation firmly, doing both the practical things that the people can see, touch, and benefit from, and the good things that pave the way, lay the foundation, and benefit the long term for future generations.

牢固树立正确政绩观。习近平总书记强调:“干事创业一定要树立正确政绩观”“既要做显功,也要做潜功,不计较个人功名,追求人民群众的好口碑、历史沉淀之后真正的评价”。浙江20多年来持之以恒实施“八八战略”,一张蓝图绘到底、一任接着一任干,在共同富裕和中国式现代化进程中示范先行;60多年来,塞罕坝一代代林场建设者接续奋斗,造出世界最大面积人工林海,创造了防止沙漠化的世界奇迹……事实一再证明,共产党人干事业、创政绩,为的是大公、守的是大义、求的是大我,从来都是为了造福人民,而不是为了个人荣辱、升迁得失。树立和践行正确政绩观,首先要夯实党性这个立身立业立言立德的基石,在谋划推进工作、制定政策措施、推动工作落实、开展成效评价时,始终把满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要作为出发点和落脚点,坚持“做事”不“作秀”,“造福”不“造势”,重“里子”不重“面子”,坚决避免“政绩冲动症”,决不搞华而不实、劳民伤财的“形象工程”“政绩工程”。要保持历史耐心,处理好稳和进、立和破、虚和实、标和本、近和远的关系,坚持底线思维,强化风险意识,自觉把新发展理念贯穿到经济社会发展全过程,以“功成不必在我”的精神境界和“功成必定有我”的历史担当,找准方向、锲而不舍、久久为功、狠抓落实,既做让老百姓看得见、摸得着、得实惠的实事,又做为后人作铺垫、打基础、利长远的好事。

Comrade Mao Zedong once envisioned in *On Practice*: “When the world reaches the stage where all humanity consciously remoulds itself and remoulds the world, that will be the era of communism in the world.” Scientific theory and great practice interact with each other; advanced thought and great undertakings reflect each other. On the new journey, remoulding the subjective world and the objective world with the Party’s innovative theory is always intrinsically unified; only by correctly grasping this pair of relationships can we deeply understand the dialectical unity of the Party’s self-revolution and social revolution. Only when we have in our minds the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and deeply comprehend the essence and essential meaning of the Party’s innovative theory in the New Era, can we understand complex practice and objective things with the correct standpoint and scientific attitude, grasp the inherent laws of the development of things, and correctly understand and implement the Party’s line, principles, and policies. To take the Party’s innovative theory in the New Era as a weapon for remoulding the subjective world and the objective world, we must persist in unremittingly remoulding the subjective world while remoulding the objective world, strengthen ideals and temper Party spirit, and then use the results of remoulding the subjective world to advance the remoulding of the objective world on the new journey. In the benign interaction between the remoulding of the subjective world and the objective world, the entire Party will always maintain unified thought, firm will, coordinated action, and strong combat effectiveness, and continuously create new brilliance in the development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics on the new journey.

毛泽东同志曾在《实践论》中这样设想:“世界到了全人类都自觉地改造自己和改造世界的时候,那就是世界的共产主义时代。”科学的理论与伟大的实践相互激荡,先进的思想与伟大的事业彼此辉映。新征程上,用党的创新理论改造主观世界和客观世界始终是内在统一的;也只有正确把握这对关系,才能深刻认识到党的自我革命与社会革命的辩证统一。只有头脑里有辩证唯物主义、历史唯物主义的世界观和方法论,深刻领悟新时代党的创新理论的精髓要义,才能以正确的立场和科学的态度认识复杂实践、客观事物,才能把握事物发展的内在规律,才能正确理解和执行党的路线方针政策。把新时代党的创新理论作为改造主观世界和客观世界的武器,就要坚持在改造客观世界的同时持之以恒改造主观世界,坚定理想、锤炼党性,又以改造主观世界的成效推进新征程上客观世界的改造,在主观世界与客观世界改造的良性互动中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,在新征程上不断创造中国特色社会主义事业发展新辉煌。
