Laying a Solid Foundation for the Basic Skills of Ideological and Political Work

Ideological and political work is the lifeline of all work. In September 2025, the Party Central Committee issued the Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Ideological and Political Work (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), requiring all regions and departments to earnestly implement them. The Regulations emphasize that all Party members, especially leading cadres, should cultivate the habit of conducting ideological and political work, continuously improve their ability in this area, and be adept at carrying out thorough and meticulous ideological and political work. This requires that the vast number of Party members and cadres must lay a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work, fully leverage its guiding role, and better unify thinking, build consensus, and gather strength.

思想政治工作是一切工作的生命线。2025年9月，党中央印发《中国共产党思想政治工作条例》（以下简称《条例》），要求各地区各部门认真遵照执行。《条例》强调，全体党员特别是领导干部应当养成做思想政治工作的习惯，不断提高思想政治工作能力，善于做深入细致的思想政治工作。这就要求广大党员、干部必须打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功，充分发挥思想政治工作的引领作用，更好统一思想、凝聚共识、汇聚力量。

一

Ideological and political work is a highly challenging and complex task, involving all aspects of social life. Laying a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work cannot be separated from the tempering of abilities and the cultivation of qualities in multiple areas. Among these, at least the following points should be grasped.

思想政治工作是一项极具挑战性的复杂工作，涉及社会生活的方方面面。打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功，离不开多方面的能力锤炼与素质养成。其中，至少应把握以下几点。

Political steadfastness in taking a firm stand and keeping the correct direction. This is the "ballast stone" of ideological and political work, the foundation that ensures the work does not deviate or go astray. The vast number of Party members and cadres must take upholding political integrity as their primary requirement, forge political loyalty, and be of one mind and one heart with the Party Central Committee at all times and under all circumstances. Upholding political integrity is by no means an empty slogan; it must be embodied in concrete actions: when faced with major issues of right and wrong, on matters of political principle, one must maintain exceptional clarity of mind and firmness of stance, dare to draw one's sword, consciously resist all kinds of erroneous ideological trends, and resolutely struggle against all words and deeds that attack the Party's leadership and negate the socialist system; when handling complex and sensitive issues, one must have the vision to examine problems from a political perspective, be careful to guard against "low-level red" and "high-level black" [1]1 The "first agenda" (第一议题) refers to a mechanism in Party organizations where studying and implementing the latest important speeches and instructions of the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi, and firmly grasp the initiative in the work.

站稳立场、把准方向的政治定力。这是思想政治工作的“压舱石”，是确保工作不偏向、不走样的根基所在。广大党员、干部必须把讲政治作为第一要求，筑牢政治忠诚，任何时候任何情况下都要同党中央同心同德。讲政治绝非空洞口号，而要体现在具体行动上：在大是大非面前、在政治原则问题上做到头脑特别清醒、立场特别坚定，敢于亮剑，自觉抵制各类错误思潮，坚决同一切攻击党的领导、否定社会主义制度的言行作斗争；处理复杂敏感问题时，要有从政治上看问题的眼光，注意防止“低级红”、“高级黑”，牢牢掌握工作主动权。

The ability to integrate theory with practice. To do ideological and political work well, one not only needs to deeply study and thoroughly comprehend the Party's innovative theories, accurately grasp the national policies and their spiritual essence, but also must turn the theoretical perspective toward vivid reality, become familiar with the actual foundation of local development, resource endowments, and local customs, identify the entry points and integration points for policy implementation, organically integrate policy spirit with local realities, transform abstract theories into concrete action guides, achieving both "connecting with the central authorities" and "staying grounded," so that ideological guidance has warmth and policy implementation has force.

将理论与实际相融合的能力。做好思想政治工作，不仅需要深学细悟党的创新理论，准确把握国家大政方针及其精神实质，也要将理论视角投向生动的现实，熟悉地方发展的现实基础、资源禀赋、风土人情，找准政策落地的切入点与结合点，把政策精神与地方实际有机融合，将抽象的理论转化为具体的行动指南，做到既“接天线”又“接地气”，让思想引导有温度、政策落地有力度。

Profound and keen insight. Society is developing rapidly, and ideological concepts are diverse and active. Conducting ideological and political work requires a broad historical perspective and strategic thinking. One must not only discern the new methods and characteristics of Western ideological infiltration, grasp the complex dynamics of the exchange, interaction, and confrontation of ideas and cultures; but also keenly capture the new trends in ideological concepts brought about by changes in social structure and the adjustment of interest patterns, perceive the new changes in value orientations and interest demands of different groups such as young students and workers in new forms of employment, seize the essence amidst complex phenomena, and identify the mainstream amidst the cacophony of voices.

深刻敏锐的洞察能力。社会在快速发展，思想观念多元活跃，做思想政治工作必须具备宏阔历史视野与战略思维，既要洞察西方意识形态渗透新手法、新特点，把握思想文化交流交融交锋的复杂态势；又要敏锐捕捉社会结构变化、利益格局调整带来的思想观念新动向，感知青年学生、新就业形态人员等不同群体在价值取向、利益诉求上的新变化，于纷繁现象中抓住本质、在众声喧哗中辨明主流。

The ability to innovate in keeping with the times. Keep pace with the times, deeply study the laws of public opinion dissemination and ideological and political work under the new circumstances, skillfully use new media and new technologies to empower ideological and political work, focus on discourse transformation and discourse innovation, integrate "big principles" into "small stories," convert "document language" into "everyday talk," and achieve "precise drip irrigation" [2]2 "Precise drip irrigation" (精准滴灌) is a metaphor drawn from agricultural irrigation, used in Chinese political discourse to describe targeted, individualized ideological and political work, as opposed to the "flood irrigation" (大水漫灌) of one-size-fits-all propaganda. according to the cognitive characteristics of different targets. Use "youth language" to dialogue with young people, use "local dialects and proverbs" to explain policy changes, provide timely voice guidance on major events and at key nodes, promote the transformation of ideological and political work from one-way indoctrination to two-way interaction, and truly achieve the effect of entering the ears, entering the mind, and entering the heart.

与时俱进的创新能力。紧跟时代步伐，深入研究新形势下舆论传播与思想政治工作规律，善用新媒体、新技术为思想政治工作赋能，注重做好话语转换、话语创新，将“大道理”融入“小故事”，把“文件语”转化为“家常话”，针对不同对象认知特点，实现“精准滴灌”。用“青言青语”与青年对话，以“乡音俚语”讲述政策变化，对重大事件、在关键节点及时发声引导，推动思想政治工作从单向灌输转为双向互动，真正实现入耳入脑入心的效果。

二

Ideological and political work is a highly practical task, requiring continuous improvement of capabilities and innovation of working ideas and methods in response to the changes of the times and in solving practical problems. However, judging from the actual situation, some Party members and cadres still have problems of unsolid and inadequate basic skills when carrying out ideological and political work, which affects the actual effectiveness of the work and urgently requires high attention and resolution.

思想政治工作是一项实践性很强的工作，需要在回应时代变化、解决现实问题中不断提升能力、创新工作思路方法。然而，从现实情况看，一些党员、干部在开展思想政治工作时，仍存在基本功不扎实、不到位的问题，影响工作的实际成效，亟须引起高度重视并加以解决。

Deviations in political stance, political capabilities need improvement. Some Party members and cadres have weak political acumen and political discernment, lack the ability to examine, analyze, and handle problems from a political height, are not good at judging political trends from professional work, identifying political essence from daily phenomena, discovering political clues from tendencies and budding problems, and grasping political logic from complex and contradictory relationships. Some regard ideological and political work as a "soft indicator" of empty talk, thinking it is not as practical or easy to produce political achievements as focusing on the economy or launching projects, thus paying insufficient attention to ideological and political work; some lack a sense of the overall situation, have no clear understanding of the "great affairs of the state" [3]3 "Great affairs of the state" (国之大者) is a term used by Xi Jinping to refer to the most fundamental and overarching issues concerning the long-term development of the Party and the country, which all cadres must keep firmly in mind., and cannot consciously place their own work within the overall context of the Party and the country's development for consideration and planning; some have only a superficial understanding of the Party's innovative theories, stopping at the surface, and find it difficult to use their standpoints, viewpoints, and methods to analyze and solve practical problems; some lack in-depth understanding of the masses' ideological dynamics and social realities, and when faced with the masses' ideological confusion and cognitive deviations, they often cannot explain clearly or guide effectively, and even choose to evade.

政治站位存在偏差，政治能力有待提升。部分党员、干部政治敏锐性和政治鉴别力不强，缺乏从政治高度审视、分析、处理问题的能力，不善于从业务工作中研判政治动向、从日常现象中识别政治本质、从倾向性和苗头性问题中发现政治端倪、从错综复杂的矛盾关系中把握政治逻辑。有的把思想政治工作视为务虚的“软指标”，认为不如抓经济、上项目来得实在、易出政绩，对思想政治工作重视程度不足；有的全局观念欠缺，对“国之大者”心中无数，不能自觉将本职工作置于党和国家事业发展大局中思考谋划；有的对党的创新理论学习浅尝辄止，停留在表面，难以运用其立场观点方法分析和解决现实问题；有的对群众思想动态和社会现实缺乏深入了解，在面对群众思想困惑和认识偏差时，往往解释不清、引导不力，甚至选择逃避。

Inadequate grasp of the new situation and new characteristics of ideological and political work, insufficient ability for precise policy implementation. Some Party members and cadres have insufficient understanding of the profound changes in the domestic and international situation and their inherent laws, making it difficult to accurately see through phenomena to grasp the essence and scientifically predict their development trends. There is a lack of in-depth research on the characteristics of the internet era in the thinking and discourse habits of the youth group, neglecting their pursuit of personalized expression and interactive experience, resulting in a lack of targetedness and appeal in ideological and political work. For the new social strata with diverse ideological concepts and professional backgrounds, the existing working methods do not sufficiently match their characteristics, acceptance habits, and actual needs, and an effective mechanism for classified guidance and precise service has not yet been formed, so the coverage and effectiveness of the work need improvement.

对思想政治工作的新形势新特点把握不到位，精准施策能力仍有欠缺。部分党员、干部对国内外形势的深刻变化及其内在规律认识不足，难以准确透过现象看清本质并科学预测其发展趋势。对青少年群体在思维方式、话语习惯上呈现的网络时代特征缺乏深入研究，忽视其追求个性化表达与互动式体验的需求，导致思想政治工作的针对性和吸引力不足。对于思想观念多元、职业背景多样的新社会阶层，现有工作方式与他们的特点、接受习惯、现实需求等不够匹配，尚未形成有效的分类引导和精准服务机制，工作覆盖面和实效性有待提升。

Lack of innovation in methods and means, relatively single working methods. Some Party members and cadres have outdated working methods and rigid language, accustomed to holding large meetings, reading documents, and speaking in clichés, lacking appeal and感染力, making it difficult to evoke emotional resonance and ideological identification. Some have insufficient contact with the masses, cannot talk with the masses or sit on the same bench, have little understanding of the actual situation at the grassroots level, do not accurately grasp real demands, and have few methods and poor results in solving problems related to the vital interests of the people. Under information-based conditions, the scenarios and carriers of ideological and political work have undergone profound changes, placing higher demands on the ability to combine online and offline work, but many Party members and cadres have obvious capability deficiencies. Some lack skills such as guiding and interacting online, making it difficult to adapt to the fast-paced online communication environment; although many units have opened WeChat public accounts, short video accounts, etc., content production still remains at the level of "text copying" and "meeting records," failing to follow the laws of online communication for creative transformation and precise推送. Some, when propagating and explaining the Party's policies and theories at the grassroots level, often interpret them mechanically, unable to closely link them with local development and examples from the masses' lives for vivid transformation, resulting in a greatly reduced communication effect.

方式方法缺乏创新，工作手段较为单一。部分党员、干部工作方法过时、言语生硬，习惯于开大会、念文件、讲套话，缺乏吸引力与感染力，难以激发情感共鸣与思想认同。有的与群众联系不够紧密，同群众搭不上话、坐不到一条板凳上，对基层实情了解不多，对真实诉求把握不准，在解决人民群众切身利益问题上办法不多、效果不佳。在信息化条件下，思想政治工作的场景、载体发生深刻变化，对线上和线下相结合的工作能力提出更高要求，但不少党员、干部存在明显的能力不足。有的缺乏在网上进行引导和互动等技能，难以适应快节奏的网络传播环境；尽管很多单位已开设微信公众号、短视频账号等，但内容生产仍停留在“文字搬运”、“会议实录”层面，未能遵循网络传播规律进行创意转化和精准推送。有的在基层宣传阐释党的政策理论时，往往机械解读，不能紧密联系当地发展和群众身边事例进行生动转化，导致传播效果大打折扣。

The above problems collectively reflect that some Party members and cadres have a shallow understanding of the laws of ideological and political work and an inaccurate grasp of its contemporary nature, and there is still significant room for improvement in consolidating basic skills. It is imperative to earnestly grasp and implement ideological and political work as a regular and fundamental task, and truly lay a solid foundation of capability for fulfilling duties.

上述问题集中反映出，部分党员、干部对思想政治工作的规律性认识不深、时代性把握不准，在夯实基本功上仍有较大提升空间，必须切实将思想政治工作作为一项经常性、基础性工作抓紧抓实，真正打牢履职尽责的能力根基。

三

Adhering to centering on the central task and serving the overall situation is a principle that ideological and political work must follow. To lay a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work, one should identify the entry points and focal points of the work, deeply integrate ideological and political work with the central task, and ensure that wherever the central task advances, ideological and political work follows.

坚持围绕中心、服务大局是思想政治工作必须遵循的原则。打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功，应找准工作切入点和着力点，将思想政治工作与中心工作深度融合，做到中心工作推进到哪里，思想政治工作就跟进到哪里。

Ideological and political work has distinct political attributes and political functions; laying a solid foundation for the basic skills requires correctly grasping the political direction, firmly taking the political stand, and strengthening political responsibility. The primary task of ideological and political work is to promote the use of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to forge the soul and unite the people. We must make full use of institutional vehicles such as the theoretical study center groups of Party committees (leading Party members groups) and the "first agenda" [1]1 The "first agenda" (第一议题) refers to a mechanism in Party organizations where studying and implementing the latest important speeches and instructions of the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi, and through various forms such as individual self-study, special seminars, and guidance reports, read the original works, study the original texts, and comprehend the principles, systematically mastering the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods that run through it, so as to effectively consolidate the foundation of faith, replenish the calcium of the spirit, and steady the helm of thought. We must strengthen the awareness and ability to view issues from a political perspective, consciously think about problems, make decisions, and handle affairs from the standpoint of the Party and the people and from the overall work of the Party and the state, and always maintain a high degree of political acumen. We must plan and advance ideological and political work within the framework of high-quality development and Chinese-path modernization, making it naturally integrate like salt dissolving in water into the entire process and all aspects of economic and social development. Through in-depth and meticulous ideological guidance and policy interpretation, we must transform the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee into the unified understanding and conscious action of cadres and the masses.

思想政治工作具有鲜明的政治属性和政治功能，打牢基本功要把准政治方向、站稳政治立场、强化政治担当。思想政治工作的首要任务是推动用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂。要充分运用好党委（党组）理论学习中心组学习、“第一议题”等制度载体，通过个人自学、专题研讨、辅导报告等多种形式，读原著、学原文、悟原理，系统掌握习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观、方法论和贯穿其中的立场观点方法，切实筑牢信仰之基、补足精神之钙、把稳思想之舵。强化从政治上看问题的意识和能力，自觉从党和人民的立场、党和国家工作大局出发想问题、作决策、办事情，始终保持高度的政治敏锐性。将思想政治工作置于高质量发展和中国式现代化建设中谋划推进，使其如盐化水般自然融入经济社会发展的全过程各方面，通过深入细致的思想引导和政策解读，将党中央的决策部署转化为干部群众的统一认识和自觉行动。

The key to laying a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work lies in the character "实" (shí, meaning solid, practical, or real). Doing ideological and political work is by no means an empty "sitting and discussing the Way" [2]2 "Precise drip irrigation" (精准滴灌) is a metaphor drawn from agricultural irrigation, used in Chinese political discourse to describe targeted, individualized ideological and political work, as opposed to the "flood irrigation" (大水漫灌) of one-size-fits-all propaganda.; rather, it must be combined with the realities of work and life, earnestly listening to the appeals and suggestions of the target audience, deeply pondering the reasoning behind them, and seeing whether ideological and political work has truly resolved ideological perplexities and responded to the concerns of the masses. In particular, it must focus on the urgent, difficult, and anxious problems of the masses such as employment, education, medical care, housing, elderly care, and social security, thinking of more solutions and introducing more hard and practical measures. We must focus on key links, clarify the issues of "what to grasp, who grasps it, and how to grasp it," fundamentally eliminating the hollowing of responsibilities and the "two skins" phenomenon [3]3 "Great affairs of the state" (国之大者) is a term used by Xi Jinping to refer to the most fundamental and overarching issues concerning the long-term development of the Party and the country, which all cadres must keep firmly in mind. arising from vague understanding. We must pay attention to expanding the coverage of work, especially focusing on emerging fields and key groups, effectively eliminating "blank spots" and "blind zones" in the work. We must make every effort to make up for shortcomings in capability, be good at getting close to the masses, using the language of the masses and communication skills, thoroughly explaining theories and clearly articulating principles. Doing ideological and political work well lies in integrating it into daily life and forming mechanisms; we must strive to build a systematic and standardized institutional system, avoiding campaign-style approaches. We must consolidate and expand grassroots positions, build and make good use of various platforms and carriers, making them a solid foundation for carrying out regular education and guidance. We must strengthen the professionalization and stability of the work team, improve guarantee and incentive measures, and ensure that ideological and political work has people to do it, can be sustained, and shows long-term effectiveness.

打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功，关键在于一个“实”字。做思想政治工作绝非空泛的“坐而论道”，而是要结合工作与生活实际，认真倾听工作对象的诉求和建议，深入思考其中的道理，看思想政治工作是否真正解决了思想困惑、回应了群众关切，尤其要聚焦就业、教育、医疗、住房、养老、社会保障等群众急难愁盼问题，多想解决办法、多出硬招实招。聚焦关键环节，搞清楚“抓什么、谁来抓、怎么抓”的问题，从根本上杜绝因认识模糊而产生的职责虚化与“两张皮”现象，注意拓展工作覆盖面，特别是要关注新兴领域和重点群体，切实消除工作中的“空白点”与“盲区”。着力补齐能力短板，善于贴近群众、运用群众语言和沟通技巧，把理论讲透、将道理说清。做好思想政治工作，重在融入日常、形成机制，要着力构建系统化、规范化的制度体系，避免运动式做法。巩固拓展基层阵地，建好用好各类平台载体，使其成为常态开展教育引导的坚实依托。加强工作队伍的专业化、稳定性建设，完善保障激励措施，确保思想政治工作有人抓、能持续、见长效。

Whether ideological and political work is effective depends on whether the methods are appropriate and the measures are pragmatic. Different regions have significant differences in economic development levels, cultural traditions, social structures, etc. If a "one-size-fits-all" work model is adopted, ideological and political work will inevitably find it difficult to achieve ideal results. Laying a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work must adhere to seeking truth from facts, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground. Based on the actual conditions of each locality, relying on local cultural traditions, unique resources, and development advantages, we must precisely plan the work content and implementation methods, making ideological and political work truly "down-to-earth, steaming with vitality, and full of vigor." In recent years, Hunan has kept in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions, leveraged its red resource advantages, closely integrated ideological and political education with the activation and utilization of red resources, and planned and launched the "My Trip to Shaoshan" red study tour activity [4], moving the ideological and political classroom into the hometown of the great man [5], constructing a new model of ideological and political education that integrates online and offline interaction, links inside and outside schools, combines study and research, and merges culture and technology. This deeply integrates the study of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era with revolutionary tradition education, guiding students to inherit the red gene and strengthen their ideals and convictions, achieving remarkable results where students are educated, parents are satisfied, and society praises them. Practice has proven that adapting measures to local conditions and innovating methods and approaches are important ways to enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political work.

思想政治工作管不管用，关键在于方法是否对路、举措是否务实。不同地区在经济发展水平、文化传统、社会结构等方面存在显著差异，如果采用“一刀切”的工作模式，思想政治工作必然难以取得理想的效果。打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功必须坚持实事求是、守正创新，根据各地实际情况，依托本地文化传统、独特资源和发展优势，精准谋划工作内容和实施方法，使思想政治工作真正“接地气、冒热气、有生气”。近年来，湖南牢记习近平总书记嘱托，发挥红色资源优势，将思政教育与红色资源的活化利用紧密结合，策划推出“我的韶山行”红色研学活动，把思政课堂搬进伟人故里，构建线上线下互动、校内校外联动、教学研学一体、文化与科技融合的思政教育新模式，将学习习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想与革命传统教育深度融合，引导学生传承红色基因、坚定理想信念，取得学生受教、家长满意、社会好评的显著成效。实践证明，因地制宜、创新方式方法是提升思想政治工作实效的重要途径。

To carry out ideological and political work in a targeted manner, we must deeply study the cognitive levels, value orientations, acceptance habits, and interest concerns of different groups, and accurately grasp their ideological trends and psychological characteristics. Facing the youth group, we should, based on their characteristics of active thinking and sharp minds, make good use of new media contexts and interactive experiences, integrating mainstream values into vivid stories through equal dialogue. Facing cadres and workers, we should closely link to their job responsibilities and growth needs, integrating ideological and political work into all aspects of daily management, capability enhancement, and team building, striving to create a good atmosphere of dedication to work, taking on responsibilities, and making achievements. Facing the grassroots masses, we should make more use of easy-to-understand language, transforming grand narratives into stories around them that the masses are happy to hear, stimulating emotional resonance, achieving the goal of convincing people with reason and moving people with emotion. Facing new employment groups [6], we should closely follow their occupational characteristics and actual needs, adhere to the equal emphasis on political guidance and service cohesion, integrate the Party's innovative theories into business scenarios, enhance the attractiveness and pertinence of learning, focus on urgent, difficult, and anxious problems, build a comprehensive Party-mass service matrix, and by providing services such as legal consultation, psychological counseling, and occupational injury protection, effectively solve their worries. At the same time, we must grasp the timing and intensity, cultivate keen social insight, and be good at carrying out ideological and political work timely and effectively at special moments when contradictions are concentrated and society is generally concerned. For example, in July 2024, Zixing City, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, suffered a rare severe natural disaster. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government placed the protection of the people's lives and property safety first, effectively carrying out personnel search and rescue, hazard investigation and disposal, mass transfer and resettlement, and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. We transformed the touching stories of mutual aid and support from all sides that emerged during the flood rescue and relief efforts into vivid ideological and political education resources. In the "first lesson of the semester" that autumn, we vigorously publicized the support from the Party Central Committee, the State Council, and all sectors of society for the local flood relief efforts, conveyed General Secretary Xi Jinping's care and concern, and demonstrated the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, thereby guiding students to further strengthen their ideological and action consciousness of listening to the Party and following the Party.

有针对性地做好思想政治工作，必须深入研究不同群体的认知水平、价值取向、接受习惯与利益关切，精准把握其思想动态和心理特点。面对青年群体，应根据其思想活跃、思维敏捷的特点，善用新媒体语境与互动式体验，在平等对话中将主流价值融入生动故事。面对干部职工，应紧扣其岗位职责与成长需求，将思想政治工作融入日常管理、能力提升与队伍建设的各环节，着力营造干事创业、担当作为的良好氛围。面对基层群众，应更多运用通俗易懂的话语，将宏大叙事转化为群众喜闻乐见的身边故事，激发情感共鸣，做到以理服人、以情感人。面对新就业群体，应紧扣其职业特性与实际需求，坚持政治引领与服务凝聚并重，将党的创新理论融入业务场景，增强学习的吸引力和针对性，聚焦急难愁盼问题，打造党群综合服务矩阵，通过提供法律咨询、心理疏导、职业伤害保障等服务，切实解决其后顾之忧。同时，要把握好时机和火候，培养敏锐的社会洞察力，善于在矛盾集中显现、社会普遍关注的特殊时刻，及时有效地开展思想政治工作。例如，2024年7月湖南郴州资兴市遭受罕见严重自然灾害，在党中央、国务院坚强领导下，湖南省委、省政府把保障人民群众生命财产安全放在第一位，切实做好人员搜救、险情排查处置、群众转移安置、灾后恢复重建等工作。我们将抗洪抢险过程中涌现出的一方有难、八方支援的动人故事，转化为鲜活生动的思政教育资源，在当年秋季“开学第一课”中，大力宣传党中央、国务院和社会各界对当地抗洪救灾的支持，转达习近平总书记的关心关怀，展现中国特色社会主义制度的优越性，从而引导广大学生进一步坚定听党话、跟党走的思想自觉与行动自觉。

Laying a solid foundation for the basic skills of ideological and political work requires Party organizations at all levels to earnestly shoulder the main responsibility, conscientiously study, publicize, and implement the "Regulations" [7], build a grand pattern of jointly advancing ideological and political work, gather strong work synergy, ensure that all provisions of the "Regulations" are implemented, promote the upholding of fundamental principles and breaking new ground in ideological and political work in the New Era, and continuously open up new prospects.

打牢做好思想政治工作的基本功，需要各级党组织切实扛起主体责任，认真抓好《条例》的学习宣传和贯彻落实，构建共同推进思想政治工作的大格局，凝聚强大工作合力，确保《条例》各项规定落到实处，推动新时代思想政治工作守正创新，不断开创新局面。
