What is the essence of socialist core values?

The socialist core values have distinct scientific, contemporary, advanced, realistic, national and open features. Socialist core values are creatively put forward by our party to absorb the essence of human thought and adapt to the requirements of the development of the times. They have a broad and profound historical and realistic foundation, which embodies the organic unity of Marxist values and China's traditional values.

Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony are the value goals at the national level, freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law are the value orientations at the social level, and patriotism, professionalism, honesty and friendliness are the value norms at the individual level of citizens. These 24 words are the basic content of socialist core values.

Characteristics of socialist core values;

First, universality.

Core values are the most essential and decisive part in the value system of a country and a nation. They support and influence all value judgments, so they should be the general summary of the whole human development history and future trend.

The construction of socialist core values should reveal the most essential and eternal spiritual elements of socialism, avoid serving short-term goals, and take care of the realistic needs of the times and the people.

Second, nationality.

Core values must be based on excellent national cultural traditions. China's society is moving from closed to open, from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, so we must build new core values.

But at the same time, we should realize that any nation, especially a great nation with a long history, can creatively develop its core values only on the basis of historical and cultural accumulation and in combination with new social development and the requirements of the times.

We should build socialist core values and not cut off the blood and value tradition of the Chinese nation's history and culture. Of course, with regard to historical and cultural blood and value tradition, we must adhere to Marxist scientific methods and attitudes, pay attention to preventing the risks and mistakes of historical nihilism and populism in values, and strive to build socialist core values that inherit traditional virtues.

Third, sublime.

Sublime means that the core values reflect the long-term interests and future development direction of society and human beings, and have the function of inspiring people and inspiring them to keep moving forward, and this kind of values contains the inherent rationality that is very noble and worthy of people's dedication. Core values must have lofty spiritual factors.

History and practice have proved that the core values supporting a nation should have strong appeal and cohesion, and appeal can only be based on lofty foundation.

Building socialist core values is put forward on the basis of building advanced socialist culture and carrying forward national spirit. In essence, it is not only an organic part of the construction of advanced socialist culture, but also a great project and goal orientation of the construction of advanced socialist culture.
