What are the two combinations that need to be adhered to in building a strong socialist culture?

The "two combinations" are the way to go and the greatest magic weapon. To open up and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics on the basis of the profound foundation of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's concrete realities and with China's excellent traditional culture is the necessary way. This is the regular understanding we have reached in exploring the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the greatest magic weapon for our success.

The premise of "combination" is mutual compatibility. The outstanding traditional Chinese culture has a long history and is a crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization, which contains the principles of "the world is public," "the people are the foundation of the state," "governance is based on virtue," "reforming the old and introducing the new," "appointing people on the basis of merit," "unity of heaven and mankind," "continuous self-improvement," "virtue and carrying things in the world," "speaking of faith and cultivating harmony," and "kissing benevolence and good-neighborliness," among others.

"Combination" is a result of mutual achievement. "Combination" is not a platter, not a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction. "It is not a matter of losing each other, but rather of promoting each other, complementing each other, and becoming better and greater versions of ourselves. "Combination opens up room for innovation. Chinese civilization has outstanding innovativeness, which fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese people to keep the right but not the old, and to respect the ancient but not to revert to the past.

"Combination" builds the foundation of the road. The road to socialism with Chinese characteristics is under the guidance of Marxism, and is also derived from the development of Chinese civilization over the past 5,000 years. The "combination" consolidates the cultural subjectivity. One of the major reasons why the Chinese nation has survived through trials and tribulations over the centuries is that it has a firm cultural confidence and a strong cultural self-awareness.

Culture is the soul of a nation and a people. Culture is the soul of a nation and a people. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and the prosperity of culture, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
