Cultural construction system based on socialist core values

The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Upholding and Perfecting the Socialism with Chinese characteristics System to Promote the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity (hereinafter referred to as the Decision), which was deliberated and adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, put forward for the first time that the system of the prosperity and development of advanced socialist culture should be upheld and improved, and the system of cultural construction guided by socialist core values should be regarded as an important content and realization method. Socialist core values lead the cultural construction system, which mainly includes promoting the normalization and institutionalization of ideal and belief education, improving the legal and policy system for carrying forward socialist core values, promoting the inheritance and development project of Chinese excellent traditional culture, improving the management mechanism of youth ideal and belief education, perfecting the volunteer service system and perfecting the long-term mechanism of honesty construction. This system has profound theoretical basis, practical basis and great significance.

First of all, from the position of values in culture, values have a supporting role. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "core values are the soul of cultural soft power and the focus of cultural soft power construction. This is the deepest element that determines the nature and direction of culture. " Whether the core values have vitality, cohesion and appeal fundamentally determines the cultural soft power of a country. Cultivating and promoting core values is an important way for the normal operation of the social system and the effective maintenance of social order, and it is also an important aspect of the national governance system and governance capacity. History and reality show that building core values with strong appeal is related to social harmony and stability and long-term stability of the country. Socialist core values are the essence of socialist ideology, advanced socialist culture, the concentrated expression of contemporary China spirit and the common value pursuit of all people. It has played an important role in leading social thoughts, rallying people's knowledge, spreading China's ideas, inspiring spiritual strength, and standardizing people's behavior, providing value guidance for better building China spirit, China values and Chinese strength. Facing the new situation of value contest under the situation of world ideological and cultural exchange and confrontation, and facing the new characteristics of diverse ideologies under the conditions of reform and opening up and socialist market economy, it is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance to establish socialist core values to lead cultural construction as a system for consolidating the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field and consolidating the ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the whole people.

Secondly, from the essence and characteristics, the socialist core values have a leading role. Socialist core values are a fundamental and overall view of the essence of socialist values formed in the great practice of socialist revolutionary construction and reform in China according to China's specific reality and the law of socialist development, and play a core role in China's socialist values, value system and core value system. It is the high unity of socialist truth and value, the guiding ideology of Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's great practice. As far as its birth is concerned, it was gradually formed and developed in the process of socialist revolution, construction and reform;

On status, it is the most basic and core part of the socialist value system and a rational collection of fundamental principles and values that the Chinese nation has long adhered to.

In terms of function, it supports our behavior orientation and code of conduct in the long-term practice of building socialism, and affects our thinking mode and behavior mode in developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics's great practice from a deeper level;

As far as its characteristics are concerned, it has theoretical characteristics and character such as truth, nationality, times, advancement, popularity, openness and practicality. As a conceptual superstructure, socialist core values are a synthesis of socialist ideology, culture, ideology and moral norms. In essence, they reflect the basic system, development path and lifestyle of socialism, are the spiritual self of socialism, and have a positive leading role in culture.

Third, from the practical needs, the socialist core values have a directional role. Core values are the cornerstone of a country and the soul of social development and progress. Only when a country and a nation have established the same value goals can they have spiritual ties, unified will and actions, and strong cohesion and centripetal force. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that "the core values bear the spiritual pursuit of a nation and a country, and embody a value standard of social right and wrong judgment." Socialist core values are the soul of rejuvenating the country and the essence of advanced socialist culture, which determines the basic direction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics not only contains the continuously built and improved economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization and its system, but also contains the essential provisions of spirit and value;

People should not only strive to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialism, but also point out the spiritual value destination for realizing this goal;

It not only includes system design, decision-making and deployment, but also requires all units, departments and individuals to consciously practice the concepts of freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law.

It not only includes the construction of social morality, professional ethics and family virtues, but also requires every citizen to consciously implement patriotism, professionalism, honesty and friendliness in all aspects of work, life and study. Under the background of economic globalization, political democratization, cultural diversification and information-based life, facing the common social problems such as diversified value orientation, contradictory value choice and practical value pursuit, it is an outstanding contribution and major innovation of this decision to sublimate socialist core values and lead cultural construction, making it an important content and part of adhering to and improving the advanced socialist cultural system. It is conducive to firmly grasping the direction of the advanced socialist culture, stimulating the creative vitality of the whole nation's culture, further responding to people's ideological confusion, strengthening cultural self-confidence, consolidating the ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups, enhancing the international community's understanding of China and showing a good image of China.

Finally, from the position and function of the system, the system has a normative role. System generally refers to the procedures or codes of conduct that everyone is required to abide by, and also refers to laws, customs and other norms or certain norms formed under certain historical conditions. System is the product of social and economic relations, which has the historical inevitability of not being transferred by human will. Marx regarded the system as "a' special thing' with universal significance, which regulates and manages all special things". System is the norm, the basis of the existence of the country and all social life, and the fundamental guarantee of the country's long-term stability. Institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a country, institutional competition is the most fundamental competition among countries, and a stable system leads to a stable country. It is particularly important to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity and prosper the advanced socialist culture. We must attach great importance to system construction and build a systematic, scientific, standardized and effective system. In the new era, to coordinate and promote the overall layout of "Five in One" and the four comprehensive strategic layouts, we must put system construction and ruling ability construction in a more prominent position, seize the opportunity to deepen the reform in the cultural field, and bring the effective methods and accumulated excellent experience created by the party leading the people in cultural construction into the system category, so as to provide spiritual motivation, moral nourishment, spiritual support and institutional support for Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
