Author:
Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Regulations on the Study and Education of Party History" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"). As the basic and backbone inner-party laws and regulations for standardizing the study and education of party history, the regulations comprehensively standardize the leadership system and work responsibilities, contents, main forms, guarantee and supervision of the study and education of party history, which reflects that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to the study and education of party history, and provides basic compliance for promoting the normalization and long-term effect of the study and education of party history.
Every revolutionary history of the Communist Party of China is a vivid teaching material of ideals and beliefs. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has attached great importance to the study, summary and application of the party's history, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new judgments. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Studying the history of the Party and the country is a compulsory course for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and for pushing forward the various undertakings of the Party and the country. This course is not only compulsory, but must be repaired." This important exposition has raised the study of party history and the history of New China to an unprecedented important position related to the overall work of the party and the country. At the critical moment of the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the party constitution revised at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly regards "learning the basic knowledge of the party and the history of the party" as the obligation that party members must perform, and will promote the "normalization and institutionalization of party history learning and education" as a basic task of the party's grass-roots organizations, It points out the correct direction and injects strong impetus for the normalization of party history learning and education.
To promote the normalization and long-term effect of party history study and education, we must integrate the study of the party's innovative theory and the basic content of party history, the party's historical conclusions, the party's historical experience, and the great party building spirit. The "Regulations" insist on the unity of learning party history and enlightenment, and put the study of the party's innovative theory in the first place in the study and education of party history. In terms of the relationship with the basic content of party history, the party's innovative theory is formed and developed in the party's historical practice. In different historical periods, the party insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture., Continuously promote the modernization of Marxism in China, test truth and promote theoretical innovation in practice. In terms of the relationship with the party's historical conclusions and historical experience, the party's innovation theory provides scientific guidance for the party to correctly understand historical issues and reach historical conclusions. The scientific summary of the party's historical experience and laws is an organic part of the party's innovation theory. In terms of the relationship with the great party-building spirit, the party's innovative theory is the interpretation and development of the great party-building spirit. Having innovative theoretical guidance is our party's firm belief and belief in the century-old struggle, grasp the historical initiative, and build a great party-building spirit as the source. The root of the spiritual pedigree.
To promote the normalization and long-term effect of the study and education of party history, we must combine the study and education of party history with the central work. The "Regulations" pointed out that the study and education of party history must focus on the center and serve the overall situation. In the new era and new journey, we must take the promotion of Chinese-style modernization as the greatest politics, focusing on the central task of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development. The study and education of party history is a strong support for promoting the central work and an inevitable requirement for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. It is necessary to take the study and education of party history as an opportunity to comprehensively study and understand Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and transform Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era into a powerful force for strengthening ideals, tempering party spirit, guiding practice, and promoting work. It is necessary to take the study and education of party history as the starting point, grasp the historical position, seize the critical period of the start of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, fully implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and the second Plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, completely, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, speed up the construction of a new development pattern, and strive to promote high-quality development. It is necessary to take the study and education of party history as the driving force, strengthen historical self-confidence, enhance historical initiative, have the "big country" in mind, look at problems from the overall situation of the development of the party and the country, take the initiative to act, and thoroughly implement the party Central Committee's decision-making on central work. Deploy to form a strong atmosphere of being brave to innovate, working hard, and forging ahead.
To promote the normalization and long-term effect of party history learning and education, we must establish a correct view of party history. The "Regulations" clearly stipulate the establishment of a correct view of party history. It is necessary to conscientiously study the basic works and authoritative readers of party history, and accurately grasp the main theme and mainstream essence of the party's historical development. For more than a hundred years, all the struggles, sacrifices, and creations that the Chinese Communist Party has united and led the Chinese people to boil down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to correctly understand the major events, important meetings, and important figures in the history of the party, correctly deal with the mistakes and twists and turns experienced by the party on the way forward, and distinguish between the mainstream and the tributaries. We should neither avoid mistakes and twists because of achievements, nor deny achievements because of mistakes and twists in exploration. We must resolutely oppose and resist historical nihilism, adhere to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, clarify the vague understanding and one-sided understanding of some major historical issues in the history of the party, better correct the source, and make the official history the consensus of the whole party and society.
To promote the normalization and long-term effect of the study and education of party history, we must turn the learning achievements into a powerful driving force for the officers to start their own businesses. The "Regulations" emphasize education and guidance of party members to persist in practicing party spirit, serving the people, and promoting development. The Communist Party of China is born for the people and prospers because of the people. The century-old history of the Communist Party of China is a history of fulfilling the party's original mission, and a history of the party and the people sharing a common destiny and fighting for the interests of the people. In the new era and new journey, we must always adhere to the people-centered development thinking, vigorously carry forward the red tradition, inherit the red gene, continue the spiritual blood of the Communists, always maintain the fearless struggle spirit of the revolutionaries, and practice the original mission with practical actions. The effectiveness of party history learning has been transformed into a driving force for entrepreneurship, and we are united and struggling for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
