Research On The Great Founding Spirit Of The Party And Its Contemporary Value

Without spirit,a person cannot stand firm;without spirit,a nation cannot be strong.Spiritual motivation is a formidable force for the development of a country and a nation.The great founding spirit of the Party is a noble revolutionary spirit formed by the pioneers of the Communist Party of China(CPC)during the great practice of establishing the Party.It embodies the CPC members’ ideals,beliefs,values,goals,willpower and basic principles,serving as the spiritual driving force that unites and leads the Chinese people to achieve continuous and great victories.This study,conducted under the perspectives of the Sinicization of Marxism and a macro-historical view,uses literature review,historical research,interdisciplinary research and comparative research to delve deeply and systematically into the great founding spirit of the Party and its contemporary value.It identifies the logic of the generation and development of the great founding spirit of the Party within the practical process of “two combinations,” and ascertains its core position in the spiritual spectrum of CPC members as they promote the process of modernization with Chinese characteristics.The study then clarifies its contemporary value from five aspects,including leadership force,Chinese characteristics,strategic goals,main body and external environment of Chinese modernization.This not only enriches and refines the theoretical framework of the great founding spirit of the Party,but also enriches Marxist party-building theory,which holds significant theoretical importance.At the same time,it deepens research on the logical starting point of the Sinicization of Marxism and the laws governing the CPC’s leadership in advancing modernization with Chinese characteristics,thus propelling great projects,great cause and great dreams,which has significant practical significance.The study follows a logical sequence of “theoretical research—historical review—theoretical analysis—practical reflection—path construction.”Firstly,the concept of the great founding spirit of the Party is defined,and its historical emergence and developmental laws are established through theoretical research and historical review.Spirit is the positive internal driving force that motivates people to understand and transform the world for certain purposes.From a political standpoint,the great founding spirit of the Party is the collective spirit of the proletariat party.Since the Party’s leadership is the most essential characteristic of socialism with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party is also the spirit of the entire Chinese nation.In summary,the great founding spirit of the Party is the internal driving force for the Party to seek national rejuvenation and people’s happiness,and it represents a new spirit with pioneering significance.The emergence of this new spirit must stem from a great practice characterized by innovation and creativity.Before this great practice emerged,the Chinese nation’s attempts to learn from artifacts,systems and thoughts.When Chinese civilization was obscured,Marxism guided the confused Chinese intellectuals from cultural inferiority towards cultural consciousness,clearing away the dust that obscured the excellent traditional Chinese culture.Among them,some progressive individuals,when observing and transforming society,took Marxism as their theoretical basis,attempted to establish the early organizations of the CPC,and officially founded the CPC.This practice,on one hand,has activated and innovated Chinese civilization,and on the other hand,has created a brand-new path for saving the country,where great founding spirit of the Party has emerged,nurtured,and formed.Subsequently,the Party’s centennial practice of promoting the great founding spirit of the Party has formed a spirit of fighting to the death,unyielding,self-reliance,striving to become stronger,liberating thoughts,making progress,self-confidence,self-improvement,and innovation.These have deepened,enriched,and developed the connotation of the great spirit of founding the party,and have constructed the spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists.Secondly,by analyzing the dynamic development of the great founding spirit of the Party and the internal laws of modernization with Chinese characteristics,its internal structure of power is excavated,and its scientific connotation,basic characteristics,main functions and historical status are studied.In the process of the germination,gestation,formation and development of the great founding spirit of the Party,“seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation and seeking happiness for the Chinese people” is a main thread that runs through it,reflecting the goal orientation of CPC members’ practice.The willpower and basic principles required by CPC members to achieve this goal,along with ideals and beliefs,and value objectives,together constitute the internal mechanism of the power of the great founding spirit of the Party.These four layers of meaning demonstrate that the great founding spirit of the Party has basic characteristics of the unity of truth and science,practice and development,initiative and struggle,and political and people’s unity,and their composition determines that the great founding spirit of the Party possesses guiding,creative,cohesive,and restrictive functions.As a spirit with pioneering significance,the great founding spirit of the Party firstly has an inheriting significance for Chinese civilization,inheriting and promoting the Chinese spirit;secondly,it has an innovative significance for the development concept of the Chinese nation,being the spiritual manifestation of the logical starting point of the Sinicization of Marxism;and lastly,it has formed the core spirit of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through modernization with Chinese characteristics,and is the historical source and high concentration of the spiritual spectrum of CPC members.Thirdly,the specific contemporary value of the great founding spirit of the Party is determined through its historical status,scientific connotation,basic characteristics,and main functions.It is clear that the distinct Chinese characteristics,scientific truth support,and evolving characteristics of the great founding spirit of the Party determine that it must be integrated into the promotion of modernization with Chinese characteristics in the new era,and the functional characteristics of the great founding spirit of the Party also determine that it has a strong driving force for promoting modernization with Chinese characteristics.In terms of strengthening the leadership force of modernization with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party has the value of revitalizing and strengthening the Party,which helps to solve unique problems of the large Party,breaks the historical cycle,and develops and improves the overall layout of Party construction.In terms of enhancing the Chinese characteristics of modernization with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party has the value of promoting cultural confidence and self-improvement,which helps to strengthen the construction of socialist ideology,promote the extensive practice of socialist core values,and develop the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.In terms of achieving the strategic goals of modernization with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party has the value of promoting the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country,which helps to accelerate high-quality economic development,promote the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation,and promote China’s unswerving path of peaceful development.In terms of strengthening the main body of modernization with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party has the value of educating and transforming people,which helps to enrich the spiritual world of the people,guide the construction of civic morality,and cultivate new people of the times.In terms of maintaining the external environment of modernization with Chinese characteristics,the great founding spirit of the Party has the value of enhancing China’s international influence,which helps to shape the international image of the CPC,enhance the strength of the world’s proletarian parties,and provide a Chinese solution for the modernization of countries around the world.Finally,in the dialectical unity of leveraging the dynamic value of the great founding spirit of the Party and promoting it,the path of promoting and continuing the great founding spirit of the Party is determined.Promoting the great founding spirit of the Party should not only seize the opportunities of the times,but also pay attention to preventing risks and challenges.It is necessary to follow the basic principles of promoting and continuing the great founding spirit of the Party,which is to adhere to the guiding position of Marxist ideology,adhere to the direction and mission of the Chinese path,adhere to the dialectical unity of orthodoxy and innovation,and respect the main body status and pioneering spirit of the people.It is necessary to unify the dynamic value of the great founding spirit of the Party and the promotion of the great founding spirit of the Party,take the party’s leadership as the foundation,strengthen party construction;take cultural development as the starting point,focus on cultural construction;take institutional construction as the guarantee,strengthen top-level design;take national education as the means,and focus on educational practice.Finally,a beautiful blueprint for promoting the great founding spirit of the Party,and the party uniting and leading the Chinese people to stride towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream of the Chinese nation is drawn.
