Professor Wu Qiantao, one of the first batch of senior professors of liberal arts at Tsinghua University and editor-in-chief of "Research on Socialist Core Values", pointed out in the report "The Meaning of "Culture" in Cultural Thought" that to understand cultural thought, we must first grasp the meaning of the core concept "culture". Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese Communists have had a broad and narrow understanding of culture. The "small culture" at the micro level is an important part of spiritual civilization. In the two resolutions on spiritual civilization in 1986 and 1996, spiritual civilization includes two aspects: ideological construction and cultural construction. On the macro level, the concept of "big culture" and civilization converge. The 15 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the concept of "socialist culture" for the first time, which is consistent with socialist spiritual civilization. Guided by Marxism and aimed at cultivating "four newcomers" with ideals, morality, education, and discipline, the ideological connotation of culture has been highlighted. From the 16 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialist culture was expounded from five aspects, and ideals, beliefs, and values were placed in an important position. In 2023, in the Propaganda, Ideological and Cultural Work Conference, the "Seven Focuses" were proposed, which are both propositions and strategic arrangements. The leadership of the party is an issue of the direction of cultural developmentSocialist ideology is the fundamental goal of cultural constructionThe core values of socialism are the starting point and the end point of cultureOthers are strategic arrangements and deployments. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply grasp the meaning of "culture" from the perspective of "big culture".
Wu Qiantao spoke
Professor Han Zhen, Director of the Academic Committee of Beijing Normal University and Dean of the Institute of Textbooks, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Cultural Examination and Construction of Ideological Security". He pointed out that ideological security was mentioned 8 times in 5 paragraphs in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and 10 times in 6 paragraphs in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which shows the importance of ideological security. Professor Han profoundly explained the importance of ideological security from the perspective of culture: first, the requirement of cultural self-confidence, people build the ideological and cultural world through symbols, and the transformation of ideology and culture is equivalent to the transformation of people, and culture must not be shaken;The second is the internal requirement of high-quality social development, the level of human needs is always developing from low to high, and the satisfaction of material needs is followed by the desire for spiritual and cultural needsThird, the issue of ideological security is an important issue related to whether or not the Chinese nation can rejuvenate and build a common ideological and cultural homeland.
Han Zhen spoke
*Professor Cui Youping, director of the Fourth Research Department of the Institute of Party History and Literature and editor-in-chief of Marxism and Reality, emphasized in the report "Grasping Cultural Thought and Promoting the High-quality Development of Periodicals" that it is necessary to understand and grasp the formation and development of cultural thought from three aspects: First, strengthen the research on the Marxist traceability of cultural thought, such as the traceability of classic writers such as Marx and Engels and Lenin on cultural leadership, cultural subjectivity, cultural mission, and dominanceThe second is that cultural thought is a constantly unfolding ideological system, and it is necessary to grasp the idea in the process of unfolding the idea;The third is that cultural thought is an open ideological system, which will continue to enrich and develop with practice and open to the world.

She pointed out that the "two combinations" are the original theories formed by the general secretary of the Communist Party of China to promote the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism under the new historical conditions. The "two combinations" not only emphasize making the excellent traditional Chinese culture modern, using Marxism to activate the excellent factors full of vitality in the excellent traditional Chinese culture and endowing it with new connotations of the times, but also emphasize making Marxism Chinese and injecting the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation into Marxist theory at a deeper level.

Wang Yi spoke
Professor Lin Jianhua, vice president of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in the report "Cultural Thought is a Powerful Thought and Scientific Action Guide for Building the Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation" that to understand China, we need to understand Chinese civilization, and Chinese civilization is the root and source of China. The Chinese nation and the Chinese people have created iconic technologies such as the Four Great Inventions, created words and immortal names, made preliminary explorations of institutional civilization, formed excellent traditional Chinese culture, and conducted exchanges, dialogues and mutual learning with other civilizations. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is the new historical mission of the Chinese Communists. Different from the traditional agrarian civilization, surpassing the existing capitalist civilization is the future and ultimate form of civilization. Cultural thought is a powerful ideology and a guide to scientific action for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Cultural construction is a systematic project, which requires us to work hard for a long time and make unremitting efforts.

The most important thing to grasp is to adhere to the correct ideological direction, and the most important innovation in cultural thought lies in the "second combination". The "second combination" is another emancipation of the mind, and its emancipation is mainly reflected in three aspects: First, deepening the understanding of China's national conditions, which is a major original contribution;Second, through the "second combination", the long-standing opposition between tradition and modernity in the ideological circles has been resolvedThird, through the "second combination", the cultural subjectivity of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation has been established.
