The 18th CPC National Congress proposes to advocate wealth and strength, democracy, civilization, and harmony; freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law; patriotism, dedication, honesty, and friendliness; and to actively cultivate and practice socialist core values. This is in line with the requirements for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and in line with the excellent traditional Chinese culture and the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and is an important assertion made by the Party to rally the entire Party and society around the value of **** knowledge. Wealth and strength, democracy, civilization and harmony are the value goals at the national level, freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law are the value orientations at the social level, and patriotism, dedication, honesty and friendliness are the value norms at the level of the individual citizen, and these 24 words are the basic content of the socialist core values.
Socialist core values refer to people's fundamental views and attitudes on the nature, composition, standards and evaluation of socialist values, and they are people's way of examining and evaluating the significance of all kinds of material and spiritual phenomena and the behavior of the subjects to individuals and society from the perspectives of the subject's needs and the ability of the object to satisfy the subject's needs as well as how to satisfy the subject's needs.
The basic content of the socialist core value system mainly includes the following aspects:
(1) Consolidating the guiding position of Marxism, and persistently arming the Party and educating the people with the latest achievements of the Chineseization of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology of our party and country. In the construction of China's socialist core value system, Marxism provides us with a correct worldview and methodology, and a powerful ideological weapon for correctly understanding the world and transforming it. Only by using the position, viewpoints and methods of Marxism can we correctly understand the laws of economic and social development, correctly recognize the mainstream and tributaries in social ideology, and see the essence and clear direction in the intricate social phenomena. To build a socialist core value system, we must first consolidate the guiding position of Marxism. Marxism is a science, which is always strictly based on objective facts and always develops with the development of the times, practice and science. Our adherence to Marxism is adherence to the developing Marxism.
(2) Use socialism with Chinese characteristics*** to gather strength with the same ideals. The ideal is the soul of a nation and a society. The Chinese ****producers guided by Marxism have always adhered to lofty ideals, insisted on the combination of idealism and realism, and made lofty ideals an indispensable part of the spiritual life of our Party and our nation. With the continuous development of reform and opening up and the socialist market economy, strengthening ideal education is becoming more and more important. For the ****producers, the highest ideal is to realize ****productivism. At the present stage, building socialism with Chinese characteristics is the ****same ideal for our whole society. This ****same ideal, which is both tangible and concrete and inspiring, signifies that we should, on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, focus on building a moderately prosperous society in all respects in the first 20 years of this century, continue to struggle for a few more decades, and basically modernize our country by mid-century, so as to build our country into a modern socialist country that is rich, strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious.
(3) Inspire with the national spirit centered on patriotism and the spirit of the times centered on reform and innovation. The spirit of the nation and the spirit of the times is the spiritual support for the survival and development of a nation. A nation without an uplifting spirit and noble character cannot stand on its own among the nations of the world. In more than 5,000 years of development, the Chinese nation has formed the great national spirit of unity and solidarity, love of peace, diligence and courage, and self-improvement, with patriotism at its core. In the new period of reform and opening up, the Chinese nation has also formed the spirit of the times, centered on reform and innovation, of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, innovating, advancing in the face of difficulties, moving forward, striving hard, seeking practical results, being indifferent to fame and fortune, and being selfless and dedicated. The great cause needs and produces noble spirit, noble spirit supports and promotes the great cause. In the process of building a moderately prosperous society and accelerating the progress of socialist modernization, the national spirit and the spirit of the times have become more and more prominent in the cohesion and motivation of the Chinese nation, and have been y embedded in the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation, becoming an indispensable part of the socialist core value system, and the cohesion and motivation of the Chinese nation have also become more and more prominent.
(4) socialist concept of honor and shame to lead the trend, consolidate the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to unite and strive for the **** with the ideological foundation. The concept of honor and shame is an important content of the world view, outlook on life, values, and establish a correct concept of honor and shame is an important foundation for the formation of a good social atmosphere. Only by distinguishing between honor and disgrace, and discerning between good and evil, a person can form a correct value judgment, and a society can form a good moral trend. In a large developing country with a population of 1.3 billion and 56 nationalities like ours, advancing the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects require not only the consolidation of the guiding position of Marxism in the field of ideology, the establishment of correct ideals and beliefs, and the promotion of the great spirit of the nation and the spirit of the times, but also the establishment of a code of values and norms of conduct that is known to and universally practiced by all, and the formation of a social culture that sustains the society. It is also necessary to establish a code of values and norms of behavior that are known and practiced by everyone, and to form interpersonal relationships and moral customs that maintain social harmony. The socialist concept of honor and shame, with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as its main content, clearly defines the most basic value orientation and code of conduct in contemporary society, covers all aspects of human attitude and social customs, embodies the basic moral norms of socialism, and reflects the perfect combination of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, the excellent revolutionary morality and the spirit of the times. The socialist concept of honor and shame, as an important part of the socialist core values, has become and will continue to become a flag leading social customs.
