The great founding spirit of the Party runs through the century-old course of the Communist Party of China to actively promote the great social revolution and the great self-revolution, and demonstrates the mainstream nature of the glorious history of the Communist Party of China for a century. From the Red Building of Peking University to the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China is the initial stage of the Communist Party of China to promote social revolution and self-revolution. While clarifying the goals of social revolution, it also leads social revolution with firm self-revolution, forming a great founding spirit of the Party with historical connotation and distinctive characteristics, which has become the spiritual source of the great revolutionary journey of the Communist Party of China. The Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China is an important historical node for the Party to promote social revolution and self-revolution. Starting from the objective laws of revolution, the Second National Congress actively promotes social revolution to promote self-revolution and injects rich connotations into the great founding spirit of the Party and improves its inner requirements. Therefore, the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China is not only the starting point for the Party to promote social revolution and insist on self-revolution, but also a key point in the development of the great founding spirit of the Party.

Abstract:As an important part of Chinas national governance, business environment governance is an important symbol of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, as well as an outstanding performance of Chinese path to modernization in the economic field, highlighting the modernization level of national governance. Therefore, firmly grasping the development direction of business environment, we should adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, take Chinese path to modernization as the goal, and take the achievements and experience of Marxism sinicization as the basis, and transform the institutional advantages of the business environment into national governance effectiveness. Guided by Chinese path to modernization as the direction of business environment governance, and supported by the theories of economic development of major countries, new-new trade theory and Marxist political economy, this paper deeply analyzes the internal mechanism of business environment governance in the perspective of building a new development pattern. That is, the economic theory of major countries starts from modernization with a huge population scale. From the realistic perspective of population size diversity and market diversity, it reveals the importance of building a strong domestic market. The Chinese path to modernization goals of common prosperity, harmony between material civilization and spiritual civilization and harmonious coexistence between man and nature are consistent with the logic of new-new trade theory based on enterprise heterogeneity, exploring enterprise potential, paying attention to enterprise participation and social responsibility, and finally realizing the overall benefits of the industry. Marxist political economy pursues the goal of national economic benign circulation, from the angle of domestic and international dual cycles, interprets the political economy connotation of peaceful development road. Secondly, based on three theoretical bases, this paper analyzes the multi-dimensional dynamic logic of business environment governance to promote economic development from the perspective of new development pattern, namely, the logic of market-oriented allocation of elements based on the theory of major country economic development, the logic of upgrading industrial chain and supply chain based on the new-new trade theory, and the logic of modern circulation system construction based on Marxist political economy. Finally, this paper integrates the multidimensional dynamic logic of business environment governance into the objective orientation and strategic choice of Chinas building of a new development pattern, and puts forward a market-oriented reform path, innovation-driven path and delegating power, improving regulation and upgrading services path of business environment governance from the perspective of building a new development pattern. The three action paths complement each other and work together. Institutional innovation will inject a steady stream of vitality into the economic system of the new development pattern.

Abstract:To avoid the historical cycle of rise and fall of ruling orders apparent through the centuries of imperial dynasties, self-reform is a second answer. It is necessary to have both general abstract analysis and concrete practical verification in order to accurately understand and grasp the Partys self-reform.

The essential attributes of Marxist party are people oriented, revolutionary and critical. The internal requirements of Marxist party are advanced nature, purity and innovation. Self-reform adheres to the attributes and the requirements among the above. From the perspective of feasibility, the nature, purpose, goal and pursuit of the CPC are the internal basis of self-reform.

Abstract:The aim of this article is to conduct comprehensive comb and study of women’s reports in the JinChaJi Daily before and after the outbreak of the Pacific War. The sample consists of all the women’s reports published on the JinChaJi Daily from 1941 to 1942. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including classifying the number of these reports according to the time of publication and subject matter, combining the results of the data with relevant historical facts, the study also gives a longitudinal comparative analysis of the data results in relation to the relevant historical facts, and a qualitative analysis of the content on selected typical report examples, with a view to clarifying in a more systematic manner to the relationship, characteristics and interaction among the women’s reports in JinChaJi Daily, the Communist Party of China’s anti-Japanese struggle in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border area and the development of the Pacific War during the different stages of the war between 1941 and 1942. On this basis, the newspaper’s coverage of this period, its characteristics, influence, historical and practical significance are further interpreted in the light of a comparative analysis of the relevant theoretical evolution in Marx’s view of women, the Soviet and Russian views of women and the Chinese Communist Party’s view of women represented by Mao Zedong’s thought, as well as the different historical and practical cases from China and Soviet Russia. This paper argues that, around the outbreak of the Pacific War from 1941 to 1942, in order to release more armed forces turn into the Pacific Battlefield, Japan was eager to take complete control China and stepped up the encirclement and suppression to China’s anti-Japanese army, which led to a major change in China’s domestic war situation and made the anti-Japanese war under the leadership of the Communist Party of China face more draconian challenges. During this period, as the representative newspaper founded by the CPC in the anti-Japanese base of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Area behind the enemy lines, the JinChaJi Daily persistently published women’s reports in the anti-mopping up, which have various genres while themes focus on the anti-Japanese and anti-fascism, women’s liberation and development, always combine regional, national and international perspectives, were raising the torch of revolutionary ideals and hopes for the Chinese women groups represented by the women in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Area at that time. This not only played an important role in promoting the women’s liberation movement and mobilizing women to participate in the anti-Japanese production and combat of the border region, but also made outstanding contributions to the exploration of the New-Democratic social governance path and the cohesion of the anti-Japanese national united front in the border region, and shaped a new position of Chinese women’s reporting on anti-oppression and anti-fascism in the Pacific War of the Second World War. These women’s reports were closely related to the changes of the domestic and foreign situation, dialectically learning lessons from the Soviet Russian view of women, and always combining with the actual life and producing activities of the region and the reality of the anti-Japanese fighting, which were significant theoretical and practical achievements of the Chinese Communist Party’s Sinicization of the Marxist-Leninist view of women during this period. At the same time, these also show the enterprising, hard-working, brave and indomitable spirits of Chinese women represented by the women in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Area then. At the meanwhile, some of these ideas, such as how to protect women’s rights and interests, affirm women’s values, shape the multiplicity of women’s roles in society, and actively seek better solutions to common problems in family and society through social cooperation, are important references and lessons for current and future women’s work and social governance in China.

Upholding the leadership of the CPC gives a strong, stable and reliable force for adapting Marxism to Chinese conditions and keeping it in the right direction of development, thus providing a fundamental guarantee for opening up new realm. The new leap marks the development nodes and remarkable achievements of Marxisms sinicization and modernization, which is closely related to opening up new realm. The shift from one combination to two combinations makes Marxism more closely related to Chinese reality and more Chinese with Chinese characteristics, point out the development trend of opening up new realm. In terms of progress in achievement, During its strive for more than a century,CPC has taken the Sinicization of Marxism as its ideological guidance, institutional guarantee, cultural foundation and spiritual support.

Abstract:The 20th National Congress report incorporates the concept of systems thinking into Xi Jinpings ideological framework of socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era, and utilizes systems thinking to encompass the Seven Mindsets (strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systems thinking, innovative thinking, rule-of-law thinking, and bottom-line thinking). This further clarifies the important position of systems thinking in methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Systems thinking is an important component of Marxist dialectical materialism. Marx and Engels, starting from the perspectives of society and nature, established the concepts of organism and collective, regarding nature and society as an interconnected whole. In essence, this treats nature and society as a systemic entity. Marx conducted in-depth research on the complex system of human society, establishing a comprehensive category system that includes concepts such as productive forces, production relations, economic base, and superstructure. He used this category system to profoundly analyze the internal structure and operational mechanisms of the capitalist social system. Throughout the Chinese Communist Partys leadership in the revolutionary, construction, and reform processes in China, successive leadership collectives have consistently adhered to the Marxist systemic perspective, viewing things as organic wholes composed of various elements and their relationships. They have observed, contemplated, and handled various issues in the process of development from a holistic and global perspective. Since the 18th National Congress, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has consciously applied systems thinking to plan the overall work of the Party and the country. It has proposed the principles of upholding and strengthening the Partys overall leadership, promoting the Four Greats, coordinating the implementation of the Five-sphere Integrated Plan, and advancing the Four Comprehensive strategic layout. They comprehensively grasp the new development stage, implement the new development philosophy, and construct a new development pattern. They have implemented a series of new arrangements and strategies for governing the country, making adherence to systems thinking the fundamental ideological and methodological approach of the Party. Xi Jinpings approach to systems thinking further advances and develops the methodology of dialectical materialism, creatively proposing and applying the methodology of systems thinking.

Abstract:The Communist Party of China has a profound historical logic, theoretical logic and realistic logic of self-revolution. From the perspective of historical logic, when the Communist Party of China was founded, people were reflecting on the disadvantages of party politics in the early Republic of China. The pursuit of fame and power has become the hallmark of political parties. In such an atmosphere, Chen Duxiu and other early communists had the consciousness and efforts to transform the party, and devoted themselves to building the Communist Party of China into a new political party different from the old ones. In terms of theoretical guidance, the Communist Party of China, guided by Marxism, adheres to the value of people first and takes the interests of the greatest number of people as its most fundamental value pursuit. Therefore, the Communist Party of China has no special interests of its own. It does not seek its own interests or practice favoritism. This value position gives the Communist Party of China the courage and determination to take the interests of the people as its final measure, dare to turn inward and fight against all words and deeds that are not conducive to the realization of the interests of the people. From the perspective of practical needs, the ruling position of the Communist Party of China and the steep tests and dangers it faces urge the Communist Party of China to always keep the revolutionary enthusiasm, strengthen its own construction, forge a solid organization, and provide the most solid organizational foundation for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From the 100-year history of the Communist Party of China, the spirit of self-revolution is a strong support for the Communist Party of China to keep its youth forever. Self-revolution was gradually formed and developed during the period of the new democratic revolution. It was well inherited for a period of time after the founding of new China. It was further developed in the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization. After entering the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, self revolution was further emphasized, fully practiced and developed. It has become a regular practice of the CPC to resolve intra party contradictions through self-revolution. To break away from the influence of wrong ideas, lines and policies and establish the correct line and direction through self-revolution is a key move for the CPC to turn the tide. The 100-year history of the Communist Party of China is a history of self-revolution in which criticism and self-criticism play an important role. In the long-term practice of self-revolution, the basic principles of criticism and self-criticism have become clear:in nature, criticism and self-criticism are ideological struggles within the Party; in terms of content, criticism and self-criticism should point out mistakes and shortcomings in politics, organization and work; in terms of purpose, criticism and self-criticism is to solve ideological contradictions and differences within the Party and achieve unity; in terms of guarantee, criticism and self-criticism cannot be carried out without the fundamental guarantee of inner-party democracy.

Abstract:The new era has witnessed a new historical height of heroic value and heroic culture as a hot topic. However, the boundary connotation remains unclear in the research and description. The academic system of heroic research is insufficient in the vertical history, horizontal structure and cross integration, and the discourse system is inadequate in empirical research, basic research and quantitative research. The basic work for further compiling heroic can be provided by further clarifying heroic connotation, conducting quantitative research on heroic factors and deeply discriminating connotation factors of heroic concepts. A quantitative and empirical research on heroes is conducted from four aspects through questionnaires and structured interviews with respective findings as follows. Firstly, in terms of the cognition and factor analysis of heroic types, anti-epidemic heroes, national heroes, revolutionary heroes, ordinary heroes and combat heroes rank among the top five and the cognition of hero types is characterized by the orientation of reality, nationality, revolution and people. Secondly, in terms of the cognition and factor analysis of heroic quality, open-ended association reveals that courage, dedication, patriotism, openness and optimism are at the forefront. The constant quality of revolutionary heroism is inherited and the new quality of keeping pace with the times is manifested in the heroic quality in the new era. Thirdly, in terms of the cognition and factor analysis of heroic narrative, different types of cases reveal that heroic positivity is mounting while negativity is lessening and transforming. The proportion of onlookers is not low, who remain neutral towards certain issues. There is still a long way to go to strengthen heroism education and the effect of education. Fourthly, in terms of the cognition and factor analysis of heroic diffusion, great changes have taken place in the diffusion and influencing channels of heroic culture, with the rise of media influence, the enhancement of independent concept and the reduction of school influence.Four conclusions are drawn by empirical research:Firstly, the types of heroes keep pace with the times, with ordinary heroes becoming the mainstream; Secondly, the heroic quality remains the original intention, with bravery and dedication becoming the theme; Thirdly, the heroic narrative highlights right and wrong, with China stories moving China; Fourthly, heroes spread independent cognition, with social joint force strengthening the effect. Four suggestions are accordingly put forward on further study:Firstly, strengthen the study of hero history to highlight the righteous power of heroes; Secondly, strengthen the study of hero ontology to build a hero factor system; Thirdly, strengthen heroic narrative study to present moving heroic stories; Fourthly, strengthen heroic diffusion research and continue the heroic tradition.
