"Long live the Communist Party of China!"

The slogan "Long live the Communist Party of China!" was put forward in the declaration of the Second Congress of the Communist Party of China and is still in use today. After the birth of the Communist Party of China, China's democratic revolution has finally had a strong leadership core, and since then the revolutionary face has taken on a new look. At the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the newly born Communist Party of China resolutely shouted the slogan "Long live the Communist Party of China!", reflecting the firm belief of the party's pioneers in Marxism, the firm belief that the Communist Party of China can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the revolution, and the firm belief that the Chinese revolution will win the final victory.

  
"Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun"

"Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" was an important assertion made by Mao Zedong at the August 7th meeting of the Party. When talking about the military struggle at the meeting, he criticized the Party's past bias of "not doing military movements but doing mass movements", and proposed that "in the future, we should pay great attention to military affairs. It should be noted that political power is obtained from the barrel of a gun". This is the valuable experience drawn by the Communist Party of China from the bloody lessons of the failure of the Great Revolution. Since then, the Party has begun to focus on building the people's armed forces and leading the military struggle. This assertion of Mao Zedong later evolved into "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun", which became the slogan of the Party to create and control its own people's armed forces to fight.

  
The branch is built on the company

"The branch is built on the company" is the organizational principle of party building and military building formally put forward by Mao Zedong when he led the uprising troops to Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province to reorganize the troops after the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising. According to this principle, in the people's army led by the Party, classes and platoons establish Party groups, companies establish Party branches, and battalions and regiments establish Party committees. This has established a strict party organization system in the army, providing a reliable organizational guarantee for the Party to comprehensively build and control the army. Under the guidance of this principle, the Sanwan Reorganization has established the leadership of the Party over the army from the organization, and is an important beginning to build the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army into a new type of people's army led by the proletariat.

  
"Three major disciplines and eight points for attention"

"Three major disciplines and eight points of attention" are the basic principles and fine traditions of the people's army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which embodies the essence and nature of the people's army. It was creatively summarized by Mao Zedong according to the experience of mass work and military struggle in the process of creating the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base. It played a very important role in strengthening the building of the people's army, correctly handling the internal relations of the army, especially the relations between the army and the people, uniting the people and disintegrating the enemy. "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention" later became the code of conduct that the whole army must abide by and has been in use ever since.

  
"Ideological building of the Party and political building of the army"

"Ideological Party building and political military building" is the fundamental principle of Party building and military building established at Gutian Conference, and is the product of the creative combination of the basic principles of Marxism and the reality of the Chinese revolution by the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong. Its basic connotation is: adhere to the principle of ideological party building, establish the fundamental foundation of ideological and political construction, not only require the organization to join the party, but also require the ideological party, armed with proletarian ideology to our party members; Adhere to the principle of the Party commanding the gun, and establish the fundamental principle and system of the Party's absolute leadership over the military. It not only promoted the construction of the Red Army and the development of the revolutionary war at that time, but also had a profound impact on the later development of the Party and the people's army.

  
"A single spark can start a prairie fire"

"A single spark can start a prairie fire" is a sentence used in Mao Zedong's letter to Lin Biao in April 1930 to describe the revolutionary situation and future of China at that time. During the long guerrilla struggle, some people in the Fourth Red Army had doubts about how long the Red Flag could be fought. Lin Biao wrote to Mao Zedong to express his confusion. Mao Zedong said in his reply: "Here we can use an old Chinese saying: 'A single spark can start a prairie fire', which means that although there is only a little power now, its development will be rapid. It has not only the possibility of development in China's environment, but also the inevitability of development." Since then, "a single spark can start a prairie fire." It has become a representative statement that the Chinese revolutionary force has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and finally achieved complete victory.

  
"No investigation, no right to speak"

"No investigation, no right to speak" is a slogan that spreads widely and has far-reaching influence. This slogan is a famous assertion put forward by Mao Zedong in his famous article "Against Bookishism" (original title "Investigation Work"). In his article, Mao Zedong sharply criticized the dogmatism and bookishness existing in the Party and the Red Army at that time, emphasizing that if we leave the actual investigation, we must have idealistic class estimation and idealistic work guidance. The result is either opportunism or blind activism. Therefore, "there is no investigation, no right to speak", "pay attention to investigation!", "oppose nonsense!", "the victory of the Chinese revolutionary struggle depends on Chinese comrades' understanding of China's situation". This assertion later became the slogan of the Communist Party of China for all actions of starting from reality, going deep into the masses and integrating theory with practice.

  
Counter-Japanese National United Front

The "Anti Japanese National United Front" is the proposal of the Communist Party of China to unite against Japan in the face of the serious situation of national crisis after Japan launched the war of aggression against China. On the basis of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it is a national united front with the participation of people of all ethnic groups, democratic parties, patriotic armies, patriots of all walks of life and overseas Chinese to unite against the Japanese aggressors. The Anti Japanese National United Front is one of the three magic weapons that the Communist Party of China can lead the people of all ethnic groups to victory in the war. Under the call of the flag of the United Front, the Chinese people at home and abroad worked together to build a steel city for the Chinese nation to fight against the Japanese invaders. The Communist Party of China adheres to the principle of independence in the anti Japanese national united front, develops the progressive forces, strives for the middle forces, and isolates the stubborn forces, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate victory in the anti Japanese war.

  
"Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, cure the disease and save the patient"

"Learning from the past to avoid the future and curing the disease to save the people" was the basic policy of the rectification movement creatively put forward by Mao Zedong after summing up the historical experience of the struggle within the Party during the Yan'an rectification movement. "Learning from the past to avoid the future" means that we must not expose past mistakes in a sentimental manner, and use a scientific attitude to analyze and criticize them, so as to make our future work more prudent and better; "Healing the sick and saving the people" means that the purpose of exposing mistakes and criticizing shortcomings is to "save the people" and help them correct their mistakes and go on the right path, just like a doctor treating a disease, rather than creating opposition and retaliation. Since then, this policy has been tested by long-term practice and has become the basic policy and fine tradition of the Communist Party of China to consolidate and develop the Party's unity and unity by solving its own problems.

  
"Seek truth from facts"

"Seeking truth from facts" is the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism, the fundamental requirement for Chinese Communists to understand and transform the world, and the basic thinking method, working method and leadership method of our Party. It was put forward by the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong, who scientifically understood the essence of Marxism, and used Chinese idioms to summarize the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism in the process of fighting against subjectivism and empiricism. On October 14, 1938, Mao Zedong put forward for the first time at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: "Communists should be models of seeking truth from facts Connotation: "" Facts "are all things that exist objectively," yes "is the internal connection of objective things, that is, regularity, and" seeking "is what we study." Since then, in the process of the Party's continuous growth, the thought of "seeking truth from facts" has continued to inherit and develop, becoming the party's long-term ideological line.

  
"Encircle cities in rural areas and seize power with armed forces"

"Encircling the cities in the countryside and seizing power with armed forces" is a revolutionary road that the Chinese Communists creatively summarized from their experience in leading the Red Army and the base areas after the failure of the Great Revolution. Based on the national conditions of China's semi colonial and semi feudal society, this road emphasizes that in the case of great disparity between the enemy and ourselves, we must first establish base areas in the countryside, accumulate revolutionary forces, seize cities when conditions are ripe, and finally win the victory of the national revolution. Mao Zedong was the first practitioner of this road, and theoretically elaborated on it, forming the thought of the armed separatist regime of workers and peasants that the countryside encircles the city and the armed seizure of power. The proposal of this thought is the creative application and development of Marxism in China and marks the initial formation of Mao Zedong Thought.

  
"Two musts"

The "two musts" was a fundamental requirement of Mao Zedong to all Party members at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In the face of the situation that the War of Liberation is about to usher in comprehensive victory and the Party is about to become the country's political power. The Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held in March 1949, stipulated the policies of the Communist Party of China after the national victory, and clearly shifted the focus of the Party's work from the countryside to the cities. At the meeting, Mao Zedong warned the whole party that to win national victory is only the first step of the Long March, and the road ahead will be longer, and the work will be greater and harder. For this reason, he proposed that "we must make comrades continue to maintain the style of modesty, caution, not conceited, not impetuous, and we must make comrades continue to maintain the style of hard struggle". At the same time, he also asked all Party comrades to guard against arrogance and complacency, and against bourgeois "sugar coated bullet" attacks. The proposal of "two musts" not only alerted the whole party at that time, but also has guiding significance until now.

  
"Serve the people wholeheartedly"

"Serving the people wholeheartedly" is the fundamental tenet of the Communist Party of China. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has shouldered the historical mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. In the revolutionary process since then, the Party has always insisted on carrying out the struggle for the people and relying on the people to carry out the revolution. With the help and support of the people, the Party has been able to turn from weak to strong again and again. In the period of the Anti Japanese War, Mao Zedong, on the basis of summing up the experience and lessons of the Chinese revolution, fully discussed the importance of the people to the revolutionary war, put forward the thought of "serving the people wholeheartedly", and formally wrote it into the Party Constitution at the Seventh National Congress of the Party, which became the purpose that the Party and the people's army must adhere to. To fulfill the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, we must put the interests of the people first at all times, and take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and end result of all work.

  
"Carry out the revolution to the end!"

"To carry the revolution to the end" is a call to fight issued by Mao Zedong to the whole party and the whole army in order to completely overthrow the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang after the end of the Liaoshen, Pingjin, and Huaihai campaigns. After the three major campaigns, the Kuomintang's defense line north of the Yangtze River collapsed, and Chiang Kai shek had to make a conditional declaration of "seeking peace". In response to this situation, Mao Zedong issued a great call to "carry the revolution to the end" in his New Year's message for Xinhua News Agency on December 30, 1948. After debunking the Kuomintang's lie of "peace talks", Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued an order to march across the country. The PLA launched the battle of crossing the river, then liberated most of the country. Chiang Kai shek fled to Taiwan, and the Kuomintang's 22 year reactionary rule collapsed.

"All reactionaries are paper tigers"

"All reactionaries are paper tigers" was a famous assertion made by Mao Zedong in August 1946 in a conversation with the American journalist Anna Louis Strong. After the outbreak of the War of Liberation, in the face of the huge gap between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the number of troops, military equipment, foreign aid, etc., and the unfavorable situation in the international arena, some people in the Party had a pessimistic tendency and did not dare to use revolutionary means to counter the attacks of the Kuomintang reactionaries. In order to criticize the above thoughts and strengthen the confidence that the national military and civil revolution will win, Mao Zedong successively published a series of statements, stating that we must strategically despise the enemy, dare to fight against them and dare to win. The assertion that "all reactionaries are paper tigers" was immediately spread at home and abroad, greatly enhancing the courage and confidence of the whole Party, army and people to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries supported by imperialism.

  
"Resist US aggression and aid Korea, defend the country"

"Resist US aggression and aid Korea, defend the country" is a famous slogan during the period of fighting US aggression and aid Korea. Under the guidance of this slogan, the volunteer soldiers bravely fought with the modern equipment of the US military under the difficult conditions of the Korean battlefield; The people of the whole country carried out a vigorous campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. They actively joined the army, worked, and worked. They carried out campaigns to increase production, practice strict economy, and achieve patriotic and productive results. They supported the front lines and built a strong backing for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. With the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China's economic construction and social reform have achieved a relatively stable social environment, and the imperialists dare not bully China any more easily.

  
The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence

The "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" are the five basic diplomatic principles put forward by the Chinese government in the 1950s in order to develop relations with emerging ethnic countries, especially neighboring ethnic independent countries. After several deliberations, the expression was finally determined as: mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. In December 1953, when negotiating with the Indian government on the relationship between the two countries in Tibet, Zhou Enlai first proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence; In June 1954, during his visit to India and Myanmar, Zhou Enlai issued a joint statement with the Prime Ministers of the two countries, jointly advocating the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence as the guidelines for handling international relations. Later, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence became the guidelines for China to handle general international relations and were widely accepted by the international community, making a significant contribution to promoting the establishment of a new type of fair and reasonable international relations.

  
"Seek common ground while reserving differences"

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences" was a basic policy put forward by Zhou Enlai at the Asian African Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 1955 to promote the smooth progress of the conference, strengthen the unity of participating countries, and express China's position against the actions of some countries against China and creating contradictions. Seeking common ground while reserving differences means seeking common interests of everyone and reserving their own different opinions. At the meeting, Zhou Enlai used this sentence to show that Asian and African countries share a common historical experience, and the common basis is to "relieve the pain and disaster of colonialism"; The existence of different ideologies and social systems does not hinder the unity of Asian and African countries. We should put aside differences and disputes and strengthen cooperation for the common interests. The policy of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" was supported and supported by the representatives of most countries attending the conference, which eased the tense atmosphere of the conference and made the conference a complete success. Since then, "seeking common ground while reserving differences" has become the policy that the Chinese government has always advocated in the diplomatic field.

  
"Marching towards modern science"

"Marching towards modern science" is the call of the Party to develop science and technology in order to meet the needs of national construction after the "three major transformations" have been basically completed and China's socialist system has been established. In order to solve the problem of intellectuals and promote the development of science and technology in China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting on intellectuals in January 1956. At the meeting, Zhou Enlai, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, made a Report on the Issue of Intellectuals, made a realistic judgment and estimate of the class attribute and social role of intellectuals, and put forward the slogan of "marching towards modern science" on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. At the meeting, Mao Zedong also called on the whole party to study scientific knowledge and strive to catch up with the world's advanced scientific level. After the meeting, the majority of intellectuals have devoted themselves to the construction of science and technology, and an upsurge of "marching towards modern science" has quickly emerged.

  
"A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend"

"A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend", also known as the "double hundred" policy, is the guiding principle proposed by Mao Zedong for the prosperity and development of socialist scientific and cultural undertakings. On April 28, 1956, in his concluding speech at the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Mao Zedong pointed out that "a hundred flowers bloom on the art issue and a hundred schools of thought contend on the academic issue, which I think should be our policy. Then, at the seventh session of the Supreme State Council held on May 2, Mao Zedong formally put forward the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend". Later, this policy became an important guideline for guiding China's scientific and cultural work. The "Double Hundred" policy was put forward to meet the requirements of China's industrialization construction at that time for emancipating the mind and prospering the culture. Under the guidance of this policy, people have been further liberated from the shackles of Soviet dogmatism, and China's science and technology, literature and art have witnessed a prosperous scene.

  
"Four Modernizations"

"Four modernizations" are the grand goal of China's socialist construction and the correct decision and great initiative of our Party. After several changes in its basic content, it was established as "industrial modernization, agricultural modernization, national defense modernization, science and technology modernization". It is the strategic goal of China's development put forward by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other central leaders after summing up their experience and looking forward to the future in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and in the process of China's socialist industrialization. The first session of the National People's Congress held in 1954 proposed to "build a strong modern industry, modern agriculture, modern transportation and modern national defense", which was the first time that the concept of the four modernizations was put forward; The first session of the three National People's Congress held from the end of 1964 to the beginning of 1965 formally put forward the grand goal of "four modernizations" and announced that China should be built into a socialist power with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern national defense and modern science and technology. Since then, the four modernizations have become the grand goal of inspiring the people of all ethnic groups to work together.

  
"Learn from Comrade Lei Feng"

"Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" was Mao Zedong's inscription and call to the whole country on March 5, 1963, after Lei Feng died in the line of duty. Subsequently, the activity of "Learning from Comrade Lei Feng" was carried out throughout the country, and March 5 was also designated as China's "Learning from Lei Feng Activity Day". Since then, the spirit of Lei Feng has been passed on in China. Lei Feng is an ordinary party member, but he has devoted his life to the infinite cause of "serving the people" in an ordinary position. Lei Feng's spirit of dedication represents the spirit of the times when the Chinese people were constantly striving for self-improvement and selfless dedication during the severe economic difficulties in the 1950s and 1960s. A large number of advanced figures, including Lei Feng, Jiao Yulu and Wang Jinxi, were born in this period. With their own ideals, beliefs and actions, they have set up monuments during the socialist construction period and left a profound impact on future generations.

  
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" is an important point of view put forward by the Party during the discussion on the criterion of truth. After the "Cultural Revolution", the Party's task of bringing order out of chaos in all fields of thought, politics and organization was seriously hindered by the "two whatevers" policy. Many comrades inside and outside the Party demand that the Party's fine style of seeking truth from facts be restored and carried forward. On May 10, 1978, the article "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth" approved by Comrade Hu Yaobang was published in the internal journal of the Central Party School, Theoretical Dynamics, and the next day it was published in the Guangming Daily as a special commentator, which was forwarded to the whole country by Xinhua News Agency. On the 12th, the People's Daily and the PLA Daily reprinted at the same time. This article caused a strong response among the cadres and the masses, and triggered a discussion on the standard of truth. The proposal of "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" and the discussion on the criterion of truth have become the ideological precursor to realize the historic turning point of the Party and the country.

  
Four basic principles

The "Four Cardinal Principles" are the foundation of our country and the political cornerstone for the survival and development of the Party and the country. In March 1979, in response to the "Left" and "Right" doubts in the society at that time and the erroneous trend of thought of the line, principles and policies of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Opposition Party, Deng Xiaoping delivered a speech "Adhering to the Four Basic Principles" at the party's theoretical work retreat, emphasizing that in the process of socialist modernization, we must always adhere to the Four Basic Principles, That is, we must adhere to the socialist road, adhere to the people's democratic dictatorship, adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and adhere to Marxism Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. This is the "fundamental prerequisite for the realization of the four modernizations". If you shake any of these four basic principles, you will shake the whole socialist cause and the whole modernization drive. The proposal of the Four Cardinal Principles shows that the reform and opening up carried out by our Party has a clear socialist direction from the very beginning.

  
Household contract responsibility system

The "household contract responsibility system" is the main mode of production and management in China's rural areas in the new period of reform and opening up, and is a great creation of Chinese farmers. It refers to the form of agricultural production responsibility system in which farmers contract land and other means of production and production tasks to collective economic organizations with their families as a unit. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, inspired by the spirit of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, Chinese farmers have created such production responsibility systems as household contract responsibility system and household contract responsibility system. From 1982 to 1984, the CPC Central Committee, in the form of "No. 1 Document" for three consecutive years, fully affirmed and actively guided the production responsibility system of household contract and household contract, and finally formed the household contract management system of farmers. This system enables farmers to gain autonomy in production and distribution. It not only overcomes the disadvantages of egalitarianism and eating from the same big pot in the past distribution, but also corrects the shortcomings of over centralized management and too single mode of operation, greatly arouses the enthusiasm of farmers and liberates and develops rural productivity.

  
"One center, two basic points"

"One center, two basic points" is the basic line of the primary stage of socialism in China. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China fully stated its content as follows: to lead and unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country, focus on economic development, adhere to the four basic principles, adhere to reform and opening up, self-reliance, hard work, and strive to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist power. "One center" means "focusing on economic construction", and "two basic points" means "adhering to the four basic principles" and "adhering to reform and opening up". After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, our Party has gradually formed a scientific judgment that China is in the primary stage of socialism and will be in the primary stage for a long time to come. In October 1987, the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China systematically expounded the theory of the primary stage of socialism and determined the basic line of the primary stage of socialism. The basic line highly summarizes the Party's objectives, basic ways and fundamental guarantees, leadership and dependence, as well as the basic principles for achieving this goal in the primary stage of socialism. With the development of time, this line has become increasingly rich, which is the lifeline of the Party and the country, and the happiness of the people.

  
"Three Steps"

The "three-step" development strategy is the strategic goal and strategic step of China's economic and social development in the primary stage of socialism. In October 1987, according to the suggestions and opinions put forward by Deng Xiaoping, the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China determined the "three-step" development strategy. The main contents are as follows: the first step is to double the GNP of 1980 and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people; The second step is to double the GNP by the end of the 20th century, and the people's lives will reach a well-off level; Step three: By the middle of the 21st century, the per capita GNP will reach the level of moderately developed countries, people will live a relatively prosperous life, and modernization will be basically achieved. On this basis, the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the "new three-step strategy" according to the changes in China's economic and social development; Since then, the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth National Congresses of the Party have continuously developed and improved this strategy. The implementation of the "three-step" development strategy has strongly promoted the sustained, rapid and healthy development of China's economy and society.

  
"Science and technology is the first productive force"

"Science and technology is the first productive force" is a creative conclusion put forward by Deng Xiaoping on the basis of the relevant scientific and technological statements of Marxism Leninism, in view of the world's scientific and technological development situation and China's scientific and technological development tasks. In 1978, in the face of China's development situation, Deng Xiaoping reiterated the Marxist view that "science and technology are productive forces". Under his promotion, China's science and technology has achieved rapid development. In 1988, he creatively put forward the conclusion that "science and technology are the first productive force", which pushed the understanding of science and technology to an unprecedented height, reflecting the high attention and foresight of the Communist Party of China to science and technology. After this sentence was put forward, it soon spread throughout the country, and it became a national consensus to attach importance to science and technology and education. Under the influence of this assertion, on May 6, 1995, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council formally proposed to implement the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education. Since then, China's science and technology has opened a new stage of leapfrog development.

  
"One country, two systems"

"One country, two systems" is a great idea creatively put forward by Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s to realize the peaceful reunification of the motherland. "One country, two systems", that is, "one country, two systems", means that under the premise of one China, the main body of the country adheres to the socialist system, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan keep the original capitalist system unchanged for a long time. Since the reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping has made many speeches on the basis of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai's thoughts on striving for a peaceful solution to the Taiwan question, and creatively put forward this great idea. This idea was put forward to solve the Taiwan issue and was first realized in Hong Kong and Macao. On July 1, 1997 and December 20, 1999, Hong Kong and Macao returned to the motherland successively, and "one country, two systems" changed from scientific conception to vivid practice. Facts have proved that "one country, two systems" is the best solution to the problems of Hong Kong and Macao left over by history and the best system to maintain long-term prosperity and stability after the return of Hong Kong and Macao.

  
"Three advantages"

The "three benefits" are the criteria for judging reform and opening up put forward by Deng Xiaoping in the 1992 South Talk. The main content is: to judge the gains and losses, right and wrong, success or failure of all the work in the reform and opening up, mainly depends on whether it is conducive to the development of the productive forces of the socialist society, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving the people's living standards. At the beginning of 1992, when Deng Xiaoping inspected the South, he put forward "three benefits" in view of the fact that many people within the Party and at home have been unable to step forward on the reform and opening up issue for a period of time, and dare not break through, as well as the debate on the nature of reform and opening up in the theoretical circle. Taking the "three benefits" as the representative, Deng Xiaoping scientifically summarized the practical exploration and basic experience since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, theoretically and profoundly answered many important questions that have puzzled and bound people's minds for a long time, and promoted China's reform and opening-up and socialist modernization to a new stage.

  
Overall layout of "Five in One"

The overall layout of the "Five in One" is the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is mainly to comprehensively promote the five aspects of "economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction". In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it specifically means that our cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics should adhere to economic construction as the center, develop the socialist market economy, develop socialist democracy, develop advanced socialist culture, build a harmonious socialist society, and build a socialist ecological civilization. In November 2012, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed for the first time that the general layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is "five in one". In October 2017, the 19th CPC National Congress further clarified and reaffirmed. The overall layout of "Five in One" is an organic whole, with economic construction as the foundation, political construction as the guarantee, cultural construction as the soul, social construction as the condition, and ecological civilization as the foundation. It is unified in the new goal of building China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful modern socialist power.

  
"1992 Consensus"

The 1992 Consensus is a consensus reached by the Association for Cross Strait Relations and the Taiwan Straits Exchange Foundation in 1992 on their oral expression of "Both sides of the Taiwan Straits adhere to the one China principle" in the cross-strait affairs business talks. "1992" refers to the year 1992 when this consensus was reached. The 1992 Consensus indicates that both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China, and cross-strait relations are neither state to state relations nor "one China, one Taiwan". Although the two sides have not yet been reunified, China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been divided. The historical fact and legal basis that both sides of the Straits belong to the same country and that compatriots on both sides belong to the same nation has never changed, and it is impossible to change. The 1992 Consensus embodies the one China principle, clearly defines the fundamental nature of cross-strait relations, and is the basic premise and fundamental adherence to the settlement of the Taiwan issue.

  
"Three Stricts and Three Realities"

The "Three Stricts and Three Honesties" is the requirement put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping to the party members and leading cadres in his speech at the second session of the 12th National People's Congress of Anhui delegation on March 9, 2014, and is a new measure for the Party to continue to deepen its work style construction. Its basic content is: strict self-cultivation, strict use of power, strict self-discipline and practical planning, entrepreneurship, and conduct. "Three strictness" is an important criterion and code of conduct for leading cadres to conduct themselves and use their power.

Through this education, the leading cadres at and above the county and department levels were concentrated on "calcium supplementation" and "refueling" in terms of ideology, style and party spirit, which tightened the political discipline and rules.

  
"Two studies and one action"

"Two studies and one action", that is, "learn the Party constitution and rules, learn a series of speeches, and become a qualified party member", is an extensive and centralized education within the Party to further strengthen the Party's style construction, promote the expansion of education within the Party to the majority of Party members, and extend to regular education. The learning and education of "two studies and one action" is aimed at all Party members, putting the ideological construction of the Party in the first place, educating and guiding Party members to consciously standardize their words and deeds in accordance with Party member standards, further strengthening their ideals and beliefs, and improving their awareness of the Party spirit; Further enhance the political awareness, overall awareness, core awareness, and alignment awareness, and firm the correct political direction; Further establish a clean and upright atmosphere, strictly observe political discipline and political rules; Further strengthen the concept of purpose, be brave to take on the role, and play an exemplary role in production, work, learning and social life. After more than a year of study and education, the majority of Party members have received and experienced strict ideological, political, style and discipline education, which has been unanimously recognized by the whole society. On February 21, 2017, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a meeting to review and approve the Opinions on Promoting the Normalization and Institutionalization of "Two Studies and One Action" Learning and Education, and decided to take "Two Studies and One Action" learning and education as an activity that the whole party must adhere to for a long time.

  
Four Comprehensives

"Four Comprehensiveness" is the strategic layout of China's development gradually put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and is the general plan of the Party to govern the country in the new situation. In December 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping first put forward the "four comprehensions", including building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, deepening reform in an all-round way, comprehensively governing the country according to law, and comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, during his research in Jiangsu. In October 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that the strategic layout of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is "four comprehensiveness". At the end of October 2020, with the decisive progress in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) made a new statement on the strategic layout of "four comprehensions", adjusting "building a moderately prosperous society in all respects" to "building a modern socialist country in all respects". The "four comprehensive" strategic layout has established the strategic objectives and strategic measures of the Party and the country in the new era, which provides an important guarantee for the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the building of a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist power.

  
"Four self-confidence"

"Never forget the original intention and remember the mission"

"Never forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind" is the call and request made by General Secretary Xi Jinping to all Party members in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Never forget why you started, and your mission can be accomplished. The original intention and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. This original intention and mission is the fundamental driving force to encourage the Chinese Communists to move forward. Once the Communist Party of China was founded, it took the realization of communism as the highest ideal and ultimate goal of the party, shouldered the historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation without hesitation, united and led the people to carry out arduous struggle, and wrote a magnificent epic. As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, we are closer to, more confident and capable of achieving the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. All comrades in the Party must always share the same breath, destiny and heart to heart with the people. We must always regard the people's aspiration for a better life as our goal. We must keep our original intention, shoulder our mission and strive to achieve the tasks entrusted to us by history.
