Inheriting the red gene and continuing the red blood is one of the plans and deployments of General Secretary Xi Jinping's propaganda, ideological and cultural work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is an important content of Xi Jinping's cultural thought. The red gene is formed in the practice of revolution, construction and reform led by the Communist Party of China, including the spiritual crystallization of ideals and beliefs, value positions, moral sentiments, and fine styles. It embodies the party's nature, purpose, political nature, and mission. It is a unique spiritual symbol that is different from other political parties.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the inheritance of the red gene and made a series of important speeches around the inheritance of the red gene, repeatedly emphasizing the need to "pass on the red gene from generation to generation" and "ensure that the red country will never change color." it profoundly explains why the red gene is inherited, by whom, and how to inherit it.
 

Significance of 1. Inheritance of Red Gene
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited revolutionary homelands and red hotlands, in the commemoration of the birthday of the late party and state leaders, the commemoration of major party history and national history events, the commemoration of important party history and national history figures and martyrs, and the commendation of heroes and model figures. In important speeches and related letters, recall the scene of the ancestors exploring the revolutionary road and hard struggle, he expressed deep memory for the revolutionary martyrs and heroes and model figures, and expressed deep praise for the heroic spirit, revolutionary spirit and the glorious tradition of the party. He connects history, reality and future, and brilliantly expounds the significance of inheriting the red gene.
(I) red gene is the "spiritual code" of our party from victory to victory"
The red gene was born in the revolutionary war years. At the same time, with the development of the times, it has been endowed with new connotations and added new elements. It is reflected in the practice of generations of Chinese Communists to practice their original intentions and bravely assume their missions, and is condensed to enrich the spiritual home of the Communists. Nutrients, and show the great spirit of the party and the lofty ideals, noble moral sentiments, excellent political character, fine work style, and positive enterprising style, it is deeply embedded in the blood of the Chinese Communist Party. Whether in the period of war-torn new democratic revolution, or in the period of passionate socialist revolution and construction, whether in the new period of rapid development of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, or in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics that continues to create miracles in the world, the party's red gene is endless and lasting.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Red is the brightest background color of the Communist Party of China and the the People's Republic of China. Red resources are scattered on the vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers in my country. In the great course of our party's unity and leadership of the Chinese people in a century of struggle, the red blood has been passed down from generation to generation. Every historical event, every revolutionary hero, every revolutionary spirit, and every revolutionary cultural relic represents the glorious course and major achievements of our party, and shows our party's dreams and pursuits, feelings and responsibilities. Responsibility, sacrifice and dedication converge into the red blood of our party. The red blood is the concentrated expression of the political nature of the Communist Party of China and the source of spiritual strength of the Chinese Communists in the new era." The red gene was forged by the blood and lives of the ancestors. It is the "spiritual code" of the Communist Party of China and the People's Army from small to large, from weak to strong, and from victory to victory. It must be cherished and deeply aware of the hard-won red regime. New China is hard-won, and socialism with Chinese characteristics is hard-won. Deeply understand why the Communist Party of China can do it, why Marxism does it, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, draw forward strength from the party's struggle history, and gather the majestic force of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Inheriting the Red Gene (II) is the Internal Need of Building a Strong Marxist Party
The key to running China's affairs well lies in the Party. The red gene is the spiritual characteristic of the Chinese Communists and a strong support for our party to maintain its original intention and true colors. Living a peaceful life for a long time, it is easy to suffer from "rickets" with lack of ideals and beliefs ". In order to build the party stronger and stronger, it is necessary for all comrades in the party to always strengthen their ideals and beliefs. "Strengthening ideals and beliefs and adhering to the spiritual pursuit of Communists has always been the foundation for Communists to settle down."
More than a hundred years ago, "the pioneers of the Communist Party of China founded the Communist Party of China, and formed the great party building spirit of adhering to the truth, adhering to the ideal, practicing the original intention, undertaking the mission, not afraid of sacrifice, fighting bravely, being loyal to the party and living up to the people". In the extraordinary course of more than one hundred years of struggle, the Communist Party of China has carried forward the great party-building spirit, constructed the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists, and tempered a distinctive political character. These precious spiritual wealth spans time and space and lasts for a long time. They embody the party's firm belief, fundamental purpose and fine style of work. They embody the great character of hard work, sacrifice and dedication, pioneering and enterprising of the Chinese Communists, and provide rich nourishment for building the party and strengthening the party.
At the same time, the tests of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and external environment that our party is facing are long-term and complex. The dangers of mental slack, insufficient ability, separation from the masses, and negative corruption that our party faces are acute and severe. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The glorious tradition cannot be lost, and if it is lost, the soul will be lost; the red gene cannot be changed, and if it changes, it will change its quality." In the face of various major challenges, major risks, major obstacles, and major contradictions, it is necessary for all comrades in the party to inherit the red gene, "continue to carry forward the glorious tradition, continue the red blood, and always inherit and carry forward the great party building spirit", always keep in mind and Practice the original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, adhere to and practice the people-centered development thought, we are determined to unite and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The older generation of revolutionaries lived in Yan'an, lived in caves, ate coarse grains, and wore cloth clothes. They defeated the'Xi'an style' with the'Yan'an style '. Comrades of the whole party must inherit and carry forward the glorious traditions and fine styles left by the older generation of revolutionaries and Communists." "We must never lose the spirit of revolution and desperation, and we must never lose modesty and prudence, guard against arrogance and rashness, and work hard. The tradition of diligence and thrift must never lose the courage to defy strong enemies, fear risks, dare to fight, and dare to win". Only by passing on the revolutionary tradition and fine work style can our party never deteriorate, change color, and change its flavor, and better push forward the great cause initiated by the revolutionary ancestors.
(III) Construction of Chinese Modern Civilization Needs Rich Nourishment of Red Gene
"A man cannot stand without a spirit, and a country is not strong without a spirit. The spirit is the soul on which a nation depends for a long time, and only when the spirit reaches a certain height can the nation stand firm and move forward in the torrent of history." Today, China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation need the accumulation of material civilization, but also the sublimation of spiritual civilization. At the same time, the world's unprecedented changes in a century have accelerated their evolution, and the exchanges and exchanges of different ideas and cultures have become more frequent, which puts forward higher requirements for us to spread contemporary Chinese values and improve the country's cultural soft power under the new situation. In the new era and new journey, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed a new cultural mission to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point.
The red gene is the rich nourishment of socialist core values, an important source of Chinese spirit, Chinese value and Chinese strength, and a powerful spiritual force for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. It not only helps the ideological cultivation and spiritual maintenance of the whole Party and the whole society, but also promotes the construction of advanced socialist culture and the establishment of Chinese style modern cultural form. Inheriting the red gene will help to further strengthen the mainstream value, mainstream public opinion and mainstream culture in various cultural agitation, which is the meaning of carrying forward the main theme and spreading positive energy. To build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation, it is necessary to "deeply implement the red gene inheritance project, vigorously carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and constantly enhance the sense of identity and pride of the Chinese nation." invigorate the spirit of the people of all ethnic groups to forge ahead on a new journey and build a new era ".
(IV) opposition and resistance to historical nihilism need to pass on the red gene
The essence of historical nihilism is to fundamentally deny the guiding position of Marxism and the historical inevitability of China's move towards socialism, and deny the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The challenge we face is that all kinds of hostile forces at home and abroad are always trying to make our party change its flag and name, and try to make us lose our belief in Marxism and our belief in socialism and communism. However, some people and even some comrades in the party have not seen the hidden mystery and agree with the "universal values" of the West; some people regard Western theories and Western words as golden rules, unknowingly became the drummer of Western capitalist ideology ".
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must take a clear-cut stand against historical nihilism, strengthen ideological guidance and theoretical analysis, clarify the vague understanding and one-sided understanding of some major historical issues in the history of the party, and better correct the roots and consolidate the roots." This requires "work hard on basic and strategic work, and work hard on key points and harmful points". Inheriting the red gene is a basic project and an important strategic task to implement this requirement. It is necessary to strengthen education in patriotism, collectivism, and socialism, guide the people of the whole country to establish and adhere to a correct view of history, nation, country, and culture, strengthen the backbone and confidence of being Chinese, and strengthen the people of all ethnic groups to the great motherland and the Chinese nation., Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China and socialism with Chinese characteristics.
 

Important Subject of 2. Inheritance of Red Gene
Inheriting the red gene is the common responsibility of the whole Party and the whole society. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has systematically clarified the question of who inherits the red gene on different occasions and for different objects. He put forward ardent expectations for the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups to inherit the red gene, and repeatedly urged to "make good use of red resources, carry forward the red tradition, and inherit the red gene", and encourage all members of society to actively participate and work together. Good inheritance and dissemination of red genes. Among them, he is particularly concerned about the inheritance of the red gene by party members and cadres, the people's army and young people.
(I) party members and cadres
The red gene contains the wisdom and strength of the party, condenses the responsibility and responsibility of the revolutionary ancestors, and reflects the distinct political stand, firm belief and belief, fine work style and discipline, and lofty revolutionary spirit of the Chinese Communists. Inheriting the red gene, Chinese Communists, especially party members and cadres, should be in the forefront and play a vanguard and exemplary role. This is their own mission requirement. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "It is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to vigorously carry forward the red tradition, inherit the red gene, and continue the spiritual blood of the Communists".
Party members and cadres should strengthen their ideals and beliefs by inheriting the red gene. A Marxist political party is "a political party organized by common ideals and beliefs". Only by casting the soul of ideals and beliefs can we withstand all kinds of tests. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "We must draw strong faith from the red gene, strengthen the'four consciousness', strengthen the'four confidence', achieve the'two maintenances', and consciously be the lofty ideals of communism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. A firm believer and loyal practitioner of the common ideal, truly become an indomitable and lifelong Marxist fighter". It is necessary to educate and guide the comrades of the whole party to "take the belief in Marxism and the belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics as their lifelong pursuit, and always believe in the party and love the party for the party".
Party members and cadres should keep in mind their initial mission by inheriting the red gene. A great beginning leads to a great end by keeping the original idea in mind. Only when party members and cadres engrave the party's original heart and mission in their hearts, can they have a higher ideological starting point and inexhaustible spiritual motivation for life struggle. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: it is necessary to "let the broad masses of party members and cadres keep their original aspirations and undertake their mission in receiving red education, and strive to push forward the great cause for which the revolutionary martyrs fought and sacrificed". It is necessary to educate and guide all comrades in the party to understand the value of the party's original intention and mission, understand the importance of sticking to the party's original intention and mission, constantly examine the original intention, nourish the original intention, and constantly temper the political character of loyalty, cleanliness and responsibility.
Party members and cadres should cultivate noble moral qualities by inheriting the red gene. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "it is necessary to guide the majority of party members and cadres to inherit the red gene and cultivate noble moral qualities". In this regard, he put forward clear requirements from three aspects: first, we should advocate the great virtue of loyalty to the party, never forget the oath made when joining the party to be loyal to the party and never betray the party, so as to always be loyal to the party and the party's cause, so as to follow the party with heart and die without regret; second, we should advocate the public morality of benefiting the people, stand firm on the people's stand, and always share the people's stand, have the courage to take responsibility, act actively, and earnestly take the benefit of the people as the most fundamental duty; third, we must advocate the moral character of being strict with ourselves, be cautious and independent, be innocent and clean, and strive to be a noble person, a pure person, A moral person, a person who is divorced from low taste, a person who is beneficial to the people.
(II) People's Army
The people's army is a strong pillar to defend the red mountains and never change color. In long-term practice, the people's army has advanced under the banner of the party, formed a set of principles for building and governing the army, developed the strategies and tactics of the people's war, and cultivated a unique glorious tradition and fine style of work. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "this is the magic weapon for the people's army to move from victory to victory, and it is the red blood that the people's army must never forget." it is necessary to bear in mind the glorious history, inherit the red gene, and make unremitting efforts to build the people's army into a world-class army.
The people's army should ensure the party's absolute leadership over the army by inheriting the red gene. The way to govern the army is to cast the soul first. The red gene first shows the direction of the people's army's political army building. The core of political army building is to ensure the party's absolute leadership over the army and cultivate the absolute loyalty of officers and soldiers. For a long time, the most fundamental reason why our army has been able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and hardships, always maintain strong cohesion, centripetal force, and combat effectiveness, withstand all kinds of tests, and constantly move from victory to victory is the strong leadership of the party. This is the soul of the people's army and the inherent genetic bloodline, which can never be changed or lost. If this article is lost, the army will deteriorate.
On October 31, 2014, when President Xi Jinping attended the political work conference of the whole army in Gutian, Shanghang, Fujian Province, he stressed that "the fire of ideals and beliefs and the genes of red tradition should be passed on from generation to generation, so that the revolutionary cause can be passed on from generation to generation and the blood will last forever". On January 5, 2016, when President Xi Jinping inspected the 13th Group Army, he was deeply impressed by the story of the "half belt" and urged that the red resources in the army should be explored and used to enrich the connotation of the "red gene from generation to generation" project. Strengthen the education of party history and military history and glorious traditions to ensure that officers and soldiers always listen to and follow the party.
By inheriting the red gene, the people's army should cultivate "four haves" soldiers and "four iron" troops in the new era who can take on the important task of strengthening the army. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "it is necessary to inherit the red gene of the people's army, and strive to train revolutionary soldiers of the new era with soul, ability, blood, and moral character." forge a strong force with iron general belief, iron general belief, iron general discipline, and iron general responsibility, "and" always maintain the nature, purpose, and true character of the people's army ".
In the new era, the people's army should strive to forge the absolute loyalty of maintaining the core and listening to the party's command, strengthen the ideals and beliefs of socialism and communism, strengthen the innovative consciousness of daring to reform and break through, cultivate the fighting spirit of fearing neither hardship nor death, strictly enforce the revolutionary discipline of high self-consciousness and forbid, and consolidate the unique advantages of loving the people for the people and the unity of the army and the people, Promote the red gene into the blood of officers and soldiers, to provide political nourishment and powerful impetus for advancing the cause of strengthening the military in the new era, and to transform the precious spiritual wealth in the red gene into a powerful driving force for the modernization of national defense and the military.
(III) adolescents
Young people are the future of the motherland, the hope of the nation. Inheriting the red gene depends especially on generations of teenagers. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Chinese youth in the new era are more confident and self-reliant, full of speculative spirit, and at the same time face the realistic influence of various social thoughts. They will inevitably encounter ideological confusion in ideals and reality, doctrine and problems, self-interest and altruism, ego and big self, nation and world, and need in-depth and meticulous education and guidance, observe society with a keen eye, and think about life with a clear mind, create the future with the power of wisdom."
To strengthen the education and guidance of young people, we need to work hard to sow "red seeds" in the hearts of young people, strengthen the inheritance of young people's red genes, strengthen their beliefs and confidence, and ensure that the red country will never change color and there will be successors. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly emphasized: "We must do a good job in the study and education of young people, focus on telling the story of the party, the story of the revolution, and the story of the hero, and cultivate the feelings of loving the party, patriotism, and socialism, so that the red gene and the revolutionary fire can be passed on from generation to generation."
Young people should establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values by inheriting the red gene. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Revolutionary traditional education should start with dolls, not only pay attention to knowledge instillation, but also strengthen emotional cultivation, so that the red gene can seep into the blood and heart, and guide the broad masses of young people to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values." General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "the red gene is to be passed on. The Chinese nation has experienced many ups and downs and created many miracles from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong, so that future generations will remember".
It is necessary to educate and guide young people to correctly understand the general trend of the world and China's development. From our party's exploration of the historical development and great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we should understand and grasp the historical inevitability of the development of human society, understand and grasp the historical inevitability of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly establish the belief and confidence in striving for the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Correctly understand Chinese characteristics and international comparison, comprehensively and objectively understand contemporary China and look at the outside world; correctly understand the responsibilities and historical missions of the times, use the Chinese dream to inspire youth dreams, consciously integrate personal ideals and pursuits into the cause of the country and the nation, and be a pioneer and pioneer in the forefront of the times.
Through the inheritance of the red gene, young people should strive to grow into new people of the era who are worthy of the great task of national rejuvenation. Contemporary Chinese youth are a generation that walks in the same direction and advances together with the new era. They are born in prosperous times and shoulder heavy responsibilities. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out: "The best comfort for Chinese youth in the new era to their ancestors and the greatest responsibility for history is to firmly take the Long March of the new era." He repeatedly encouraged young people to be firm believers, active disseminators, and model practitioners of socialist core values, to learn more about the historical knowledge of Chinese revolution, construction, and reform, to learn from heroes, to learn from predecessors, and to learn from examples. Love the party, love the motherland, love the people, strive to be new people of the times worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation, and pass on the red gene from generation to generation with practical actions.
 

Practice Path of 3. Inheritance of Red Gene
Inheriting the red gene is a systematic project, which requires the concerted efforts of the whole party and the whole society, comprehensive policies, and long-term contributions. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of practical requirements in the light of the new situation in the new era, and systematically expounded the question of "how to inherit" the red gene.
(I) do a good job in arming scientific theories, and unremittingly use Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to cast the soul
Being firm and sober in theory is the premise of being firm and sober in ideology and politics. It is an important task for the new era to inherit the red gene to do a good job in arming the scientific theory and persistently casting the soul with Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Marxism is a sharp ideological weapon for understanding and transforming the world, and it is the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country.
For more than a hundred years, "the reason why our party has been able to unify its thinking, unify its pace, and move forward in unity, and the reason why it has been able to achieve great victories and brilliant achievements in revolution, construction, and reform lies in our party's adherence to Marxist guidance". In the historical process of advancing the modernization of Marxism in China, our party has successively achieved major theoretical achievements such as Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the "Three Represents", the scientific development concept, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The cause of the party and the people continues to create new situations.
Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st Century Marxism. It is the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit. It is the fundamental guiding ideology for promoting the construction of a powerful country and the great cause of national rejuvenation. To inherit the red gene in the new era, we must continue to strengthen theoretical arms, strengthen the study of the basic theory of Marxism, and master the standpoints and methods that run through it. In particular, we must comprehensively and systematically study Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and make good use of the people's supremacy and self-confidence. Self-reliance, adhere to integrity and innovation, adhere to problem orientation, adhere to system concepts, adhere to the world outlook and the world outlook, use Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the soul, and transform Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era into a powerful force that strengthens ideals, tempers party spirit, strengthens style, guides practice, and promotes work. The political, ideological, theoretical, and emotional identity of the party's innovative theory continue to cultivate our spiritual home.
(II) Strengthen the Study and Education of Party History and Draw Wisdom and Strength from the Party's History
the party's history is the most vivid and persuasive textbook. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "the history of the Chinese revolution is the best nutriment, and reviewing this great history can be vividly educated by the party's original mission, nature, purpose, ideals and beliefs". Promoting the whole party to learn the history of the party, make good use of the history of the party, draw wisdom and strength from the history of the party, and use the history of the party to educate, enlighten, influence, and inspire people is an important way to inherit the red gene.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to "clarify the historical logic, theoretical logic, and practical logic from the party's brilliant achievements, hardships, historical experience, and fine traditions. We must deeply understand the historical inevitability of adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and strengthen our confidence in the leadership of the Party. It is necessary to deeply understand the truth of Marxism and its Sinicized innovation theory, and strengthen the firmness of consciously implementing the party's innovation theory. We must deeply understand the correctness of the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics and unswervingly follow the only correct road of socialism with Chinese characteristics".
The broad masses of party members, cadres and the masses must adhere to the unity of learning party history and enlightenment, understand and grasp the latest expressions, evaluations and conclusions of the Party Central Committee on party history, comprehensively and systematically study party history, and learn and use the valuable historical experience accumulated by the party in its long-term struggle. Carry forward the great spirit of party building, establish a correct view of party history, and accurately grasp the main theme and mainstream essence of the party's historical development, at the same time, we should combine the study of party history with the study of the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation, so as to further achieve the understanding of history, the enhancement of faith, the respect of morality and the practice of learning history. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that we should adhere to the combination of theoretical armed forces and the normalization and long-term development of party history study and education, and guide party members and cadres to continue to learn history, learn history, increase trust, learn history, respect morality, and practice history, and inherit the red gene. Continue the red blood.
In order to promote the normalization and long-term effect of the study and education of party history, in February 2024, the CPC Central Committee issued the regulations on the study and education of party history. On the new journey, to inherit the red gene, we should take the opportunity of studying, publicizing and implementing the regulations on the study and Education of Party History, integrate the study and education of party history into daily life, and promote the whole party to learn and make good use of party history.
(III) protect, manage and make good use of red resources with heart and emotion.
Red resources are an important carrier of the red gene, a witness to the arduous and brilliant struggle of our party, and a vivid teaching material for strengthening ideals and beliefs and strengthening the cultivation of party spirit. it plays an important role in strengthening revolutionary traditional education, patriotism education and inheriting the red gene. Red resources refer to the material and spiritual resources with historical value, educational significance and commemorative significance formed under the leadership of the Communist Party of China in the period of new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, and the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, including important old sites, sites, memorial facilities or places, important archives, documents, manuscripts, audio-visual materials and objects, as well as representative other resources.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Revolutionary museums, memorials, party history museums, and martyrs cemeteries are the red gene pool of the party and the country." "from the site of the first Congress of the Party to the various important revolutionary bases of the Party, from the memorial sites of the Agrarian Revolution, the War of Resistance against Japan, and the War of Liberation to the important memorial sites of socialist revolution and construction, reform and opening up, we will relive those extraordinary years and look back on the difficult course that the Party has gone through all the way. The soul has been shocked and the spirit has been baptized." He repeatedly stressed that red resources must be protected, managed and used with heart and emotion.
On how to protect, manage and make good use of red resources, general secretary Xi Jinping put forward four clear requirements.
One is to strengthen scientific protection. Red resources are non-renewable and irreplaceable precious resources, and protection is the primary task. In line with the attitude of being responsible for history and the people, we should carry out in-depth special investigation of red resources, strengthen the protection of red sites and revolutionary cultural relics, and coordinate rescue protection and preventive protection, ontology protection and peripheral protection, single point protection and cluster protection.
The second is to carry out systematic research. We should coordinate the research force, strengthen the research planning, actively carry out the rescue, collection and research of revolutionary historical materials, strengthen the research on revolutionary history, and deeply explore the ideological connotation behind the red resources.
The third is to create a boutique exhibition. Adhere to the unity of political, ideological and artistic nature, guide and focus on the theme, speak with historical facts, strive to create high-quality exhibitions, enhance expression, communication and influence, and vividly spread the red culture.
The fourth is to strengthen the educational function. Focusing on major events and major nodes in various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, we will study and determine a number of important landmark places, tell the stories of the party, revolution, and heroes, and highlight the characteristics of the times. make it a big school that educates, inspires and shapes people.
(IV) make good use of the channel of "big ideological and political course"
The ideological and political course is the key course to implement the fundamental task of Lide and cultivate people. It is the main channel and main position to carry out Marxist theoretical education and use the party's innovative theory to cast the soul and educate people. It plays an important role in promoting the inheritance of the red gene.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must make good use of the'big ideological and political course' and must combine it with reality." To inherit the red gene, we should integrate the rich connotation and profound details embodied in the red gene into the classroom teaching of Ideological and political courses, promote the integrated construction of Ideological and political education in primary and secondary schools, improve the pertinence and attraction of Ideological and political courses, and "combine the ideological and political small classroom with the social classroom", "Tell the story of the Chinese nation, the story of the Communist Party of China, the story of the People's Republic of China, the story of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the story of reform and opening up, especially the story of the new era", and promote the red gene into teaching materials, classrooms, Enter the mind.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the essence of ideological and political courses is to be reasonable, and we must pay attention to methods and methods, and explain the truth deeply, thoroughly, and vividly". It is necessary to make good use of all kinds of red resources, carefully design exhibitions, red tourism routes, and learning experience routes, so as to make them a typical scene of the "big ideological and political course" and achieve the purpose of education. "It is necessary to design educational activities that conform to the cognitive characteristics of young people, build distinctive revolutionary traditional education, patriotism education, and youth ideological and moral education bases, and guide them to establish red ideals in their hearts from an early age", so that revolutionary history and fine traditions are more friendly to young people. Affinity and acceptance. It is necessary to encourage schools and revolutionary venues to carry out co-construction practices, carry out more in-depth activities such as on-site teaching, theme activities, and voluntary services, and encourage experts and commentators in memorials and museums to participate in ideological and political teaching activities as part-time teachers. It is necessary to tell the red story behind the revolutionary cultural relics well, especially to tell the "things" and "principles" behind the revolutionary cultural relics in depth, so as to prove the history of material evidence and reason based on things, and finally realize the truth of belief and belief with things behind the cultural relics, so as to make the "ideological and political course in the memorial hall" more vivid. It is necessary to give full play to the power of role models, encourage old revolutionaries, veteran cadres, veteran soldiers, veteran party members, and heroic models to continue to shine and tell stories based on their own experiences, so as to inject strong vitality into the red gene.
(V) the establishment of a normalized long-term institutional mechanism
The inheritance of the red gene is not achieved overnight and needs to be guaranteed by a normalized and long-term institutional mechanism. Strengthening top-level design and overall planning, and strengthening institutional arrangements are important ways to inherit the red gene. Since the new era, the party and the government have taken a series of major measures in these areas. For example, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the outline for the implementation of Patriotism Education in the New era; the standing Committee of the National people's Congress formulated and revised a series of special laws related to patriotism, such as the National Flag Law, the National Anthem Law, the National Emblem Law, the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs, and the Patriotic Education Law. The army regards the inheritance of the red gene as a strategic task and basic project of political army. All these provide legal and institutional guarantee for the inheritance of red gene. On the new journey, we should continue to strengthen the coordination of various systems, so that the inheritance of red genes can be integrated into daily life and become regular, thus forming a social fashion of inheriting red genes and continuously continuing red blood vessels.
Etiquette is an effective way to declare values, educate the people, strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs, and inherit the red gene. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "it is necessary to systematically establish and standardize some etiquette systems, such as flag-raising ceremonies, adult ceremonies, and ceremonies for joining the Party and the League, and to take advantage of major anniversaries and traditional national festivals to organize various forms of commemorative celebrations to spread mainstream values and enhance people's sense of identity and belonging.
