　　Deeply Understand the High Conform of Marxism and Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have different sources, but they are highly compatible with each other." Marxism came into being in Europe in the 19th century, and there are great differences in time, space and social environment between Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture, but the two have a high degree of compatibility in many aspects, which creates the necessary premise and important foundation for the "second combination.
In the ideological content has a high degree of fit. The high degree of compatibility between Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture is mainly reflected in the ideological content. For example, Marxism believes that the masses of the people are the creators of material wealth, the practice of the masses of the people is the real source of spiritual culture, and the masses of the people are the creators of history and the decisive force of social change. For thousands of years, people-oriented concepts such as "the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful", "the way to govern the country, the beginning of enriching the people" and other people-oriented concepts have been passed down from generation to generation in our country, with far-reaching influence, and have become the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture. The Marxist view of the people is highly compatible with the people-oriented concept in the excellent traditional Chinese culture. For another example, Marxism believes that "man lives by nature". Human beings produce, live and develop in the interaction with nature. If human beings treat nature well, nature will also give gifts to human beings. However, "if people conquer natural forces by scientific and creative genius, then natural forces will also retaliate against people". Marxist thought on the relationship between man and nature is highly compatible with the excellent traditional Chinese ecological culture such as Taoism and nature and the unity of man and nature. The high degree of consistency in ideological content has laid a solid foundation for the "second combination.
In the pursuit of mission has a high degree of fit. In order to realize the deep combination of the two kinds of ideology and culture, there must be a high degree of compatibility in the basic value orientation and mission pursuit. Marxism takes human liberation and free and all-round development as its value goal, and for the first time explores the road of human freedom and liberation from the standpoint of the people. with scientific theory, it points out the direction for the final establishment of an ideal society without oppression, exploitation, equality and freedom for all. The excellent traditional Chinese culture pursues "one family in the world", advocates harmony between the people and all nations, and the world is in harmony, and looks forward to a beautiful world where "the world is the public. The Communist Party of China seeks happiness for the Chinese people, rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, progress for mankind and great common peace for the world. Practice has proved that the high degree of compatibility between Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture in mission pursuit has created important conditions for the "second combination.
A high degree of fit in terms of open character. Open character is not only an essential element of ideological and cultural innovation and development, but also a prerequisite for the exchange and integration of different ideas and cultures. Marxism is a constantly developing and open theory, which always stands at the forefront of the times and develops with the changes of practice. A history of the development of Marxism is the history of Marx, Engels and their successors constantly developing according to the development of the times, practice and understanding, and constantly absorbing all the excellent ideological and cultural achievements in human history to enrich their own history. Chinese excellent traditional culture has the distinct characteristics of openness and inclusiveness. In the long process of historical evolution, Chinese excellent traditional culture always moves with the times and changes in things, and constantly develops itself in the process of being eclectic and learning from others. The high degree of compatibility between Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture in terms of open character makes it possible to combine the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture.

The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture is another ideological emancipation. Let us make full use of the precious resources of the excellent traditional Chinese culture in a broader cultural space to explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
