After a comprehensive study of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system this semester, I have a deep understanding of Mao Zedong Thought.
The theoretical system of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theoretical achievement produced in the process of Marxism China. The China of Marxism is to concretize Marxism in China; China of Marxism; Combining Marxism with China's reality. The theoretical achievements of Marxism in China are Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development. At the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, the three theoretical achievements of China Marxism, were gradually formed by combining Marxism with China's socialist modernization during the reform and opening up period, collectively known as Socialism with Chinese characteristics theoretical system.
The significance of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system to college students' scientific world outlook, outlook on life and values. World outlook is people's fundamental understanding or view of the whole world. A person's life is to live in a specific era and society. Different times have different social situations, and people in different times have different historical missions. Establishing a correct world outlook is the premise of correctly grasping the development law of the whole world. Only by correctly grasping the law of world development and recognizing the characteristics of the times can we ensure that college students can adapt to the society in the future, so that they can plan their own road to success scientifically and objectively according to the development of the times and society. Mao Zedong Thought pointed out for us that the China Revolution in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society would overthrow the "three mountains", the first step being the democratic revolution and the second step being the socialist revolution, which became a scientific guide for China's revolution and construction. Deng Xiaoping Theory profoundly revealed the essence of socialism, and "concluded that developing productive forces is the basic principle of Marxism, peace and development are the themes of the contemporary world, and developing productive forces is the main task of the primary stage of socialism". "Theory of Three Represents" dialectically outlined a scientific and complete system of party building from a new height of high democracy. Starting from the main layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, Scientific Outlook on Development has further improved Socialism with Chinese characteristics's development road, development model and development strategy, which has long-term guiding significance for Socialism with Chinese characteristics's development. The above theory shows that the historical mission of different times is different for people of insight in different times. It is inevitable that they will make great achievements under the guidance of correct theories after seeing the characteristics of the times and realizing the fundamental problems of society. If you choose your own goals, keep your faith and make unremitting efforts, you will surely achieve impressive results.
The essence of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system laid a philosophical foundation for the formation of dialectical materialism epistemology and methodology of college students. The so-called essence, for a certain theory, refers to the most essential thing that can make this theory form and develop and run through it, and at the same time embodies the basic viewpoints of this theoretical system. The essence of every theoretical achievement in Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system is seeking truth from facts. It is precisely because of this correct theoretical principle that Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development were founded and developed. At the same time, this spirit is also reflected in the basic contents and aspects of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system. Mao Zedong defined the scientific meaning of seeking truth from facts in Transforming Our Learning: "Practical learning refers to everything that exists objectively, and existence is the internal connection of objective things, that is, regularity, and seeking truth from facts is what we study." Seeking truth from facts inherently includes three aspects: proceeding from reality, integrating theory with practice, testing truth in practice and developing truth. Proceeding from reality is the starting point of seeking truth from facts, and it is the basic content, basic requirement, premise and foundation of the ideological line of seeking truth from facts. All "reality" based on reality contains three layers: one refers to everything that exists objectively, that is, the object; Second, it refers to the interconnection between all things that exist objectively, that is, the interconnection between objects; Third, it refers to people's ongoing practical activities. Knowing all the "practical" contents of proceeding from reality, the key point is how to proceed from reality. First of all, we must admit reality and respect objective things; Secondly, we should know the reality; Finally, act according to objective laws on the basis of the first two articles. In these three steps, a correct understanding of reality is the key. The specific laws and methods of understanding are: look at the problem comprehensively, proceed from the overall situation of things, and never see the forest only for the trees; Seeing the essence through the phenomenon, we can't stay on the surface of the phenomenon; Look at things dynamically from the perspective of development, not statically; Investigate and study with a correct attitude and scientific methods. Integrating theory with practice is the fundamental way and method of seeking truth from facts. The "reality" of integrating theory with practice mainly refers to people's ongoing practical activities. Therefore, integrating theory with practice is the combination of theory and practice, which is the basic content of the ideological line of seeking truth from facts and the fundamental way to persist in seeking truth from facts and realize the unity of subjectivity and objectivity. Integrating theory with practice includes two aspects: first, practical activities must be guided by scientific theories; Second, scientific theory can only show great vitality if it is combined with concrete practice.
Testing and developing truth in practice is the verification condition and purpose of seeking truth from facts. To judge whether it is realistic or not, we need to understand the truth. "Social practice is the only criterion for testing truth." To judge whether knowledge or truth is true or not depends not on subjective feelings, but on the results of objective social practice. The standard of truth can only be social practice. College is an important stage in life. Although the road of life is long, there are only a few key steps. The university period is a crucial period for college students to lay the foundation for healthy growth and career take-off. A person's philosophy of life determines his life direction, how he will treat the problems in life and how to deal with them. Correct epistemology and methodology determine the realization of college students' self-awareness and scientific life goals. As an ideological line, seeking truth from facts is a scientific and dialectical materialist epistemology and methodology. From the explanation of the scientific connotation and basic content of seeking truth from facts, we can see the philosophical basis of dialectical materialism. These philosophical methods are of great significance for college students to understand society, self, how to treat problems and how to deal with them.
In the process of college students' growth, there will be various voices telling them what life should be like and how to take the road of life. Some of these voices can be used for reference, while others are not. Because life has reasonable and unreasonable goals. Reasonable goals will greatly arouse the enthusiasm of college students and make them make continuous achievements; Unreasonable goals will make college students lose confidence and never recover. In this regard, we must use a realistic point of view to guide. After setting goals from reality, we should constantly test the goals in practice and constantly sum up and adjust them, so as to find a most practical, objective and successful growth path.
The theoretical system of Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, with its great significance, has established its unshakable position in China in the past, present and future. Exploring its practical significance will make contemporary college students realize its great vitality while learning and understanding it, and deeply feel that Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system is a scientific theoretical system with rich content, fresh soul and exuberant vitality.
