| During the Yan’an Rectification period,the Communist Party of China(CPC)carried out the Yan’an Rectification Movement,a significant Marxist educational and ideological political practice,to rectify the remnants of the "Left" deviation within the party.This deviation had led to a series of problems such as subjectivism,sectarianism,and dogmatism.The CPC implemented a range of innovative ideological and political education practices in political work,literary and artistic work,and the construction of the people’s army.These efforts comprehensively enhanced the effectiveness of the Yan’an Rectification Movement’s ideological and political education.During the Yan’an Rectification period,the CPC adhered to the principle of integrating theory with practice.It actively combined the scientific theories of Marxism with the realities of the Chinese revolution and the resistance against Japanese aggression.The party continuously explored the innovative development of ideological and political education from both theoretical and practical perspectives,achieving fruitful results and significant effects.Ideological and political education is an excellent tradition,distinct characteristic,and prominent political advantage of the CPC.Looking back at history and summarizing experiences,it holds great practical significance for improving and strengthening today’s ideological and political education work.The series of experiences and methods in ideological and political education left by the Yan’an Rectification period still carry epochal value and provide valuable historical enlightenment and scientific guidance for ideological and political education work in the new era.In the process of a century-long struggle,the CPC has been able to withstand hardships and grow from small and weak to become the world’s largest ruling party,achieving glorious revolutionary,construction,and development accomplishments.The key lies in the CPC’s persistent adherence to the principles of building the party through ideology and strengthening the party through theory.Regardless of the period,the party has consistently armed the minds of its members and cadres with scientific theories,maintaining unified thinking,firm determination,and strong combat effectiveness.Faced with the severe domestic situation during the Anti-Japanese War and the intense international environment of the anti-fascist war,the CPC tackled the challenges caused by remnants of "Left" deviation and the complex backgrounds of new party members that troubled ideological and political education.With a scientifically rigorous plan,the CPC systematically carried out the great ideological and political education practice of the Yan’an Rectification Movement.The party achieved two major results in terms of theory: the practical thinking line of seeking truth from facts and the guiding principle of "rectifying mistakes and saving people" in diagnosing and curing problems.In terms of practice,the CPC innovated in the areas of political work,literary and artistic work,and military construction,greatly enhancing the effectiveness of ideological and political education through active exploration of cultural atmosphere,institutional framework,content,presentation forms,and media dissemination.While the ideological and political education of the CPC during the Yan’an Rectification period achieved remarkable results,it also left behind a series of valuable experiences from theoretical innovation and practical exploration.These experiences have important value for continuously improving the scientific nature of ideological and political education,conducting practical activities in ideological and political education,and advancing the party’s self-revolution in the new era.In the new era,to respond to the ever-changing environment of ideological and political education and meet the practical needs of promoting innovative development in ideological and political education,it is necessary to start from the social reality and inherit,develop,and innovate the CPC’s experiences in ideological and political education during the Yan’an Rectification period,injecting new vitality into the innovation and development of ideological and political education in the new era. |
