To achieve national rejuvenation,youth is the pioneering force.The cultivation of youth is inseparable from the education of ideals and beliefs,which is the spiritual banner for Chinese youth to go forward and strive for advancement.Since the 18 th Party Congress,Xi Jinping has paid great attention to the cultivation of ideal beliefs of the young generation,repeatedly urging the youth to be firm in their ideals and beliefs.He has made a series of important elaborations on what kind of ideal beliefs to educate the youth and how to educate them,thus forming Xi Jinping’s important discourse on youth ideal and belief education.The formation of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on youth ideal and belief education is based on the specific background of the times,rooted in a deep theoretical foundation and derived from a complex practical basis.First of all,its formation is the result of the joint action of domestic and foreign backgrounds.The international background is due to the unprecedented changes of the century,which affect the construction of youth ideals and beliefs,and the competition of comprehensive national power,which requires young people to strengthen their ideals and beliefs,while the domestic background is due to the call of realizing the "Chinese dream" and the rise of various social trends in China.Secondly,the thesis of Marxist classical writers on youth ideal and belief education and the thesis of the main leaders of the Communist Party of China on youth ideal and belief education have provided rich theoretical support for its formation.Finally,the practical basis for its formation is to respond to the development of the situation of youth ideal and belief education and to solve the existing problems of youth ideal and belief education.Xi Jinping’s important discourse on youth ideal and belief education is rich in connotation.It emphasizes the importance of youth ideal and belief education,clarifies the content of youth ideal and belief education,defines the principles of youth ideal and belief education,indicates the methods of youth ideal and belief education,and at the same time makes clear requirements for the main implementation body of youth ideal and belief education,the above five aspects promote each other and are closely connected.Xi Jinping’s important discourse on youth ideal and belief education has distinctive features,including scientific,contemporary,relevant and practical.In addition,it has deep value implications at the ideological and practical levels.On the one hand,it is inseparable from the Marxist ideology of youth ideal and belief education and the Marxist ideology of Chinese youth ideal and belief education,and at the same time it inherits and develops both of them,reflecting rich ideological values;on the other hand,it is not only conducive to the growth and success of contemporary youth,but also conducive to the effective development of youth ideal and belief education,and more conducive to promoting the realization of the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,showing far-reaching practical values. |
