The Rebirth of New Students: A Collision Between Marxism and Traditional Chinese Culture During the Yan'an Period

新生中再造：延安时期马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化的碰撞

Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has continuously engaged in discourse construction, gradually establishing a discourse power that aligns with the realities of the Chinese revolution and fits China's specific national conditions. This has promoted the establishment of Marxist theory as a guiding principle and led to the creation of an Sinicized Marxist discourse system. During the Yan' an period, the Communist Party of China actively organized the exploration and utilization of cultural resources, enriching cultural content. In response to questions such as how to use excellent traditional Chinese culture to boost national spirit, achieve self-reliance and strength for the Chinese people, and how to grasp future development directions, it proposed applying Marxism as a theoretical reference in social practice and cultural criticism. This led to the collision between Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture, promoting their organic integration and forming new democratic cultural theory. Guided by this methodology, the Communist Party of China has achieved remarkable success in cultural construction. These explorations and practices offer important practical insights for the Communist Party of China today, under the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, to consolidate the foundation of cultural confidence in the “second combination” and broaden the paths for cultural development in the new era.

中国共产党在成立之后便不断开展话语叙事，逐步构建起了贴合中国革命实际、符合中国具体国情的话语权，推动了马克思主义理论指导地位的确立，创立了中国化的马克思主义话语体系。在延安时期，中国共产党积极组织挖掘文化资源，丰富文化内容，面对如何利用中华优秀传统文化提振民族精神、实现中国人民自立自强以及如何把握未来发展方向等问题，提出了将马克思主义作为理论借鉴运用到实际的社会实践与文化批判中，产生了马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化的碰撞，促进了二者的有机结合，形成了新民主主义文化理论。中国共产党以此方法论为导向，在文化建设方面取得了卓越的成就。这些探索与实践，对于当前中国共产党在习近平文化思想的引领下，于“第二个结合”中夯实文化自信根基，拓宽新时代文化发展路径具有重要的现实启示。
