Advanced educational analysis of materials New century and new stage, our Party shoulders a great historical mission. It is faced with a complicated international and domestic environment. In order to effectively address the various challenges encountered by the Party in the advanced nature of the problem, the 16th CPC National Congress and the Sixteenth Plenary decided to maintain the advanced nature education to practice the activities. This is an important measure to keep the Party's advanced nature. To make this educational activity do a good job, first of all, scientifically understand and grasp the meaning and requirements of the Party’s advanced nature, and fully understand the importance and necessity of maintaining the Party’s advanced nature.
Correctly understand and grasp the basic meaning of the Party’s advanced nature: The Chinese Communist Party is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, while it is also the vanguard of the Chinese people and nation. What is the vanguard? Only when something is advanced can it be called a vanguard. Therefore, being advanced is one of the basic requirements of the Party's nature. Whether the Party as a whole or its members in their own qualities, ideological consciousness, political behavior, etc., should be advanced, always at the forefront, and fully play the role of pilot, pioneer, model, and example. So, who should be at the forefront? In other words, what is the Party’s advanced nature? Where does the Party’s advanced nature ultimately lie?
First of all, walk in the forefront of the people walking in the forefront of the masses of the working class. This is the basic meaning of the Party’s advanced nature, which has been recognized and adhered to since our founding. Lenin said that the party is part of the working class, but not all of the party. Mao Zedong said: always represent and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and nation, leading the people to carry out an organized fighting force in the revolution, construction, and reform. The Party’s class base is associated with advanced productive forces, the working class, and the scientific theory of Marxism as its guiding ideology. The Party organizes itself strictly according to structure and discipline, and all members strive to become conscious, organized, disciplined advanced elements of the working class and the masses. Whether in the period of revolution, construction, or reform, the Party always walks in the forefront of the working class, in the forefront of the entire Chinese people, and in the forefront of the entire Chinese nation. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party has always been the vanguard of the Chinese working class and the advanced troops of the Chinese people and nation.
So-called advanced also refers to walking in the forefront of history and the trends of the times. Over the years, our understanding of the Party’s advanced nature mainly concentrated on the relations of the masses, emphasizing walking in the forefront of the masses, the most advanced molecular part of the people. This is correct. But at a deeper level, where does the Party’s advanced nature ultimately perform? In fact, it is not only the performance comparison between people, fundamentally, or in the Party and the historical law of development, and the process of development of the times, and the relationship between the state and the nation facing the task.
In summary, any political force, its role and destiny, there is a certain trend of the times, rules, and processes associated with it. A class, a political party, a group, can have and always maintain their vitality in the final analysis lies with being consistent with the times and direction and trend, always walking in the forefront of the trend of the times. Adhering with the times, full of vitality, prosperity; if stagnant, rigid, departure from the law of historical development, sooner or later be eliminated by history.
The advanced nature of the Communist Party of China is able to follow the objective laws of social development, adhere to the forefront of the trend of the times, through the development of a scientific line and program guidelines and policies, and earnestly carry out the duties entrusted by the people, take on the historic task given by the times.
Then, what are the requirements of the trend of the times and the laws of social development for a political party? Or, what is the final connotation of the Party’s advanced nature? In different historical periods, the Party’s advanced nature has different requirements. Ultimately, however, will depend on whether it represents the development requirements of China’s advanced productive forces, represents the direction of China’s advanced culture, and represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of people.
