Contemporary China's modernization, especially the great success of reform and opening up, has long been unable to be explained by a dogmatic theoretical framework. China in the new era, from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, urgently needs to be strong in thought, theory, discourse, value, culture and civilization; China, which has never been so close to the great cause of national rejuvenation, urgently needs to think about China and the world with its own mind, describe China and the world with its own voice, and write China and the world with its own pen. In recent years, Zhuxi Town, Kaizhou District, Chongqing has vigorously promoted the construction of Rural Revitalization. Starting from the aspects of industrial upgrading, living environment and infrastructure, it has deeply explored the multiple values of rural ecological conservation, leisure and sightseeing, cultural experience, health and elderly care, so as to promote the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism. The picture shows tourists visiting the Rural Revitalization demonstration park in Zhuxi town. Photographed by Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Chan Yan Yilong's "Chinese road and Chinese truth" is such an effort and attempt. The book embodies the methodology of studying and interpreting the Chinese road from three angles. First, the road is out, and the study and interpretation of China's road must be based on practice; Second, we should follow the "right path in the world", and the study and interpretation of China's road should be people-centered; Third, there is a long way to go. It is appropriate to take socialism as the method to study and explain China's road. Tao at your feet: Based on practice The main structure of China Road and China truth is divided into five parts. The first part is "China discourse methodology", and then it interprets China Road and China truth from four aspects: economic model, political model, governance model, China and the world. Therefore, clarifying the "Chinese discourse methodology" is the premise to interpret the Chinese road and elucidate the Chinese truth. The book puts forward "practice as the body" and "one body and three uses", that is, taking modern Chinese practice as the body and Marxism, traditional culture and western theory as the use. The theoretical toolbox for understanding the Chinese road does not include western theories, but we should see that it is only one of them that can be used, and it is only "used". To interpret the Chinese road, we must return to Chinese practice, take Chinese practice as the basis, start from the living Chinese reality, not from any existing external theoretical framework, otherwise we will still be trapped by metaphysics. It is gratifying that more and more people of insight agree with "China as the center" in the study of Chinese issues, but the most fundamental meaning of "China" can only be the new and new "Chinese practice", that is, the "Chinese social reality" that "Chinese philosophy" needs to face. The methodological turn based on practice means that "from integrated research to independent research", from the rigid research path of "theoretical hypothesis empirical test" to the research path of "fact immersion" - Theoretical dialogue - theoretical hypothesis empirical test ". What is "fact immersion"? It means "immersing in the process of practice, not just summarizing after collecting data, including participating in policy research, on-site investigation, in-depth interview, dissecting sparrows and so on". It can be seen from the whole book that the author's long-term "immersion" in "national conditions", especially his long-term experience in five-year planning research, as well as a large number of field research, provide an empirical basis and important conditions for him to build a new theory from Chinese practice. For example, based on the study of the five-year plan, the concepts of "overall knowledge application mechanism", "national target governance system" and "brainstorming decision-making system" are put forward, which have both explanatory power and identification, and provide vivid and powerful arguments for readers to deeply understand China's new political and economic system under the condition of socialist market economy. Huang Zongzhi, a famous sociologist, advocates "practical social science". The key to the problem is how to connect theory and practice. In his view, the right path between theoretical rationality and practical logic has long been explored by "Mao Zedong Thought". Huang Zongzhi believes that "the insight of Mao Zedong thought lies in a very clear understanding of the key problem generally ignored by academia and theorists, that is, how to connect practice and theory." the book discusses the epistemology from Marx to Mao Zedong and believes that the "reflective evolution process" of the interaction between theory and practice "There will be the two leaps that Mao Zedong said that material changes into spirit and spirit changes into material". The Chinese road was initiated by the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The methodology of studying and explaining the Chinese road has long existed in the guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China. It should be noted that once Marxism or Mao Zedong thought is treated as dogmatic and doctrinal, rather than as a weapon, tool and method to understand and transform the world, its life will be lost Strength and creativity are not far from fading. Therefore, on the one hand, we should adhere to the "Tao at the foot", build Chinese theory and explain Chinese truth based on Chinese practice and from Chinese reality; on the other hand, we should adhere to the correct ideological guidance and turn theory into method. The right way in the world: Taking the people as the center The Chinese road and the Chinese truth points out that "the Chinese road is a new road for mankind, a right road for the world, and a new order for mankind; the Chinese truth is the reason for the Chinese road, the reason for being reasonable, and the reason for being in the middle, and a new knowledge system for mankind." the reason why the Chinese road is a "new road" and a "right road" and has the meaning of "human beings" Fundamentally speaking, its significance is because it has advanced ideological and theoretical guidance and lofty value ideals as its goals. "Chinese society is a people-centered order. The people's main body, the party's leadership and socialism constitute the 'iron triangle' of China's system, and it is also a meta concept for building China's academic discourse system." Both the people's main body and the party's leadership have a good understanding, and the difficulty is how to understand socialism. The book mentions that in this "iron triangle", "socialism is the economic, political, social and cultural community of all the people.... socialism is a new human society road of symbiotic economy, shared distribution, common prosperity and common ideals" It is precisely because China is following the socialist road that the Chinese road can be called "the right way in the world" and "the new human order". The Chinese truth derived from the Chinese road is "the truth of the Tao" and "the truth of the middle way". The book discusses China's economic model, political model, governance model, China and the world, which is to explain what is the model of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The interpretation of the model of socialism with Chinese characteristics in this book shows that the methodology of Chinese Social Science constructed from China's practical experience is different from that of western social science. Under the western capitalist order, social science Will be divided into highly atomized individuals. Therefore, the western mainstream social sciences pursue individualism methodology, which is basically in line with its social structure principles and internal spirit. China follows the socialist road, so the methodology of Chinese Social Sciences Based on China's practical experience can be called socialist or communitarian methodology. In fact, this is China The methodology of road embodies the central idea of all development for the people. The road is blocked and long: Taking Socialism as the method Socialist methodology focuses on the combination of decentralized knowledge and holistic knowledge. Under the condition of socialist market economy, national planning mainly plays a role in the field of holistic knowledge and public affairs governance, while the market mainly plays a role in the field of decentralized knowledge and private product provision, so it can form a compound advantage. The target governance system is through the use of holistic knowledge system It is a national governance way to formulate national plans, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, guide the allocation of resources, and jointly promote the realization of objectives through the combination of bottom-up and top-down. The socialist methodology focuses on the balance between people's well-being and economic development. The core concept of the people's livelihood country is the concept of the socialist community, which focuses on promoting people's development ability. The system to improve people's well-being undertaken by individuals, communities and countries emphasizes common rights and common responsibilities, and its functions are developed in production, primary distribution and redistribution Compared with the capitalist system, socialism obviously has obvious institutional advantages in solving the problems of people's livelihood. The socialist methodology focuses on the combination of demand side management and supply side management. The lack of effective demand is determined by the production mode in which capital pursues profit maximization and the corresponding unbalanced distribution mode under the condition of market economy, which is a greater challenge for China's economic development. Under the condition of socialist market economy, there are public opportunities in addition to market economy The new demand management is mainly to give full play to the advantages of the socialist system, expand the effective demand space and promote the sustainable and coordinated development of the economy by promoting public consumption, public investment and tapping global potential demand. Based on Chinese practice, this book summarizes China's political system as "seven power division of labor", that is, to realize the mutual division of labor and cooperation between powers through the integration and intersection of powers, so as to realize public functions more efficiently. The socialist methodology pays attention to the brainstorming decision-making system combining democracy and concentration. The author divides the brainstorming decision-making into five stages, namely, Qu Qun's strategy, brainstorming, extensive consultation, joint resolution and litigation. The formulation of China's five-year plan or plan is a process from democracy to concentration, then to democracy and then to concentration, which condenses the will and wisdom of the whole party, the whole country and the whole society Hui finally rose to law and became the program and goal of the people's concerted struggle. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of China's decision-making process, that is, attaching importance to research, mass participation, deliberative democracy, democratic concentration and scientific democracy. The political logic behind it is democratic centralism, and the core feature is the organic combination of scientificity and democracy. Socialist methodology focuses on ensuring Chinese style good governance through the four elements of vanguard political parties, promising government, mutually beneficial market and organic society. The essence of good governance lies in maximizing the people's subjectivity, fully ensuring that the people are the masters of the country, and giving full play to the people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. The leadership of vanguard political parties is the key and fundamental advantage of good governance in China It determines that China is a promising government rather than a limited government, a mutually beneficial market rather than a free market, and an organic society rather than a civil society. The fundamental reason why China's political system is a division of labor system rather than a three-dimensional system lies in the integration of the leadership of the Party Central Committee. What determines China's future is the game between the party's leadership and capital power. Socialist methodology focuses on Communitarianism as a new paradigm of international relations in the 21st century. China has put forward the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, which provides a new paradigm of communitarianism for international relations in the 21st century. The security concept of communitarianism is the concept of universal security, the development concept of communitarianism is the concept of common development, the civilization concept of communitarianism is the concept of civilization blending, and communitarianism The communitarianism conforms to the international political reality of the 21st century and responds to the international political challenges of the 21st century,
