The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation entails significant cultural and ethical advancement and also tremendous material progress. The CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has continued to apply Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to toughen up the Party and educate the public, working to foster a socialist ideology with solid appeal and full capacity for guidance. It has continued building consensus and pooling strength with the help of core socialist values. It has also nourished the roots and forged the nation's soul with advanced socialist, revolutionary, and refined traditional Chinese culture.

Xi's discourses in this regard serve as an essential guide for the country's education efforts on ideals and convictions, its cultivation and practice of core socialist values, its advancement in etiquette and civility, and its society-wide improvement of civic-mindedness.
