Abstract:
The essence of modernization is the value of scientific rationality, which runs through the whole process of China’s modernization development.Since modern times, neither the reform under the leadership of the Qing government nor the assumption of the scholarbureaucrats on the reform of institutions have touched the level of scientific rational spirit.After the New Culture Movement, the intellectual group represented by the advanced Communists enhanced the understanding of scientific rational spirit.Only in the course of the Chinese people’s revolutionary quest for liberation led by the Communist Party of China can the scientific rational spirit be practiced and clarified.In the first 30 years after the founding of New China, the socialist modernization advanced through twists and turns. The proposal of “the Four Modernizations”, the preliminary establishment of a complete industrial system, and the foundational development of national defense science and technology reflected the practical practice of the scientific and rational spirit.Reform and Openingup is a vivid practice in which the Communist Party of China leads the Chinese people to hold high the scientific and rational banner of seeking truth from facts and the views of the masses, and expand the vitality and vigor of China’s modernization.The socialist modernization drive with Chinese characteristics in the new era has not only upheld the scientific and rational spirit inherited from the Communist Party of China’s history, but further enriched and improved its connotation, emphasizing HighQuality Development, Rejuvenating the Country through Science and Education, highlighting institutional and human modernization, and inheriting and advancing the goal of socialist modernization.
