Party constitution clearly pointed out: "China's * * * production party takes Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development as its own action guide." In today's era of peace and development, especially with the establishment of the guiding position of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, it is particularly important to look at the contemporary value of Mao Zedong Thought as the party's guiding ideology scientifically.
1 the historical position of Mao Zedong Thought
As early as 1945, Mao Zedong Thought was established as the party's guiding ideology at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China and written into party constitution. Party constitution stipulated: "The China * * * Production Party takes the idea of integrating the theory of Mao Zedong Thought, that is, Marxism–Leninism, with the practice of the China revolution as the guiding principle of all its work and opposes any dogmatism and empiricism bias." (2) Although Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system was not included in the report of the 17th National Congress, it does not mean that Mao Zedong Thought's guiding position was abandoned.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system is a scientific theory that keeps pace with the times. It is the inheritance and development of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. As the first leap of Marxism in China, Mao Zedong Thought is the ideological forerunner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system. Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theory "is not a dogma, but an exposition of the development process that includes a series of interrelated stages"; (3) At the same time, "China today is the development of historical China; We are Marxist historians and should not cut off history. " ④

Mao Zedong Thought has profound theoretical value and guiding significance, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Marxist viewpoint. Comrade Mao Zedong believes that Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action and should be studied as a revolutionary science. At the same time, we should also learn from the standpoint and methods of Marxist classical writers in observing and solving problems. Marxist outlook is the premise, direction and guarantee of China Marxism, and the fundamental world outlook and scientific methodology for the formation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system.

At the same time, under China's special national conditions and party conditions, Mao Zedong Thought clearly answered the fundamental and historic topic of "what kind of party to build and how to build it" in theory and practice; He also stressed that we should follow the thought of "two musts" after winning the national revolution, which has important enlightenment for strengthening the party's clean government construction and maintaining the party's advanced nature.
(3) the contradiction theory of socialism. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in the article "On Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People" that the basic contradictions of socialism are non-antagonistic contradictions and can be self-improved and developed; At the same time, correctly handling contradictions among the people is the theme of national political life. The theory of social contradiction is the ideological root and theoretical basis of reform and development in the new period, and it also provides an important theoretical basis and scientific method for building a well-off society in an all-round way today.
(4) the idea of industrialization and modernization. In articles such as "On Ten Relationships" and "On Correctly Handling Contradictions among the People", Comrade Mao Zedong emphasized that the development of China should proceed from the basic national conditions of a large agricultural country and take its own road, put forward the general policy of economic development based on agriculture and industry and the strategic goal of modernization, and outlined the grand blueprint for China to take a new road to industrialization in the new era.
(5) The concepts of culture and technology. Comrade Mao Zedong put forward a national, scientific and popular cultural theory and the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend" and "making the past serve the present and making foreign things serve China". Comrade Mao Zedong also issued a great call of "marching into science", and pointed out that the key to the success or failure of scientific and technological revolution is scientific and technological talents. This has effectively promoted the development and progress of China's cultural undertakings and science and technology.
(6) The concept of investigation and study. Comrade Mao Zedong emphasized that there is no right to speak without investigation, and pointed out that investigation and research should have a correct attitude and scientific methods. His thought of investigation and research is conducive to the correct formulation and implementation of relevant principles and policies, can keep close contact with the masses, and points out the basic methods for the realization of Marxism in China, which is the fundamental working method that must be adhered to forever.

Comrade Mao Zedong advocated an independent foreign policy of peace, opposed hegemonism and power politics, stood with the third world and supported the national liberation movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America, which provided guidelines for correctly understanding the strategic situation of the contemporary international community and formulating correct diplomatic strategies.
Mao Zedong Thought's living soul and scientific methodology are of eternal value.
Mao Zedong Thought's living soul and scientific methodology have long-term significance and lasting value beyond time and space constraints and historical conditions. It has become people's potential consciousness and a scientific guide to guide our party's actions.
3. 1 Mao Zedong Thought's living soul value
(1) Seek truth from facts. Seeking truth from facts is the theoretical cornerstone and soul support of Mao Zedong Thought's scientific system. It is precisely because Comrade Mao Zedong adhered to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts that he found the road from the new-democratic revolution to the socialist revolution. Comrade Deng Xiaoping adhered to the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, broke through the shackles of traditional socialist concepts, revealed the essence of socialism and pioneered the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Comrade Jiang Zemin adhered to the fine tradition of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, carried forward the innovative spirit of keeping pace with the times, and formed the theory of "Theory of Three Represents". Comrade Hu Jintao regards emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts as an important magic weapon for socialist construction, and puts forward the Scientific Outlook on Development, which broadens the development path of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The new generation of central collective leadership headed by Chairman unswervingly adheres to the ideological line of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times and seeking truth from facts, and puts forward the overall layout of "five in one" in socialist construction.
(2) the mass line. The mass line is the fundamental political line and organizational line of our party. Comrade Mao Zedong "raised the mass line to the height of Marxist epistemology and made a theoretical summary, or turned the principle of Marxist epistemology into a leadership method, which is a pioneering work in the development history of Marxist philosophy". Comrade Jiang Zemin also pointed out that upholding and carrying forward the mass line is the fundamental guarantee for our party to remain invincible. The party's report also proposes to "adhere to the people-oriented principle, govern for the people, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people." ⑥ "Focusing on maintaining the Party's advanced nature and purity, we will carry out in-depth education and practice activities of the Party's mass line with the main content of being pragmatic and honest for the people, focus on solving outstanding problems strongly reflected by the people, and improve the ability to do mass work well under the new situation." ⑦ Nowadays, the mass line has become the fundamental method of all fronts and work under the leadership of the Party.
(3) independence. Independence mainly refers to basing oneself on one's own country, taking one's own road and relying on one's own strength to develop revolution and construction. It implements the basic principle of self-reliance as the mainstay, supplemented by seeking foreign aid. Guided by the principle of independence and self-reliance, China * * * Production Party led the people of China to struggle and forge ahead, and won a great victory in the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Party's report also clearly pointed out: "For more than 90 years, our Party has closely relied on the people, combined the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of China and the characteristics of the times, independently followed its own path, endured hardships and paid various costs, and achieved great victories in revolutionary construction and reform, created and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the people of China and the Chinese nation." ⑧
3.2 Mao Zedong Thought's methodological value
There are many scientific methodologies in Mao Zedong Thought that are worth learning and applying in various work practices. Such as contradiction analysis. In the practice of revolution and construction, Comrade Mao Zedong explained and applied Marxist philosophy in China's own words, realizing the China and popularization of Marxism. At the same time, Comrade Mao Zedong also emphasized the basic principle of contradiction, and pointed out the relationship between * * * and personality, as well as the relationship between two-point theory and emphasis theory, which is of great significance. In the new period, it is the concrete application of contradiction analysis method and the law of unity of opposites to implement the party's general plan of governing the country with two hands, trinity, quaternity and pentathlon.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Through practice, we can find that the value of Mao Zedong Thought is groundbreaking, basic and instructive. In the new era, we should base ourselves on the great practice of building a well-off society in an all-round way in China, further understand and tap the theoretical viewpoints and wisdom flashes with contemporary value in Mao Zedong Thought's treasure house with a new vision, and make them a scientific guide for our actions.
