The "Decision" proposes that we should proceed from the strategy and the overall situation, grasp the law of cultural development, improve the leadership system and mechanism, improve working methods, and enhance the ability to build leadership culture.
The "Decision" makes work arrangements from four aspects. First, earnestly shoulder the political responsibility of promoting cultural reform and development.

The fourth is to give play to the people's enthusiasm for cultural creation. People are the deepest source of strength to promote the great development and prosperity of socialist culture. The "Decision" proposes to firmly establish the Marxist mass viewpoint, provide a broad stage for the masses to become builders of socialist culture, extensively carry out mass cultural activities, guide the masses to express themselves, educate themselves and serve themselves in cultural construction, popularize the outstanding achievements of mass culture, create a good atmosphere to encourage cultural creation in the whole society, and give full play to the cultural creativity contained in the masses.
