The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the actual realities of China is the first combination, which inherently contains the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture, namely the “Second Combination”. The “Second Combination” is an important topic proposed in the specific historical context of current era. The “Two Combinations” are a fact already, and the success of Marxism in China answers the possibility of two combinations from a practical perspective. However, the questions of why the two combinations are necessary, how they are possible, how they can be achieved, and where their significance lies still need to be explained from a theoretical perspective. Thoroughly sorting out the basic issues involved in the “Two Combinations” ideology and demonstrating the theoretical logic contained therein is of great significance for deeply grasping the “Two Combinations” ideology and further promoting the theoretical innovation of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times.
