Abstract: The "second integration" represents a significant theoretical innovation. In his speech at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, as well as in the Outline for the Study of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, General Secretary Xi Jinping provided authoritative elaborations on this concept, opening up vast intellectual space for scholarly interpretation. The "second integration" carries profound implications: its premise lies in the intrinsic compatibility between Marxism and the fine traditional Chinese culture, while its outcome is the mutual enrichment of the two, culminating in the emergence of a new, organically unified cultural entity. Its importance is reflected in both "breaking" and "establishing." On the one hand, it represents a renewed emancipation of thought; on the other, it reinforces cultural subjectivity. A deeper exploration and interpretation of the "second integration" will enable us to better grasp the essential spirit and core tenets of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture.
