ABSTRACT: Marxism was not only a set
of philosophical theory but also the ideology of the Party. The Sinicization of
Marxism was a process in which the abstract principles of Marxism became the guiding ideology of the CPC under the
specific practical environment of China. The Sinicization of Marxism was based
on the combination of Marxism and the Party, the Chinese people, as well as that
of Marxism and the revolutionary practice in China. In this process, political
ritual as a part of the Party’s ideology played an important role. And the
practical experience of political ritual in the period of the new democratic
revolution could give
some inspiration to current and future ideological work.
