To cultivate and practice core socialist values in the new era, we need to understand fully their intrinsic characteristics. We need to be guided by Marxist epistemology to understand their epistemological sources so that we can understand their intrinsic historical meanings, to understand their dynamic and creative nature so that we can understand its intrinsic cultural structures, to understand our cognition goal so that we can understand their intrinsic theoretical values. By such endeavors, we can increase our confidence and self-consciousness in cultivation and practice of core socialist values and get them integrated into our daily lives and accepted as our subconscious identification and habit.
