Wang said historic achievements in raising cultural-ethical standards during the past five years should be attributed to the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core and to the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

To promote socialist cultural-ethical development in the new era, studying and implementing the essence of the 19th CPC National Congress is a primary political task, and the most important task is to study and publicize Xi's thought, said Wang, who is also head of the Central Commission for Guiding Cultural and Ethical Progress.

At the ceremony, a number of cities, counties, villages, organizations and schools were also given credit for their contributions to cultural-ethical advancement.
