Cultural Context | Five Thousand Years and the New Era in Cultural China
On June 2, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development: “Continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point is our new cultural mission in the new era. "
At the just-concluded 20th China International Cultural Industry Expo and Trade Fair, many cultural and creative products and cultural innovation technologies demonstrated the national style, national trend and international style to audiences at home and abroad, highlighting the diverse charm and soft power of Chinese culture. The cultural industry is booming.
Chinese civilization has entered a new era from a history of more than 5,000 years, and has penetrated into every city, every object, and every person. It is created and interpreted by us, and it also affects us in a subtle way.
Across the mountains and rivers, I find a close friend. I meet you thousands of miles away and live in the same robe as my son. The sons and daughters of China resonate with the world in different time and space with the same frequency, inherit civilization in their own beautiful ways, pass on the fire from generation to generation, and educate people with culture.
Looking at the full moon, I feel homesick, the wild geese deliver messages, I climb mountains and sing songs, and I feel full of love by the sea. We use objects to compare and express emotions, hide eternal thoughts in all things in the world, and burst out new inspirations among all things. We also use cultural objects to innovate in the integration of culture and technology.
Looking back at Chang'an, the jade flute in Luocheng, the rain in Lin'an, and the moon falling in Gusu. History and reality are intertwined in ancient cities. While we are picking up memories, we are moving forward with our heads held high, inheriting the thousand-year cultural heritage and forging the soul of the city. From the nine states to the community of the Chinese nation, we will consolidate our roots and build a cultural city.
Inheriting five thousand years of cultural heritage, it is a glorious chapter in the new era. The Chinese nation has millions of years of human history, 10,000 years of cultural history, and more than 5,000 years of civilization history. We start from the profound historical heritage, draw on the wisdom of cultural innovation, and continue to write the story of cultural prosperity. With the confidence of openness and inclusiveness, Chinese civilization innovates in inheritance and develops in innovation, giving Chinese-style modernization inexhaustible spiritual power, inheriting the past and forging ahead, and cultivating China.
