The original brand column "Workshop" of Xinhua News Agency's "Learning in Progress" has launched a series of reports to learn together with you.

On June 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the cultural inheritance and development symposium, putting forward the major era topic of "building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation", indicating our new cultural mission in the new era.

In order to hold this forum well, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the National Edition Hall of China and the Chinese Academy of History successively.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the construction of the China National Edition Museum is a project that I am very concerned about and personally approved. The original purpose is to collect and protect all the ancient books and materials that can be collected since ancient times at this stage of our history, so as to make the world the only one without interruption. The interrupted civilization continues to be passed on.

The General Secretary has repeatedly mentioned the term "cultivating literature in a prosperous era". Behind this grand wish lies a deep sense of patriotism and national sentiment.

The Chinese nation has gone through more than 5000 years of ups and downs. Compiling history, establishing classics, and continuing cultural heritage has been regarded as a magnificent undertaking for the benefit of generations since ancient times, and it is also the long-standing wish of ancient sages and sages.

In ancient traditional societies, ancestors created and compiled magnificent works such as the Yongle Encyclopedia and the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries. However, changes in dynasties, natural disasters, and man-made disasters caused the fate of these classics to fluctuate and sink. Especially in modern history, the country has suffered humiliation, the people have suffered hardships, and civilization has been shrouded in dust. Many precious versions of ancient books have suffered disasters.

However, in every era, there is a group of people who carefully care for Chinese classics, and the Chinese culture is continuous. The spirit of the Chinese nation is passed down from generation to generation.

Our culture is constantly flowing and being passed down, and the treasures left behind must be taken care of and cherished by every means possible. In the future, it will be passed down for five thousand years, not just five thousand years.

When he was working in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally promoted the compilation of "The Complete Works of Song Paintings". Later, this project was extended to the "Chinese Painting Series of All Dynasties", bringing together the masterpieces of paintings that have passed through the millennium and the national treasures scattered around the world.

In May 2014, during his inspection trip to Peking University, he specifically visited the famous philosopher Tang Yijie, had a conversation with him, and was concerned about the compilation of the Confucian Canon.

In September 2022, when the "Renaissance Library" was about to be published, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a preface of more than 1000 words, emphasizing "describing the development of the ancestors and enlightening the struggle of the newcomers".

……

This time at the National Version Hall, General Secretary Xi Jinping said that in our era, the country is prosperous, the society is safe and stable, and we have the will and ability to inherit national culture. We must do this major event well.

At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the research on collection in order to better carry out the collection of classic book versions. On the premise of doing a good job in the main business, assist all parties in researching and excavating versions of historical classics.

Today, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, with historic achievements and changes in the cause of the Party and the state. The realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

Looking at the land of China today, our national strength is thriving.

It can be said that in the new era, we have more confidence and ability than any other period in history to create such a cultural civilization transmission project.

The beautiful vision of cultural seeds being hidden in famous mountains and passed down to future generations is becoming a reality in the new era of China. The new era and new cultural mission of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a strong cultural country, and build modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point will also be achieved.

This great achievement is enough to console our ancestors and benefit future generations.
