"Intangible cultural heritage+fashion" generates a beautiful economy, "tradition+design" empowers cultural and creative brands, and "culture+technology" radiates new vitality... At the recently held 19th Cultural Expo, a series of youthful, lively, and creative exhibition areas were highly sought after, and many viewers exclaimed, "Traditional culture can still be so beautiful and fun!" Behind this is a group of young people who love traditional culture, innovate and promote traditional culture, injecting new, innovative, and technological elements into traditional culture.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the forum on cultural inheritance and development: "it is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point." Young people are the most energetic and creative group in society. It is an important mission of contemporary youth to give full play to the power of youth and work together to create a new culture that belongs to our era.
Cultural confidence is a more fundamental, broader, and profound confidence, which is the most fundamental, profound, and enduring force in the development of a country or a nation. To create a new culture that belongs to our era, young people must first strengthen their cultural confidence. It is gratifying that more and more young people are falling in love with the excellent traditional Chinese culture nowadays. Pick up the "archaeological artifact" Luoyang shovel and uncover the "archaeological blind box" layer by layer; Boil tea around the stove with three or two friends, raise your glass and drink slowly; Observing and learning in intangible cultural heritage workshops, experiencing old crafts firsthand... Young people find deep resonance in their daily lives of frequent encounters with excellent traditional Chinese culture, feel the charm and vitality of traditional culture, and further enhance their cultural confidence.
At the same time, more and more young people are dedicating themselves to inheriting and developing excellent traditional Chinese culture. From Liu Wenwen, China's first Suona doctor, who amazed the international symphony stage, to Meng Qingyang, a dancer who became popular all over the Internet with "The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting"; From the young people of the Dunhuang Research Institute who have "revived" millennium old art through digital means, to the young workers in the restoration of ancient buildings who have "revitalized" ancient villages, the vast number of young people have shown their youthful charm and contributed their youthful strength in the process of inheriting and developing Chinese culture with love as the foundation and professionalism as the essence.
True cultural confidence is not about being self reliant or blindly exclusionary, but about upholding openness and inclusiveness. In the long historical process, the Chinese civilization has absorbed everything from other cultures, constantly absorbed the essence of foreign cultures, and cultivated a long history and profound Chinese culture. In the new era, Chinese youth have an unprecedented depth and breadth of understanding and integration into the world, and are more rational, inclusive, confident, and self reliant in foreign exchanges and cooperation. Chinese youth should tell Chinese stories on various international stages, participate in global youth affairs governance, and actively promote international cultural exchanges and exchanges. While adhering to the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, inheriting and developing excellent traditional Chinese culture, young people should promote the localization of foreign cultures and continuously cultivate and create socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
True cultural confidence is not about being complacent or simply retro, but about adhering to integrity and innovation. Innovation is the best inheritance, and young people are the most passionate and motivated for innovation. In today's China, the "cultural and museum fever" is booming, and the "cultural and creative trend" is blowing vigorously. The enthusiasm of the people for traditional culture is increasing day by day, calling on the vast number of young people to uphold the spirit of integrity and innovation, continue the historical context, and write a contemporary chapter. Youth should keep up with the times, be brave in innovation, and inject youthful energy and vitality into promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture in practice.
A good wind relies on borrowed force, and it is precisely when setting sail. The vast number of young people consciously shoulder a new cultural mission, strengthen cultural confidence, and strive for success. They will surely contribute their youthful strength to the promotion of modern Chinese civilization and the construction of a socialist cultural power.
