Composing a Contemporary Chapter, People's Daily Review: Continuing the Starting Point of Historical Context | Culture | History
Culture is related to the foundation and destiny of a country.
Only by understanding Chinese civilization can we understand China. On the vertical axis of the long river of history, the unique and profound Chinese culture has provided strong spiritual support for the Chinese nation to overcome difficulties and thrive. Only by comprehensively and deeply understanding the history of Chinese civilization, adhering to the position of Chinese culture, inheriting the genes of Chinese culture, and more effectively promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture, can we continue the historical context, compose a contemporary chapter, and continuously forge new brilliance in Chinese culture.
The Chinese nation is known for its cultural confidence. To continue promoting cultural prosperity, building a strong cultural nation, and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, we must first strengthen cultural confidence. The "Palace Museum Run", "Cultural and Creative Heat", and "Intangible Cultural Heritage Heat" have witnessed the continuous heating up of China's excellent traditional culture. Domestic films and TV dramas have achieved both economic and social benefits, and historical and cultural heritage has injected new temperament and momentum into urban development. Counting the achievements of cultural construction in the great changes of the new era, cultural confidence is a prominent symbol. Based on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, summarizing Chinese experience with Chinese principles, and elevating Chinese experience into Chinese theory, we will surely enable the cultural consciousness and cultural confidence of the new era to flow smoothly and have a long history, continuously achieving spiritual independence and autonomy.
Civilization is colorful through communication, and enriched through mutual learning. To continue promoting cultural prosperity, building a strong cultural nation, and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, we must uphold openness and inclusiveness. From Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty to the arrival of thousands of states in the Tang Dynasty, and then to the widespread overseas trade during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Chinese civilization has been known for its openness and inclusiveness since ancient times. Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture have different sources, but they have a high degree of compatibility with each other. Our party insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and excellent traditional Chinese culture, making Marxism Chinese and excellent traditional Chinese culture modern, creating a cultural form of Chinese path to modernization. Only by adhering to the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, inheriting and developing excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promoting the localization of foreign cultures, can we continuously cultivate and create socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Adhering to integrity is the key to grasping direction, and innovation is the key to leading the times. To continue promoting cultural prosperity, building a strong cultural nation, and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, we must adhere to upholding integrity and innovation. On the one hand, we must adhere to our own path, adhere to the "two combinations", combine the promotion of excellent traditional culture with the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint, and method, treat science with a scientific attitude, and pursue truth with the spirit of truth; On the other hand, based on the characteristics of the times and the needs of the people, we should do a good job in the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and promote the cultural spirit that transcends time and space, transcends the country, is full of eternal charm, and has contemporary value. Stimulate the spirit of upholding integrity and innovation, promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization, and contribute to the present and benefit the future.
The Chinese cultural heritage of string songs never stops, and the flame of Chinese civilization is passed down from generation to generation. To comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization, the status and role of culture cannot be replaced. Continuing the historical context, composing contemporary chapters, and achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can gain unstoppable and magnificent spiritual power.
