The Chinese nation has created a globally recognized splendid culture and brilliant achievements during the agricultural era, becoming the only uninterrupted civilization among the four major civilizations in the world, showcasing the profound heritage, resilient character, and enduring vitality of Chinese civilization. This vitality stems from the outstanding continuity and innovation of Chinese civilization. Throughout the long and never-ending history of the development of Chinese civilization, we deeply feel the historical resilience and perseverance of the Chinese civilization, which has gone through vicissitudes and is constantly evolving; Through the magnificent and profound ancient Chinese classics, we deeply feel the depth and beauty of the rich and profound philosophical relics of our ancestors; Appreciating the unique and exquisite traditional Chinese craftsmanship, we deeply feel the design ingenuity and innovative craftsmanship inherent in the creation of simple, immature, and exquisite objects; Through contemplating the daily customs and aesthetics of Chinese people with strong emotions and vibrant life, we deeply feel the wisdom and vitality of traditional society with profound human relationships and orderly etiquette. With such a profound and extensive excellent cultural tradition and ancient civilization, the cultural construction of the new era has a solid foundation, and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation has a profound foundation to support it.
The outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization benefits not only from excellent cultural genes, but also from the innovative and dynamic wisdom of civilization. The continuity of Chinese civilization is not a continuation of imitation and repetition, but a continuation of keeping up with the times and innovating and developing. The great creation of Chinese civilization has evolved through innovation - from pottery from the Banpo site, to terracotta warriors from the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty's Three Colors; From the porcelain firing at the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the gradual maturity of Han and Tang porcelain, and then to the exquisite and elegant blue and white porcelain of the Ru kiln and Yuan dynasty in the Song dynasty; From the ancient and simple jade cong of the Liangzhu culture in the Neolithic Age, to the exquisite golden thread jade clothing of the Han Dynasty, to the exquisite life jade of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the exquisite jade carving art of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the creative culture of each dynasty has been constantly improving and inheriting, showcasing the Eastern civilization and the charm of China. The great spirit of Chinese civilization shines brightly in innovation - from the ritual and music culture of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to the dance and music of the Han and Tang dynasties; From the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, to Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, and then to Yuan Qu, Ming, and Qing Dynasty novels; From the historical evolution of calligraphy, seal script, clerical script, regular script, calligraphy, and cursive script, to the inheritance and transformation of meticulous realistic painting and ink opera freehand brushwork, literature and art throughout history have all developed through innovation and inheritance, continuously embellishing the artistic palace of Chinese civilization. Until modern times, in the modern transformation of traditional culture, this continuity has never been interrupted. Instead, in the process of transformation and innovation, it not only maintains the national characteristics of culture and aesthetics, but also develops modern culture that meets the needs of modern society, gradually forming a vibrant and modernized cultural form. In the face of the new era and new cultural mission, we need to deeply explore the essence and development laws of traditional culture, strengthen the inheritance and development of excellent cultural genes, and make the pulse of Chinese civilization continue to flourish.

Chinese civilization is a brilliant flower in the history of human civilization development, and its never-ending vitality also comes from its unity and inclusiveness. The development of Chinese civilization is not smooth sailing, but has gone through difficulties and accumulated rich experience in governance through exploration and development. This is not only due to the traditional cultural wisdom of "observing the present and learning from the past, no ancient can achieve the present", but also to the integrated culture of various ethnic groups, as well as the common belief in national unity and ethnic unity. This unity is not closed or rigid, but a fusion of openness and inclusiveness, adhering to a historical orientation of communication, exchange, and integration on the basis of unity, and an open mind of embracing world civilization. Unity provides a stable foundation for cultural exchange and mutual learning, while inclusivity injects abundant vitality into unity. In the construction of the institutional form of modern civilization, we not only inherit, promote, innovate and develop the wisdom of ancient Chinese governance ideas, but also actively learn from and incorporate the advanced modernization experiences of countries around the world. "The reason why a country is a country is that it has its people." In the institutional exploration of the modernization process, the CPC led the Chinese people through twists and turns and difficult exploration, walked out a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics in line with its own national conditions, and successfully opened up a Chinese path to modernization. The CPC adheres to the people centered position and feelings, echoes the people's expectations for common prosperity, and is committed to achieving common prosperity for all people. "Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me." Chinese path to modernization has embarked on a path that respects the laws of nature and conforms to the trend of green development. Adhering to the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", it observes the construction of ecological civilization with a holistic thinking, integrates the concept of taking the people as the center into ecological thinking, and reflects the new connotation and broad vision of people-oriented. The CPC not only focuses on the steady progress of Chinese path to modernization and creates a new prospect of modern construction, but also carries forward the common values of all mankind and promotes the construction of a community of shared future for mankind with a broad mind of the world.
In the long river of history, people of all ethnic groups have jointly created a rich and colorful Chinese culture, forged a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation, and gathered a strong spiritual force that is constantly growing, united and advancing. The Chinese nation maintains a grand pattern and an open mind, draws on and absorbs the achievements of the world's outstanding civilizations in the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations, constantly demonstrates new vitality in enriching the people's spiritual world and creating a cultural form of Chinese path to modernization, and endows the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with a deep foundation. In the face of the new era and new cultural mission, we must base ourselves on high-quality cultural development, carry forward the precious spirit and values of excellent traditional Chinese culture, establish a lofty aspiration to create cultural masterpieces of the times and pass them down to the world, promote cultural inheritance and innovation with high quality, provide cultural services and products with high standards, and make the flower of Chinese civilization more brilliant and prosperous.

The history of human civilization shows that peace is a prerequisite for the development of civilization. The Chinese civilization has been able to continue for thousands of years without interruption, thanks to its outstanding peaceful nature. Throughout history, China has continuously pursued cultural exchange and mutual learning, avoiding bullying the weak and seeking hegemony; Adhering to the cultural tradition of advocating peace, we have formed values that advocate for neighborly friendship, win-win cooperation, and harmonious coexistence. Today, China's adherence to the path of peaceful development is an inheritance and promotion of the cultural traditions of peace, harmony, and harmony of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people not only hope for their own happiness and health, but also pray for a better life for people from all countries. "Peaceful nature" fundamentally determines that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a maintainer of international order. Together with people from all over the world, it promotes the wheel of history towards a bright future.
The haze of war can dim the light of civilization, and ideological rigidity can cause the light of civilization to fade. Building modern civilization of the Chinese nation requires continuous liberation of the mind and keeping pace with the times. Building on the profound foundation of over 5000 years of Chinese civilization, we have opened up and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and excellent traditional Chinese culture. This is the greatest weapon for our success and the historical essence that the light of Chinese civilization will forever shine upon. The combination of the two has opened up innovative space for us, enabling us to grasp the initiative of thinking and culture, and providing fundamental guarantees for creating an innovative culture that belongs to our era. The second combination is another ideological liberation, allowing us to fully utilize the precious resources of excellent traditional Chinese culture in a broader cultural space, and explore future oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
"If Wenquna is so clear, there will be a source of fresh water." The successful creation of Chinese path to modernization benefits from the sinicization of Marxism and the contemporary application of Chinese cultural wisdom. Modern times have come from tradition and have emerged from history. There are many important elements in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, which together shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization. These prominent characteristics inherently influence the material representation, institutional form, and spiritual pursuit of civilization. Deeply exploring the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, inheriting and developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and clarifying the unique spiritual pursuit, cultural wisdom and way of thinking of our nation are conducive to a deeper understanding of the essence of traditional culture. To build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to cultivate the flower of civilization in the fertile soil of Chinese culture, rooted in excellent cultural traditions for modernity construction, and to reshape culture from the internal structure of civilization. In the face of the new era and new cultural mission, we must strengthen cultural confidence, uphold openness and inclusiveness, based on the great historical and contemporary practices of the Chinese nation, adhere to the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, continue the historical context, and compose a contemporary chapter.
