【 Li Xiang China 】 Building a Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation through Adherence to Righteousness and Innovation | Era | The Chinese Nation

On June 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the symposium on cultural heritage and development. This is a far-reaching Marxist programmatic document. It is a comprehensive summary and deepening of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of expositions on cultural construction since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and clearly puts forward the new cultural mission of the new era.

In his speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must adhere to integrity and innovation, and continue the historical context and compose the contemporary chapter with the integrity and vigor of integrity and innovation." The speech shines with the "Chinese wisdom" of keeping the integrity and innovation, keeping the integrity of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and creating a new era of Marxism in China. Find the law, keep the right path, and seek innovation, and continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the process of keeping the right and innovation.

Keeping the integrity of Chinese excellent traditional culture

"The excellent Chinese traditional culture created and continued by the Chinese nation in thousands of years of history is the root and soul of the Chinese nation." The cultural roots of the Chinese nation are the ideological concepts, humanistic spirit and ethics contained in the excellent traditional Chinese culture. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "Chinese excellent traditional culture has a long history, broad and profound, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization. It contains the world for the public, the people for the country, the government with morality, the innovation, the appointment of people on the basis of virtue, the unity of man and nature, continuous self-improvement, moral cultivation, kindness and good neighborliness, etc. It is an important embodiment of the Chinese people in the long production and life, it is highly compatible with the scientific socialist values."

The proposal of "fit" reflects the high historical consciousness and firm cultural self-confidence of the Chinese Communists. Historical consciousness is the cornerstone of cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence comes from the high recognition of national and national history, the correct understanding of the present and the scientific cognition of the future. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the cultural inheritance and development symposium: "Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have different sources, but they are highly compatible with each other." This is the further enrichment and development of Marxist cultural theory, and has made an important theoretical contribution to the modernization of Marxism in China.

Chinese civilization is the unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, formed in the course of development different from other cultures in the world, and is the foundation of Chinese characteristics. On March 22, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping said during an inspection tour in Zhu Xiyuan, Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, that if there were no 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, where would there be any Chinese characteristics? If not, how could there be such a successful path of socialism with Chinese characteristics as we are today. Millions of years of human history, 10,000 years of cultural history, and more than 5,000 years of civilization have formed the unique value system, cultural connotation and spiritual quality of the Chinese people's view of the world, society, and life. "This is our The fundamental feature that distinguishes other countries and nations has also created the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation to understand others' strengths", this fundamentally determines that the promotion of cultural self-confidence and self-improvement must, must, and must take its own path.

Keeping the excellent traditional Chinese culture is a prominent continuity in Chinese civilization. On October 28, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during an inspection of the Yinxu site in Anyang, Henan: "Chinese civilization has a long history and has never been interrupted. It has shaped our great nation, and this nation will continue to be great." At the same time, he stressed: "the excellent traditional Chinese culture is the 'root' of our party's innovative theory, and the fundamental way for us to promote the Sinicization of Marxism is the 'combination of the two '." Chinese civilization is the only uninterrupted civilization in the world. The outstanding continuity determines that the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation must be upright and innovative on the basis of inheriting and developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture. No matter what difficulties and obstacles are encountered, we must not change the "track" to "Tao".

Creating a New Era of Marxism in China

The establishment of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era has realized a new leap in the modernization of Marxism in China, and provided a fundamental follow for the development of the cause of the party and the state in the new era. Having the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the foundation of our party's firm belief and belief and grasping the historical initiative. It adheres to the use of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, combines the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, and promotes the modernization of Marxism in China is a process of pursuing truth, revealing truth and practicing truth. Only in this way can we correctly answer the major questions raised by the times and practice, and can we always maintain the vigor and vitality of Marxism.

The construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation should focus on creating a new culture that belongs to our time. On September 24, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the International Academic Symposium to commemorate the 2565 anniversary of the birth of Confucius and the opening meeting of the Fifth General Assembly of the International Federation of Confucianism: "Traditional culture will inevitably be affected at that time. The constraints and influences of people's level of understanding, the conditions of the times, and the limitations of the social system, so it is inevitable that there will be things that are outdated or have become dross. This requires people to persist in making the past serve the present, push through the old and bring forth the new when studying, researching, and applying traditional culture, and make correct choices in the light of new practices and the requirements of the times, instead of using it all today. We should adhere to the principle of making the past serve the present, learn from the past and the present, adhere to the treatment of identification and inheritance of sublation. We should not make efforts to realize the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture, make it integrate with the real culture, and jointly serve the task of the times of cultural people."

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the forum on cultural inheritance and development: "the outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation to be upright and not conservative, to respect the ancient and not to restore the ancient, and to determine the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and has the courage to accept new things." The Chinese nation is full of the spirit of change and openness, and has outstanding inclusiveness. In the history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, change and opening up are generally the historical norm. Chinese civilization and other cultures in the world have regular communication and interaction in terms of species and technology, resources and people, ideas and culture. They have achieved development and progress in exchanges and integration, and constantly coruscate new vitality through mutual learning among civilizations.

The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture is our party's profound summary of the historical experience of the modernization of Marxism in China, and a profound grasp of the law of the development of Chinese civilization. It shows that our party's understanding of China's road, theory and system has reached a new height; it shows that our party's historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height; it shows that our party's consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height. The Chinese Communists in the new era must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, seeking truth and being pragmatic, proceeding from reality, and using the Marxist scientific world outlook and methodology to solve the practical problems of reform and opening up and socialist modernization in the new era. Answer the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times, make correct answers that meet the requirements of China's reality and the times, and draw a scientific understanding that conforms to objective laws, and form theoretical achievements that advance with the times, better guide china's practice, and let marxism firmly take root in china.

In the final analysis, we must strengthen cultural confidence." To promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, it is necessary to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture, deeply plant historical roots, enrich spiritual nourishment, and strengthen the common belief that the land is inseparable, the country is inseparable, the nation is inseparable, and the civilization is inseparable.

At present, mankind is facing unprecedented risks and challenges in the midst of unprecedented changes in the world.
