General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, from the perspective of the overall strategy for the development of the party and the country, made a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth exposition of a series of major theoretical and practical issues in the inheritance and development of Chinese culture, and put forward a series of major conclusions. It points out the direction for building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation and a socialist cultural power.

Cultural Confidence Helps to Create a New Form of Human Civilization

Chinese culture has a long history and Chinese civilization is extensive and profound. Based on the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, a new historical position of China's development, only a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the history of Chinese civilization can we more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and more effectively promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics To build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Modern China, which has come from historical China, is not only a country in the pattern of the modern world system, but also an ancient civilization with an uninterrupted history of civilization for more than 5,000 years. This compound feature of both ancient and modern is the strength and courage of the Chinese nation to strengthen its historical and cultural self-confidence in the great changes that have not occurred in the world in a century. In the great changes unseen in the world in a century, the Chinese nation has always been looking at the direction of the leap of human civilization. It not only has the cultural concept of "harmony without difference" and the cultural heritage of "harmony", but also emphasizes "the unity of man and nature" and pays attention to the harmony between man and nature. The ideology of coexistence, but also has a peace-loving cultural gene and a world sentiment.

Throughout the history of the development of human civilization, Chinese civilization, as the only civilization in the world that has not been broken for thousands of years, has been absorbing the advanced achievements of human civilization with an open and inclusive attitude, and has carried out innovation and creation based on its own position. Its "great and lasting way" contains people-oriented thought, unified concept, world consciousness and so on. The cultural innovation of contemporary China is the product of the combination of historical genes and the pulse of the times. It is the result of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture. It is the Chinese Communist Party leading the Chinese nation to explore independently and live up to the times. The ideological creation of the people.

The Chinese nation, which has come from more than 5,000 years of civilization and tradition, is creating and building a modern civilization. We have adhered to and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, promoted the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, embarked on the road of Chinese-style modernization, and created a new form of human civilization. Chinese civilization not only emphasizes the inclusive and equal civilization concept of "carrying things with virtue" and "do not do to others what you do not want to do to others", but also adheres to the spirit of independent exploration of "continuous self-improvement". This spirit is exactly what the leap of human civilization needs in today's era. In fact, only by fully understanding the characteristics and cultural structure of Chinese civilization and the mission of the Chinese nation in the new era can we fully understand the significance of China's rise to the history of human civilization and the significance of Chinese modernization to world history.

Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has taken the construction of a scientific and popular new culture of the Chinese nation as its mission with a high degree of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence. It has inherited and carried forward the broad, profound and brilliant Chinese excellent traditional culture in the course of more than 100 years of struggle, created an exciting revolutionary culture and a vibrant advanced socialist culture, and provided strong spiritual support for national rejuvenation. In 1940, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that "we should not only turn a politically oppressed and economically exploited China into a politically free and economically prosperous China, but also turn a China ruled by the old culture into a civilized and advanced China ruled by the new culture". History and reality show that cultural self-confidence is the foundation for a country and a nation to be self-reliant. Whether there is a high degree of cultural self-confidence not only determines the prosperity and development of the culture itself, but also relates to the rise and fall of the national fortune and the ups and downs of the nation. The Chinese nation has always had the bearing of cultural self-confidence, and it is with this sense of cultural self-confidence and pride that it has formed a profound cultural root and unique cultural advantage, and gained the determination to stick to the right path, the driving force to move forward, and the vitality of change and innovation.

Building modern civilization of the Chinese nation

Injecting Spiritual Power into Promoting Chinese-style Modernization

The "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Party's Major Achievements and Historical Experience in a Century of Struggle" pointed out: "The Party has led the people to successfully embark on the path of Chinese-style modernization, created a new form of human civilization, and expanded the way for developing countries to modernize. Countries and nations that wish to accelerate development while maintaining their own independence provide a new choice." Chinese-style modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that Chinese-style modernization is deeply rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, embodies the advanced nature of scientific socialism, draws on and absorbs all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, represents the development direction of the progress of human civilization, and shows a model different from Western modernization. The new picture is a brand-new form of human civilization. In the perspective of mutual learning of world civilizations, Chinese-style modernization has its roots and ins and outs. It is not a fiction, but has its roots and roots, roots and souls. It is the crystallization of the practical and theoretical innovations that the Chinese Communists have explored hard. The leadership of the party determines the fundamental nature of Chinese-style modernization, which is directly related to the fundamental direction, future and destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It surpasses the Western modernization path in terms of cultural values and civilization concepts. It establishes the banner of socialist culture, promotes socialist civilization, and creates a new form of human civilization.

Looking back at history, for a long period of time, many people simply equated modern civilization with Western civilization and modernization with Westernization. It is obviously wrong to regard modern Western civilization as "advanced civilization" without discrimination. Since entering the new era, the successful exploration of Chinese-style modernization has shown that there is no one-size-fits-all modernization model in the world, and there is no one-size-fits-all modernization standard. The modernization path of each country should be chosen by its own people. It is impossible to succeed by relying on and copying other countries' models. The history of human civilization shows that modernization is not the only one in the West, nor is it the only one in Western Europe to choose from. Chinese-style modernization breaks the myth of "modernization = Westernization" and shows another picture of modernization. Chinese-style modernization is an independent exploration of modernization, and cultural value innovation is the spiritual support for Chinese-style modernization. Cultural prosperity and development not only wins dignity and glory for a nation, but also provides ideological and value support for a nation to choose its own development path. In the world modernization map, the Chinese-style modernization road is neither a simple continuation of the master of our country's history and culture, nor a simple application of the template envisioned by Marxist classic writers, nor a reprint of the socialist practice of other countries, nor a copy of foreign modernization, but Always insist on independence, self-reliance and self-improvement, and insist on putting the development of the country and nation on the basis of their own strength, insist on firmly holding the destiny of our country's development and progress in our own hands.

From the perspective of the value demands of Chinese-style modernization, Chinese-style modernization is not a capitalist modernization road of Western capital expansion, but a new civilization road with the creation of a new form of human civilization and the promotion of socialist ideals. Facing the historical opportunity of the leap of human civilization, we must deeply understand the cultural creation and innovation of the Communist Party of China and the world historical significance of the new form of human civilization created by it.
