Qiushi.com commentator: Deeply understand that Chinese path to modernization is a "modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated"
"It is the lofty pursuit of Chinese path to modernization to be both material and spiritual."
Chinese path to modernization is a kind of modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated.
A person without spirit will not stand, and a country without spirit will not be strong. To achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it requires the great development of both material civilization and spiritual civilization. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, our party creatively established the strategic policy of "grasping both material civilization and spiritual civilization with both hands and being firm".
The early modernization of the West was characterized by both the accumulation of wealth and the loss of faith and the rampant materialism. Today, Western countries are increasingly facing difficulties, one important reason being their inability to curb the greed of capital and solve chronic problems such as materialism inflation and spiritual poverty. In promoting modernization construction, we not only emphasize the liberation and development of social productive forces and the promotion of sustained and rapid economic growth, but also believe that spiritual civilization is an essential part of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
In the important article "Chinese path to modernization is the road to building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation", the General Secretary further pointed out that "Chinese path to modernization requires great material wealth as well as spiritual wealth, self-confidence and self-improvement in ideology and culture", and made clear requirements from two aspects. On the one hand, we must adhere to two pronged approach and two pronged approach, promote the coordination and mutual promotion of material civilization and spiritual civilization, and ensure that all people always have the ideological foundation of unity and struggle, the proactive spirit of exploration and progress, and the pursuit of healthy and upward values; On the other hand, we must respond to the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, strengthen education on ideals and beliefs, and promote the propaganda and education of the "Four Histories", cultivate and promote the core socialist values, develop socialist advanced culture, release more excellent literary and artistic works, continuously enrich the people's spiritual world, improve the level of civilization of the whole society, and promote the comprehensive development of people
