At a new historical starting point, vigorously promoting cultural prosperity, building a strong cultural nation, and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation are the new cultural missions of the new era.Combining the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture can promote Marxism to become "Chinese" in terms of Marxism; In terms of excellent traditional Chinese culture, it can promote it to become "modern", thereby better building modern civilization of the Chinese nation and creating new forms of human civilization. Based on this, it is necessary to deeply understand the historical and overall significance of "combining the basic principles of Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture" from the perspective of human civilization, the innovative development of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture, the breadth of Chinese path to modernization, and the long-term perspective of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent Chinese traditional culture has far-reaching significance in the history of human civilization.

The evolution of human civilization can be understood not only from the perspective of production organization, such as agricultural civilization, industrial civilization, information civilization, etc., but also from the perspective of cultural development, such as Confucian civilization, Christian civilization, Islamic civilization and so on. From a cultural point of view, human civilization always gets new development and creates new forms in the process of multicultural agitation and integration. In past times, wealth, power, religion and other factors have contributed to the turbulent renewal of different ancient civilizations around the world, and modern science and technology has greatly promoted the integration of cultures around the world. Throughout the whole history of human civilization, the integration and innovation of diverse cultures is one of the driving forces to promote the development of civilization. The basic principle of Marxism is a scientific theory that has been developing continuously with the reform of social production since modern times, and the excellent Chinese traditional culture is the historical essence of the long-standing Chinese civilization, and the two are highly compatible and deeply combined. It means that the tradition of ancient civilization is activated by modern scientific theory, and scientific theory has become a vivid practice in the Chinese civilization with a long history. As a new form of human civilization, the road of Chinese-style modernization and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics are the products of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture, which are not only the continuation and inheritance of Chinese civilization, but also the integration and creation of Chinese modern civilization and world modern civilization under the guidance of Marxism. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation, which is created by combining the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, means the joint and innovation of ancient civilization and modern civilization in the land of China. It is the systematic response of contemporary Chinese to the "debate between China and the West" in the world since modern times, and not only shows the historical inevitability of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is also a major promotion for the comprehensive innovation of world civilization composed of diverse cultures, which is of great historical significance in the whole history of human civilization.

The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent Chinese traditional culture means the self-renewal and integrated development of the two traditions.

Since its inception, the basic principles of Marxism, as a scientific theory, has taken "overthrowing the old world and creating a new world" as its historical mission. Adhering to this historical mission, Marxism has formed the theoretical quality of keeping pace with the times and formed the spiritual tradition of self-innovation. Historically, marked by the publication of the Manifesto of the Communist Party, the development history of Marxism for more than 170 years is an evolutionary process of constantly summing up new experiences in the development of social practice and absorbing useful achievements of human civilization. In theory, we continue to learn from new resources, expand new horizons, and make new generalizations. On the other hand, the excellent Chinese traditional culture has always adhered to the innovative tradition of "living the new, being new every day, and being new day by day". "although Zhou is an old state, its life is reformed", and "the six Classics blame me for creating a new face". In the more than 5,000-year history of the development of Chinese civilization, Chinese culture has always achieved its own innovation in the trend of social change and in the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations. Although the development of Chinese culture has twists and turns from time to time, it has never been resting on its laurels, rigid and isolated, but has always maintained the inexhaustible will of self-improvement and self-renewal. The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent Chinese traditional culture has further opened up room for innovation for both in the new era. This combination means the deep blending of the two traditions of continuous pursuit of renewal and development, and Marxism provides modern guidance for the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent Chinese traditional culture. Chinese excellent traditional culture provides the foundation of Sinicization for the innovative development of Marxism. The modern cultural form of Chinese style formed by the combination and combination of modernity theory and traditional culture can not only adapt to the new era, deal with new challenges and solve new problems, but also form new theories, open up new roads and create new civilizations. in this process, it will also deduce the rich ideological and cultural traditions of the new era, and then play a role in the innovation and development of roads, theories and systems.

The domain of combining the basic principles of Marxism with excellent Chinese traditional culture is the omni-directional cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which points to the new form of human civilization.

In a broad sense, culture is the sum total of human beings' understanding and transformation of nature, society and human activities, processes and achievements, and it is a variety of human creations on the basis of social practice. In this regard, the inheritance and development of excellent Chinese traditional culture is not only a narrow "spiritual" cause, but also the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture is not limited to the narrow field of "culture". But runs through the omni-directional cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. As we all know, the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is called the "five-in-one", including economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction. Chinese-style modernization is also the modernization of economy, politics, culture, society and ecology. Chinese-style modernization of economy, politics, culture, society and ecology will jointly forge the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Therefore, it is necessary for us to look at "the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent Chinese traditional culture" from the overall perspective of the "five-in-one" of economy, politics, culture, society and ecology. that is, under the guidance of the scientific theory of the basic principles of Marxism, we should absorb theoretical wisdom, reflect on historical experience, enhance cultural self-confidence, and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovation from Chinese excellent traditional culture. And use it to promote economic development, political stability, perfect governance, protection of people's livelihood, cultural prosperity and ecological beauty, and create a new form of human civilization on the road of Chinese-style modernization. In this regard, the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with excellent Chinese traditional culture is not only aimed at cultural undertakings, but also an ideological guide to guide the overall work, and its direction is to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation as a whole.

In his speech at the meeting commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Marx's birth, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Marxism is broad and profound, and in the final analysis, it is a sentence to seek the liberation of mankind." The excellent Chinese traditional culture pursues "establishing lives for the people and opening peace for all ages", advocates "giving benefits to the people" and "Kangji group students", and conceives that the world is an ideal society in which the people share, the world is benevolent, the people are in harmony, and all things are one. Take the great harmony of the world as the highest realm. In the new era, the deep combination of the two great traditions with a human destiny will better promote the realization of the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. In this sense, adhering to the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with excellent Chinese traditional culture is not only a modern nation-state cause in the sense of China, but also embodies the worldwide ambition of all mankind. From the perspective of the tradition of Chinese culture, the next step in the fine development of the country is the great harmony of the world. It is said in the "University" that "self-cultivation and governing the country together", and the peace of the world and the peace of the world are the logical necessity after the realization of national governance. therefore, exchanges and mutual learning facing world civilization constitute the necessary meaning in the topic of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

At the same time, we should also oppose cultural hegemonism, "theory of superiority of civilization", "theory of conflict of civilizations" and other erroneous trends of thought, and firmly be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind through exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. To this end, we should carry forward the fine tradition of exchanges and exchanges contained in Chinese civilization, continue to learn the useful achievements of world civilization and keep in mind the world, go to the world, and integrate into the world. We will further innovate and develop Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture in the process of mutual learning among civilizations, international exchanges, and world interconnection.

In his important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that Chinese civilization has five outstanding characteristics, such as continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace, which summarizes the characteristics of Chinese civilization from the perspective of the development of the times. it has pointed out the direction for the further promotion of the "second combination." At present, promoting the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with excellent Chinese traditional culture and further promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent Chinese traditional culture requires us to carry forward the "five outstanding characteristics" of Chinese civilization. specifically, we must adhere to the Marxist stand and methods, comprehensively and thoroughly study the historical foundation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and scientifically explain the context of the continuity of Chinese civilization. An in-depth explanation of the historical inevitability of the Chinese nation to "go its own way" We must vigorously carry forward the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation in being upright and unconservative, respecting the past and not going back to the past, give full play to the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and have the courage to accept new things, and keep pace with the times to excavate and carry forward the contemporary value of China's excellent traditional culture. comply with the historical trend of scientific and technological revolution and social innovation, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

We must constantly expand the world vision of the inheritance and innovation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, expand the exchanges and mutual learning of civilizations around the world, and be good at drawing lessons from and absorbing more excellent foreign cultures and the quintessence of world civilization. at the same time, on the basis of sharpening each other, we must be able to explain and spread Chinese civilization to the world and actively participate in the "worldwide contention of a hundred schools of thought". We must show the value of Chinese civilization for peace in worldwide cultural exchanges, and explain the historical significance of Chinese civilization in building world peace, promoting global development and maintaining international order from the perspective of all human civilization. promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind through cooperation and exchanges.
