Understanding and Grasping Chinese path to modernization from Three Dimensions
How to treat the history of our country? How to treat our country's traditional culture? This is a problem that any country must solve well in the process of modernization.
In the long historical process, the Chinese nation, with the determination and will to strive for self-improvement, has gone through a development process that is different from other civilizations in the world. From the horizontal and vertical Chinese characters, from the thoughts of Confucius, Mencius, and Laozi, and from the examples of the collection of classics and histories... we constantly understand that the Chinese nation is a nation with unique character, and Chinese civilization is a civilization with its own system.
The unique cultural traditions, historical destiny, and basic national conditions determine that the Chinese nation must inevitably take a path that suits its own characteristics. In the arduous pursuit of modernization, our Party adhered to the "two combinations" and led the people to successfully walk out of the path of Chinese path to modernization. The reason why Chinese path to modernization is called "China" is that it is rooted in China, nourished by Chinese civilization, consistent with Chinese reality, and ultimately chosen by the Chinese people.

Chinese path to modernization is deeply rooted in China's excellent traditional culture. The idea of "the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid, and the country is peaceful" is consistent with "modernization with a huge population"; The concept of "the way of governance starts with enriching the people" is integrated with the modernization of "common prosperity for all people"; The pursuit of "knowing etiquette through solid granaries, and knowing honor and disgrace through sufficient clothing and food" provides value support for achieving modernization that coordinates material and spiritual civilization; The wisdom of "heaven and earth coexisting with me, and all things being one with me" is transformed into an unremitting pursuit of "modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature"; The Chinese nation is committed to the modernization of pursuing a path of peaceful development, while inheriting the spirit of "being kind to neighbors and a treasure of the country". It can be seen that Chinese path to modernization is the modernization of continuing the ancient civilization, rather than the modernization of eliminating the ancient civilization.
Each country has its own unique characteristics. China is a super large country with a vast land space, a long historical depth, a huge population, a huge economic size, and a huge domestic market; It is an independent socialist country, taking the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, holding the ideological banner of Marxism, the highest political leadership is the CPC, and the ultimate goal is to achieve communism; It is an ancient civilization with a continuous stream of profound cultural heritage, a thousand year long cultural heritage, harmonious integration of diverse ethnic groups, peaceful coexistence of diverse religions, and unique language and customs... These characteristics determine that China can only explore a modernization path that suits itself based on its actual situation on the land of China. Chinese path to modernization is a kind of modernization that grows out of China, not copying the modernization of other countries.
Chinese path to modernization is a new form of human civilization, but it is not to abandon the Chinese civilization and start afresh, but to gradually create, promote and expand in the process of Chinese civilization from obscurity to renewal, and the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture; It is not about rejecting Western civilization and being complacent, but actively drawing on and absorbing all the excellent achievements of human civilization, abandoning the shortcomings of Western modernization, achieving transcendence over Western modernization, representing the direction of human civilization progress, and making the world's civilization garden colorful and vibrant. Chinese path to modernization is the result of civilization renewal, not the product of civilization rupture.
The rise of all countries and nations is guided and based on cultural innovation and civilization progress. Contemporary China is undergoing the most extensive and profound social transformation in its history, and is also undergoing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history. This is not Feilai Peak, but the long river of Chinese civilization has advanced to the crossroads of modernization. "Although Zhou was an old state, his life was renewed." Chinese path to modernization is the new life of the old state of the Chinese nation and will certainly promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.
