Why has "awakened" the traditional Chinese genes in the bodies of young people? Chinese civilization | culture | tradition
He particularly pointed out that if we do not understand China from the perspective of its long-standing historical continuity, it is impossible to understand ancient China, modern China, and even future China.
Why are many ancient civilizations in the world gradually disappearing, and only Chinese civilization continues to exist? Opening the magnificent annals of history, we can see the persistence of "pursuing the ultimate knowledge of the sage" and the courage of "although millions of people go, I will continue to go.". Generation after generation of ancestors, one after another, have created the splendid historical context of the Chinese nation and shaped the indomitable spiritual character of the Chinese nation.
In recent years, with the increasing efforts of the country and society to excavate, protect, and utilize traditional Chinese culture, we have seen that Chinese civilization is crossing the clouds of history and demonstrating unparalleled and magnificent charm, thus forming a "return effect" of traditional culture. For example, film and television programs promoting traditional history and culture continue to emerge, attracting many young audiences; Museums across the country are becoming a must visit check-in point for people traveling; More and more young people are feeling the charm of Chinese clothing and confidently wearing various traditional costumes on the streets of cities; Many young people have fallen in love with qin, qi, calligraphy and painting, antique seal carving, Beijing opera and Kunqu opera, and all these "national styles" have aroused their great interest; More enthusiasts spontaneously form various interest groups to jointly study and spread the charm of traditional culture. A young man smiled and said, "I feel like the traditional Chinese genes in my body have been 'awakened'."
The reason why the Chinese civilization, which has lasted for five thousand years, can be rediscovered and loved in contemporary times is due to the innovative evolution of culture. Looking back at the wilderness of history, the truly vibrant culture is not a sculpture relic full of spider webs, but a constantly flowing water that constantly changes and adapts to new practical development needs in the evolution of the times. In the process of reform and rejuvenation, "new destiny" lies in the "old state", and culture endows itself with new development momentum, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible for the times.
This has enlightening significance for us to do a good job in current cultural construction work. On the one hand, it is necessary to rescue and protect traditional culture that is on the brink of extinction, and not let "unique learning" become a "swan song". A series of major engineering projects such as the National Version Museum of China and "Archaeological China" that have made great contributions in contemporary times and will benefit the future are here. On the other hand, traditional culture should not be trapped in warehouses or turned into "bonsai". Instead, resources should be opened up and widely utilized, allowing more people to conduct research and excavation based on this, unveiling the veil of excellent traditional Chinese culture for the public, integrating it into daily life and the present, and becoming an important component of contemporary culture.
When it comes to cultural innovation, it not only focuses on cultural construction itself, but also concerns the nation and its path, as well as the foundation and destiny of the country. From a more profound perspective, the revival and inheritance of traditional culture in contemporary times have provided sufficient historical and cultural resources for a generation of young people to face the world, and have also recalibrated the coordinates and directions of history for individuals and nations. It is not only a profound response to the life philosophy style of "who am I", "where do I come from", and "where am I going", but also a solemn answer to the question of the era of "why China" in the magnificent China.
In contemporary China, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and excellent traditional Chinese culture is itself an innovation.More importantly, the "second combination" is another ideological liberation, allowing us to fully utilize the precious resources of excellent traditional Chinese culture in a broader cultural space, and explore future oriented theoretical and institutional innovations.
Where we know, we know where we go. Today's China has reason, ability, and confidence to achieve the integration of contemporary and traditional culture, creating an organic and unified new cultural life form, and creating a new culture that belongs to our era.
