"Every civilization continues the spiritual bloodline of a country and a nation, which needs to be passed on from generation to generation, and more importantly, it needs to keep pace with the times and be brave in innovation."

Through the smoke of history, Chinese civilization has endured thousands of years of ups and downs, and has written a rich and colorful chapter in the annals of human civilization.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly grasped the historical orientation of the new era, put forward a series of new concepts, ideas and strategies for cultural construction with firm cultural consciousness, broad historical vision and far-reaching strategic considerations, leading the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese culture, and promoting the continuous prosperity of Chinese culture and the enduring renewal of Chinese civilization.

Looking at the new era, hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters have sucked the nourishment of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, continued to penetrate the spiritual bloodline of the bone marrow, aroused the profound and vigorous Chinese strength, and made strides in the great journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation with incomparably firm historical and cultural self-confidence.

Foresight, guiding the way forward of Chinese culture

Beijing, east of Tiananmen Square, the National Museum is full of tourists. The basic exhibitions of "Ancient China", "Road to Rejuvenation" and "Road to Rejuvenation - New Era" have become must-see places for people to visit.

In the exhibition hall, the splendid and long-standing history and culture of the Chinese nation intersect with the brilliant achievements of modern China's struggle and development, painting a magnificent scroll of civilization.

In November 2012, it was in the exhibition hall of "The Road to Rejuvenation" that General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled the past and put forward the "Chinese Dream" with deep affection: "I think that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times. ”

Ten years later, in the preface to the large-scale historical document series "Fuxing Wenku", General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly explained the historical context of the "Chinese Dream", emphasizing that "revising history and establishing classics, preserving history and enlightening wisdom, and educating people is a tradition of the Chinese nation that has lasted for thousands of years."

Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Looking back at the historical events, the Communist Party of China, as an active leader and practitioner of China's advanced culture, a faithful inheritor and propagator of China's excellent traditional culture, has carried out cultural creation in practice and creation, and achieved cultural progress in historical progress.

Starting from the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era. Standing at a new historical starting point, how should Chinese Communists continue the thousand-year-old cultural context, carry forward Chinese civilization, and provide strong value guidance, cultural cohesion and spiritual impetus for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream?

With a high degree of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "The excellent traditional Chinese culture nurtured in the development of civilization for more than 5000,<> years, the revolutionary culture and the advanced socialist culture nurtured in the great struggle of the Party and the people, accumulate the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation and represent the unique spiritual mark of the Chinese nation." ”

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of important expositions on the promotion and development of Chinese culture from the strategic perspective of the sustainable inheritance of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization, making major original contributions to the adherence to and development of Marxist cultural theory and pointing out the way forward for building a socialist cultural power.

Grasp the unique positioning of China's excellent traditional culture and firmly guard the cultural roots of the Chinese nation——

The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the spiritual lifeblood of the Chinese nation and a solid foundation for us to stand firm in the turbulence of world culture.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once said affectionately: "Where do we come from? Where are we headed? In China today, I remind myself all the time to have such a sense of history. ”

From Chengde Mountain Resort in Hebei Province to Guangji Bridge in Chaozhou, Guangdong; From the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi, to the Yin Market in Anyang, Henan; From the Xi'an Museum in Shaanxi Province to the Han Dynasty Culture Museum in Beihai, Guangxi... With this deep "sense of history", General Secretary Xi Jinping's "cultural footprints" have spread throughout the country, inspecting cultural heritage and exploring the roots of civilization.

"China has a long history and a broad civilization. The excellent traditional Chinese culture created and continued by the Chinese nation in its thousands of years of history is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. "With the historical self-confidence and strategic sobriety of Marxist politicians, General Secretary Xi Jinping has injected the ideological power of solidifying the foundation and cultivating the soul into the inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture.

Insight into the important role of culture and inject strong spiritual momentum into national rejuvenation——

May 2016, 5, Symposium on Philosophy and Social Science Work.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech: "Strengthening self-confidence in the path, theory and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is, in the final analysis, to strengthen cultural self-confidence, and cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force." ”

By placing cultural self-confidence at an unprecedented height and profoundly revealing the unique characteristics and unique role of Chinese culture, the Chinese Communists in the new era have marked the important role of culture in socialist modernization:

Comprehensively promote the overall layout of the "five-in-one" and coordinate the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and culture is an important content; To promote high-quality development, culture is an important fulcrum; To meet people's growing needs for a better life, culture is an important factor; Culture is an important source of strength to overcome the risks and challenges along the way.

Under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the construction of China's material civilization and spiritual civilization has soared together, the country's material and spiritual strength have been simultaneously enhanced, and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has continued to advance.

Reveal the internal law of cultural inheritance and development, and open up a new realm of cultural development that is honest and innovative, and consolidates the foundation and opens up a new realm——

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between inheritance and creative development, and focus on creative transformation and innovative development.

What is creative transformation? That is, in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of the times, we should transform those connotations and outdated forms of expression that still have reference value, give them new connotations of the times and modern forms of expression, and activate their vitality.

How to innovate development? It is necessary to supplement, expand and improve the connotation of China's excellent traditional culture in accordance with the new progress and progress of the times, and enhance its influence and appeal.

Integrating ancient and modern, connecting China and the world. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has carried forward the great Chinese culture in the magnificent practice, and created a general pattern and atmosphere of learning from the profound tradition and applying the macro and forging ahead into the future.

The long river of civilization flows endlessly, and the waves of ideas are surging.

In the middle of spring 2021, in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to Zhuxi Garden on the bank of Jiuqu Stream.

Looking at the past, General Secretary Xi Jinping sighed with emotion: "If there is no Chinese civilization of 5,000 years, where are there any Chinese characteristics?" If it were not for Chinese characteristics, how could we have such a successful path of socialism with Chinese characteristics today? We should pay special attention to excavating the essence of China's 5,000-year-old civilization, combine the promotion of excellent traditional culture with Marxist standpoints, viewpoints and methods, and unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. ”

Q: Is the canal as clear as promised? For the source of living water comes.

In the hometown of Confucius, he picked up the two books "Confucius Family Language Interpretation" and "Analects of Confucius" on the table, and said "I want to take a closer look at these two books"; Yuelu Academy, gazing at the plaque "Seeking Truth from Facts", pointed out that "we must localize the truth"; In the Sansu Temple, it is emphasized that "we must be good at absorbing the concepts and thinking of governing the country from the excellent traditional Chinese culture"... General Secretary Xi Jinping's personal practice again and again shows his deep thinking about Chinese culture, and also makes us truly feel the source of profound thought.

On July 2021, 7, at the celebration of the 1th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly proposed to insist on integrating the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific conditions and with China's excellent traditional culture.

At the Sixth Plenary Session of the 2021th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in November 11 and the report to the 2022th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 10, General Secretary Xi Jinping further elaborated on the great significance of the "two combinations".

Only by planting the fertile soil of national history and culture can the Marxist tree of truth take deep roots. The proposal of the "two combinations" has profoundly clarified that China's excellent traditional culture is the "root" of our party's innovative theory, further consolidated the historical and cultural foundation of Marxism taking root in China, and constantly endowed it with brand-new vitality.

The significance of thinking lies in responding to historical changes and solving the problems of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping uses history to learn from the political country and integrate the wisdom of Chinese culture into all aspects of governance:

The practice of comprehensively deepening reform shows the mind that "those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek one area"; The new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing contains the wisdom of "self-improvement and innovation" and "Taoism and nature"; Coordinate development and security, and demonstrate the soberness of "the wise prevent disasters before they appear, and the wise seek to suffer in the future"...

Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era draws the essence of humanistic spirit, moral values, historical wisdom and other essences from the accumulation of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, and at the same time gives new era connotation and modern expression forms of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which is worthy of the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit.

Bacon forged the soul and gathered a more active spiritual force for national rejuvenation

What kind of spiritual guidance is needed for the cause of a strong country?

What kind of values do you need to forge the soul in the journey of rejuvenation?

"Both history and reality show that building core values with strong appeal is related to social harmony and stability, and to the long-term peace and stability of the country."

On the afternoon of February 2014, 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 24th collective study of the Politburo of the <>th Central Committee, the theme of which was to cultivate and carry forward the core socialist values and promote the traditional Chinese virtues.

"The people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope." After thousands of years of vicissitudes, what has brought together China's 56 ethnic groups and more than 14.<> billion people is the spiritual pursuit, spiritual characteristics and spiritual vein of the Chinese nation. The core values of socialism are the expression and concentrated embodiment of the Chinese spirit, maintaining the spiritual bond of unity of the contemporary Chinese people.

"Core values are the soul of cultural soft power and the focus of cultural soft power construction. This is the deepest element that determines the nature and direction of culture. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized.

  北京中轴线,恢弘大气,贯通南北,正是连通古今的“文化之脊”——

  中轴线北延长线上,“工”字形建筑中国共产党历史展览馆、外观如“凌空藏宝阁”的中国非物质文化遗产馆、硕大篆书“史”字悬于其上的中国历史研究院,三座北京文化新地标比邻左右、呈鼎足之势。

  一路向北,燕山脚下,中国国家版本馆中央总馆坐落于此,中华文化种子基因“藏之名山、传之后世”。

  滔滔黄河,万古奔流。位于山西最南端的运城,古称“河东”,是中华文明的发源地之一。

  2023年5月16日,习近平总书记考察了运城博物馆。在这里,他又一次将目光投向历史的深处——

  博物馆有很多宝贵文物甚至“国宝”,它们实证了我国百万年的人类史、一万年的文化史、五千多年的文明史,要深入实施中华文明探源工程,把中国文明历史研究引向深入。

  党的十八大以来,习近平总书记以护文明之火种、传永续之文脉的崇高使命感,身体力行探寻中华文化保护传承、守正创新之道。

  2021年3月24日下午,正在福州考察的习近平总书记走进三坊七巷历史文化街区,古城沸腾了。

  “保护好传统街区,保护好古建筑,保护好文物,就是保存了城市的历史和文脉。对待古建筑、老宅子、老街区要有珍爱之心、尊崇之心。”

  言者恳挚,听者动容。

  习近平总书记同这片古老街巷之间,有着一段跨越三十年的守护情缘。

  “一片三坊七巷,半部中国近代史。”福州三坊七巷,是“里坊制度活化石”,见证了千百年的历史变迁。

  上世纪80年代如火如荼的城市开发建设中,坐落于三坊七巷北隅的故居即将“一拆了之”。时任福州市委书记习近平听闻这一消息,立刻叫停拆迁。时隔半年,故居修缮工程悄然动工……

  从拆到修,一字之差,天壤之别,考验的是历史远见。

  重视良渚遗址保护,“实证中华五千年文明史的圣地”是习近平总书记作出的重要论断;

  来到甘肃嘉峪关关城,“保护好中华民族精神生生不息的根脉”是习近平总书记的殷殷嘱托;

  老城要发展,居民生活亟待改善。如何既满足老街坊们对美好生活的期盼,又保留城市文化记忆、延续历史文脉?习近平总书记有着深邃思考。

  “北京是世界著名古都,丰富的历史文化遗产是一张金名片,传承保护好这份宝贵的历史文化遗产是首都的职责,要本着对历史负责、对人民负责的精神,传承历史文脉”。习近平总书记语气坚定。

  2019年2月,习近平总书记再次走进北京胡同,来到前门东区,沿草厂四条胡同步行察看街巷风貌。“让城市留住记忆,让人们记住乡愁。”总书记的文化情怀,隽永绵长。

  今天,正定古城重现北方雄镇风貌,北京胡同镌刻古都记忆与浓浓乡情,八廓街见证西藏翻天覆地历史巨变,“世遗之城”泉州讲述包容与开放的动人故事……历史文脉融入现代生活,山水人文交汇成现代宜居之地,文化自信构筑中华民族共有精神家园。

  “海纳百川,有容乃大。”

Kindness and good-neighborliness and harmony among all nations are the consistent ways of Chinese civilization.

In March 2013, Xi Jinping made his first foreign visit as president and explained the "community of common destiny" initiative to the world in Moscow. A year later, he delivered a speech at UNESCO headquarters, profoundly explaining China's concept of civilization in the new era, pointing out that "exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for the progress of human civilization and world peace and development".

In the heart of General Secretary Xi Jinping, whether it is Chinese civilization or other civilizations in the world, it is the result of human civilization; Promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations can enrich the color of human civilization, enable people of all countries to enjoy a more connotative spiritual life, and create a more selective future.

In May 2019, the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations was held in Beijing. Initiated by General Secretary Xi Jinping, the conference not only covers all countries in Asia, but is also open to all continents of the world.

"Surpassing the superiority of civilizations with diverse coexistence, transcending the clash of civilizations with harmonious coexistence, transcending civilizational barriers with integration and sharing, and surpassing civilization solidification with prosperity and common progress..." The outcome document issued by more than 47,1000 participants from <> Asian countries and other countries and international organizations in the world demonstrated the broad consensus of all parties on the concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness.

In November 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was visiting Greece, walked into the Acropolis Museum, and the relief "Contemplative Athena" caught his eye.

"She was thinking about the meaning of war." General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about the Chinese allusion to "stopping war for force", and the then Greek President Pavlopoulos, who accompanied the visit, nodded in agreement.

"Since ancient times, Chinese has believed in the concepts of 'do unto others what you do not want', 'the world is for justice', and 'harmony among all nations'. China will never engage in national hegemony, nor will it agree with the zero-sum game of you lose and I win, because Chinese has never had this kind of cultural gene or such ambition. General Secretary Xi Jinping said.

Speaking of General Secretary Xi Jinping's concept of civilization and building a community with a shared future for mankind, Pavlopoulos, who attended the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations that year, sighed sincerely, "This reflects the wisdom of ancient Chinese civilization and China's historical responsibility as a responsible big country." ”

Exploring the depths of history, Chinese civilization has been passed down and has always endured in eclecticism.

In August 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping's first stop on his inspection tour in Gansu came to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.

The vivid colorful sculptures and exquisite murals still shine with fascinating legendary beauty after thousands of years of vicissitudes, witnessing the convergence and integration of diverse cultures and the exchange and mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations.

"Dunhuang culture demonstrates the cultural self-confidence of the Chinese nation, and only a civilization full of self-confidence can tolerate, learn from, and absorb the excellent achievements of various civilizations while maintaining its own characteristics." General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that in order to create new brilliance of Chinese culture, it is necessary to carry out cultural exchanges with other countries more extensively with a broader mind, and take the initiative to learn from all the excellent civilization achievements of the world.

The loud words conveyed to the world a broad and lofty view of civilization.

"The beauty of harmony lies in the harmony of differences."

General Secretary Xi Jinping has stressed many times that civilization is enriched by exchanges, and civilization is enriched by mutual learning. This is an idea, but also an action.

"I have visited many places in the world, and one of my favorite things to do is to learn about the different civilizations on five continents, and to understand how these civilizations are different from others."

Stroll through the ruins of the Chichen Itza Mayan civilization in Mexico and experience the wonderful "encounters" between ancient civilizations; At the European Academy in Bruges, Belgium, tea and wine are used as metaphors to illustrate the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western civilizations; At the Temple of Luxor, Egypt, the long history of civilizational interaction is recalled; The ancient temple complex of Mahabalipuram in India, which describes the long origin of mutual learning between civilizations; Wear a "bra shirt" in Fiji and listen to the blessing songs of the aborigines; At the "Quadripartite Palace" in Saudi Arabia, dance with the local crowd...

The "cultural diplomacy" shows China's respect and appreciation for other civilizations. General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally promoted exchanges, dialogues and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations, and injected profound and lasting strength into building a better world.

China goes to the world, and the world is eager to understand China.

"Chinese modernization is admirable." French President Emmanuel Macron, who has visited China many times, has a profound observation of China's development.

History freezes this meaningful moment -

On April 2023, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping invited French President Emmanuel Macron to stroll through the Lingnan Garden. The thousand-year-old guqin played "High Mountains and Flowing Water", which the heads of state of the two countries enjoyed together.

"To understand today's China, we must start with understanding China's history," General Secretary Xi Jinping said, stressing that "we are full of confidence in China's development prospects."

"In the past two days, our exchanges and friendships have deepened, which has enabled me to further appreciate China's long and splendid history and culture, and enhance my understanding of modern China's concept of governance." Macron said.

The profound civilization heritage has accumulated the wisdom of "the unevenness of things, the love of things", the mind of "wider than the sky", painted the majestic background of the rejuvenation of ancient powers, and illuminated the future of human civilization.

"The road is not alone, the world is a family."

Shortly before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the fourth volume of "Xi Jinping on Governing the Country" was released in Chinese and English at home and abroad, attracting worldwide attention. Turning the pages of the book, the world's feelings engraved in the genes of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years shine more dazzling brilliance in the new era.

Today's China is not only the China of China, but also the China of the world.

"The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese of the people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, progress for mankind, and common cause for the world." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words expressed the mission of taking the world as his responsibility.

At the beginning of this year, the TV series "Mountains and Seas", which tells the story of China's poverty alleviation, was broadcast in many Arab countries, and the tenacious will and survival wisdom of Chinese people fighting poverty and poverty alleviation have aroused widespread resonance in the Arab world.

From the mutual broadcasting and translation of film and television works and classic works to the exchange of experience in governing the country, from telling Chinese stories to the world to the development and cooperation of going to the sea of stars, the concepts and wisdom contained in Chinese culture are transcending time and space and transcending countries, bringing profound enlightenment to the development and progress of world civilization.

"Let the hundred gardens of world civilization be red and full of life". On March 2023, 3, at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and political parties around the world, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the global civilization initiative for the first time in the world, which attracted widespread attention at home and abroad.

Civilization is colorful, civilization is equal, civilization is inclusive. To cope with increasingly prominent global challenges and move towards a better future for mankind, we need the power of culture and civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping's concept of civilization, adhering to the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, has endowed the Chinese culture of "the world view" with a new connotation, providing correct guidance for the development of the times and making Chinese contributions to human civilization.

Follow the general trend, shoulder the great righteousness, walk the road, and seek common ground.

In the new era, China continues to draw wisdom and strength from the more than 5,000 years of civilization history of the Chinese nation, and in the great journey of realizing national rejuvenation, it will go hand in hand with other countries to draw a magnificent picture of human civilization!
