What is the deepest recognition?

The deepest cultural identity.

Cultural identity is a feeling of group cultural identity, a feeling that individuals are influenced by group culture. Although similar to political identity, it is not synonymous. Cultural identity, especially the identity of foreign cultural values, is enough to disintegrate a country's political system. On the contrary, our people's strong recognition of our own culture is not only a great spiritual force for our country to stand on its own feet in the world.

Identification is an intentional response. If a person is in a certain cultural situation and is not exposed to different cultures, that is, in a state of complete integration, he may not have the need or impulse to identify, because he is the same as the object of identification, that is, identification occurs in the field of contact, collision and comparison of different cultures, which is a kind of self-identification produced by individuals (groups) when they face another thing different from their own existence.

Misunderstanding of thinking

There are three misunderstandings in contemporary understanding of cultural identity:

First of all, it advocates rebuilding cultural identity by reviving traditional culture; Second, it opposes cultural identity and modernity; Third, it sets cultural identity against globalization.

Culture is closely related to people's specific way of life. It is impossible for contemporary people to live in the way of the ancients, and there is no realistic basis for reviving traditional culture, let alone rebuilding cultural identity. Weighing history and reality rationally, we can only create a new culture with both national "self-nature" and human "* * *" on the basis of new cultural traditions, thus constructing a real cultural identity; In the process of rebuilding cultural identity, modernity and globalization should be treated rationally and critically.
