Why should China strengthen cultural construction?

Culture is the blood of a nation. The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years and has created splendid Chinese culture, which maintains the continuous development of the Chinese nation. Chinese civilization is one of the four great civilizations. Dialectically sublating traditional culture is not only the spiritual motive force of the Chinese nation's endless life, but also the spiritual resource for the Chinese nation to head for the world and realize national rejuvenation. Culture is the symbol and embodiment of national strength. Culture is both soft power and hard power. When it becomes the core value of science, it is spiritual strength, attraction and soft power; When it is transformed into a cultural industry, it is also a material productivity and a hard power.
