The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture originated from the excellent traditional Chinese culture nurtured by the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, and was cast in the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture created by the party leading the people in revolution, construction and reform, and rooted in the great practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics." This paper points out the significance of China's excellent traditional culture to contemporary cultural construction. The creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture is not only an important content of China's current cultural construction, but also an important prerequisite for China's culture to go global, enhance its competitiveness and international discourse power.

Promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture. The development of culture is inseparable from the inheritance of tradition, which is not a simple retro or continuation, but needs to be accompanied by the construction of new theories, giving traditional resources a new era connotation in innovation and creation. The Chinese nation has always been good at developing in creation, and the emergence of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties is a rearrangement of the classical system by scholars in Song Dynasty. The current cultural revival in China also needs to constantly explore the contemporary expressions of cultural traditions, so as to guide current life and solve practical problems.

To promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture, we must first grasp the essence, structure and backbone factors of traditional culture, and pay attention to restoring the richness, comprehensiveness and systematicness of traditional values, so as to better grasp the traditional resources suitable for the present. For example, the traditional twenty-four solar terms in China are a set of knowledge system formed by China people by observing the laws of the sun's movement and summing up the corresponding seasons, climate and phenology. When we understand the 24 solar terms, we should pay attention to their thinking habits and lifestyles of China people and grasp their ideological essence and core values, so as to truly understand their guiding significance to the life practice of China people. Secondly, we should explore the contemporary expression of traditional resources. The traditional knowledge system and its expression are suitable for the past life, and often cannot be simply transplanted into modern life, but need to find the connection point and fit point with the needs of the times. Thirdly, the absorption and reference of traditional resources should be based on the current problem consciousness, which requires us to have a full grasp of the needs of the times, to have an accurate and clear judgment on the current cultural phenomena, and to absorb traditional wisdom and nutrition with clear problems. For example, The Book of Rites, as one of the Six Classics, has been guiding the social life of traditional China, but its specific rituals keep pace with the times and constantly adapt with the changes of the times. The so-called "big ceremony". The contemporary transformation of traditional resources also requires the creation of contemporary context in inheritance.
