The positive significance of enhancing cultural self-confidence

First, it points out the correct direction for solving the problem of carrying forward Chinese excellent traditional culture.

Critically inheriting China's traditional culture is an important issue of the times since the May 4th New Culture Movement. The May 4th New Culture Movement followed the historical trend and prepared conditions for the widespread spread of Marxism in China and the birth of the China * * * Production Party.

However, it also has its historical limitations, in particular, it is impossible to scientifically distinguish between feudal ethics and China's excellent traditional culture, and it is impossible to scientifically distinguish between Confucianism as a tool of feudal rule and Confucianism as a cultural heritage of China. In this regard, we can neither demand our predecessors nor ignore this important historical issue.

Especially today, when great wealth of material civilization has been created, we should make great efforts to fill the shortcomings of spiritual civilization construction and socialist core values construction, and make great efforts to fill the shortcomings of national cultural soft power after the comprehensive strength of the country, especially the hard strength of the country. Therefore, we must start the "root-seeking journey" of contemporary China's spiritual culture. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "History and reality have proved that the Chinese nation has strong cultural creativity." "Without the prosperity of Chinese culture, there would be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Second, it provides correct guidance for unswervingly promoting the China, modernization and popularization of Marxism.

Long-term historical practice has proved that the power source to promote theoretical innovation comes from both people's practice and China's traditional culture.

In the process of creating Marxism in China, Comrade Mao Zedong took the lead in putting forward the fundamental proposition of "Marxism in China" and endowed it with profound connotation of "combining with the reality of China revolution".

Today, China's reform and opening up has stood at a new historical starting point. In the unity and benign interaction of theoretical innovation and practical innovation, it is more urgent than ever to build Marxism in China in the 2 1 century. In this benign interaction, we must not underestimate the important role and unique value of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

The General Secretary pointed out: "To publicize and explain the characteristics of China, it is necessary to make clear that each country and nation has different historical traditions, cultural accumulation and basic national conditions, and the development path must have its own characteristics; It is clear that Chinese culture embodies the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation and is a rich nourishment for its endless development and growth; It is the outstanding advantage of the Chinese nation and our deepest cultural soft power to explain the excellent Chinese traditional culture clearly. Obviously, Socialism with Chinese characteristics is rooted in the fertile soil of China culture, which reflects the aspirations of the people of China and adapts to the development and progress of China and the times. It has a profound historical origin and a broad realistic foundation. "

Thirdly, on the basis of cultural self-confidence, it has laid a profound national cultural foundation for strengthening Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence and institutional self-confidence.

To strengthen the national self-confidence of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road, theory and system, and resist the influence, temptation and erosion of various erroneous ideological trends, we must lay a beautiful and solid background for road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence and institutional self-confidence. This background color is a cultural confidence in the excellent historical tradition of the Chinese nation.

The culture of the Chinese nation should go abroad, let the culture speak for itself, and make it a medium for peaceful exchanges between different languages, different regions and different countries. While displaying the elegant demeanor of Chinese culture, it is more important to present the concept of China's peaceful development and peaceful rise, explaining that "the Chinese nation does not have the genes to invade others and dominate the world in its blood, and the people of China do not accept the logic that' a strong country must dominate', and are willing to live in harmony and develop harmoniously with the people of all countries in the world, * * * seeking peace, * * ensuring peace and * * * enjoying peace", thus creating a good development for China.

"Improving the national cultural soft power is related to the goal of' two hundred years' and the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation". A country's hard power is not good, and it may be defeated by a dozen; If the soft power is not good, it will not necessarily be defeated. It is urgent to practice cultural self-confidence and enhance cultural soft power, which concerns the overall situation.

"If you want people not to doubt, you must be confident first". Only by having firm confidence in one's own culture can we get the calmness of persistence, summon up the courage to forge ahead and glow with the vitality of innovation and creation. Culture is the foundation of the world, and culture prospers the country. Strengthening cultural self-confidence, vigorously promoting Chinese culture to go abroad, providing more effective soft guarantee for the expansion of China's economic, diplomatic and security influence, building a more favorable soft environment, and providing more basic, deeper and more lasting power for our strong country's self-confidence are issues of the times that we must attach importance to.
