This paper discusses the great significance of inheriting and carrying forward the excellent moral tradition of the Chinese nation.

Inheriting and carrying forward the excellent national moral tradition is an inherent requirement of strengthening socialist moral construction in the new period and an important internal spirit of China's social development.

The fine ethical tradition of our nation is the internal motive force of our continuous survival and development, and it is the foundation of our foothold in the world. It is a unique excellent culture formed in the development of our nation and the spiritual source of our nation. Inheriting and carrying forward the excellent national moral tradition is the objective need of socialist modernization. China's modernization process cannot be separated from its excellent national moral tradition.

Carrying forward excellent traditional culture is the inherent need of cultural self-confidence in contemporary China. In addition to the continuous enhancement of cultural "hard power", cultural self-confidence also depends on the increasingly conscious and continuous display of local cultural traditions in the contemporary era. There is no inherent cultural tradition, no matter how much material wealth is accumulated, there is no real cultural confidence. Cultural self-confidence ultimately depends on a nation's cultural background.

Traditional culture gives new meaning to the times.

Traditional culture should inherit and innovate, carry forward, keep pace with the times, create brilliance again and give new meaning to the times! During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the construction of national cultural parks, the protection and inheritance of the Yellow River culture, the protection and utilization of the Grand Canal culture and the inheritance and innovation of ancient Chinese characters will play an important role in promoting the inheritance and development of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

With the deepening of inheritance and development, all localities and departments should open up new horizons, open up new paths, try new methods, strive to refine and display the essence, integrate values, systematically protect cultural heritage, activate and utilize cultural resources, restore and conserve cultural ecology, and show the charm of Chinese culture.
