Speech at the Seminar on Three Principles of Cultural Inheritance and Development

There are three principles in the speech at the forum of cultural inheritance and development: to deeply grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, to deeply understand the great significance of "two combinations" and to better shoulder the new cultural mission.

There are many important elements in China's excellent traditional culture, such as the social ideal that the world is public and the world is harmonious, the governance thought that people are the foundation of the country and politics is moral, the unified tradition of Kyushu's unity, the feelings of home and country responsible for the rise and fall of the country, the spiritual pursuit of being virtuous, loving the people and loving the people, giving consideration to justice and interests, and the ecological concept of harmony between man and nature and coexistence of all things.

It is the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics by combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture on the profound foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. This is the regular knowledge that we have gained in the course of exploring Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has put cultural construction in an important position in the overall work in the practice of leading the party and the people to promote the governance of the country. After these years of unremitting efforts, the cultural inheritance and development has taken on a new look and created a new situation, and the construction of a strong socialist cultural country has taken solid steps.

cultural heritage

Culture in a broad sense can be divided into material culture and intangible culture, and can also be divided into object culture, system culture and spiritual culture. Religious culture mainly belongs to intangible spiritual and institutional culture, but it also includes physical culture, such as religious architecture and sculpture. As a dominant ideology for a long time, religion has powerful control and infiltration functions, and is often regarded as the representative and soul of national culture, such as Christian culture and Islamic culture.

The traditional culture of all ethnic groups is often passed down and spread to other regions through religion. The representative of China's traditional culture is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but it does not mean that China's traditional culture is all religious culture, but that China's culture has been unified and integrated by the three religions for a long time and passed down and spread in the name of the three religions.
