What is modernization? How can we correctly handle the relationship between traditional culture and modernization?

Modernization refers to the fundamental changes in society and people compared with the Middle Ages.

To correctly handle the relationship between traditional culture and modernization, we must: first, proceed from the basic national conditions of China and take the great practice of socialist modernization in contemporary China as the basis and starting point; Second, guided by Marxist theory; Third, adopt an open attitude to achieve all-round exchanges with various cultures in the world. In communication, we should make clear the goal of modernization of traditional culture, so as to promote the self-renewal of traditional culture.

History has proved that inheriting the outstanding achievements of traditional culture and realizing socialist modernization are interrelated and mutually promoting processes, and cannot be opposed or separated.
