the modernization of the chinese style is a major achievement achieved by the people of all ethnic groups in the long period of exploration and practice under the leadership of the cpc after enduring hardships and paying a great price. it represents the development direction of human civilization progress, shows a new picture different from the western modernization mode, is a brand new form of human civilization. in the face of this unprecedented pioneering cause, how can our party successfully promote and expand the chinese-style modernization? what is the deeper meaning? the general secretary pointed out that "chinese modernization is deeply rooted in the fine traditional chinese culture, embodies the advanced nature of scientific socialism, and draws on all fine achievements of human civilization". in other words, chinese modernization is based on profound cultural confidence, which has been supported by enduring momentum. among them, the ancient civilization of the chinese nation constitutes the background color of chinese modernization, which is its noumenal stipulation; under the guidance of marxism, the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture created by the party under the leadership of the people in the course of revolution, construction and reform are the essential provisions of chinese-style modernization. absorbing the excellent achievements of human civilization and obtaining the provisions of times and space in the process of globalization together constitute the cultural connotation and spiritual temperament of chinese modernization.
looking back at the history, a cultural river river wide tidal surge, pentium. based on the 5,000-year history of the chinese civilization and the nearly 200-year history of the chinese nation's pursuit of great rejuvenation in modern times, especially the century-long history of the chinese people's exploration and practice under the leadership of the communist party of china, the chinese people have embraced the new and innovated the old, accumulated the cultural heritage of chinese modernization, and pushed forward the chinese modernization.
chinese excellent traditional culture constitutes the cultural background of chinese modernization practice and is the noumenal stipulation of chinese modernization
the chinese nation is a great nation, and chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has developed without interruption. over the past 5,000 years or so, the chinese nation has developed unique folk customs, customs and beliefs, and formed a unique value system in which the chinese people view the world, society and life. china has experienced dozens of dynasties in its history. even though dynasties come and go, it has always maintained the stability of the main body of civilization. the fine traditional chinese culture has become the gene of the chinese nation and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the chinese people, influencing their ways of thinking and behavior.
the civilization of more than 5000 years has defined the cultural deposits and spiritual characteristics of chinese modernization from the ontology. only when it is rooted in the rich historical and cultural soil of the country and the nation, can the path of chinese modernization be stable and lasting. the fine traditional chinese culture has a long history and is extensive and profound. it is the crystallization of wisdom of the chinese civilization. it embodies the values of "the world for the common good, the people for the foundation of the state, governance based on virtue, reform and reform, appointing people on the basis of merit, harmony between nature and man, unremitting self-improvement, upholding moral values, maintaining good faith, building amity, and being kind to neighbors." it is an important embodiment of the chinese people's views on the universe, the world, society and morality accumulated over the long period of production and life, and is highly compatible with the values of scientific socialism. chinese culture emphasizes the unity of nature and man, which is the most basic philosophical concept of ancient chinese people. the "unity of heaven and man" is the cosmological ontology and world outlook, which controls the social, ethical, ecological and national governance views of the chinese people. no matter the rulers, ministers and common people, they should obey the mandate of heaven and practice the principles of heaven. in ancient china, this cultural mechanism not only restrained rulers and power to a certain extent, but also formed a social check and balance. for another example, "great harmony under the world" is the ancient chinese ideal for a better society in the future. in a great harmony society, property is shared, the world is a family, clothes are shared, food is shared, reasonable division of labor, selection of talents and abilities, peace and harmony. the idea of harmony with the world is still the constant pursuit of the chinese people even today. in addition, concepts such as "the people are the foundation of the state", "benevolence loves", "the golden mean" and "integration of knowledge and practice" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. they have precipitate and constructed the national system, played an important role in constructing, stabilizing and correcting the society, and are the fundamental force that has sustained the chinese civilization for thousands of years.
along the way, the communist party of china has faced different social conflicts, different social conditions for development, and different historical tasks. however, we always remind ourselves of where we came from and where we are going. as the general secretary pointed out, if there is no chinese civilization of 5,000 years, what chinese characteristics? if it were not for chinese characteristics, how could we have achieved such a successful path of socialism with chinese characteristics? from "the people are more important than the monarch, and the government should support the people" to "putting people first and the people first", from "harmony between nature and man" and "the law of nature" to "lucian waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", from "benevolence and harmony among neighbors" to "building a community with a shared future for mankind"... the chinese characteristics we are talking about today are rooted in the chinese civilization and fine traditional culture.
after marxism was introduced into china, the idea of scientific socialism was warmly welcomed by the chinese people. it is by no means accidental that it finally took root and blossomed and bore fruit on the land of china. rather, it is integrated with the fine history and culture that have been passed on for thousands of years and the values that the majority of the people are unaware of on a daily basis. under the banner of scientific socialism, the ideological values pursued by the chinese nation, such as "the world is for the common good" and "great harmony under the world", have been endowed with new connotations and full of new life. at a time of national distress, the value pursuits of "repairing qi, managing peace" and "taking the world as our own duty", which were flowing in the blood of the chinese people, were suddenly activated. creative transformation and innovative development became the mission of saving the country and the people, and the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, so that the fine traditional chinese culture would shine again and regain its glory. on the one hand, the fine traditional chinese culture has provided fertile soil for modernization to take root and blossom in china. on the other hand, chinese modernization has activated the spirit gene of chinese excellent traditional culture and made its modern value manifest.
under the guidance of marxism, the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture created by the people under the leadership of the party in the course of revolution, construction and reform constitute the essential provisions of chinese-style modernization
since 1840, chinese civilization has been challenged by western civilization. china gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. the country was humiliated, the people suffered and the civilization was tarnished, and the chinese nation suffered an unprecedented calamity. in order to save the nation from extinction, the chinese people rose up and shouted, the taiping heavenly kingdom movement, the hundred days reform, the boxer movement and the revolution of 1911 came out one after another, and various plans to save the country were introduced one after another, but all ended in failure. at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, marxism-leninism, with its powerful spiritual power and blueprint for a beautiful society, attracted chinese intellectuals and the toplessness of the masses, opening the door of hope for the bright future of ancient china. in the great awakening of the chinese nation, in the close combination of marxism-leninism and the chinese workers' movement, the communist party of china came into being. from then on, the chinese people's struggle for national independence and liberation and the realization of national prosperity and people's happiness had its backbone, and the chinese people began to turn from a passive spirit to an active one.
whether marxism can play its role in practice depends on whether it can integrate the basic tenets of marxism with china's reality and the characteristics of the times. the fundamental way to advance the modernization of marxism in china is to combine the basic principles of marxism with china's realities and fine traditional chinese culture, so as to continuously realize theoretical innovation of marxism and forge and forge ideological weapons for chinese modernization to keep pace with the times. what makes the communist party of china capable and why socialism with chinese characteristics is good is, in the final analysis, marxism. it is marxism that has adapted itself to the times. the formation of a system of theories of socialism with chinese characteristics has made a new leap forward in adapting marxism to china. he founded the thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era, which is contemporary chinese marxism, twenty-first century marxism, and the quintessence of chinese culture and chinese spirit, thus realizing a new leap forward in adapting marxism to chinese conditions. in the past 100 years or so, in the face of hardships and hardships, our party has always stressed that socialism with chinese characteristics not only adhered to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endowed it with distinctive chinese characteristics in light of the conditions of the times. adherence to socialism with chinese characteristics is one of the essential requirements of chinese modernization. we must stay committed to the path of socialism with chinese characteristics with unchanging principles and aspirations.
adhering to the guidance of marxism means applying its scientific world outlook and methodology to solve china's problems, rather than reciting and repeating its specific conclusions and words, still less taking marxism as an immutable dogma. the party's theory of innovation is rooted in the fertile soil of chinese culture. it draws on the rich philosophy, humanistic spirit, values, and ethics of china's fine traditional culture, and consciously inherits the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture forged by the party under the leadership of the people in revolution, development, and reform. it demonstrates the party's scientific theory and pursuit of ideals, feelings for the people and revolutionary responsibility, its fine tradition and spirit of struggle, integrates the essence of marxism with the spiritual characteristics of china's fine traditional culture, and provides timely answers to the questions of china, the world, the people and the times, leading us to understand the world, grasp laws, pursue truth and transform the world. to establish the spiritual backbone of the chinese nation based on reality and facing the future. chinese modernization is a new model of modernization created by the chinese people in the process of answering and solving china's problems by marxism.
absorb the excellent achievements of human civilization, and obtain the rules of the times and space in the process of world modernization
when the chinese people are moving towards modernization, the whole world has changed dramatically. in terms of time, the 18th century saw the emergence of the steam engine and other major inventions, which led to the first industrial revolution and the start of the modernization of human society. in terms of space, globalization connects all countries and regions. marx and engels profoundly revealed the trend of the transformation from history to world history in the german ideology: "the more the spheres of interaction between peoples expand in this process of development, and the more completely the primitive isolation of peoples has been destroyed by ever-improving modes of production, contacts, and the division of labour between peoples naturally formed by contacts, the more history has become world history." in particular, with the development of globalization, human beings live in the same global village and have increasingly become an interconnected community of shared future. in the current international situation, no country can meet the various challenges facing mankind alone, nor can any country retreat to an isolated island of self-isolation.
the world is undergoing major changes, adjustments and transitions that have had a profound impact on the course of human history. it is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. world multipolarity, economic globalization, it application and cultural diversity are gaining momentum. a prominent feature of this once-in-a-century transformation is the rise of a group of emerging economies and developing countries, and china's move closer to the center of the world stage. this is the most revolutionary and historic major change in modern times and the largest and most important global power transfer in more than 500 years of world history. from a larger perspective, it is the systematic change and transition of human civilization and culture. the cultural precipitation of time and space meaning awakens the chinese nation's creative transformation and innovative development of culture. the chinese nation has engaged in extensive cultural exchanges with other countries, and has been more active in learning from the fine cultural achievements of other countries and ethnic groups. this has enabled the chinese nation to gain nourishment and vitality, gain new space for development through exchanges with the world, and stimulate new creativity in fine traditional chinese culture.
since the beginning of the new era, the general secretary has not only attached great importance to learning from the fine traditional chinese culture, but also stressed that "we should arm ourselves with all the fine ideological and cultural achievements created by mankind", advocating that "we should learn from all the achievements of human civilization with an open mind", "we should seek wisdom and nutrition from different civilizations, and provide people with spiritual support and spiritual comfort. work together to address the common challenges facing mankind." at present, in the face of profound changes unseen in the world in a century, we are actively promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and upholding the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom of all mankind. in the face of rising concerns about the clash of civilizations and the superiority of civilizations, the risk of estrangement and clash of civilizations is on the rise. the chinese civilization, which advocates harmony without uniformity and inclusiveness and mutual learning, has added new achievements to the treasure house of human civilization and put a distinct chinese imprint on world civilization. chinese modernization has greatly enriched the content of world civilization and pointed out the direction of human civilization.
it can be seen from the above that the process of chinese-style modernization has brought together the excellent traditional chinese culture, the revolutionary culture and the advanced socialist culture created by the people under the leadership of the party during the revolution, construction and reform, and has absorbed and learned from the excellent cultural achievements of all nationalities in the world, with unique cultural marks and spiritual characteristics. constantly respond to the great logic of human practice with new ideological connotation, era connotation and civilization connotation, so as to inject spiritual impetus for the chinese modernization to grasp the times and shape the times.
