China's excellent traditional culture is the spiritual lifeblood of the Chinese nation, an important source of cultivating the core values of socialism, and a solid foundation for us to stand firm in the turmoil of world culture. To strengthen the building of a culture of honesty and honesty in the new era, we must persist in using China's excellent traditional culture to cultivate the spiritual realm of self-denial and self-preservation. Focusing on absorbing the essence of traditional clean culture and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, three experts and scholars were invited to conduct dialogues in this issue.
Based on the excellent traditional Chinese culture, cultivate cultural self-confidence
Reporter: The history of a nation and its culture go hand in hand. China's excellent traditional culture has a long history, is broad and profound, is the "root" and "soul" of the Chinese nation, and is also an important source and rich nourishment for enhancing cultural self-confidence and value identity. How to cultivate cultural self-confidence by carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture?
Wang Jie: Strengthening cultural self-confidence is inseparable from the consciousness and recognition of the history and culture of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly put forward the firm cultural self-confidence and incorporated it into the "four self-confidences" of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and clearly proposed to "persist in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture", profoundly giving China's excellent traditional culture a new era connotation. The rich philosophical thinking, humanistic spirit, indoctrination ideology, and moral concept of China's outstanding traditional culture are not only conducive to the party and government leading cadres strengthening their own official moral construction, but also provide rich lessons and reference materials for party and government leading cadres to govern the country. From the national level, it is necessary to vigorously promote the research and elaboration, dissemination and popularization, inheritance and development, practical application and foreign exchanges of China's excellent traditional culture; from the personal level, leading cadres should take the lead in reading classics, contacting excellent traditional culture in its original taste, understanding the ideological charm and spiritual essence of it, and using it for settling down and working and living.
Yang Yu: Chinese civilization has bred many brilliant and dazzling ideas and left countless immortal works. Wang Guowei once said: "Every generation has a generation of literature: Chu Zhisao, Han Zhifu, Six Generations of Piao Language, Tang Poetry, Song Zi, Yuan Zhiqu, all so-called literature of one generation." "The original classic is not only the affectionate call of the times, but also travels through time and space, and coils people's hearts. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Great works must be the works that have the deepest grasp of the destiny of individuals, nations and countries. "The Chinese nation's literary and artistic creativity is so powerful, and the achievements of creation are so brilliant, there is no reason why we should not feel confident and proud of it." In recent years, the enthusiasm of all sectors of society for the study and participation of traditional culture has been greatly enhanced, and the forms of creation and dissemination are various. For example, CCTV launched programs such as "Travel with Tang Poetry" and "Chinese Poetry Conference" have led the whole people to share the beauty of poetry, feel the fun of poetry, draw nutrition and nourish the soul from the wisdom and feelings of the ancients, and increase the audience's awe and pride in traditional culture.
Jing Xiaoyong: The excellent traditional Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years is the "root" and "soul" of the Chinese nation, and it is also the rich nourishment for the development of China today. China Oriental Performing Arts Group is a state-level performing arts and cultural group directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with the mission of carefully creating well-known brands of "China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe" and "China National Song and Dance Troupe" with long reputation. Its artistic origins can be traced from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe established in 1962 and the Central Song and Dance Troupe established in 1952 to the Lu Xun Art Institute in Yan'an, from "White Haired Girl" to "Lotus Dance" and "Peacock Dance", always based on the fertile soil of China's excellent traditional culture, showing the unique charm of Chinese culture to the world. In recent years, the dance poems and paintings "National Colors", the dance music "Chinese Stories and Zodiac Signs", and the new-type concert "Music Circle" are all stage art practices that deeply excavate the traditional aesthetic advantages of the Chinese nation, enhance cultural self-confidence, and nourish people's feelings.
Absorb the essence of traditional incorruptible culture to enhance the ideological realm
Reporter: The broad and profound five-thousand-year-old Chinese civilization itself is a treasure house of rich cultural resources for honesty, and using China's excellent traditional culture to cultivate the spiritual realm of self-denial and honesty and self-preservation is an important content of the cultural foundation of honesty and honesty.
Wang Jie: Looking at the 5,000-year history of civilization development of the Chinese nation, the culture of honesty and honesty has always run through it. Honesty in government is the first, and honesty is the foundation of government. Honest government refers to the correct attitude that officials hold when dealing with all kinds of external financial temptations, that is, it is better to be honest in wealth and not to be greedy when it comes to wealth. Mencius said, "You can take it, you can take it without taking it, and you can take it inexpensively." "In the construction of a clean and honest government, severe punishment and fierce medicine to remove the symptoms are the symptoms, and cultural cultivation and righteous self-cultivation are the root causes." For officials, honesty and self-discipline are not only a matter of personal moral character, but also related to political justice, the well-being of the people, and the rise and fall of the country. Honesty is the basis of the people's trust in the government, if the officials can not be honest and fair, the country can not be governed, the people are hurt. It is necessary to comprehensively and systematically study and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, constantly absorb the wisdom and strength in the traditional culture of self-cultivation, advocating morality and honesty, honesty as the foundation of the government, and upholding honesty and honesty, firmly establish the concept of ruling with benevolence and love for people and the people as the foundation, always maintain a straight and upright style, profoundly understand the way of cultivating oneself with virtue, the way of dealing with the world, the way of knowing people and being good at taking responsibility, and the way of taking government as an official, and guide party members and cadres to enhance their ideological realm and enhance their ability to resist corruption and guard against degeneration.
Yang Yu: In the vast history of China, many clean officials and honest officials have emerged. They are indifferent to fame and fortune, honest and honest, diligent in government and love for the people, and have also written many clean and honest poems, which have provided valuable ideological resources for strengthening the building of a clean and honest culture in the new era today. Bao Zheng of the Northern Song Dynasty said in the "Shuduan Prefecture County Zhaibi": "Pure heart is the cure, and straight road is the body strategy." "Pure heart" and "straight way" are not only the creeds of Bao Zheng's lifelong behavior as an official, but also the core of his thinking on the rule of officials. In the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian not only kept officials clean and honest and resisted all kinds of corrupt behaviors, but also did not fear resistance and rectified many unjust cases. Every time he went to Beijing to report for duty, he never bribed high-ranking officials of the imperial court in the name of giving local souvenirs, and wrote a poem: "Handkerchief mushrooms and incense sticks, local capital and civilian revolts." Qingfeng's sleeves go to the sky, so as not to make Lu Yan's words short and long, "with a clear heart, vividly interpreting the noble qualities of honesty and honesty, not flattering the powerful." These clean and honest poems are part of China's excellent traditional culture, from which we can appreciate the ambitions and standards of clean officials and honest officials in ancient times, and also provide a mirror for today's party members and cadres to engage in politics.
Jing Xiaoyong: Over the years, China Oriental Performing Arts Group has taken "art to serve the country, art for the people" as the concept, with a unique artistic style, to express Chinese feelings and highlight oriental characteristics. The classic Masterpiece of Chinese Dance "Lotus Dance", which symbolizes incorruptibility since ancient times, and the dance poem "National Color", which captures the essence of China's 5,000-year-old Sinology culture, all convey and display the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, so that the audience can truly feel the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and the national spirit behind it. Based on "frugality" and awakening the sleeping cultural relics, the creation of the dance poetry drama "Only This Green" highlights the spiritual character of humanistic landscapes with a simple oriental aesthetic, and has successively appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and lantern evening of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, which have been widely praised. In addition, we also pay attention to the use of traditional national creative methods to pay tribute to the times and pay tribute to the servants of the people who abstain from self-denial. When composing the national opera "Poverty Alleviation Road", the music creation team collected winds and observations in Guangxi Baise, collecting Miao and Yi folk songs, Zhuang mountain songs, etc., which branded a deep national imprint on the work.
Promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture
Reporter: The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's outstanding traditional culture." At the beginning of this year, the "Opinions on Strengthening the Building of a Culture of Honesty and Honesty in the New Era" issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee once again emphasized this requirement. Please talk about how to combine the new era conditions to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, abide by the integrity and innovation, introduce the old and innovate, and let the Chinese culture bloom with the brilliance of the new era?
Wang Jie: Under the new historical conditions, "creative transformation and innovative development" are in line with the ideas advocated by our party, such as "using the past for the present, pushing out the old and bringing out the new" and "taking its essence and discarding its dross." China's excellent traditional culture is an important foundation and focus to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, it is necessary to dig deep into the integrity elements in excellent traditional cultural and cultural resources, and provide rich cultural products and quality services through the use of new media and new technologies to develop and provide rich cultural products and high-quality services, so that China's excellent traditional culture can play a silent and lasting role in innovation and development. In the field of party style and clean government, we should properly implement "integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's outstanding traditional culture," strive to form a culture of honesty and honesty in the new era, and make a good plan and build a culture of honesty and honesty in the new era as a basic project for the building of party style and the building of a clean and honest government, so as to provide cultural support for promoting the comprehensive and strict management of the party to develop in depth.
Yang Yu: "Those who fall in reality think of their trees, and those who drink their streams cherish their sources." Many of the ideas and moral norms contained in China's excellent traditional culture have a value that will never fade. Today, we should pay tribute to history, highlight the use of China's excellent traditional culture, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. I believe that campus culture construction, as an important carrier for inheriting and carrying forward China's excellent traditional culture, should deeply excavate the humanistic spirit of warm and timeless Chinese excellent traditional culture, and insist on integrating Chinese excellent traditional culture, including traditional and honest culture, into the whole process of teaching. At the same time, we must read more classics, deeply understand and practice, unite knowledge and action, work cultivating ourselves, and integrate the study of China's excellent traditional culture with the improvement of our own life realm.
Jing Xiaoyong: Realizing creative transformation and innovative development is the overall requirement for inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture, and it is also the mission of literary and art workers. "Only This Green" is the first result of the in-depth exploration of the cooperation model of "cross-border integration and innovative communication" by cultural and museum units, art academies and authoritative media, and is also an important practice of the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. Last month, we launched the "Only This Green" digital collection commemorative ticket with Barley and Spirit Culture. This is the first digital collection commemorative ticket in the performance industry, which builds a bridge to the national cultural IP for the audience. This year, we will cooperate with Yunnan to create the musical "Bloom" based on Zhang Guimei, and the dance drama "Taihang" with Shanxi. As a state-owned literary and art academy, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the "vanguard", take traditional culture as the root, and strive to create and promote excellent stage art works that reflect the national standards and national characteristics and have international influence, so that the excellent traditional culture will glow with new vitality.
