Promoting the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization is the essential characteristic of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we need great development of material civilization as well as spiritual civilization.
To thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Cultural Thought, we must accurately grasp the dialectical relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization, consolidate the material conditions for the people's happy life, and at the same time constantly enrich the people's spiritual world, cultivate the spiritual strength of the nation, and strive to write a new chapter in Chinese-style modernization.
"Material and spiritual prosperity are the fundamental requirements of socialist modernization"
From "Erbin" to the Internet celebrity city continuing to "new", from "cute baby visit" to the north-south gala...... At the beginning of 2024, the rising popularity of cultural and tourism consumption will raise the temperature of economic development and show the world the new atmosphere of Chinese-style modernization.
"Chinese modernization is the modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization in harmony. In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that material and spiritual prosperity are the fundamental requirements of socialist modernization.
In promoting modernization, we have not only emphasized the emancipation and development of social productive forces and the promotion of sustained and rapid economic growth, but also held that spiritual civilization is the proper meaning of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The development of a single material civilization without the progress of spiritual civilization is not true socialist modernization and does not meet the requirements of all-round social progress.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the construction of spiritual civilization, repeatedly emphasizing the principle of "grasping with both hands, and attaching equal importance to both", pointing out that "when high-rise buildings are everywhere on the mainland, the edifice of the Chinese national spirit should also stand majestically". The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has placed the construction of spiritual civilization in an important position in the overall layout of the "five-in-one" and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and pushed the construction of material and spiritual civilization to a higher level.
Confident in China, the belief in victory is firmer - winning the largest battle against poverty in human history, more than 1.4 billion people have entered a well-off life in an all-round way, and the two wonderful chapters of material civilization and spiritual civilization have been written simultaneously, which has greatly stimulated national self-confidence and pride. The powerful energy accumulated by the Chinese people in the course of history has fully burst out, giving rise to an unprecedented spirit of historical initiative and historical creation.
Self-strengthening China, the spirit of struggle is more high-spirited - to become the world's second largest economy, the largest industrial country, the largest trade in goods, at the same time, to build the world's largest education system, social security system, become one of the most secure countries. In the magnificent picture scroll of the country's development "to the majority", the happiness coordinates of each person's "subtlety" are outlined, and the majestic strength of the Chinese sons and daughters to forge ahead and forge ahead in unity is condensed.
The great achievements made by the Party under the leadership of the people over the past 100 years, the leapfrog development achieved in reform and opening up over the past 40 years, and the historic changes that have taken place in the new era over the past 10 years have fully proved that the development of the two civilizations is mutually conditional, mutually reinforcing, and cannot be neglected.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Only when the construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization is done well, the material and spiritual strength of the country are enhanced, and the material and spiritual lives of the people of all ethnic groups in the country are improved, can the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics move forward smoothly." ”
"Correctly handle the relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization from a dialectical, comprehensive, and balanced viewpoint"
On the one hand, the 2,500-year-old streets and alleys are intact and preserved, and on the other hand, modern enterprises aiming at the forefront of science and technology are busy day and night.
"There is not only the inheritance of history and culture, but also high-tech innovation and high-quality development, which represents the direction of future development." On July 6, 2023, during an inspection of the Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District in Suzhou, General Secretary Xi Jinping's words were profound.
Marxism holds that material civilization and spiritual civilization are closely linked, mutually influential, and mutually conditional, and are unified in the specific practical activities of human beings.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to "correctly handle the relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization from a dialectical, comprehensive and balanced viewpoint". In the process of promoting modernization, it is necessary to carry out the major principle requirement of harmonizing material civilization with spiritual civilization from beginning to end.

The material foundation "sets up the stage", and the spiritual culture "sings". The development of material civilization provides a solid foundation for the development of spiritual civilization.
Looking at the vast expanse of China, the construction of public cultural facilities carrying spiritual civilization has been accelerated. More than 3,300 public libraries and more than 10,000 cultural centers and museums have been built across the country. At present, all public libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, comprehensive cultural stations and more than 90% of museums are open to the public free of charge.
Development is the foundation and premise for solving all problems. Without the material foundation accumulated by the development of New China over the past 70 years and the solid strength laid by the world's second largest economy, there would have been no majestic spiritual palace of the people, and the construction of spiritual civilization would have become water without a source and a tree without roots.
Demand drives supply and stimulates cultural vitality. The diversified development of the economy has put forward higher requirements for the construction of spiritual civilization.
New performing arts spaces are booming, new cross-border ways are leading the trend, and batches of new artistic works are staged in turn...... providing "fancy" innovation and constantly meeting people's more diverse spiritual needs. In 2023, the number of commercial performances and revenue in Beijing and other places will reach a record high.
"Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." From "whether there is any" to "whether it is good or not", people attach more importance to spiritual and cultural life, put forward new and higher requirements for cultural construction, and the characteristics of high-quality and personalized cultural demand are more obvious.
Cultural "soft power" provides "hard support". With the development of spiritual civilization, enhance the internal kinetic energy of the construction of material civilization——
Draw strength from film and television dramas such as "Awakening Age", "Changjin Lake" and "Mountains and Seas", and inspire pride with artistic creations such as "Pilot" and "We Walk on the Road...... Batches of outstanding cultural works have produced good economic effects while condensing the powerful spiritual force of forging ahead on a new journey.
Establish the heart with the text, and promote the industry with the text. Accelerating the promotion of high-level cultural construction and high-quality cultural supply will accelerate the release of consumption potential, expand the space for economic growth, and further enhance the centripetal force and creativity of the whole nation, providing strong momentum for us to overcome all difficulties on the way forward.
"A strong country and national rejuvenation require the accumulation of material civilization and, more importantly, the sublimation of spiritual civilization."
To open up a new world of career development, we need to be based on material and spiritual guidance.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation require the accumulation of material civilization and the sublimation of spiritual civilization." To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must make greater determination and greater efforts to promote the mutual promotion and coordinated development of the "two civilizations."
Adhere to two hands, two hands, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation——
Looking forward to the main goals of economic and social development in the future, "new achievements in economic development" and "new steps in reform and opening up" are at the forefront, followed by "new improvements in social civilization".
The closer we get to the goal, the more we need to be prepared to make more arduous and arduous efforts, and the more we need to strengthen the people's strength and boost the national spirit.
At the same time, we should build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation, and provide a more active and powerful spiritual force for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through cultural prosperity.

Persist in grasping with both hands and being firm with both hands, and vigorously promote the construction of a modern socialist country——
Strengthen "hard power" and build a strong country in manufacturing, quality, trade, aerospace, transportation and agriculture, and focus on "soft power" to build a strong country in education, culture, network and sports...... Looking to 2035, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has defined a series of goals, outlining a beautiful picture of modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great cause of all-round development and progress.
The mission and tasks of the new era and new journey require us to comprehensively enhance our economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength, and at the same time take cultural construction as an important content and important support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, so as to provide ideological guarantee, public opinion support, spiritual motivation and cultural conditions for the realization of the second centenary goal.
Adhere to two hands, two hands, and constantly meet the needs of the people for a better life——
We will build a "quarter-hour convenient living circle" to enrich people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, implement the ""Strong Foundation Project" - Literature and Art to Help the Construction of Grassroots Spiritual Civilization (2023-2025) Implementation Plan", and encourage the widespread development of grassroots sports such as "Village BA", "Village Super" and "Village Platoon......
In line with the new expectations of the people to improve the quality of life and move towards common prosperity, we must continue to enhance and improve people's livelihood and well-being, provide the people with diversified, multi-level and multi-faceted spiritual and cultural needs, and promote the all-round enrichment of things and the all-round development of people.
"We will continue to improve the people's material and spiritual living standards, so that every family has enough food and clothing, and let everyone know the etiquette and honor and disgrace. This is the good life that the people yearn for, and it is also the solemn promise of the communists.
