Young people should take on a new cultural mission

Culture is the soul of a country and a nation, and culture is prosperous and prosperous, and culture is strong and the nation is strong. Xi Jinping Cultural Thought is a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the construction of the party's leadership culture in the new era, with very rich connotations and profound expositions, which provide a strong ideological guarantee and strong spiritual strength for creating a new situation for the cause of the party and the country in the new era. Continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point is inseparable from the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thought.

Young people are an important force for social progress, and they are full of vitality to promote cultural innovation and creativity. The vast number of young people should deeply study and comprehend Xi Jinping's cultural thought, understand and grasp the historical inevitability of the development of human society and socialism with Chinese characteristics from the great practice of our party in exploring the historical development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly establish the belief and confidence to strive for the lofty ideals of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, give full play to the power of youth, and undertake new cultural missions.

Cultural creation is carried out in the practice of creation

Any kind of cultural evolution is inseparable from the soil of the times and from specific practice, which is the law of development from particularity to universality. It is an inevitable trend in the development of human civilization to create culture in practice and create culture in the course of historical progress. In modern society, culture, as a high-level aesthetic and ideological expression, not only has a profound impact on the cultural image and soft power of a country or region, but also has a profound impact on the spiritual life of individuals. Therefore, cultural creation in practice and creation can not only promote the all-round progress of culture, but also an important way to improve the quality of the country and individuals.

The new ideas and concepts formed by young people in practice reflect the requirements of the times and the aspirations of the new generation, update the content of culture, and promote the development of culture. Judging from the course of world history, the generation of new social values is generally realized through the continuous creation of ideological values of the new generation. The new generation uses the new way of life as the carrier, showing new phenomena and new things at the level of daily life, and finally forming a new culture, thus marking the comprehensive formation of the new generation in the social structure. The cultural essence of the new generation is that the new age group enters the social structure with similar group consciousness, common interest appeals, and similar social expectations, and carries out cultural inheritance in a relatively stable social group way. In the new era, Chinese youth are not only participants in inheriting and carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also the readers and future heirs of cultural achievements. To accomplish the new cultural mission in the new era, it is inseparable from the active participation of contemporary youth.

The times are different, and the youth is the same. Young people have an innate age advantage and creative potential, and the precious characteristics of Chinese young people in pursuing progress and the historical tradition of permanent struggle determine that they not only place their own future, but also the hope of the nation. Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and more confident and capable than at any other time in history. In this new era, contemporary young people should carry out cultural creation in practice and creation, give full play to their professional advantages, use modern scientific and technological means, use cultural elements to create cultural corridors, use cultural classics to tell cultural stories, refine and display the spiritual identity and cultural essence of Chinese civilization, constantly summarize cultural laws, strengthen cultural identity, closely integrate personal development with the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and cultivate and create a new culture belonging to the new era in the practice of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way。

With the righteousness and vigor of integrity and innovation, we will continue the historical context and write a contemporary chapter

Chinese culture has a long history, Chinese civilization is broad and profound, and in the course of thousands of years of historical evolution, the Chinese nation has created a splendid ancient civilization and formed an excellent traditional culture. Only by basing ourselves on the magnificent history of Chinese civilization of more than 5,000 years can we truly understand the historical inevitability, cultural connotation and unique advantages of China's path. The sustainable development of civilization not only needs to be passed on from generation to generation, but also needs to adapt to the times and bring forth the new. Now, the baton of cultural inheritance has been handed over to the hands of contemporary youth, who have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and should be invigorated, give full play to their initiative and creativity, continue the historical context with the righteousness and vigor of integrity and innovation, write a contemporary chapter, and constantly create a new glory of Chinese civilization.

Upholding integrity means guarding the fundamental system of Marxism's guiding position in the ideological field, the cultural leadership of the Communist Party of China and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. Young people in the new era should take the initiative to feel the profound accumulation and special charm of Chinese culture, inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and national spirit, fully absorb the rich philosophical thoughts, humanistic spirit, values and moral norms contained therein, excavate and interpret the excellent traditional Chinese culture, emphasize benevolence, respect for the people, abide by integrity, advocate justice, uphold harmony and seek great harmony, and strive to nourish and inspire themselves with all the spiritual wealth created by the Chinese nation, and establish cultural self-confidence in their hearts. With a high sense of cultural responsibility, we should sort out the roots and roots of Chinese civilization, never forget the roots and soul of the Chinese nation, and establish a sense of identity, mission and responsibility for traditional culture.

Innovation, the creation of new ideas, new discourse, new mechanisms, new forms, to achieve the ancient for the present, foreign for the Chinese, dialectical trade-offs, through the old to bring forth the new. To promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, we cannot be satisfied with providing some superficial cultural symbols, but the key is to refine and display the spiritual identity and cultural essence of Chinese civilization with contemporary value and world significance. Young people in the new era should not only adhere to their own civilization traditions, adhere to the position of Chinese culture, consolidate cultural subjectivity, expand new ideas, plan new ways of playing, build new platforms, continue to deepen exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and better promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture In the process of integrity and innovation, we will better promote Chinese culture to go global with a confident and open attitude, and show the long history and humanistic heritage of Chinese civilization.

Xi Jinping's cultural and ideological system is complete, broad and profound, with strong truth penetration and practical leadership, providing a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for contemporary youth to undertake a new cultural mission. The vast number of young people should deeply understand the theoretical connotation of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, consciously shoulder the mission of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, work hard to continue the Chinese cultural context, realize the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, deeply study and explore the excellent traditional Chinese cultural resources, promote the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and constantly consolidate the historical and mass foundation of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and make contributions to the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation and the fertile cultural soil. Guided by Xi Jinping's cultural thought, we will work hard to promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries, create more excellent cultural works with noble taste, elegant style and healthy thoughts, provide more and better spiritual food for the people, build a cultural power, and contribute to providing favorable cultural conditions for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Conscientiously practice Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, work hard to strengthen international communication capacity building, promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, innovate and use modern communication methods, improve cultural communication methods, tell Chinese stories to the world, convey Chinese ideas, explain Chinese ideas, display Chinese achievements, publicize Chinese experience, contribute Chinese wisdom, and contribute to enhancing the influence of modern Chinese civilization.

Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. A new form of civilization should be a more perfect form of civilization that overcomes the shortcomings of the old civilization. The vigorous youth power demonstrated by the youth in the new era is the surging momentum of cultural innovation, the vitality of cultural self-confidence, the future picture of cultural prosperity, and an important force in building a cultural power. We have reason to believe that through the continuous struggle of generations of young people, we will certainly be able to undertake a new cultural mission and create a new glory of socialist culture in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
