It is necessary to speed up the construction of Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, strengthen international communication capacity, be good at using Chinese stories to explain Chinese theories and explain Chinese practices with Chinese discourse, truly transform our institutional and development advantages into discourse advantages, and strive to form an international discourse power that matches the mainland's comprehensive national strength and international status.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. This important speech has a strong political, ideological, strategic and guiding nature, and points out the direction of progress and provides a fundamental guide for strengthening cultural self-confidence and self-reliance, better shouldering the new cultural mission of the new era, and solidly promoting the construction of the Chinese nation's modern civilization and socialist cultural power. We must conscientiously implement Xi Jinping's cultural thought, better undertake the new cultural mission with the attitude of seizing the day and working hard, and strive to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with the righteousness and vigor of upholding integrity and innovation.

It is necessary to clearly define the objectives and tasks of propaganda, ideological, and cultural work in the new era. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is an important part of Xi Jinping's cultural thought and a new cultural mission that our party must shoulder in the new era. The Chinese nation, which has a long history and splendid culture, has created a splendid Chinese civilization with its industrious and kind national character, indomitable tenacious will, and wisdom and courage to explore. From the perspective of civilization inheritance, the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is a modern civilization that has developed innovatively on the basis of traditional civilization. From the perspective of the evolution of human civilization, the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is a new form of human civilization formed on the basis of a community with a shared future for mankind. From the perspective of the process of human modernization, the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is the civilization achievement of Chinese-style modernization, and the organic unity of material civilization, spiritual civilization, political civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization. From the perspective of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is an inevitable requirement for realizing Chinese-style modernization. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between tradition and modernity, inheritance and innovation, and individuality and commonality, and highlight the historical continuity, internal unity, and external inclusiveness of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. First of all, it is necessary to fully explore and condense the wisdom crystallization of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, use the past for the present, bring forth the new, and realize the organic connection between tradition and modernity. With a history of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese civilization is the only great civilization in the world that has continued to develop in the form of a country. Secondly, it is necessary to realize the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture in the process of inheritance, and keep the integrity and innovation, reform the old and bring forth the new. It is necessary not only to continue the historical context of Chinese civilization, but also to reshape the modern form of Chinese civilization based on the construction of modern civilization. In accordance with the new requirements of Chinese-style modernization, the excellent traditional Chinese culture will be endowed with new value connotations and expressions, and new vitality will be injected into the long-standing Chinese civilization. Finally, it is necessary to uphold the concept of cultural symbiosis of "each with its own beauty, and the beauty of the same", which is eclectic, harmonious and different. China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and the interaction and integration of different ethnic cultures has forged the diverse cultural heritage and broad cultural mind of Chinese civilization. In the process of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to adhere to the dialectical unity of diversity and identity, and constantly enhance the national cohesion and cultural identity of the Chinese civilization while promoting the diversified development of the Chinese culture. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not only a form of Chinese-style modernization, but also an inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and also injects profound and lasting cultural strength into the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

It is necessary to fully understand the complex challenges of propaganda, ideological, and cultural work in the new era. From the perspective of the macro situation, the propaganda, ideological and cultural work in the new era is not only facing the challenges of technological transformation of information generation mechanism and distribution mode brought about by the fourth industrial revolution, but also facing the challenge of organizational transformation of traditional propaganda, ideological and cultural work institutional reform and mechanism reshaping. Digital technologies such as mobile Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and virtual reality have iterated traditional media communication methods such as radio, television, and newspapers by virtue of their technical advantages in virtual image construction, massive information processing, and instant information dissemination, and reshaped the media ecology and communication pattern. The mobile digital information distribution and reception mode promotes the transformation of the traditional media organization mechanism to a platform-based, matrix-based, and all-media deep integration. From the perspective of the internal division of labor in propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, propaganda, ideology, and culture are in fact in different dimensions and different stages of information processing in the knowledge society, and have different generation mechanisms, communication carriers, and functional models. From the perspective of temporal mechanism and expression, propaganda is mostly based on news and current affairs, emphasizing real-time truth, ideology is mostly in the form of theoretical abstraction, paying attention to universal profundity, and culture is mostly characterized by artistic customs, focusing on subtlety and moisturizing things silently. How to systematically integrate the different subjects, different needs, different forms, and different standards of propaganda, ideological, and cultural work is another major challenge for propaganda, ideological, and cultural work in the new era. From the perspective of the external pressure of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, it is difficult for Internet algorithms to automatically filter garbage noise, it is difficult for new media platforms to achieve effective supervision, it is difficult to integrate the distribution of information from multiple fragments, it is difficult to explain and practice closed and scattered theoretical research, and the vitality of literary and artistic troupes needs to be further stimulated, and the propaganda, ideological and cultural work system urgently needs to be reformed and innovated.

It is necessary to be goal-oriented, problem-oriented, reform-oriented, and innovation-oriented, to comprehensively promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Chinese modernization has endowed Chinese civilization with modern strength, and Chinese civilization has endowed Chinese modernization with profound foundations. First of all, it is necessary to establish a systematic organizational system and operational mechanism that are in line with the "building of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation," and while coordinating the work of centralizing propaganda, ideology, and culture, such as theoretical arming, public opinion propaganda, ideological and moral construction, spiritual civilization building, cultural prosperity and development, network construction and management, and exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, it is necessary to strengthen exchanges, cooperation, and systematic integration with the departments of education, science and technology, diplomacy, industry and information technology, and market supervision, so as to form an overall joint force for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Secondly, it is necessary to innovate the technical mechanism, organizational mechanism and market incentive mechanism of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, and boldly use new technologies, new mechanisms and new models through technology empowerment, process optimization and platform reengineering, so as to realize the effective integration of various media resources and production factors, realize the integration and interoperability of information content, technology application, platform terminals and management methods, catalyze qualitative changes in integration, amplify the efficiency of integration, and create a number of new mainstream media with strong influence and competitiveness. Third, it is necessary to innovate the product mechanism for propagating ideology and culture, take a clear-cut stand and adhere to the correct political orientation, public opinion orientation, and value orientation, vigorously implement the project of exploring the source of Chinese civilization through innovations in concepts, contents, forms, methods, and means, strengthen research on the origin, development history, and rich content of Chinese civilization, and effectively improve the quality and level of propaganda, ideology, and cultural products. Finally, it is necessary to speed up the construction of Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, strengthen international communication capacity, be good at using Chinese stories to explain Chinese theories and Chinese practices with Chinese discourse, truly transform our institutional and development advantages into discourse advantages, and strive to form an international discourse power that matches the mainland's comprehensive national strength and international status. From explaining China's path and constructing Chinese theories, to telling Chinese stories and disseminating Chinese voices, to sharing China's experience and contributing China's wisdom, it provides strong theoretical support and profound cultural nourishment for the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
