When culture is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when culture is strong, the country is strong. The prosperity of culture is closely related to the destiny of the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has scientifically grasped the pulse of the development of the times, accurately predicted and grasped the trend of ideological and cultural development, and put forward a series of new ideas, new views and new assertions on cultural development and construction, thus forming Xi Jinping Cultural Thought.
On the new journey, Xi Jinping Cultural Thought has become a scientific guide to the prosperity and development of mainland culture, and has provided a powerful ideological weapon for the party's cultural practice and creation in the second century. Forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation and constantly building a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation is not only an important part of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, but also an important mission of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Ethnic exchanges, exchanges and blending are the fundamental prerequisite for all ethnic groups to work together in unity, prosperity and development, and an important foundation for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and building a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation. We should be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, keep up with the pace of development in the new era, strengthen cultural self-confidence, uphold an open and inclusive attitude, adhere to integrity and innovation, solidly promote cultural inheritance and development, and assume a new cultural mission in the process of building a cultural power and realizing national rejuvenation.
01
Be culturally confident
Consolidate the ideological foundation for exchanges, exchanges and integration among various ethnic groups
"Strengthening cultural self-confidence" is an important part of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, and "cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force". A country and a nation must firmly establish their identity with their own culture, and remain firm and firm in the ever-changing cultural tide of the world. The Chinese people's firm cultural self-confidence has a deep historical foundation, and the Chinese people have reasons and should be proud of the culture they have created.
The Chinese nation has been alive and well in a long history of more than 5,000 years, and has been reborn from the ashes after adversity, which is inseparable from the strong support of Chinese civilization. In the process of evolution, inheritance and development, the Chinese civilization has continued to grow, not only enriching its own connotation, but also becoming a gathering place for the cultures of various ethnic groups. It can be said that the Chinese civilization has created a miracle of human civilization and has also achieved the confidence of the Chinese nation's cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence comes from a deep reflection on the inheritance and uniqueness of national culture, a deeper level of cultural self-confidence, a deep grasp of the broad and profound core of Chinese civilization, and a dialectical reflection on the differences and commonalities of various ethnic cultures. Cultural self-confidence inspires the people's sense of pride and identity in their own culture, and prompts the people of all ethnic groups to open their hearts and actively share the fruits of their civilization with other ethnic groups. This will not only help to enhance mutual understanding between ethnic groups, but also promote the prosperity and development of culture and promote the integration of cultural elements of various ethnic groups.
To strengthen cultural self-confidence is to strengthen self-confidence in core values. The core values of socialism are the concentrated embodiment of the spirit of contemporary China and condense the common value pursuit of all people. Xi Jinping Thought on Culture has profoundly expounded the basic positioning, main content, and functional utility of the core socialist values, as well as how to more effectively cultivate and practice the core socialist values.
Widely practicing the core socialist values" is to take the core socialist values as the guide, find the connection point between traditional culture and modern life, use various cultural forms, and use vivid works to tell people what should be affirmed and praised, and what must be opposed and denied, so as to achieve spring breeze and rain, moisturize things silently, promote the formation of a social trend of advocating virtue and goodness, and striving for progress, and internalize the core socialist values in the heart and externalize them in action. A deep understanding of Chinese culture and a firm cultural self-confidence have laid a profound ideological foundation for the exchanges, exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups, and are an indispensable cultural cornerstone for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In practice, it is necessary to promote the formation of a common value foundation for close exchanges among all ethnic groups, and build a beautiful situation in which Chinese civilization flourishes and develops and all ethnic groups enjoy harmony and mutual assistance.
02
Be open and inclusive
Cultivate the cultural nutrients of exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups
"Since ancient times, Chinese civilization has been known for its openness and inclusiveness, and it has constantly radiated new vitality through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations." The degree of cultural openness and inclusiveness of a country and a nation is one of the important indicators to measure its level of development. The Chinese civilization has been reborn after many setbacks, showing the world its breadth and profundity in a splendid manner, thanks to its inclusive nature. Adhering to the guidance of Xi Jinping Cultural Thought, upholding an open and inclusive attitude, adhering to the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and inheriting and carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture are the inheritance of history and the promotion of the national spirit.
Cultural identity is the root of national unity, and deepening cultural identity is an important way to promote the exchange, exchange and integration of various ethnic groups. Culture is the soul of a nation, cultural identity is the deepest level of identity, is the solid foundation of political identity, and the common spiritual home of all ethnic groups is built on the basis of cultural identity. The excellent traditional culture formed by the Chinese nation in the long-term development process contains rich ideological elements to enhance national self-confidence and enhance emotional identity, as well as the Datong idea of "the world is for the public" and the people-oriented idea of "the people are the foundation of the state". Strengthening exchanges, exchanges, and blending among various ethnic groups will not only help enhance understanding and trust among ethnic groups and promote the economic and social development of minority areas, but will also help the cultures of various ethnic groups radiate new vigor and vitality under the new historical conditions. We should correctly grasp the relationship between Chinese culture and the cultures of various ethnic groups, focus on the main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, conform to the history of exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation in practice, draw on the power of cultural identity of all ethnic groups, and guide all ethnic groups to internalize Chinese culture into a spiritual home for co-construction, sharing and sharing.
The Chinese civilization has been formed and continued to develop for thousands of years without interruption, giving birth to a series of values and cultural characteristics, such as the way of life of kindness, good-neighborliness and harmony, the value orientation of benefiting the people and enriching the people, the spiritual temperament of reforming the old and keeping pace with the times, and the survival concept of Taoism and nature and the unity of nature and man. In the process of cultural construction, all ethnic groups have always followed the concept of "each with its own beauty, and the beauty of the United States". From the perspective of historical context, China has advocated the gentleman's way of "harmony but difference, virtue and virtue" since ancient times. With an open and inclusive mindset and in the process of exchanges and integration among various ethnic groups, the Chinese civilization has continuously innovated and developed, contributing unique Chinese wisdom and strength to the development of world civilization.
Today, when the destinies of all ethnic groups are closely linked, "openness and inclusiveness" is still the attitude upheld in handling ethnic relations. In the face of major changes in the world unseen in a century, it is all the more necessary to uphold the principle of openness and inclusiveness, better understand and respect each other's cultural differences, and reduce misunderstandings and contradictions. With the goal of cultural diversity, actively promote the excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups, provide a high-quality environment and development platform for the display and exchange of ethnic cultures, deepen the research on the excellent traditional culture of ethnic minorities, and rely on traditional ethnic festivals and other carriers to promote the better dissemination of the excellent cultures of various ethnic groups.
03
To keep the integrity and innovation
Gather the spiritual power of exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups
"Integrity" is to establish roots, "innovation" is to seek progress, integrity and innovation are integrated and complementary, reflecting the dialectical unity of cultural inheritance and development. The excellent traditional Chinese culture contains the same spiritual characteristics, constituting the emotional bond of close connection of all ethnic groups, adhering to Marxist cultural theory, adhering to integrity and innovation, so that the Chinese cultural gene glows with vigorous vitality, promotes the deep affection of all ethnic groups, helps each other, and constantly gathers the spiritual strength of national unity, and jointly writes a magnificent chapter of national prosperity and strength.
The Chinese nation has unique and profound values and cultural concepts, and has outstanding continuity. To uphold integrity is to keep the "roots" of culture and draw nourishment from the excellent traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese civilization has the enterprising spirit of "keeping the right and not the old, respecting the past and not going back to the past", and has shown outstanding innovation. Innovation is to reform the old and bring forth the new with the spirit of the times, advance with the times, activate the vitality of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and develop the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, which has deep roots and leaves. Adhering to the excellent traditional Chinese culture is not only a respect for the historical context, but also a cherishing of the profound cultural heritage. Persisting in development in the course of inheritance can give new connotations and vitality to the forms and contents of exchanges among various ethnic groups.
The most important point in the integrity and innovation of Chinese culture is to correctly understand and inherit patriotism, the national heart and soul, and do a good job in patriotic education in the new era. Rooted in the fertile soil of the mainland's history and culture, patriotism contains a powerful force to promote national identity and national identity, and is the core value of promoting exchanges and integration among various ethnic groups. Patriotism has enabled the Chinese nation to endure vicissitudes and hardships, and to stand majestically among the nations of the world. A history of the development of the Chinese nation is a history of the people of all nationalities striving for self-improvement, coping with dangers and challenges together, resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and saving the country, as well as a history of patriotism. The great motherland is the common home of all ethnic groups in China, and in the important historical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the construction of ethnic areas should give patriotism a new modern form of expression in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of the new era, further carry forward the spirit of patriotism in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promote the exchanges, exchanges and integration of all ethnic groups, and promote the Chinese nation to become a community with a higher degree of identity and stronger cohesion, so that all ethnic groups can unite into "a piece of hard steel" under the banner of the party.
Standing at a new historical starting point, we must be guided by Xi Jinping Cultural Thought and correctly understand the dialectical unity relationship between "change" and "unchanged" cultural inheritance. We should guard culture well and grasp the correct direction for the prosperity and development of socialist culture. Innovate culture, based on the historical heritage of the Chinese nation, create new ideas, new mechanisms and new forms of discourse expression of various ethnic groups, and achieve common prosperity and build a better future with a broader vision and deeper cultural understanding. Adhere to integrity and innovation, provide a more powerful spiritual impetus and a broader space for practice for the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, provide a stable emotional bond for the people of all ethnic groups to communicate and blend, and build a beautiful situation in which the people of all ethnic groups "breathe together, share the same destiny, and are heart-to-heart".
"The Chinese nation has been forged through exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also be realized through exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups." Exchanges, exchanges and integration are the only way to enhance national unity, forge a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, and promote the building of a community of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "we must hold high the banner of the great unity of the Chinese nation and promote the common struggle of all ethnic groups to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way as an important task of the party's ethnic work in the new journey." Ethnic unity is the cornerstone of the consolidation and growth of the Chinese national community, and safeguarding ethnic unity is an important connotation of China's excellent traditional culture. Historically, even at the most critical moment, the community of the Chinese nation has not fallen apart, thanks to ethnic unity and ethnic exchanges, and thanks to the identification of all ethnic groups with the community of the Chinese nation. History shows that various ethnic groups on the mainland have continued to engage in exchanges, exchanges, and blending, and have gradually formed a community of solidarity, weal and woe, life and death, and destiny. The recognition of the community of the Chinese nation has played a decisive role in the process of the formation and development of the Chinese nation, and we should resolutely safeguard the unity of the motherland and strengthen national unity.
