Shouldering the New Cultural Mission with a High Degree of Cultural Consciousness

金民卿:以高度文化自觉担负起新的文化使命

· · Sinicization of Marxism · Economic Daily, 23 October 2023 · 12 min read

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, propaganda, ideology, and cultural work have achieved historic accomplishments and undergone historic transformations. Comrade Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas, viewpoints, and judgments on cultural construction in the New Era, forming Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, which provides a powerful ideological weapon and a scientific guide for action to carry out propaganda, ideology, and cultural work on the new journey of the New Era and to shoulder the new cultural mission. On June 2 this year, at the Symposium on Cultural Heritage and Development, Comrade Xi Jinping proposed that “continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a strong cultural country, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from a new starting point is our new cultural mission in the New Era.” [1]1 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Symposium on Cultural Heritage and Inheritance," *Qiushi*, 2023, no. 14. Recently, Comrade Xi Jinping issued important instructions on propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, once again emphasizing “centering on the new cultural mission of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a strong cultural country, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from a new historical starting point, strengthening cultural confidence, upholding openness and inclusiveness, and adhering to integrity and innovation.” [2]2 The "seven focuses" (七个着力) refer to the seven key tasks outlined by Xi Jinping in his instruction on propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, as quoted in paragraph [P1]. On the new journey, we must deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, grasp the scientific connotation of the new cultural mission in the New Era, clarify the goals and requirements of cultural construction in the New Era, innovate the paths and methods of cultural construction, more effectively promote the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and shoulder the new cultural mission with a high degree of cultural consciousness.

党的十八大以来,在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想科学指引下,宣传思想文化工作取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革。习近平总书记在新时代文化建设方面提出了一系列新思想新观点新论断,形成了习近平文化思想,为做好新时代新征程宣传思想文化工作、担负起新的文化使命提供了强大思想武器和科学行动指南。今年6月2日,习近平总书记在文化传承发展座谈会上提出,“在新的起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明,是我们在新时代新的文化使命”。近日,习近平总书记对宣传思想文化工作作出重要指示,再次突出强调“围绕在新的历史起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明这一新的文化使命,坚定文化自信,秉持开放包容,坚持守正创新”。新征程上,我们要深入学习贯彻习近平文化思想,把握新时代新的文化使命的科学内涵,明晰新时代文化建设的目标与要求,创新文化建设的路径和方法,更有力地推进中华民族现代文明建设,以高度文化自觉担负起新的文化使命。

A High Degree of Cultural Consciousness and Sense of Responsibility Based on the Requirements of the Times

基于时代要求的高度文化自觉和责任担当

The major theoretical judgments and strategic decisions of the Chinese Communists are all established on an objective basis of the times and reality, and the same applies to the new cultural mission in the New Era. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “On the new journey of the New Era, changes unseen in a century are accelerating, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period, strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, and propaganda, ideology, and cultural work face new situations and new tasks, which must be met with new atmospheres and new achievements.” [3] This important judgment profoundly elucidates that the new cultural mission in the New Era arises from the task requirements of the New Era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and is proposed based on the reality of the accelerating changes unseen in a century and the critical period of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

中国共产党人的重大理论判断和战略决策,都是建立在客观的时代依据和现实基础之上的,新时代新的文化使命也是如此。习近平总书记指出:“新时代新征程,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期,战略机遇和风险挑战并存,宣传思想文化工作面临新形势新任务,必须要有新气象新作为。”这一重要论断深刻阐明了新时代新的文化使命是基于中国特色社会主义新时代的任务要求而产生的,是基于世界百年未有之大变局加速演进和中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期的现实基础而提出的。

The new cultural mission in the New Era is directly related to the historical juncture of the New Era and its task requirements. The entry of socialism with Chinese characteristics into the New Era is a major event of great practical significance and profound historical significance for the cause of the Party and the people. In this New Era, we must continue to win the great victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively build a modern socialist country, gradually achieve common prosperity for all the people, strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and continuously make greater contributions to humanity. The completion of each of these tasks is inseparable from cultural construction. In the New Era, the principal contradiction in Chinese society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. The people’s pursuit of a better life also includes spiritual and cultural aspects. The reality is that, in terms of the supply and satisfaction of public cultural resources and the coordinated development of material and cultural-ethical progress, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development is still relatively prominent. This requires that we must attach great importance to cultural construction in the New Era and better promote the well-rounded development of people and the overall progress of society.

新时代新的文化使命同新时代的历史方位及其任务要求直接相关。中国特色社会主义进入新时代,是对党和人民事业具有重大现实意义和深远历史意义的大事。在这个新时代,要继续夺取中国特色社会主义伟大胜利、全面建设社会主义现代化强国、逐步实现全体人民共同富裕、奋力实现中华民族伟大复兴、不断为人类作出更大贡献,其中每一项任务的完成都离不开文化建设。新时代我国社会主要矛盾已经转化为人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾,人民对美好生活的追求中也包含着精神文化等方面的内容。现实情况是,在公共文化资源的供给和满足、物质文明和精神文明的协调发展等方面,不平衡不充分发展的问题还较为突出,这就要求必须高度重视新时代文化建设,更好地推动人的全面发展和社会全面进步。

Currently, changes unseen in a century are accelerating, profound changes are taking place in the world’s political and economic landscape, world multipolarity, economic globalization, social informatization, and cultural diversification are developing in depth, and ideologies and cultures are interacting and contending on a global scale, bringing many risks and challenges to China’s ideology and cultural security. This requires that we must, with creative and scientific ideological theories and major cultural achievements, respond to various uncertainties from a strategic height and ideological depth, and answer various new questions of the world and of the times.

当前,世界百年未有之大变局正在加速演进,世界政治经济格局发生深刻变化,世界多极化、经济全球化、社会信息化、文化多样化深入发展,世界范围内思想文化相互激荡,给我国的意识形态和文化安全带来诸多风险挑战。这就要求我们必须以创造性的、科学的思想理论和重大文化成果,从战略高度和思想深度上去应对各种不确定性因素,回答各种新的世界之问、时代之问。

At the same time, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC pointed out: “From now on, the central task of the Chinese Communists is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to comprehensively build a modern socialist country, achieve the Second Centenary Goal, and comprehensively advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization.” [4] Realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation means achieving national prosperity, national rejuvenation, and people’s happiness, which places many new tasks and requirements on cultural construction. Chinese-path modernization must not only achieve material prosperity for the people but also spiritual prosperity for the people; it must not only create abundant material wealth but also create precious spiritual wealth. All of this is inseparable from the flourishing development of culture.

同时,中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期。党的二十大报告指出,“从现在起,中国共产党的中心任务就是团结带领全国各族人民全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标,以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴”。实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦,就是要实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福,这就对文化建设提出了更多新的任务和要求。中国式现代化不仅要实现人民物质生活富裕而且要实现人民精神生活富裕,不仅要创造雄厚的物质财富而且要创造宝贵的精神财富,这都离不开文化的繁荣发展。

The times have raised new questions and new requirements. Whether we can consciously grasp these questions and requirements and formulate correct strategic countermeasures to complete the tasks is a major test for the Chinese Communists in the New Era. Comrade Xi Jinping, conforming to the general trend of historical development and grasping the pulse of the progress of the times, clearly proposed “continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a strong cultural country, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from a new historical starting point,” fully reflecting the high degree of cultural consciousness and sense of responsibility of the Chinese Communists in the New Era.

时代提出了新问题和新要求,能否自觉把握这些问题和要求,制定正确的战略对策来完成任务,是对新时代中国共产党人的重大考验。习近平总书记顺应历史发展大势,把握时代进步脉搏,明确提出“在新的历史起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明”,充分体现了新时代中国共产党人的高度文化自觉和责任担当。

Completing the Goals and Tasks of Building the Modern Civilization of the Chinese Nation

完成好建设中华民族现代文明的目标任务

Comrade Xi Jinping emphasized, “We must strengthen cultural confidence, shoulder the mission, work hard and make achievements, and jointly strive to create a new culture belonging to our era and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.” [5] We must deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, deeply grasp the prominent characteristics of Chinese civilization, adhere to the Two Integrations, shoulder the new cultural mission in the New Era, and complete the goals and tasks of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

习近平总书记强调,“要坚定文化自信、担当使命、奋发有为,共同努力创造属于我们这个时代的新文化,建设中华民族现代文明”。我们要深入学习贯彻习近平文化思想,深刻把握中华文明的突出特性,坚持“两个结合”,担负起新时代新的文化使命,完成好建设中华民族现代文明的目标任务。

To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must firmly adhere to the guiding position of Marxism and take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide. This is the soul of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Without this, the modern civilization of the Chinese nation will lose its correct direction

建设中华民族现代文明,必须牢牢坚持马克思主义指导地位,坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,这是中华民族现代文明的魂脉。离开了这一点,中华民族现代文明就会失去正确方向。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义,是中华文化和中国精神的时代精华,实现了马克思主义中国化时代化新的飞跃,为建设中华民族现代文明提供了科学指南和根本遵循,能够使其始终沿着正确方向发展。

To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to inherit and continue the root of fine traditional Chinese culture. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation did not emerge out of thin air; it is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese civilization. Fine traditional Chinese culture contains many important elements that together shape the prominent continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peacefulness of Chinese civilization, accumulating a profound cultural foundation and providing rich wisdom and nourishment for the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. Chinese culture has a long and continuous history, and Chinese civilization is extensive and profound. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Only by comprehensively and deeply understanding the history of Chinese civilization can we more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, more forcefully advance the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation." [1]1 Xi Jinping, "Speech at the Symposium on Cultural Heritage and Inheritance," *Qiushi*, 2023, no. 14. In building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must be faithful inheritors and promoters of fine traditional Chinese culture, promote the revitalization of fine traditional Chinese culture with new vitality, and realize the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization in the New Era.

建设中华民族现代文明,必须传承赓续中华优秀传统文化这个根脉。中华民族现代文明不是凭空产生的,而是深植于中华文明的丰沃土壤之中。中华优秀传统文化有很多重要元素,共同塑造出中华文明突出的连续性、创新性、统一性、包容性、和平性,为中华民族现代文明积淀了深厚文化根基、提供了丰富智慧滋养。中国文化源远流长,中华文明博大精深。习近平总书记指出,“只有全面深入了解中华文明的历史,才能更有效地推动中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展,更有力地推进中国特色社会主义文化建设,建设中华民族现代文明”。我们建设中华民族现代文明,就要做中华优秀传统文化的忠实继承者和弘扬者,推动中华优秀传统文化焕发出新的生机活力,实现中华文明在新时代的传承发展。

To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, it is necessary not only to fully inherit and promote the essence of fine traditional Chinese culture but also to fully absorb all outstanding achievements of human civilization. It must connect the past and the present while integrating China and foreign countries, thereby demonstrating a high degree of cultural confidence and self-strengthening quality as well as strong vitality and communicative power.

建设中华民族现代文明,既要充分传承弘扬中华优秀传统文化的精华,又要充分吸收人类一切优秀文明成果,既贯通古今,又融汇中外,从而彰显高度的文化自信自强品质和强大生命力传播力。

探索建设中华民族现代文明的方法路径

In his important instruction on propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised, "Focus on strengthening the Party's leadership over propaganda, ideology, and cultural work; focus on building a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power; focus on fostering and practising the core socialist values; focus on enhancing the communication, guidance, influence, and credibility of news and public opinion; focus on continuing the Chinese cultural lineage and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture; focus on promoting the flourishing development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries; focus on strengthening international communication capacity and promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilisations." It can be said that these "seven focuses" [2]2 The "seven focuses" (七个着力) refer to the seven key tasks outlined by Xi Jinping in his instruction on propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, as quoted in paragraph [P1]. chart the methodological path for building the modern civilisation of the Chinese nation.

习近平总书记在对宣传思想文化工作作出的重要指示中强调,“着力加强党对宣传思想文化工作的领导,着力建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态,着力培育和践行社会主义核心价值观,着力提升新闻舆论传播力引导力影响力公信力,着力赓续中华文脉、推动中华优秀传统文化创造性转化和创新性发展,着力推动文化事业和文化产业繁荣发展,着力加强国际传播能力建设、促进文明交流互鉴”。可以说,这“七个着力”规划了建设中华民族现代文明的方法路径。

At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly elucidated the great significance of the "Two Integrations," pointing out that the "Two Integrations" are the greatest magic weapon for our success. The "Second Integration" is our Party's profound summary of the historical experience of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, and a profound grasp of the laws governing the development of Chinese civilisation. It indicates that our Party has reached a new height in its consciousness of promoting cultural innovation while inheriting fine traditional Chinese culture. On the new journey of the New Era, to undertake the new cultural mission, it is especially necessary to make good use of the "Second Integration," fully explore the compatibility between Marxism and fine traditional Chinese culture, and promote the mutual achievement of Marxism and fine traditional Chinese culture in the process of organic integration; to make Marxism Chinese and fine traditional Chinese culture modern, so that the modern civilisation of the Chinese nation gains more powerful ideological guidance and a deeper cultural foundation; to open up broader cultural space, obtain richer cultural resources, and create more cultural innovation achievements; to form a more prominent and more consolidated cultural subjectivity, and gain firmer historical confidence, cultural confidence, and cultural consciousness.

在文化传承发展座谈会上,习近平总书记深刻阐释“两个结合”的重大意义,指出“两个结合”是我们取得成功的最大法宝。“第二个结合”,是我们党对马克思主义中国化时代化历史经验的深刻总结,是对中华文明发展规律的深刻把握,表明我们党在传承中华优秀传统文化中推进文化创新的自觉性达到了新高度。在新时代新征程上担负起新的文化使命,尤其要运用好“第二个结合”,充分发掘马克思主义和中华优秀传统文化的契合性,推动马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化在有机结合的过程中互相成就;让马克思主义成为中国的,中华优秀传统文化成为现代的,使中华民族现代文明获得更加有力的思想指导、更加深厚的文化根基;开拓更加广阔的文化空间,获得更加丰富的文化资源,创造更多的文化创新成果;形成更加突出、更加巩固的文化主体性,获得更加坚定的历史自信、文化自信、文化自觉。

To undertake the new cultural mission of the New Era, we must follow the inherent requirements of cultural development, strengthen cultural confidence, uphold openness and inclusiveness, and adhere to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground. Strengthening cultural confidence means adhering to self-confidence and self-reliance, achieving spiritual independence, unswervingly following our own path, and upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must enhance confidence in the path, confidence in the theory, confidence in the system, and confidence in the culture, enhance historical confidence and historical initiative, form an autonomous theoretical system with a high degree of cultural subjectivity, and construct a discourse system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. We must vigorously promote the great spirit of struggle, and bravely wage resolute struggles against various interferences from external forces. Upholding openness and inclusiveness means inheriting and developing fine traditional Chinese culture, promoting the localisation of foreign cultures, and continuously cultivating and creating socialist culture with Chinese characteristics for the New Era. Chinese civilisation has a prominent characteristic of inclusiveness, which fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the Chinese nation's interactions, exchanges, and integration, and its open-mindedness to embrace diverse cultures. Adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times is an organic integration based on respecting differences and exploring compatibility, that is, the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and with fine traditional Chinese culture. The flourishing development of culture in the New Era must inherit valuable experience, adopt an open and inclusive attitude to connect civilisations past and present, Chinese and foreign, and create new forms of civilisation. Adhering to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground means highlighting the strong resolve of Chinese Communists in the New Era, adhering to the fundamental system of Marxism's guiding position in the ideological domain, adhering to the fundamental requirement of the "Two Integrations," adhering to the Party's overall leadership over cultural construction, and adhering to the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation; fully unleashing the innovative spirit of Chinese Communists in the New Era, opening up new practices, forming new ideas, refining new viewpoints, exploring new mechanisms, and creating new achievements in cultural construction, adhering to dialectical selection and elimination, achieving innovation through discarding the outdated, and opening up new realms for the development of Chinese civilisation.

担负起新时代新的文化使命,必须遵循文化发展内在要求,坚定文化自信、秉持开放包容、坚持守正创新。坚定文化自信,就是要坚持自信自立,实现精神上的独立自主,坚定不移地走自己的路,坚持和发展中国特色社会主义。要增强道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信,增强历史自信和历史主动,以高度的文化主体性形成自主性的理论体系,建构中国特色哲学社会科学话语体系。要大力弘扬伟大斗争精神,勇于同各种外来势力干扰进行坚决斗争。秉持开放包容,就是要传承发展中华优秀传统文化,促进外来文化本土化,不断培育和创造新时代中国特色社会主义文化。中华文明具有突出的包容性特征,这种包容性从根本上决定了中华民族交往交流交融的历史取向和兼收并蓄的开放胸怀。马克思主义中国化时代化,就是尊重差异性、发掘契合性基础上的有机结合,即马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际、同中华优秀传统文化的结合。新时代文化繁荣发展要传承宝贵经验,以开放包容的态度贯通古今中外文明、创造新的文明形态。坚持守正创新,就是要突出新时代中国共产党人的强大定力,坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度,坚持“两个结合”的根本要求,坚持党对文化建设的全面领导,坚持中华民族的文化主体性;充分发挥新时代中国共产党人的创新精神,在文化建设中开拓新实践、形成新思路、提炼新观点、探索新机制、创造新成就,坚持辩证取舍,做到推陈出新,开辟中华文明发展的新境界。

To undertake the new cultural mission of the New Era, we must continue to promote cultural flourishing and build a strong cultural country. We must persist in arming the entire Party and educating the people with the Party's innovative theories, enhance the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people, build a socialist cultural powerhouse around the tasks of raising high our banners, uniting the people, nurturing new generations, invigorating culture, and presenting a good image of China, develop a socialist culture that is national, scientific, and popular, oriented towards modernisation, the world, and the future, stimulate the cultural creativity and innovation of the entire nation, and strengthen the spiritual strength for realising the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership over propaganda, ideology, and cultural work, adhere to the fundamental system of Marxism's guiding position in the ideological domain, advance the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, and build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power; adhere to serving the people and serving socialism, adhere to the principle of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and adhere to creative transformation and innovative development; adhere to being guided by the core socialist values, so that the entire people are closely united in ideals, values, and moral concepts, and raise the level of social civility; develop advanced socialist culture, promote revolutionary culture, inherit fine traditional Chinese culture, strengthen the protection and utilisation of cultural relics and the preservation and inheritance of cultural heritage, safeguard the Chinese cultural lineage, and let Chinese culture display its enduring charm and contemporary style; accelerate the construction of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, take China's actual conditions as the starting point for research, interpret the Chinese path, explain Chinese practice, and construct Chinese theories; enhance the communication, guidance, influence, and credibility of news and public opinion, promote the main theme and spread positive energy, consolidate and strengthen the mainstream ideological and public opinion that strives forward in the New Era; adhere to a people-centered approach, flourish and develop cultural undertakings and cultural industries, meet the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs, consolidate the common ideological foundation for the united struggle of the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country, forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and build a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation; continuously enhance the country's cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture, strengthen international communication capacity, tell China's stories well, and promote Chinese culture to better reach the world; promote the common values of all humanity, promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilisations, and enrich the garden of world civilisations.

担负起新时代新的文化使命,必须继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国。要坚持用党的创新理论武装全党、教育人民,增强中华民族和中国人民的文化自信,围绕举旗帜、聚民心、育新人、兴文化、展形象建设社会主义文化强国,发展面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来的,民族的科学的大众的社会主义文化,激发全民族文化创新创造活力,增强实现中华民族伟大复兴的精神力量。要坚持和加强党对宣传思想文化工作的全面领导,坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度,推进马克思主义中国化时代化,建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态;坚持为人民服务、为社会主义服务,坚持百花齐放、百家争鸣,坚持创造性转化、创新性发展;坚持以社会主义核心价值观为引领,使全体人民在理想信念、价值理念、道德观念上紧紧团结在一起,提高全社会文明程度;发展社会主义先进文化,弘扬革命文化,传承中华优秀传统文化,加强文物保护利用和文化遗产保护传承,守护好中华文脉,让中华文化展现出永久魅力和时代风采;加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学,以我国实际为研究起点,阐释中国道路、解读中国实践、构建中国理论;提高新闻舆论传播力引导力影响力公信力,弘扬主旋律、传播正能量,巩固壮大奋进新时代的主流思想舆论;坚持以人民为中心,繁荣发展文化事业和文化产业,满足人民日益增长的精神文化需求,巩固全党全国各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础,铸牢中华民族共同体意识,建设中华民族共有精神家园;不断提升国家文化软实力和中华文化影响力,加强国际传播能力建设,讲好中国故事,推动中华文化更好走向世界;弘扬全人类共同价值,推动文明交流互鉴,丰富世界文明百花园。

In summary, on the new journey of the New Era, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, follow the laws of cultural development, summarise historical experience, reflect the requirements of the times, focus on future development, build the modern civilisation of the Chinese nation, and provide a strong ideological guarantee, powerful spiritual strength, and favourable cultural conditions for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

总之,在新时代新征程上,我们必须坚持以习近平文化思想为指导,遵循文化发展规律,总结历史经验,反映时代要求,着眼未来发展,建设中华民族现代文明,为全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面推进中华民族伟大复兴提供坚强思想保证、强大精神力量、有利文化条件。
