Cultural self-confidence points to both history and reality.
Cultural self-confidence pointing to history means cherishing our excellent traditional culture, scientifically exploring the factors crossing time and space, and promoting its creative transformation and innovative development. Cultural self-confidence in reality means fully affirming the outstanding achievements of advanced socialist culture, affirming the positive significance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in realizing the dream of national rejuvenation and promoting the development of human civilization, and firmly believing that the Chinese nation will surely create new glories in culture.
To establish and enhance cultural self-confidence, we should not only get rid of cultural and historical nihilism, but also respect and proudly treat Chinese excellent traditional culture; We should also get rid of the "realistic nihilism" of culture, praise and fully promote cultural innovation and creation. Cultural self-confidence based on reality has more core significance in the overall pattern of cultural self-confidence. Only by constantly enhancing this cultural self-confidence can we truly promote the great development and prosperity of socialist culture and constantly broaden the road to a strong socialist culture. In recent years, with the party and the country vigorously promoting and advocating excellent traditional culture, with the deepening understanding of the law of cultural development and rational thinking on the tortuous course of Chinese cultural development, people's respect and confidence in Chinese excellent traditional culture have gradually increased. How to establish and strengthen cultural self-confidence based on reality has become a major issue that we need to pay close attention to.
The development and progress of contemporary China is the source of cultural self-confidence.
Generally speaking, the continuous enhancement of self-confidence is a remarkable feature of the Chinese nation's mental outlook in today's era. The rise of China's economy, the progress of science and technology, and the enhancement of its international influence are attracting more and more world attention and increasing the confidence of China people. However, when it comes to contemporary China culture, some people seem to lack confidence and confidence. Indeed, compared with the rapid promotion of hard power and the height and influence of Chinese culture in the world cultural pattern in history, the cultural construction of contemporary China still has a long way to go. However, while seeing this realistic urgency, we should also see the deep integration of economy, politics and culture, and see the promotion of cultural soft power to the promotion of hard power.
As a spiritual achievement, culture comes from practice and reacts to it. The practice here not only refers to the practice of cultural construction, but also refers to the practice of economic construction, political construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction. These practices all contain cultural creation and are concrete practices in which the existing cultural achievements and cultural conditions play a role. The practical process of contemporary China's development and progress can not be separated from the support and promotion of seemingly invisible but real cultural forces; At the same time, this development and progress also laid a material foundation for the new development of culture and accumulated spiritual energy. Without cultural factors, the "China miracle" cannot be fully explained; Without the overall process of development and progress in contemporary China, it is impossible to thoroughly grasp the objective reality of cultural development in contemporary China. We should see the cultural strength and significance embodied in the overall pattern of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's construction, and read out our due cultural self-confidence. The development and progress of contemporary China is the "great source" to support the cultural self-confidence of contemporary China people.
Cultural self-confidence is essentially self-confidence in advanced socialist culture.
The creative practice of contemporary China is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's great practice; Cultural self-confidence in contemporary China is essentially self-confidence in advanced socialist culture. To enhance this cultural self-confidence, we should not only examine the overall pattern of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's construction, but also examine the historical changes of China's culture since modern times, examine the realistic process of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cultural construction, and examine the increasing future-oriented cultural innovation and creativity in contemporary China. China culture once flourished in the world cultural history, but in modern times, its roots and buds gradually withered in the old system, and the flowers and fruits fell under the impact of the western spring tide. To reverse this dilemma and realize the rebirth of China culture is the new democratic revolution led by China's * * * production party and the new culture guided by Marxism. As Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "Since the people of China learned Marxism–Leninism, the people of China have changed from passive to active in spirit. From then on, the era of looking down on China people and China culture in modern world history should be over. The great victory of the China People's Liberation War and the Great People's Revolution has been revived and the culture of the great China people is being revived. " This revival is a historic change and rebirth of Chinese culture in the direction of national, scientific and popular socialist culture.
The practical achievements of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics are vividly and concretely reflected in the development of cultural undertakings, the growth of cultural industries, the construction of public cultural service system and the gradual improvement of cultural market system. A series of data that people relish describe the increasing pace of China's cultural soft power and international competitiveness, attracting the attention and comments of the world. However, compared with all kinds of data, what is more vital and far-reaching is the general awakening of China's cultural consciousness and the historic promotion of the overall cultural quality and cultural construction ability of the Chinese nation. This kind of consciousness, quality and ability are indispensable conditions for the Chinese nation to realize cultural rejuvenation. Starting from the basis and trend of this historical progress, we have more reason to establish and enhance cultural self-confidence.
