What efforts should be made to enhance cultural self-confidence

The strategy and call for building a strong socialist culture put forward by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee are encouraging and inspiring. This marks the cultural consciousness of the Chinese nation to a new height, the cultural self-confidence of the Chinese nation to a new height, and the formulation of our party's cultural strategy to a new height. With this conference as a symbol, the Chinese nation will stride towards the road of a modern cultural power, bid farewell to the history of a culturally weak country formed by the oppression of internal and external reactionary forces since modern times, and welcome the revival of Chinese culture and even the all-round rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

there are many things to be done to build a strong cultural country, but further enhancing the cultural self-confidence of the whole nation needs to be given priority. How can we enhance the cultural self-confidence of the whole nation? It is necessary to vigorously get rid of cultural inferiority, cultural weakness and cultural defense; Scientifically grasp the historical position of China's cultural construction; Constantly enhance national cultural self-confidence in the practice of cultural construction.

It is necessary to vigorously break the psychological inferiority complex and weak psychological defense psychology

Under the current situation, it is of great significance to enhance the cultural self-confidence of the whole nation. The problem of cultural self-confidence is put forward for our nation's cultural self-confidence, that is, for cultural inferiority, cultural weakness and cultural defense.

as we all know, Chinese culture has a history of 5, years, and it has been ahead of the world several times, which has cultivated the heroic and confident spirit of the Chinese nation, but the situation has been reversed in modern times. After the Opium War, under the pressure of external imperialism and internal feudal forces, our national culture gradually declined and was in a weak state for a long time. Our people, including intellectuals, have formed a serious weak cultural psychology because of their long-term backwardness and beatings. Not only our ordinary people often hold their heads up in front of foreigners, but even the academic elites have little confidence. The arguments about "Chinese style serves western purposes" and "western style serves Chinese purposes" that have been debated since the end of Qing Dynasty, although the specific contents of the arguments are different, all of them imply the same weak cultural psychology.

This kind of cultural inferiority complex, weak psychology and defensive psychology still exists consciously or unconsciously to varying degrees today. For example, some people worship foreign things and obsess over foreigners. They always think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China, so they copy it, eat foreign things, and mistake the country and the people. Some people are closed and conservative, afraid to contact foreign cultures, cling to tradition, and even want to transform China with some traditional ideas; Some people are strong on the surface, criticizing western culture fiercely, and denying the same sex of world culture with China's theory of cultural particularity. In fact, they dare not face the world culture and participate in international cultural dialogue. This is still a manifestation of cultural weakness and defensive psychology. All these kinds of cultural inferiority complex have seriously affected our cultural construction, especially the implementation of our cultural "going out" strategy.

for more than 1 years, people of insight have been working hard to inspire our nation's cultural self-confidence. Sun Yat-sen proposed to "rejuvenate China" and Mao Zedong proposed to create our new culture. After the reform and opening up, China * * * producers, represented by Deng Xiaoping, proposed to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture. Especially in the past 3 years, we have made brilliant achievements in economic and political construction, and at the same time, we have also made a series of achievements in cultural construction, which has attracted more and more attention from the international community, which has greatly stimulated the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation.

We should take this meeting as the driving force, reflect on our cultural ideas more consciously, fundamentally eliminate the cultural inferiority complex that has remained in the heart of our nation for more than 1 years, enhance our cultural self-confidence, build our new culture with swagger, and welcome the great rejuvenation of Chinese culture. This is an important ideological guarantee for us to build a socialist cultural power.

We need to scientifically grasp the historical position of China's cultural construction

To enhance cultural self-confidence, we should not be blindly optimistic, but deeply analyze the historical position of our cultural construction. No matter from domestic or international perspective, our cultural construction is at an extremely important historical turning point and is undergoing a qualitative leap.

domestically, the modernization process of China culture is taking place and will continue to undergo major qualitative changes. The transformation of China culture from traditional form to modern form began with the May 4th New Culture Movement. During the May 4th Movement, Marxist culture was introduced into China. Under the impetus of China's * * * Production Party, China culture gradually surpassed the traditional culture and formed a modern China culture with Marxism as the core. China's modern cultural system includes modern discourse system, philosophical thinking mode, philosophy and social science, social ideology and culture, mass culture and so on. Due to historical reasons, we used to learn from foreign experience, especially the Soviet experience, in the construction of cultural system in the past. After the reform and opening-up, we gradually explored the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Especially after entering the new century, our party vigorously implemented the research and construction project of Marxist theory, promoted the innovation of Marxist theory, and at the same time, comprehensively strengthened the construction of socialist culture, relying entirely on our own strength, and gradually creatively formed a socialist cultural system with China characteristics, China style and China style. For example, the construction of more than 15 university philosophy and social science textbooks that we are promoting will fully reflect Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theory and practice, and many of them are advanced ideas that can lead the development of human society, which will not only profoundly affect the descendants of the Chinese nation, but also affect people all over the world. At the same time, with the rapid development of China's economy and society and the improvement of people's living standards, the proportion of cultural production and consumption in economic and social development is getting higher and higher, and the people's demand for cultural life is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, the cultural concept of our people will change, the motive force of cultural innovation will increase rapidly, the cultural products will become increasingly rich, and the cultural innovation system will become increasingly perfect. In a word, the conditions for building a cultural power are becoming increasingly mature.

from an international perspective, cultural relations between China and foreign countries, especially between China and the West, are undergoing and will continue to undergo major qualitative changes. Since modern times, the situation that culture is strong in the west and weak in me has existed for a long time. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of China's economy and society and the continuous improvement of its international status, China's culture has attracted more and more attention from the world. China's foreign cultural exchange is undergoing a qualitative change, starting from closing to opening, from passivity to initiative, from surface to deep, from introducing culture to exporting culture. In a word, it is gradually from weakness to strength, from the edge of the world cultural stage to the center.

This qualitative change in China's cultural development will fundamentally touch and profoundly change the cultural psychology, cultural concept and thinking mode of our national tradition. Generally speaking, when a culture is in a strong state, cultural subjects often have a kind of cultural self-confidence, for example, they often describe their own culture as a culture with universal significance and publicize their influence; When a culture is in a weak state, cultural subjects often have a sense of cultural inferiority, and often reject a strong culture with their own cultural specialization. The qualitative change of China's cultural development will greatly enhance the cultural self-confidence of the whole nation, and thus bring about a series of changes in the concept and mode of cultural development, and promote the great prosperity of cultural development and cultural international exchanges.

however, it is also necessary to prevent overcorrection. We should not only see the opportunities and advantages of our cultural development, but also scientifically analyze the challenges and shortcomings faced by our cultural development. We should be soberly aware that our cultural construction is far from meeting the needs of the people; The situation that culture is strong in the west and weak in me will not change in the short term; Although our economic and social development has made remarkable achievements, there is still a big gap with developed countries. Moreover, there is still a long way to go to sum up our experience and sublimate it into an advanced culture that leads the contemporary world, including advanced discourse system, philosophical thinking mode, humanities and social sciences, and gain wide recognition from people all over the world. Only by keeping a clear head at all times can we accurately grasp the historical position of our cultural development at home and abroad and formulate scientific development strategies and tactics. This is true for countries, places and cultural enterprises. To carry out in-depth investigation and study, accurately judge the trend of cultural development, dare to admit the gap between our cultural development, actively learn from the advanced cultures of all countries in the world, actively participate in international cultural exchanges, scientifically respond to various challenges, and constantly strengthen our own culture, all of which are the proper meanings of cultural self-confidence and mature cultural concepts.

constantly enhance national cultural self-confidence in the practice of cultural construction

To enhance cultural self-confidence, we should take Scientific Outlook on Development as a guide and vigorously promote the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through culture. Promote cultural construction with cultural self-confidence, and constantly enhance the cultural self-confidence of our nation in the practice of cultural construction.

to enhance cultural self-confidence, we should know fairly well, fully understand and firmly implement the strategy of strengthening the country through culture. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China discussed this completely, which is to take the cultural road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. To adhere to the direction of socialist cultural development, we should not take the capitalist cultural road, let alone return to the old feudal cultural road. The goal of cultural construction is to promote scientific development and meet the growing cultural needs of the people. The core task of cultural construction is to build a socialist core value system and create a beautiful spiritual home for our people. The Sixth Plenary Session also made scientific arrangements for the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through culture, and put forward many concrete measures, including promoting the development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries in a down-to-earth manner, safeguarding our cultural security, and promoting China culture to "go global".

The Sixth Plenary Session has drawn a grand blueprint for China's future cultural development, but it needs the concerted efforts of the whole nation to turn this ideal into reality. There is a lot of work to be done in various categories in the cultural field, and each has its own characteristics, but the following aspects should be essential. First, we should hold high the banner of Marxism, especially the banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to vigorously promote the research and construction of Marxist theory, which is the leader of China's cultural construction and cannot be relaxed at any time. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the socialist core value system, which is the work of forging the spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation and the foundation of forging the advanced culture of mankind, and is of special significance. Third, we should strengthen the construction of China's modern discourse system, which is the basis for forging the brick of culture and striving for the right to speak. Fourth, we should strengthen the construction of science and technology education, philosophy and social sciences, which is a hard-core construction of culture and plays an important role in the long-term development of culture. Fifth, we should strengthen social ideological and cultural construction, including press and publication, film and television, network information, etc. This is the construction of cultural software, which determines the attraction and appeal of culture. Sixth, we should strengthen the construction of mass culture, which is the cultural construction in daily life and determines the trend of social fashion. Seventh, we should strengthen the construction of cultural carriers, including cultural centers and educational bases, so as to provide places for people to receive lifelong education. Eighth, it is necessary to strengthen the cultural "going out" work, strive for the right to speak in international culture, participate in and lead the world cultural development trend, which ultimately determines the revival of Chinese culture and the realization of the goal of strengthening the country through culture.

In short, only through the concerted efforts of the whole nation can our national cultural self-confidence be continuously enhanced, and China culture be continuously developed and strengthened, which will not only benefit the people of China, but also lead the development of world civilization and make new contributions to the construction of a harmonious world.
