China, as the world's second largest economy and a political power with global influence, has amazed the whole world with its rapid rise; but rather than the enthusiasm of bystanders, we should think more calmly about how to Let the overall cultural quality of the Chinese people match our country's status as a world power...

When the Olympic flame is lit in Beijing; when the "Tiangong" hovers lightly in space; when the horn of the Asian Games is blown in Guangzhou; When the World Expo was built in Shanghai; when the "Jiaolong" dived into the sea; when the "Liaoning" set sail on the sea... After the ups and downs of reform and construction, the great China finally rose!

While we are happy and proud of the great progress of our motherland, we should clearly realize that in today's ever-changing international arena, competition between countries is no longer limited to economics, military, and politics. . Today's world seems to value talents more, and the strength of a country is increasingly judged by the quality of its citizens. I have a dream. I hope that China will not only become a big country economically and militarily, but also a "cultural power".

To realize the dream of becoming a “culturally powerful country” is indispensable for the inheritance of our nation’s culture. Five thousand years of history have given birth to Chinese culture that is as bright as the stars. What is sad is that many of our people today ignore the wealth accumulated by their ancestors’ hard work and do not know how to develop it. They are still looking around blindly. Who knows that the Chinese culture around us is an endless cultural treasure. As descendants of the Yan and Huang people, how can we Can this ancient wealth be allowed to flow away in vain?

I have a dream: I hope every Chinese can learn Chinese well. The Chinese language is not only the carrier of Chinese culture, but also the link connecting hundreds of millions of Chinese people. I have always felt that Chinese is the most touching language in the world. It has been infiltrated by human civilization and can be read with such clear and beautiful words. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. It is not only a tool for people to communicate emotions, but also a treasure of Chinese culture. The plain rhyme and the ancient square characters are all-encompassing, and the world in the characters cannot be described by those who understand it...

However, the Chinese people turn a blind eye to this. Nowadays, English is very popular, and we are learning English crazily. Even from kindergarten, children are taught to sing the "ABC" song by their teachers every day. I am not against learning English, but abandoning our mother tongue because of English is absolutely inappropriate. As everyone knows, while we are struggling to memorize English, "Chinese fever" is gradually starting abroad. The mysterious and ancient oriental culture has deeply attracted countless foreigners to learn it.

Chinese is the earliest artistic language expressed in calligraphy in the world. Cursive script, running script and regular script each have their own merits. But now fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and keyboards have long replaced the status of writing brushes. Nowadays, writing brushes have probably become a "rare thing". There are very few people who have ever held a writing brush, and there are even fewer people who can write beautiful calligraphy with calligraphy. In every school, Chinese and mathematics subjects are fully occupied in the curriculum. The children keep looking around, wandering around the longings we hide in our hearts. In the primary school curriculum, the content is not designed to arouse students' interest and innovative spirit. Faced with this reality, shouldn't we reflect on it?

I have a dream: I hope that every Chinese can respect and inherit Chinese traditional culture and customs from the bottom of their hearts. Nowadays, the Chinese people seem to have gradually lost themselves in the process of enthusiastically learning from the West. Some traditional cultural customs with national characteristics are already on the edge of the cliff.

The tea ceremony originated from China. In ancient times, tea was a necessity of life for Chinese people. However, with the development of society and changes in people's concepts, tea gradually withdrew from people's lives. Today, while the Chinese enjoy bitter coffee with relish, Japan has developed the tea ceremony learned from China into its own unique culture. I am afraid that the world only knows the Japanese tea ceremony!

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, accumulated through the hard work of our ancestors. Nowadays, when we spare no effort to celebrate Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, Halloween and Christmas, how many people still remember our Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival? In order to protect these traditional festivals, the country has designated them as legal holidays. But from what I can see, the results are minimal.

These festivals, which are of great significance in Chinese history, seem to many Chinese people today to be just a matter of having a good meal and sleeping in for two days!

Whether it is the previous foreign tourist attractions that specially wrote "Please do not litter anywhere", "Please queue consciously" and other similar slogans in Chinese, or the recent discussion on the Internet that Chinese tourists love to visit buildings when traveling The words "so and so came here for a visit" are engraved on the objects, reminding us of the importance of improving the cultural quality of the people. Therefore, when it comes to the "Chinese Dream", my biggest dream is that our country can become a "cultural power". When people around the world talk about China, they all give a thumbs up to the cultural quality of this country's citizens.

I have a dream: I hope that every Chinese can inherit and carry forward the excellent thought and culture of the Chinese nation. The ideology and culture of a nation is undoubtedly the source of all progressive forces of the nation and an important foundation for improving the ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality of the entire nation. If Confucius were still alive today, when he saw that his thoughts were ignored by his descendants, but many foreigners worshiped him, and Confucius Institutes were spread in many countries around the world, he would "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." When his idea was put up in the United Nations building, I really don’t know whether he should be happy or worried.

The ideas of "benevolence", "righteousness", "propriety" and "faithfulness" advocated by him have influenced generations of Chinese people. However, since the New Culture Movement, Chinese people have begun to abandon Confucian culture. Even though Chinese studies have "revived" today, Chinese people still don't pay enough attention to this cultural treasure.

But it is regrettable that there is still an outflow of many high-tech talents from our country, and I think this is another important reason why our country must develop into a "cultural power". Because only cultural identity and pride can inspire our patriotism. "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Premier Zhou has determined since he was a child to "study for the rise of China." We, our generation, should also strive for China's dream of becoming a "cultural power".

The Chinese Dream is a grand theme
