How to understand the foundation and source of cultural self-confidence

please ask relevant experts to explain how to know and understand cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence. Q&A Expert: Guo Junming, a professor in the Philosophy Teaching and Research Section of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, literally means self-awareness and awakening in culture. From the academic perspective, "cultural consciousness" is a concept put forward by Mr. Fei Xiaotong in his later years. When talking about multiculturalism in the general trend of globalization, Mr. Fei thinks that people living in a certain cultural and historical circle should have self-knowledge of their own culture, which is called "cultural consciousness". The so-called "self-knowledge" refers to understanding the origin, formation process, characteristics and development trend of one's own culture, that is, fully understanding and understanding the position and role of one's own culture in the historical process. In today's multicultural world, only by realizing cultural consciousness can we stabilize the foundation in the contrast and interaction of different cultures, gain the ability and status of cultural choice, and then enhance our own cultural transformation ability. The subject of cultural consciousness can be a country, a nation, a political party, an organization or even an individual. By cultural consciousness, we mean the cultural awareness and awakening of the state and political parties. The awakening of a nation is first of all a cultural awakening; The strength of a political party depends largely on the degree of cultural consciousness. Whether you have a high degree of cultural consciousness is not only related to the revitalization and prosperity of culture itself, but also determines the future and destiny of a nation and a political party. The cultural consciousness of a country and a political party includes three meanings. First, cultural consciousness is a profound understanding of the position and role of culture in historical progress. Culture has strong permeability and durability, and it has a profound effect on economic and social development and people's production and life. Culture is not only an important means to promote social development, but also an important goal of social civilization and progress. In this sense, cultural consciousness is the deepening of the understanding of cultural significance. Second, cultural consciousness is a correct grasp of the law of cultural development. The culture of any period is the product of historical stages, and the promotion of cultural construction cannot exceed the realistic economic and social conditions; Culture is always presented in rich and varied contents and forms. The culture of any period is born of diversity, and it has always been the primary goal of cultural construction to be neutral in diversity and gain knowledge in diversity. The formation of any cultural achievement is the result of continuous accumulation, which cannot be achieved overnight. The process of cultural consciousness is a process of deepening understanding and scientifically grasping the stages of cultural development, the diversity of cultural composition and the long-term nature of cultural construction. Third, cultural consciousness is the active responsibility for the development of cultural history. Culture is an important source of national cohesion and creativity, an important factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength and an important support for economic and social development. Whether one can hold high one's own cultural banner, establish one's own cultural image and earnestly shoulder the historical responsibility of promoting cultural prosperity and development is the yardstick to measure the cultural consciousness of a political party. Cultural self-confidence refers to a country, a nation and a political party's full affirmation of its own cultural value and firm belief in its own cultural vitality. We can understand cultural self-confidence at three levels. First of all, cultural self-confidence is manifested in the affirmation and persistence of the fine traditions of existing cultures. Chinese civilization is the only uninterrupted cultural system in human history, which is directly related to the cultural self-confidence tradition of the Chinese nation. Cultural self-confidence in this sense is the symbol of national culture and the source of national self-confidence and pride. Secondly, cultural self-confidence is manifested in a rational attitude towards foreign cultures and an open mind. In the face of foreign cultures, not being proud and inferior, and being tolerant of cultural differences are a reflection of confidence in one's own culture; Recognizing that cultures have their own strengths, being able to dialectically choose foreign cultures and actively absorbing their essence for our use is a manifestation of cultural self-confidence. Thirdly, cultural self-confidence is manifested as an active grasp of one's own cultural development prospects. Not reveling in the glory of the past, grasping the trend and trend of cultural development with a long-term vision, bravely promoting the transformation of the existing cultural system, creating new glory in the future development and making new contributions to human civilization, this is the highest embodiment of cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-awareness and cultural self-confidence involve the issues of what kind of perspective to understand culture, what kind of attitude to treat culture and what kind of thinking to develop culture. There is a close internal relationship between self-consciousness and self-confidence, which is an organic unity of interaction and indispensable. Only by adhering to cultural consciousness can we truly achieve cultural self-confidence; Only with cultural self-confidence can we stimulate and deepen cultural consciousness. The goal of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence is the self-improvement and prosperity of culture. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to adhere to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which showed our party's high cultural consciousness. The proposal to build a socialist cultural power shows our party's high cultural self-confidence. Our party's cultural consciousness and self-confidence come from profound historical accumulation.
