General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his important speech at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development,China’s excellent traditional culture has many important elements,Together we shape the outstanding characteristics bonus bet365。Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity,It fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must follow its own path。If you don’t understand China from its long historical continuity,It is impossible to understand ancient China,It is impossible to understand modern China,It is even more impossible to understand China in the future。This important conclusion not only emphasizes the inevitability of the Chinese nation to follow its own path,It also points out the essential connection between this path and Chinese civilization and China’s excellent traditional culture。

Since modern times,Because of the power of modernity at specific stages to open up "world history",And construct a basic dominance-subordination relationship,Thus, any nation in the world - if it does not want to perish - will be involved in the general modernization process。But,The expansion and realization of modernization,It must also depend on the social conditions and historical environment of a certain nation: the modernization process of any nation,Only embodied according to its specific social conditions and historical environment,is the real reality。Because Chinese-style modernization is a modernization based on China’s specific social conditions and historical environment,So it must have Chinese characteristics、Modernization in line with China’s national conditions。In China’s national conditions,Essentially contains the basic nature bonus bet365 and the overall characteristics of Chinese cultural tradition。In other words,China is based on its unique—very different from the West—national conditions and cultural traditions,Propose and implement your own modernization tasks。

Therefore,To discuss the development path of contemporary China,It is simply impossible to put aside or break away from this realistic premise。As an essential part and cultural expression of the unique national conditions,Tradition is indeed and should be understood as an essentially important premise;Only on the basis of this premise can we talk about China’s unique modernization process,Contains the true significance and effective actions of China’s development path。The reason why,Because the tradition bonus bet365 is strong,Just as its appeal for modernization is powerful;China’s realistic development path in modern times is restricted by the interrelationship between these two aspects,It expresses its uniqueness in the continuous tension between the two contradictions。One sentence,From ancient China to modern China and future China,It is the outstanding continuity bonus bet365,It is also the inevitable trend of China’s road development today。This trend makes China’s contemporary development inevitably follow its own path,Making China’s modernization process inevitably become Chinese-style modernization。It is in this sense,General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized,Chinese culture has a long history,Chinese civilization is broad and profound。Only by comprehensively and deeply understanding the history bonus bet365,In order to more effectively promote the creative transformation of China’s excellent traditional culture、Innovative development,More effectively promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics,Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation。

China’s long-term historical practice,It clearly proves the profound and broad dominance and far-reaching and long-lasting influence of its cultural tradition。Such a situation,Leaved a very deep impression on countless observers and thinkers。Shelling laments Assyria、Midi、Persia、The decline of ancient empires such as Greece and Rome,I am greatly surprised that China is always flowing calmly like a river whose source is unknown。If this national destiny is related to its cultural character,Then it can be said,The cultural tradition of the bonus bet365 nation is so unique and tenacious,So much so that this nation should really be called a "great、Unique Exception"。After World War II,Fairbank also pointed out this point: Although China has constant changes and widely varying situations,But it never deviates from its unique general pattern in culture and system,"Anyway,The continuity of institutions and culture has produced inertia that is reflected in majestic momentum and adherence to established policies,rather than immovable inertia"。

When we emphasize the importance of Chinese cultural traditions to our historical process,This does not mean that we can downplay or belittle the modernization tasks we face。Quite the opposite,Modernization is important to Chinese history in modern times,This is the most important and fundamental task,Even the topics and areas of significance of traditional culture were opened up by this task。This task requires large-scale external learning,Need in Politics、Economy、Develop its modernization practices in various aspects such as society and culture。Such a modern practice has far-reaching significance,so that the evaluation of it will not be too high no matter what。But,If you say,The universal tasks of modernization must be based on specific social conditions、Concrete by historical environment and cultural tradition,Then,We will be fully aware,In the development process of Chinese-style modernization,The basic nature bonus bet365,The basic characteristics of Chinese traditional culture will inevitably appear prominently,The cultural orientation of a nation (especially the "Axial Period Nation") must be of essential importance in this process。Schelling quoted Windschmann's conclusion and said: What is at work here is definitely not something subjectively constructed,But a powerful cultural principle - it is so powerful,So that foreign things can only last for a period of time within the scope of their own education,And soon became assimilated and subordinated to the power inherent in this principle。

China’s modernization task means that we must learn from foreign countries on a large scale,It also means that foreign culture has entered China on a large scale;But this process will never erase the essential characteristics bonus bet365,It is absolutely impossible to erase the traditions of Chinese culture,It means that you need to go through the "exercise of cultural integration"。Hegel once said when talking about the creation of ancient Greek culture,The ancient Greeks had their own traditions,Faced with the more powerful and superior Eastern culture (the religion of the Greeks at that time was almost a melee of various Eastern religions);It is precisely because of the hard training of cultural integration,The Greeks have gained the vitality they deserve,And usher in an era of victory and prosperity for them。In terms of cultural integration exercises,The Sinicization of Buddhism is like this,The Sinicization of Marxism is even more so。In the process of cultural integration,On the one hand, inclusiveness is at work,That is, being able to accept and tolerate foreign cultures;On the other hand, innovation is at work,This kind of innovation is predicated on cultural self-assertion。As General Secretary Xi Jinping said when talking about the sinicization of Marxism with the times,The result of "combination" is mutual achievement,Created an organically unified new cultural life body,Let Marxism become China’s,China’s excellent traditional culture becomes modern,Let the new culture formed through "combination" become a cultural form of Chinese modernization。

But,Our emphasis on cultural traditions,It does not mean romanticism that reverses the course of history,This kind of romanticism is just an illusionary attempt to return to distant antiquity。True cultural traditions are never pure past,But still living in the past。The essence of cultural tradition is something that has been selected and selected during the long historical journey,It is also something generated in the historical practice of today’s China,Especially something that appears to be inevitable in the unfolding process。It is the historical practice of bonus bet365 modernization that provides the premise for all possibilities for the continuation of its cultural tradition;The development required by this practice,Not only opens up the locked form inherent in the tradition itself,And it created conditions and set the basic direction for the choice and expansion of this tradition。The development path thus formed must have bonus bet365 characteristics,But this bonus bet365 characteristic does not just boil down to existing traditions,In other words, the historical practice with bonus bet365 characteristics has opened up a real field of meaning and space for activities for the existing cultural tradition。One sentence,China’s excellent traditional culture was initiated in accordance with the practical orientation of this development path、Rebuilt and Resurrected。This process,It may be called "the rejuvenation of substantial content" (Hegelian)。It is in this sense,bonus bet365-style modernization demonstrates the new cultural mission it undertakes - this mission is not to return to the pure past,But to promote the "creative transformation" and "innovative development" of China's excellent traditional culture。

Historical materialism as an epoch-making discovery in historical science,Should become the theoretical basis and guideline for studying bonus bet365 cultural traditions。Precisely because historical materialism is the "guide" for research,So it cannot and should not replace specific specialized research。Engels wrote in his letters in his later years: "Our view of history is first and foremost a guide for conducting research,Rather than constructing the system in the Hegelian way。All history must be re-study,The conditions for the existence of various social forms must be studied in detail,Then try to find the corresponding politics from these conditions、Private Law、Aesthetics、Philosophy、Views of religion, etc.。”Such research serves as the cultural mission of bonus bet365 modernization,Of course we need to strengthen our cultural confidence,In other words,To “realize spiritual independence”;But such independence does not mean isolationism and self-isolation。As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized,We must uphold openness and tolerance - this kind of openness and tolerance is based on ourselves,That is, adhering to the sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism,Inherit and develop China’s excellent traditional culture,Promote the localization of foreign cultures,On this basis, we will continue to cultivate and create a new era of socialist culture with bonus bet365 characteristics。
