General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out,“The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the crystallization of wisdom and the essence of Chinese civilization,It is the root and soul of the Chinese nation,It is the foundation for us to stand firm in the turmoil of world culture";“We must strengthen the exploration and elucidation of China’s excellent traditional culture,Adapt the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation to contemporary culture、Coordinate with modern society,Across time and space、Beyond national borders、Eternal charm、Promote the cultural spirit with contemporary value”,"Let the cultural relics stored in the Forbidden Palace、Heritage displayed on the vast land、The words written in ancient books come alive”,“Let Chinese civilization join the rich and colorful civilizations created by people from all over the world,Provide human beings with correct spiritual guidance and powerful spiritual power”。We must combine the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture,But “‘combination’ is not ‘platter’Bet365 lotto review ,Not a simple ‘physical reaction’,But a profound ‘chemical reaction’,Created an organically unified new cultural life body”。

From the perspective of cultural theory,General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of cultural views not only reveal the significance and value of China’s excellent traditional culture,It also expresses the significance of general culture, especially general national culture, from a deeper level、Problems of value and existence。Classic writers such as Marx and Engels attach great importance to the issue of traditional national culture,And there is a lot of discussion。In his speech "On the Hague Congress" on September 8, 1872, Marx clearly stated: "The workers must one day seize power,In order to establish a new labor organization...but,We never asserted,In order to achieve this purpose,The same approach should be adopted everywhere。We know,Must consider the systems of each country、Customs and traditions。”Due to various historical reasons,They discuss cultural issues more from the perspective of economic determinants,Failed to clearly explain the logic of cultural ontology。In the words of Engels’s letter to Merlin,It means "ignoring the form for the sake of content,That is, in what ways and methods are these concepts generated?”。Contemporary Western cultural anthropologists have conducted useful discussions on this issue。The German cultural anthropologist Frobenius proposed the term "cultural soul",Believing that every culture has its own mind or spirit;German philosopher Spengler proposed the idea of ​​"spiritual awakening",Believe that culture is the result of spiritual awakening,The world after awakening is logic、The world of science and understanding;American cultural anthropologist Geertz believes that culture is the “cognitive and emotional map” and “matrix of collective conscience” of a specific nation。Although the thoughts of these scholars have Bet365 app download certain elements of idealism,But criticizing and absorbing these ideas is undoubtedly of positive significance for deepening the study of cultural issues。General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the combination of "creating an organically unified new cultural life body" is very profound,Not only reveals the nature and characteristics of the cultural organic whole,It also scientifically points out the positive significance of culture to the development of society and life (including lifestyle)。Although specific national cultures, especially those with important historical influence, have certain spiritual values ​​that transcend time, space and national boundaries,But because it has relatively stable properties and characteristics after formation,Therefore, with the development of society, they naturally need to be continuously enriched、Development and Innovation。

Highlighting the important status and role of culture

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out,“Coordinate and promote the ‘Five-in-One’ overall layout、Coordinate and promote the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout,Culture is an important content;Promote high-quality development,Culture is an important fulcrum;Meet the people’s growing needs for a better life,Culture is an important factor;Overcome various risks and challenges on the road ahead,Culture is an important source of strength”。“Combination” itself is innovation,At the same time, it opens up a broad space for theoretical and practical innovation。

Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thoughts profoundly pointed out the historical status and role of culture。People generally believe that culture is the upper level of society as a superstructure,Only an indirect reaction to economic development and people’s daily life。In fact,This understanding is incomplete。In fact,After culture is produced, it will sink into every field of human society,And interact with related practices。Every field of human practice will Bet365 lotto review be marked by culture。For the interaction here,Engels emphasized repeatedly in his correspondence in his later years。Engels's "Family"、The Origin of Private Ownership and the State" when discussing the historical role of production tools as important factors of productivity,Clearly pointed out the important role of cultural inventions and discoveries。

Cultural existence is distributed,It is aggregated again。Say it is distributed,Because culture exists in all fields of society;Say it is aggregated,It’s because the cultures of a specific society always influence and restrict each other,And finally show certain characteristics of organic wholeness。For the inner relationship between different cultural forms,Cultural anthropologists divide them into four forms,That is, material culture、Institutional culture、Behavioral Culture and Conceptual Culture,And believes that the conceptual culture determines and affects the existence and development of the other three cultural forms。In a general sense,There is some truth to this statement。But if we dig deeper,Limitations are revealed。The material culture understood by cultural anthropologists often refers to materialized culture,Excluding economic culture and technological culture that are very close to social materials,Forms such as political culture and social culture are not listed at all。Actually,Like economy and culture、Technical culture and political culture also have a great impact on conceptual culture and even the entire cultural existence。Culture exists, changes and develops in the interaction between different cultural forms。Of course,The entire social and cultural existence and development including various specific cultural forms,In the final analysis, it is determined and restricted by economic development。

  Reveal the special development laws and characteristics of culture

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out,The premise of "combination" is mutual agreement,The result of "combination" bet365 best casino games is mutual achievement。"On the one hand,Marxism brings advanced ideas and theories to China,Activating the genes of Chinese civilization with the light of truth,Leading China into the modern world,Promoted the life renewal and modern transformation of Chinese civilization”;"On the other hand,China’s excellent traditional culture enriches the cultural life of Marxism,Promote Marxism to continuously realize new leaps in Chineseization and modernization,Showing increasingly distinctive Chinese style and Chinese style,Sinicized Marxism has become the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit”。The “second combination” makes Marxism Chinese,China’s excellent traditional culture becomes modern,Let the new culture formed through "combination" become a cultural form of Chinese modernization。

Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts have profoundly revealed the unique development laws and characteristics of specific social cultures。Before people clearly grasped the laws of social development, especially historical materialism,The culture of a specific nation in the sense of cultural anthropology and the culture in the sense of social development are relatively consistent。People use culture in the sense of cultural anthropology to guide their lives,Also use it to guide social construction and social development,Thus maintaining the overall cultural harmony and integrity of a specific nation and country。But since the emergence of capitalism,It has become impossible for any culture in the cultural anthropological sense to adapt to the development of the new society through tinkering or internal improvement。This is due to the huge changes in society in capitalism and beyond,No qualitative change in culture,No culture in the sense of cultural anthropology can adapt to the development requirements of the new society。Therefore,At this time, we should use cultural transformation and innovation in the sense of social development to adapt to the requirements of new social development bet365 live casino games and culture in the sense of cultural anthropology。Although culture in the sense of cultural anthropology often has a value that transcends time and space,But after all, it is a product of agricultural society and has coexisted with feudal society for a long time,There must be a lot of dross and backward things,Therefore it needs to be transformed and innovated。

The reason why there are two different types of cultural coexistence and integration in a specific society,This is determined by the complementarity of two different types of culture。Culture in the sense of social development is advanced,But it cannot produce national character and maintain the stability and development of the nation,Culture in the sense of cultural anthropology can maintain and consolidate nationality,But it cannot guide the construction and development of a new society。As far as contemporary China is concerned,The fusion of these two different types of culture is the process of combining the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping,And let the new culture formed through "combination" become a Chinese-style modern cultural form。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The ‘second combination’ is another ideological emancipation,Let us be in a broader cultural space,Make full use of the valuable resources of China’s excellent traditional culture,Exploring future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovation。”The essence of “the first combination” is to focus on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality manifested by material characteristics。The "second combination" is only based on the "first combination",In order to ensure the reasonable construction and healthy development of culture,It also guarantees to provide inexhaustible spiritual power for all areas of society and promote social prosperity and development。It is in this sense,The "second combination" has important significance。It not only shows that the Communist Party of China’s understanding of the laws of socialist cultural construction with Chinese characteristics Bet365 app download has reached a new height,At the same time, it also shows that the Chinese Communist Party is committed to the Chinese path、China Theory、The understanding of China’s system has reached a new height。
