Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture was put forward by Jiang Zemin in the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it was comprehensively and profoundly expounded. It originated from the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, and also rooted in the practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, with distinctive characteristics of the times. It reflects the basic characteristics of China's socialist economy and politics and plays a great role in promoting economic and political development.
To build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must focus on improving the ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation, provide strong spiritual motivation and intellectual support for economic development and all-round social progress, and cultivate generations of citizens with ideals, morality, culture and discipline that meet the requirements of socialist modernization. This is a long-term and arduous task for China's cultural construction.
The leadership of China's * * * production party is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a very clear and concise summary: "To build a socialist culture with China characteristics is to develop a national, scientific and popular socialist culture facing modernization, the world and the future, with Marxism as the guide and cultivating citizens with ideals, morality, culture and discipline as the goal."
This is a scientific concept put forward in the face of the rapid development of science and technology, the fierce competition of comprehensive national strength, the mutual agitation of various ideas and cultures around the world, the present situation of China's national quality and human resources development, the growing cultural needs of the people in a well-off society, and the experience and lessons of China's cultural construction for more than 40 years, especially in the past 20 years. Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture is an important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, an important force to unite and inspire people of all ethnic groups in China, and an important symbol of comprehensive national strength.
In today's world with the rapid development of science and technology, measuring the strength of a country depends not only on the amount of material wealth and the speed of social development, but also on the development level of cultural undertakings and spiritual civilization construction, and on the degree of development of human resources and intellectual resources. With the transformation of social industrial structure from labor-intensive to knowledge-intensive, the key factors that determine the success or failure of a country's comprehensive national strength competition are cultural construction and the improvement of national quality.
In this sense, it can be said that cultural construction is the decisive factor of modernization. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that socialist modernization should have a prosperous economy and a prosperous culture. China's modernization process largely depends on the improvement of national quality and the development of human resources. China's socialist modernization is a trinity of economy, politics and culture.
201710 June 18 Xi Jinping proposed in the report of the 19th national congress that we should strengthen our cultural self-confidence and promote the great prosperity of socialist culture.
He said that without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and cultural prosperity, there would be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Adhere to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation, and build a socialist cultural power.
Xi Jinping pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture originated from the excellent Chinese traditional culture nurtured by the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, was cast in the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture created by the Party leading the people's revolution, construction and reform, and was rooted in the great practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
To develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture is to develop a national, scientific and popular socialist culture under the guidance of Marxism, adhere to China's cultural stance, base on the reality of contemporary China and combine the conditions of the times, and promote the coordinated development of socialist spiritual civilization and material civilization. We must persist in serving the people and socialism, let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, persist in creative transformation and innovative development, and constantly create new glories of Chinese culture.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture provides spiritual power for modernization. The great role of culture in modernization shows that it can improve the ideological and moral quality of workers and stimulate their enthusiasm for production, thus providing spiritual motivation for the construction of material civilization. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "In our society, the broad masses of workers have a high degree of political consciousness. They consciously study hard and improve their scientific and cultural level, which will certainly create higher labor productivity in production than capitalism. "
Strengthening Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cultural construction, especially ideological and moral construction, and improving people's ideological consciousness can stimulate people's labor enthusiasm and creative spirit in building socialism and form a powerful spiritual force to promote the construction of material civilization.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture provides intellectual support for modernization. Building a socialist culture with China characteristics can improve the scientific and cultural quality of workers and develop people's intellectual resources. Advanced education, science and culture have given people a weapon of knowledge and become an intelligent force to promote people's effective modernization. The level of intelligence and culture reflects the overall level of a country's citizens' quality.
Its development degree is directly related to the development of social material production and economic life, and often reacts to the development of productive forces. The development of modern production is mainly manifested in the improvement of intelligent level. The improvement of human intelligence is restricted by scientific and cultural knowledge and influenced by the development level of natural science, philosophy and social science. If socialism wants to create higher labor productivity than capitalism, it must have a high development of science and culture.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics's culture ensures that modernization goes in the right direction. Take Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture as the correct ideological value orientation, and ideologically ensure the development of modernization in the right direction. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: If we don't strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization, the construction of material civilization will be destroyed and detoured. The process of human beings creating material civilization is not only a simple material exchange process between man and nature, but also a social communication process under the condition that people form a certain production relationship. In this process, people's behavior should be guided by scientific thinking to ensure the direction of material civilization construction.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture has created a stable social environment for modernization. In "Current Situation and Tasks", Comrade Deng Xiaoping expounded four problems that must be solved to realize the four modernizations, the second of which is "political situation of stability and unity". He believes that the construction of socialist spiritual civilization can ensure the smooth progress of material civilization construction by creating a stable and United social environment.
Historical experience has proved: "Without a stable and United political situation, it is impossible to settle down and engage in construction. During the Cultural Revolution, the society was in turmoil, the country was uneasy, the people suffered unprecedented disasters, and the national economy was on the verge of collapse. This extremely profound lesson must be learned. Culture plays an irreplaceable role in creating a stable social environment.
