The so-called advanced culture is a culture that conforms to the development direction of human society, embodies the development requirements of social productive forces, represents the most fundamental interests of social members and reflects the development trend of the times. To sum up, the connotation of these sciences is to reflect the requirements and spirit of the times. As a creative activity with noble human spirit, it is impossible to create an advanced culture that reflects the development requirements and spirit of the times without paying attention to the creative work of all mankind and ignoring the significance of inheritance, absorption and innovation. Inheritance is to carry forward the creative achievements of ancestors; Absorption emphasizes the absorption and integration of foreign and heterogeneous cultures; Innovation is progress on the basis of existing achievements.
Historical practice at home and abroad tells us that inheriting the excellent traditions of national culture and drawing on and absorbing the excellent achievements of foreign cultures are important conditions for developing national advanced culture. Innovation based on inheritance and absorption is "the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity", and so is culture.
2. The historical fate of advanced culture: from weak to strong, from collision to establishing a dominant position.
The development and growth of advanced culture until it establishes its dominant position in social life is by no means smooth sailing. As the embodiment of the growth requirements of advanced productive forces and new lifestyles bred in the old society and the embodiment of the new spirit of the times different from the past, the growth process of advanced culture is bound to be a process of collision and struggle with the old culture. This is also the growth law of an advanced culture.
However, advanced culture must conform to the historical trend, reflect the spirit of the times, represent the future development direction, and contribute to the development of social productive forces, so its vitality is strong. Whether it is the bourgeois Renaissance, the Enlightenment or Marxism, in the process of its dissemination, it is demonstrated that advanced culture will inevitably collide with the old culture, be obstructed or even persecuted by the old culture, and gradually establish its dominant position.
Understanding and mastering this characteristic and law of the development of advanced culture will not only help to strengthen the belief of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's new culture, but also help to stimulate the determination and confidence to accelerate the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's new culture. No matter what happens, we can "sit tight".
3. Management strategy of advanced culture: give priority to me, strengthen the foundation and consolidate the foundation; Actively, steadily and reasonably absorb
In contemporary China, advanced culture is the socialist culture with China characteristics. The orientation of representing China's advanced culture is to actively promote the cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. As we all know, the cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics is carried out in a brand-new environment. Internationally, on the one hand, the international production movement has suffered great setbacks, and the superiority of socialism has yet to be brought into play. On the other hand, the overall leading edge of science and technology makes the capitalist system still show a certain vitality, and its economic strength is far ahead of socialist countries. On this basis, with the acceleration of economic globalization, the capitalist mode of production, lifestyle and ideology and culture are increasingly strongly affecting other countries, especially developing countries. From the domestic point of view, on the one hand, although Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cultural construction has achieved fruitful results, it is still in its infancy, which shows that the ideological theory is not mature and the system is not complete, and people's moral level and values need to be improved and consolidated. On the other hand, a healthy market mechanism has not yet been formed. In the period of social transformation, various deep-seated social contradictions often become the catalyst for people's belief to waver. In this case, how to promote the development of China's advanced culture?
First of all, give priority to me and lay a solid foundation. In today's world, various cultures are colorful and have obvious national or regional characteristics, which shows that nationality has always been the "root" of the development of various cultures. Without "roots", it is impossible to have an advanced culture recognized by members of this nation. With the acceleration of economic globalization, cultural dialogue, exchange, collision and integration among countries have become an inevitable historical trend. In the face of this trend, we should increase the propaganda of Chinese excellent traditional culture, further enhance the affinity and cohesion of national culture, and adhere to its subjective consciousness and status in the process of dialogue and exchange with foreign cultures. At the same time, accelerate the overall construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cultural undertakings and form a powerful campaign to publicize Socialism with Chinese characteristics's culture.
Second, actively, steadily and reasonably absorb. We should be soberly aware that when we adopt the open policy and actively promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, there is actually a gap between the strong culture and the weak culture. The formation of this strong and weak trend is not caused by the culture itself, nor is it the embodiment of the advanced and backward culture, but by the material means and economic strength of culture through its dissemination. In the face of this unequal dialogue and exchange, we should adhere to the principle of "benefiting ourselves", reasonably absorb the advanced cultural achievements of other countries, and be active and steady.
