Qi Yongfeng said that the goal of "cultural power" put forward by the central authorities has two major international and domestic backgrounds:
Domestically, China's social and economic development has reached a new stage, which puts forward more urgent requirements for cultural construction. We put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, which includes not only the goal of economic development, but also the goal of greatly improving cultural soft power, highly developing and prospering culture and art, and enriching the spiritual life of healthy people. After the Sixth Plenary Session put forward "cultural power", the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way became clearer and better reflected the essential requirements of socialism.
In the international context, faced with the double dip of the international economic crisis, there have been problems such as high unemployment rate and shrinking trade. China has emerged from the economic crisis and still has great room for development. However, it should also be noted that while our economic strength is growing, the development of soft power is not enough, especially in the reform of the international financial system and the reconstruction of the international order, our role is still very limited. The outstanding achievements of China culture, such as harmony between man and nature, harmony without difference, and harmonious culture, have limited international influence. China culture can make up for the defects of one-way thinking and individualism in western culture, and play a role in the process of building a new international economic order by exerting our soft power, thus making greater contributions to overcoming the financial crisis.
Qi Yongfeng believes that there should be five criteria to measure a "cultural power": First, culture, art, philosophy and social sciences are highly prosperous, forming a number of cultural and artistic masterpieces, works and programs with world influence and wide spread, and these works are constantly emerging. Second, the scale of the cultural industry has been greatly improved, and the competitiveness of cultural enterprises has been greatly improved. The economic scale of cultural enterprises should account for about 8% to 10% of GDP, forming a number of internationally competitive cultural enterprises and cultural industry groups, which will play a leading role in the development of world cultural industries. Third, a large number of cultural talents have emerged, and a number of cultural and artistic masters with international influence have emerged, forming cultural and artistic schools and schools with China style and international expression, forming a development situation in which a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers blossom. Fourth, the cultural copyright trade has changed from net import to net export, which has strong competitiveness and plays a leading role in the world cultural trade. Fifth, the country's cultural soft power has been greatly improved, and it can raise issues that lead the international economic and social development trend and play a role in building a new international order. At present, international issues are mainly raised by western developed countries. After China's cultural soft power has been greatly improved, it should occupy an important position in raising issues and play more positive roles.
Four highlights and three heights of the cultural construction of the Sixth Plenary Session
1 and the Sixth Plenary Session put forward the epochal proposition of building a new socialist culture with the theme of "scientific development".
2. The Sixth Plenary Session proposed that the essence of promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture is to build a new culture with humanistic spirit as the core.
3. It is an important task to develop socialist network culture and make it a new force of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture.
4. In the great process of building a new China, the Sixth Plenary Session put forward the goal of building a socialist cultural power for the first time.
Yang Jinhai pointed out that the convening of the Sixth Plenary Session marked the promotion of our cultural consciousness and self-confidence, and also marked the promotion of our party's formulation of cultural strategies.
We can summarize the basic contents of the socialist core value system into four levels and five aspects. The first level is the guiding ideology of Marxism. The second level is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal. The third level is the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core. The fourth level is the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.
But at present, we are in a critical period of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also a critical period of deepening reform and opening up and accelerating the transformation of economic development mode. At this time, we further emphasize the construction of the socialist core value system, what are the more special significance, which really needs us to grasp.
Yan: First, the current cultural development has increasingly become an important source of national cohesion and creativity. Why is the demand for culture and the people's expectations for cultural construction getting higher and higher now? The first key point is that culture is increasingly becoming an important source of national cohesion and creativity.
[Yan]: Second, the development of culture has increasingly become an important factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength. Many of our netizens talk about comprehensive national strength, and the first thing that comes to mind is GDP. Of course, it is not only the primary industry and the secondary industry that can create GDP now. Like western developed countries, such as the United States, the cultural industry has already exceeded half of the GDP of the United States.
[Yan]: Third, cultural development has increasingly become an important support for economic and social development. Economic and social development needs cultural support and value support, which is increasingly seen by everyone.
[Yan]: Fourth, cultural development has increasingly become the ardent desire of the people. So, as you can see, why do so many people travel during the Golden Week? I think many people are going to some tourist attractions. It has many cultural connotations, and they know our traditional culture and red culture.
Three characteristics of the socialist core value system: distinctiveness, orientation and inclusiveness.
The gathering of cultural topics in the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee is comparable to the Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art in those years, which will become a new milestone in China's cultural development, and China's cultural development will enter a new stage.
Beijing of 20 1 1 makes authoritative interviewed experts feel similar to Yan 'an of 1942. In its view, the gathering of cultural issues at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee held in Beijing a few days ago is comparable to the Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art, which will become a new milestone in China's cultural development, and China's cultural development will enter a new stage.
The plenary session deliberated and adopted the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Decision on Deepening the Reform of Cultural System and Promoting the Great Development and Prosperity of Socialist Culture. Taking "cultural proposition" as the topic of the plenary session this time is also following the discussion on ideological and moral and cultural construction at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee 1996, and the central decision-making level has once again focused on cultural issues.
Looking at the plenary communiqué issued on June+10/October 18, 65438, according to many researchers interviewed by Outlook News Weekly, its biggest highlight was the strategic goal of "building a socialist cultural power".
Culture is at the forefront of the times.
Looking back at the previous plenary sessions of the Central Committee in the new era, Ye Duchu, a professor at the Central Party School, said that his theme has repeatedly involved meetings on economic and political construction, including social construction. The core content of culture is spiritual civilization and moral fashion, but it is the first time to systematically study and discuss culture as productive forces, which is of great significance.
In 2002, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and made a strategic decision of "actively developing cultural undertakings and cultural industries".
In 2007, the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further put forward new requirements for achieving the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and clearly put forward "strengthening cultural construction and obviously improving the civilized quality of the whole nation".
The communique of the Sixth Plenary Session put forward: "To build a well-off society at a higher level that benefits more than one billion people in an all-round way, we must not only let people live a solid and rich material life, but also let people enjoy a healthy and rich cultural life."
In Qi Yongfeng's view, a "cultural power" should at least include the following criteria:
The vitality of cultural innovation in the whole society has been fully activated, philosophy and social sciences and culture and art have developed and prospered, and a number of cultural and artistic works and quality programs with international influence, attraction and wide dissemination have emerged.
The competitiveness of cultural industries has been greatly improved, and the added value of cultural industries accounts for 8% ~ 10% of GDP, forming a number of world-class transnational cultural media industry groups with international competitiveness, leading the development trend of world cultural industries and mastering the right to speak in the competition of world public opinion.
There are a large number of cultural and artistic talents, and the grand team of cultural talents is large in scale and reasonable in structure. A number of cultural and artistic masters and cultural industry leaders with world influence have emerged, forming a vivid situation in which China has a variety of cultural and artistic schools with characteristics and cultural development and innovation.
Cultural trade, especially copyright trade, has changed from net import to net export. Fundamentally reverse the embarrassing situation that China's copyright trade deficit has been serious for a long time, and realize the transformation from an international cultural trade power to a trading power.
The cultural soft power has been greatly improved, which can put forward various issues leading the international economic and social development trend and play an active role in building a new international order.
According to the above standards, the current reality is not optimistic. According to "Creative Economy Report 20 10" issued by the United Nations, China's export of creative economy products has been ranked first in the world in recent years, but it has failed to rank among the top ten in the world in terms of export of creative economy services.
