General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during the 17th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee that we must anchor the strategic goal of building a cultural power and continuously develop the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era. He pointed out the need to continuously enhance the country's cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture. With the significant improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and international status, the relationship between China and the world has undergone historic changes. The accelerated evolution of the century old changes poses new challenges and tasks for China's foreign work. Cultural soft power embodies the cohesion and vitality of a country based on its culture, as well as the attraction and influence it generates.
The Three Major Sources of China's Cultural Soft Power
Cultural soft power is an important component of a country's comprehensive national strength, and our cultural soft power comes from three major sources. Originating from the world's only continuous civilization passed down from the past. China has been an independent and self-contained civilization since ancient times, and is an ancient yet young China. The research results of major projects such as the Exploration of the Origins of Chinese Civilization have further confirmed China's million year human history, 10000 year cultural history, and over 5000 year civilization history. This continuous and continuous brilliant civilization has provided abundant nourishment for the soft power of Chinese culture.The ten Chinese archaisms written in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, namely, the world is public, the people are the foundation of the country, the government is based on morality, the reform of the old, the appointment of merit, the unity of heaven and man, self-improvement, integrity, good faith and amity, and good neighborliness, are important manifestations of the world outlook, the world outlook, the social outlook, and the moral outlook that the Chinese people have accumulated in their long-term production and life, reflect the ideological wisdom of governing the country, accumulate the profound cultural heritage of Chinese path to modernization, have a high degree of consistency with the values of scientific socialism, and have broad resonance with all civilizations in the world. This also reflects the cultural confidence in comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization, building the cultural consciousness of the Chinese nation's modern civilization, and building up its own talents. We will jointly build the "the Belt and Road" to promote the common modernization of the world, build a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization.
Originating from the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture that is currently being practiced. After decades of development, since 2010 when China's manufacturing added value surpassed the United States for the first time and became the world's largest manufacturing country, the manufacturing added value has always ranked first in the world. It is the only country with a full range of industries and has become the culmination of industrial civilization. We also promote the construction of green and intelligent digital ecological civilization, which is a key force in promoting the world's green transformation. The continuously consolidated material foundation is the foundation of Chinese culture, and it is also the historical background for the formation of Xi Jinping's cultural ideology. This reflects the role of the cultural ideology of Mingti Da Yong in economic development, bidding farewell to the modern debate between Chinese and Western sports. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "China's excellent traditional culture is the wisdom and essence of Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to stand firm in the turbulence of world culture." The "second combination" proposed on the basis of the "first combination" is a vivid portrayal of the integration of knowledge and practice in the new era. The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture endows Chinese civilization with the characteristics of a constantly evolving, constantly evolving, and constantly evolving era. In this way, the new form of human civilization created by Chinese path to modernization highlights China's responsibility and responsibility to provide solutions and lessons for solving a series of major challenges facing mankind in the 21st century. Chinese path to modernization is not a denial of tradition or westernization, but a creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Promote the world modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity with Chinese path to modernization, and demonstrate the country's cultural soft power and Chinese cultural influence.China's proposal of universal values for all mankind transcends the narrow scope of "universal values", and the community of shared future for mankind transcends the homogeneity and exclusivity of the West. This is also the cultural foundation for China to embark on a new path of state to state exchanges of dialogue without confrontation and partnership without alliance. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Symposium on Cultural Heritage and Development, "the innovation of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation to uphold integrity and respect the past, and the fearless character of the Chinese nation to not fear new challenges and to be brave in accepting new things." "The inclusiveness of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the historical orientation of communication, exchange, and integration of the Chinese nation, determines the harmonious pattern of diverse religious beliefs coexisting in China, and determines the open mind of Chinese culture to embrace world civilization. It is precisely based on this character that the soft power of Chinese culture continues to improve and provides value concepts for solving global problems.
