General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We adhere to the guidance of Marxism and use its scientific world outlook and methodology to solve China's problems." Marxist cultural theory adheres to the fundamental position of realizing the liberation of the people and safeguarding the interests of the people, takes the realization of the ideal society of human freedom and all-round development as its own responsibility, and profoundly reveals the universal law, essential attribute, development form and historical role of cultural development. Marxist cultural theory has a distinct practical character. It is not only committed to scientifically "explaining the world", but also committed to actively "changing the world", which provides us with a scientific way of thinking to promote the construction of a cultural power.

In the various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, our party has always adhered to Marxism as the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country, guided by the world outlook methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism to promote theoretical exploration and practical innovation, and promote cultural construction in various periods. Continuously make new achievements.

Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, my country's cultural construction has taken important steps. Cultural undertakings have made all-round and groundbreaking historical achievements and created cultural achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In this process, the scientificity and truth of Marxist cultural theory have been fully tested, the people and practicality of Marxist cultural theory have been fully implemented, the openness and epochal nature of Marxist cultural theory have been fully demonstrated, and the revolutionary and fighting nature of Marxist cultural theory has been fully reflected. The ideological and practical power of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era has been fully demonstrated.

Standing at the new historical starting point of building a cultural power, we must thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, and focus on implementing the strategic deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Party on cultural construction, and effectively enhance the sense of responsibility and mission to do a good job in the new era and new journey to publicize ideological and cultural work., To turn the various strategic deployments of a cultural power into a mission statement, make a road map, and solidly promote the implementation to achieve results.

Highlighting the Party's Cultural Confidence to a New Height, Building a Foundation for Building a Cultural Power

Cultural self-confidence is the most basic, deepest and most lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. It is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence, and the foundation of the belief in realizing a cultural power. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Culture prospers the country and the nation is strong. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and without cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." This important exposition profoundly expounds the significance of cultural self-confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and fully demonstrates our party's high cultural consciousness and cultural responsibility.

Cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, derived from the excellent traditional Chinese culture nurtured by the Chinese nation's more than 5,000 years of civilization, cast in the advanced socialist culture created by the party leading the people in revolution, construction, and reform, and rooted in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since modern times, the Chinese nation has been rising from tribulations and moving from danger to national rejuvenation, relying on the strong cohesion and tenacity of Chinese culture. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has taken the construction of a scientific and popular new culture of the Chinese nation as its sacred mission with a high degree of cultural consciousness and self-confidence. In the course of a hundred years of struggle, it has continuously inherited and carried forward the broad, profound and brilliant Chinese excellent traditional culture, created a vigorous revolutionary culture and a vibrant advanced socialist culture, and provided strong spiritual support for national rejuvenation. Since entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood at the overall strategic height of the development of the party and the country, focusing on strengthening the party's ideological work, prospering the development of philosophy and social sciences, strengthening the construction of a network power, promoting the prosperity and development of cultural industries in literary and artistic creation and cultural undertakings, and cultivating Major issues such as socialist core values and enhancing exchanges and mutual learning among world civilizations have been comprehensively, systematically and profoundly expounded, promote people to enhance cultural consciousness, strengthen cultural self-confidence, and promote cultural self-improvement, so that cultural construction plays an increasingly important role in the "two overall situations". Cultural heritage and cultural creation present a new atmosphere and create a new situation. Chinese civilization Showing a more dazzling atmosphere, the Chinese people are striding towards a cultural power with a more confident, self-reliant and self-reliant attitude.

Towards a new journey of building a cultural power, we must strengthen our cultural self-confidence, and gather the majestic strength of one heart with stronger confidence, high morale, and inspiring spirit. It is necessary to inherit and carry forward the "roots" of Chinese excellent traditional culture, absorb the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, deeply understand the cultural genes and unique advantages of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and sum up Chinese experience from Chinese culture. upgrade Chinese experience to Chinese theory, realize spiritual independence, and ensure the stability and long-term development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is necessary to inherit and carry forward revolutionary culture, strengthen ideals and beliefs, expand the connotation and expression of revolutionary culture, enhance the value of revolutionary culture, and make it a symbol of the times for all people to pursue their dreams. It is necessary to build an advanced socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, vigorously carry forward and practice the socialist core values, internalize the socialist core values into the people's spiritual pursuit and externalize them into the people's conscious actions, so as to provide a strong spiritual power for Chinese Dream, who has realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　Follow the only way of "two combinations" to build the foundation of the road for the construction of a cultural power.

In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, one of the important reasons for the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state is that we have adhered to the "two combinations". General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium on the development of cultural heritage: "To open up and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics on the basis of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture is the only way to go. This is the regular understanding we have drawn in exploring the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is the greatest magic weapon for our success." The scientific thesis of "two combinations" profoundly reveals the inherent law of upholding and developing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, points out the way forward for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation, and builds a solid foundation for the construction of a cultural power.

A cultural power is a vibrant and dynamic new cultural form created by Chinese modernization, and a new cultural life body that organically unifies Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture. For more than a hundred years, our party has continuously promoted the combination of Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture, used Marxism to activate the outstanding factors full of vitality in Chinese excellent traditional culture and endowed it with new connotations of the times, and deepened the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation. Inject Marxism deeply, connect the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and merge it into a new theoretical advantage, constantly climbing new heights of thought. The excellent traditional Chinese culture enriches the cultural life of Marxism, promotes the continuous realization of a new leap in the sinicization of Marxism, and shows an increasingly distinctive Chinese style and Chinese style. Sinicized Marxism has also continuously endowed Chinese traditional culture with modern power, and promoted Chinese traditional culture to continuously radiate a new era of light.

On the new journey of building a cultural power, we should adhere to, carry forward and make good use of the greatest magic weapon of "two combinations", deepen the understanding of the regularity of the "two combinations", and promote the deep integration of the "soul pulse" of Marxism and the "root pulse" of Chinese excellent traditional culture. We must adhere to integrity and innovation, continue to promote the modernization of Marxism in China, integrate the essence of Marxist theory with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and integrate the common values of the people's daily use, and endow scientific theories with distinctive Chinese characteristics, so that Marxism can firmly take root in the land of China. We must persist in advancing with the times, innovating the old and bringing forth the new, promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, using the power of Marxist truth to activate the vitality of Chinese excellent traditional culture, so that Chinese excellent traditional culture will continue to be unique, radiate the glory of the times, and continue to realize the transition from tradition to modernity The leap strongly supports the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
