　World Significance: Contribute "Chinese Wisdom" to the Development of Human Civilization"

From the perspective of the development history of human civilization, Xi Jinping's cultural thought is a profound summary of the law of the development of human civilization. Human civilization has undergone an evolutionary process from low-level to high-level, from simple to complex, and from backward to progressive. There is no distinction between superior and inferior civilizations, only distinctive features and regions. Civilization is colorful due to communication, and civilization is rich due to mutual learning. Civilized exchanges and mutual learning are an important driving force for the progress of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. Building a community with a shared future for mankind, proposing global civilization initiatives, and promoting the development of human cultural diversity, Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts put forward a series of "Chinese strategies" for the future development of mankind, providing ideological guidance for the new form of human civilization.

Xi Jinping's cultural thought is the latest answer to the "China's Question" and "World's Question" of world cultural development. Human beings have only one earth, and all countries live in one world. In today's era of globalization, the development of human civilization is facing unprecedented challenges. Modern European and American colonial culture has destroyed the cultural diversity of the world more thoroughly, and the rich and colorful world cultural pattern has been seriously damaged by the strong invasion of colonial culture. After the Second World War, the "center-periphery" world political, economic and cultural pattern with imperialist powers as the center and the third world as the periphery gradually took shape. After entering the 1990 s, the cultural influence of emerging countries has increased rapidly, but the world cultural pattern of "strong in the West and weak in the East" has not fundamentally changed. Cultural confrontation and clash of civilizations are endless, and the Cold War mentality and hegemonic culture threaten the fate of mankind. American culture represented by the "American Dream" is dressed in the cloak of universal values, and its internal cultural logic is still "EU-CENTRIC". In order to change the existing world cultural pattern, we need the guidance of a new cultural thought to provide new value choices for the common development and harmonious coexistence of human civilization. Xi Jinping's cultural thought is put forward at the right time.

Facing the future of the development of human civilization, China should base itself on the great historical and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, provide an optimized solution for the diversity of world civilization, and provide a "Chinese solution" for the progress of world civilization and the development of multiculturalism ". In order to break the world cultural pattern dominated by the capitalist system and play a role in the global cultural order, we need to strengthen the construction of a cultural power. In the era of globalization, we need to bravely write the "historical records" of the "global village", and we need to write the history of human civilization with China's participation with the courage of "studying the times of heaven and man and the changes of the past and the present. We need to deeply grasp the decisive force of world cultural change, seize the opportunity of digital cultural development, reshape the world communication system, build Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, sum up Chinese experience and Chinese theory, tell Chinese stories, enhance cultural influence, solve the common problems of human destiny with the wisdom of great powers, and let Xi Jinping's cultural thought play a more important role in the development of human civilization.
