In the process of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation
Give better play to the role of Huxiang culture
Hou Xibao. Only by not forgetting the original can we open up the future, and only by being good at inheritance can we innovate better. ** At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the general secretary emphasized: "At the new historical starting point, we must continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must strengthen cultural self-confidence, adhere to our own path, and achieve spiritual independence." "Huxiang culture is an important form of Chinese culture in modern times, and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Huxiang culture is an inevitable requirement and important mission to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point.
Huxiang culture is Chinese culture
An important formality
Huxiang culture has a long history and is broad and profound. More than 12,000 years of agricultural rice and pottery have been excavated in the remains of the Yuchanyan Cave in Daoxian County, Hunan, and the remains of early farming culture from 8,000 to 9,000 years ago have also been excavated at the Pengtou Mountain New Cultural Site in the Liyang Plain, etc., all of which show that the Huxiang culture has long existed and has a leading position in the history of the development of Chinese civilization. Huxiang culture is a kind of inheritance of the core Taoist system of Chinese culture, which has quite outstanding performance in the four important periods of the development of the core Taoist system of Chinese culture in the Chu and Han dynasties, the two Song dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the modern era, and has created unique historical achievements and cultural contributions, conforming to the general trend of Chinese cultural development, and fully expressing the requirements of the construction of Chinese cultural subjectivity. During the Chu and Han dynasties, Qu Yuan pioneered the literary style of "Chu Ci", and used the unique style of "Fu" to create great philosophical works such as Tianwen, which for the first time expressed the political ideal of unifying Confucian and Taoist values. During the Song and Song dynasties, Zhou Dunyi pioneered "science" and realized the construction of the subjectivity of Chinese culture on the basis of absorbing Confucianism. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a generation of Confucian princes and husbands had a far-reaching impact on Confucianism. In the face of the strong impact of Western culture, Wei Yuan, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Tan Sitong, Huang Xing and other representatives of Huxiang have been committed to promoting the construction of Chinese civilization while adhering to Chinese cultural traditions. The older generation of Hunan revolutionaries, represented by the Chinese Revolutionaries, creatively combined the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality, opened a journey of exploration for China's modernization, and fully embodied the historical value and epochal nature of Huxiang culture. This also makes the Huxiang region one of the core cultural regions of modern Chinese culture.
Huxiang culture is to promote Chinese modernization
Vital spiritual power
In Huxiang culture, whether it is the concept of people's livelihood that worries about the world, the philosophical concept of seeking truth from facts, or the political proposition that has been applied to the world, all of them are integrated with Marxism, and its cultural characteristics of people's nature, practicality, scientificity, and development are fully demonstrated in these views and propositions. These cultural characteristics of Huxiang culture highlight the "naturalness" and "inevitability" of the combination logic of China's excellent traditional culture and Marxism, and are a vivid footnote to the theoretical interpretation of the historical proposition of "second combination" in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The strong humanistic feelings in Huxiang culture are fundamentally consistent with the modernization goal of Chinese-style modernization, which seeks to achieve common prosperity for all people in China, which has a huge populationHuxiang culture advocates the development concept of "harmony between man and nature", which coincides with the pursuit of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in Chinese-style modernizationHuxiang culture has a broad mind of "being kind to others, being kind to neighbors" and "being kind to neighbors", which is very consistent with the requirements of Chinese modernization and taking the path of peaceful development. We should stand at the theoretical height of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, grasp the historical initiative of self-confidence and self-improvement of China's excellent traditional culture, re-examine Huxiang culture, innovate and transform the spiritual power and development wisdom contained in it and carry it forward, devote ourselves to Chinese-style modernization and the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation with a stronger historical initiative, and provide more favorable cultural conditions for Chinese-style modernization.
Focus on promoting Huxiang culture
Creative transformation and innovative development
To promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Huxiang culture, we must adhere to integrity and innovation, let cultural relics speak, let history speak, and let culture speak. We will further implement the strategy of digital inheritance of Huxiang culture, strengthen the national top-level design for the digital inheritance of Huxiang culture, promote the construction of a digital standard system for Huxiang culture, strengthen the digital restoration, protection and dissemination of important cultural relics, and develop new scenarios for digital Huxiang cultural experience. Vigorously implement the project of protecting and inheriting Huxiang culture, that is, carrying out research on the protection of 10,000 movable cultural relics, the maintenance and display of 1,000 cultural relics buildings and sites, and the quality improvement and transformation of 100 museums. Focusing on the construction of the Hunan section of the Long March National Cultural Park and the protection of key areas for the protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics, we will strengthen the protection and management of revolutionary cultural relics at different levels and categories, and strengthen the rescue and protection of low-level revolutionary cultural relics. Adhere to the starting point and end point of meeting the people's growing needs for a better life, and constantly give Huxiang culture a new connotation of the times and a modern form of expression. We will build a modern creative design cluster area for Hunan culture and a productive protection base for intangible cultural heritage, strengthen and optimize the design and development of Hunan cultural relics products, promote their better integration into modern life, and enhance the brand influence of products. Efforts are made to create a business card of Qixiu landscape represented by Zhangjiajie, a classic red business card represented by Shaoshan, a business card of urban culture and urban leisure represented by Changsha, a historical and cultural business card represented by Nanyue Hengshan, and a business card of agricultural culture represented by the ancient cultural sites of Chengtou Mountain, so as to fully display the charm of Huxiang culture. Create a characteristic rural culture brand, and skillfully integrate agricultural products with traditional culture and ecological resources, so that the rural scenery can be seen and taken away. Make full use of intelligent communication technology, innovate the narrative mode of Huxiang cultural world, and create a narrative system and international communication matrix of Huxiang cultural world.
Hunan's cultural circles should shoulder the burden
The mission of Huxiang cultural research
It is the unshirkable historical mission and responsibility of the new generation of Huxiang think tank people to demonstrate the new responsibility of Huxiang culture and make new contributions to Huxiang culture in the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the new era. Specifically, it is necessary to focus on the following three aspects and actively act. First, we will continue to promote major projects such as the exploration of the origin of Chinese civilization and "archaeological China". Implement the research project of Chinese calligraphy art, and strengthen the collation, research and protection of Chinese classic culture. Carry out major research such as the continuation of the Huxiang Library, and polish international cultural and archaeological brands such as "Hunan Bamboo Slips" and "Mawangdui". Construct the Hunan archaeological base for exploring the source of Chinese civilization and the archaeological standard warehouse in the national key region. The 50th anniversary of the archaeological excavation of Mawangdui and other international academic seminars on Huxiang culture were held. The second is to continue to promote the construction of a talent team for Huxiang cultural research. Attract a group of national high-end think tank talents to Hunan to carry out research and consultation on the inheritance and utilization of Huxiang culture. Through research and exchange centers, social think tank organizations, etc., the research forces of Huxiang cultural think tanks scattered in the province are selected and clustered together, and a number of provincial-level Huxiang cultural think tank aircraft carriers are incubated and cultivated. Effectively coordinate resources inside and outside the province, set up a professional core research team, a guest research team and a networked cooperative research team, and form a "small core, large network" Huxiang cultural research talent team pattern. The third is to continue to promote the construction of the Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences (Provincial People's Development Research Center) as a highland for Huxiang cultural research. Increase the support for the Huxiang Culture Research Institute, support the Institute to give full play to its own advantages to carry out in-depth research in the "academic history of Huxiang culture", "research on the origin and historical status of Huxiang culture", "Huxiang culture and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation", and launch landmark achievements such as "A Brief History of Huxiang Culture", "A Guide to Huxiang Cultural Classics" and "A Review of Huxiang Culture Research".
