Education powerhouse. 
The National Conference on Propaganda, Ideological and Cultural Work officially put forward the first-class cultural thought, which is a milestone in the history of the party's ideological and theoretical construction and the history of the party's leadership in cultural construction. It is an important part of learning and implementing the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and it is also an important prerequisite for taking the new era as an important prerequisite for creating a new atmosphere of cultural construction in the new era. A colorful chapter in the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new eraThe Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era is a scientific system with rich connotations, broad and profound, and cultural thought is the cultural chapter of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, which is one of the most colorful chapters. Society is an organism composed of economy, politics and culture, and culture is an extremely important part of the social organism. In the historical process of human society, the status and role of culture have become more and more prominent. In today's era, culture has increasingly become an important symbol of comprehensive national strength and an important condition for the all-round development of the economy, society, and people, and various cultural problems have also manifested themselves in a diverse and intensive manner. The reason why cultural thought has become a strong chapter in the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era is that the cultural thought has a keen and profound grasp of the more prominent cultural significance and stronger cultural voice of the current era, and its conscious and powerful response. Throughout the great history of the development of human society, the general secretary emphasized that "culture is an important force for the survival and development of the nation. Every leap forward in human society and every sublimation of human civilization is accompanied by historical progress in culture," and "only when the spirit reaches a certain height can this nation stand firm and forge ahead courageously in the torrent of history." Looking at the overall pattern of the cause of the party and the country, the general secretary pointed out that "propaganda, ideological and cultural work is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term peace and stability of the country, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the nation", "culture is related to the country's foundation and national fortune". In the face of the general trend of intertwining and interacting with the "two overall situations", the general secretary pointed out that "in the new era and new journey, the world has accelerated the evolution of great changes unseen in a century, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period, strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, and the propaganda, ideological and cultural work is facing new situations and new tasks, and there must be a new atmosphere and new achievements", "without the prosperity of Chinese culture, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation". Focusing on the grand strategy of Chinese-style modernization, the general secretary pointed out that "culture is an important part of the overall layout of the 'five-in-one' and the 'four comprehensive' strategic layout."To promote high-quality development, culture is an important fulcrum; To meet the people's growing needs for a better life, culture is an important factor; To overcome all kinds of risks and challenges on the way forward, culture is an important source of strength", "Chinese-style modernization requires great material wealth, spiritual wealth, and self-confidence and self-improvement in ideology and culture." Based on a deep grasp of the cultural significance of the current era, the general secretary called culture the "spiritual gene", "soul" and "unique identity" of the nation, emphasizing that propaganda, ideological and cultural work is "an extremely important work", cultural self-confidence is "more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence", cultural identity is "the deepest level of identity", and cultural soft power is "the strength that reflects the core and highest level of a country's comprehensive strength, and in the practice of governing the country" Raise cultural construction to a new historical height" and "put it in a prominent position in the overall work". * The "strong ink and color" of cultural thought is being formed in the new era, and the cultural construction has been further demonstrated as a strategic position and key pen in the practice of party governance; The "strong color" of cultural thought is also one of the important bases for the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era to become "the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit". The theoretical crystallization of the vivid practice of the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new eraThe era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory. All epoch-making theories are the products of satisfying the needs of the times, and they are the ideological essence of the times condensed in answering practical questions, summing up practical experience, and leading the development of practice. Since the beginning of the new era, our party has devoted itself to cultural construction with unprecedented affection, pen and ink, practical measures and intensity; The consciousness of cultural construction has been generally enhanced in the whole party and the whole society, and the magnificent waves and the deep flow of still water are reflected in the picture scroll of the times of cultural construction. Cultural thought is the theoretical reflection of this new practice. Solidly promoting the construction of a socialist cultural power is not only the strategic deployment of cultural construction made in the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, but also a true portrayal of the historical process of China's cultural construction since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In this process, with Comrade Zheng as the core, we will raise the banner and orient ourselves, clean up the source, strategically draw and press the important tasks of promoting the reform and development of the cultural field. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China focused on "promoting the innovation of cultural systems and mechanisms" to deploy a comprehensive deepening reform in the field of culture; The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China issued a new order to "continuously create new brilliance of Chinese culture" with the theme of "strengthening cultural self-confidence and promoting the prosperity of socialist culture"; The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made new advances in upholding and improving the system of prosperous and developing advanced socialist culture; The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) included building a cultural power in the long-term goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035; The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) planned a new strategic blueprint for "promoting cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, and creating a new glory of socialist culture". In this process, the general secretary personally planned, guided, and promoted, organized collective learning, convened special meetings, presided over special seminars, formulated reform plans, made decisions on major projects, promoted major projects, and conducted in-depth and detailed research and deployment on various important aspects of the cultural field such as ideological theory, spiritual civilization, literature and art, journalism, philosophy and social sciences, cultural relics and archaeology, version preservation and utilization, cultural heritage protection, cultural industry revitalization, and cultural projects benefiting the people. Concern and guidance, extensive mobilization. In this process, the general secretary put forward a series of new ideas, new views and new assertions on cultural construction, and the expositions were dense and rich and unprecedented. These important viewpoints are the theoretical summary of the practical experience of the party's leadership in cultural construction in the new era, reflecting the new regular understanding of the formation of cultural construction by our party, and constituting the main content of cultural thought. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out when reviewing the great struggles and great achievements in the past ten years in the new era: "The great changes in the ten years of the new era are of milestone significance in the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation. "The success of an epic is inseparable from the power of culture; In the epic, there is a chapter of culture. Since the beginning of the new era, the cultural struggle of the party and the people has made historic achievements in promoting propaganda, ideological and cultural undertakings, the situation in the ideological field has undergone an overall and fundamental change, and the cultural self-confidence of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country has been significantly enhanced, and their spiritual outlook has become more energetic. At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the general secretary pointed out that "after long-term efforts, we are more qualified than any previous era to solve the 'ancient and modern Chinese and Western disputes'". Such a cultural foundation is built on a solid foundation for the solid promotion of the construction of a socialist cultural power. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the most fundamental reason why the propaganda, ideological and cultural work has made historic achievements lies in the fact that there is a general secretary at the helm and a scientific guide of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era. **The cultural thought is generated from the vivid practice of the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, leading the cultural construction of the Chinese nation on the new journey, further activating the inner life of Chinese civilization, and promoting Chinese culture to show the new style of the times. The latest achievements of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist cultural theoryMarxism has not only established the basic principles and scientific methods for observing and analyzing cultural issues, but also includes thorough views on the specific fields and forms of culture, such as ideology and morality, values, literature and art, and social sciences, thus forming a scientific and systematic cultural theory. In the process of promoting the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of Marxism and the building of a new culture of the Chinese nation, the Chinese Communists have successively formed rich theoretical achievements on the construction of new democratic and socialist cultures, the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, and the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, constantly enriching and developing Marxist cultural theory, and leading the continuous practice of the cultural struggle of the Party and the people. **Cultural thought is a new chapter in the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist cultural theory written on this basis. * The general secretary noted: "Problems are the starting point of innovation, and they are also the source of innovation. Only by listening to the voice of the times, responding to the call of the times, and conscientiously studying and solving major and urgent problems can we truly grasp the historical context, find the law of development, and promote theoretical innovation. "Today's world is undergoing great changes unseen in a century, and contemporary China, which is in a critical period of national rejuvenation, is experiencing the most extensive and profound social changes in history, and is promoting Chinese-style modernization, which is a very grand and unique practical innovation in human history. In the face of the new situation in which social ideological concepts and value orientations are becoming increasingly active, mainstream and non-mainstream coexist, and social trends of thought are turbulent, how to consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, cultivate and practice the core socialist values, and consolidate the common ideological foundation for the unity and struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country; In the face of the comprehensive and in-depth advancement of the modernization process, how to deal with the relationship between tradition and modernity, the relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization, continue the Chinese cultural context, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and promote the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization; In the face of the continuous development of the global "one network" and the information society, how to use the achievements of the information revolution to firmly occupy the commanding heights of communication, such as guidance, ideological guidance, cultural inheritance, and serving the people, so that the Internet, the biggest variable, has become the largest increment in career development; In the face of the new situation of various ideological and cultural exchanges and confrontations around the world, how to accelerate the construction of a socialist cultural power, enhance cultural soft power, and improve China's international discourse; In the face of the chaos and chaos of the world today, the accelerated evolution of the changes in a century, how to enhance mutual learning between civilizations, and so on, are all major cultural questions raised by the changes of the new era. * Cultural thought is formed in the process of creatively answering these important cultural questions. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has always observed the changes of the times with a strong sense of problems and thought about cultural issues with deep cultural feelings. At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, he pointed out: "During this time, I have been thinking about the major issue of promoting the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. That's why this symposium is being held. On the assertion that "cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence, and the most basic, deepest and most lasting force in the development of a country and a nation"; the thesis on "persistently integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture"; On the thesis that "to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, it is necessary to handle the relationship between inheritance and creative development, and focus on creative transformation and innovative development"; Regarding "exchange and mutual learning are the essential requirements for the development of civilization. Only by exchanging and learning from other civilizations and learning from each other'......s strong points can we maintain vigorous vitality."These are all original achievements formed in the process of answering major cultural questions. These rich ideological achievements have profoundly expounded the orientation of the times, strategic significance, essential characteristics, missions and tasks, development paths, value axes, principles and political guarantees, and constituted a scientific theoretical system for building a socialist cultural power and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. "The leap of theory is not reflected in the novelty of words and sentences, nor in the self-consistency and self-proof of logic, but in the final analysis, it should be reflected in answering practical questions and leading the development of practice. "The reason why it is said that the first cultural thought is the latest achievement of the sinicization and modernization of Marxist cultural theory is that in the process of creatively answering the cultural questions of the current era, the cultural thought has formed a series of original achievements, and has effectively led the transformative practice and breakthrough progress of the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics since the new era. Create a guide to action worthy of the new culture of our timeCultural thought not only has the innovation and breakthrough of cultural theory, but also the deployment requirements of the layout of cultural work, and the roadmap and task book of cultural construction in the new era have been clarified, and a strong ideological and scientific action guide has been provided for doing a good job in the propaganda and ideological and cultural work of the new era and new journey, and taking on the new cultural mission. * Cultural thought points out the glorious mission of the Chinese nation's cultural endeavor in the new era. **The general secretary pointed out: "It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. This important exposition has established the goal of building socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and profoundly expounded the specific connotation and action logic of creating a new glory of socialist culture. We must continue to deepen our understanding of the regularity of cultural construction, continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point. * Cultural thought points out the only way for the new culture to forge ahead. **The general secretary pointed out: "It is the only way to open up and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics on the basis of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization and to integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture. This is the understanding of the regularity that we have drawn in exploring the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is the most important treasure for our success. The "two combinations" are the only way to write a new chapter of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and it is also the only way to better undertake the new cultural mission. In the new cultural process, we must consciously adhere to the soul of Marxism and the root of China's excellent traditional culture, effectively integrate the essence of Marxist ideology with the essence of China's excellent traditional culture, integrate it into a new cultural advantage, and constantly create new cultural life forms in the process of "integration" to promote the new development of culture. * Cultural thought points out the cultural spirit that should be exalted in the new cultural endeavor. At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the general secretary particularly emphasized the need to strengthen cultural self-confidence, uphold openness and inclusiveness, adhere to integrity and innovation, and highly summarized the cultural spirit that needs to be maintained and carried forward to better undertake the new cultural mission. Only a nation with cultural self-confidence can stand, stand firm, and go far; Openness and inclusiveness have always been the vitality of civilization development; Only by keeping integrity can we not lose ourselves and not lose our direction, and only by innovating can we grasp the times and lead the times. We must integrate these cultural spirits into the spiritual temperament and cultural character of the whole nation, constantly enhance cultural subjectivity, and cultivate spiritual independence. More actively learn from all the outstanding achievements of civilization created by mankind, fuse the past and the present, and connect the East and the West; With the righteousness and vigor of integrity and innovation, we will continue the historical context and write a contemporary chapter. * Cultural thought points out the key tasks that the new cultural endeavor should focus on. In the important instructions on the propaganda, ideological and cultural work, the general secretary clearly emphasized that efforts should be made to strengthen the party's leadership over propaganda, ideological and cultural work, focus on building a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, focus on cultivating and practicing the core values of socialism, and strive to enhance the credibility of the news dissemination power, guidance, influence, and credibility, and strive to continue the Chinese cultural context, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and strive to promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries. Efforts should be made to strengthen international communication capacity building and promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. ** These aspects called for by the general secretary are the strategic priorities of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. We should earnestly enhance the sense of cultural responsibility and mission, cultivate cultural feelings, enhance the consciousness of action, focus on these strategic aspects of diligence, innovation and exploration, and strive to create a new culture that belongs to our era and is worthy of our time.
