Original title: Resolutely shoulder the new cultural mission of the new era.
Cultural thought is the cultural chapter of the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and it is a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the party's leadership in cultural construction in the new era, marking that our party's understanding of the law of socialist cultural construction with Chinese characteristics has reached a new height, indicating that our party's historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height. **The cultural ideology is rich in connotation and profound in thought. In the process of promoting the construction of a cultural power in the new era, we must earnestly study, deeply understand, and profoundly grasp the main content and scientific system of cultural thought, and consciously implement it in all aspects and the whole process of China's propaganda, ideological and cultural work in the new era, and become a strong spiritual driving force and fundamental ideological follow-up for us to solidly promote the construction of a socialist cultural power and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the new era and new journey.
Shaanxi is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, with a long history and culture, sages and famous philosophers, relics and ruins dotted, rich and thick ancient books, and the red culture centered on Yan'an is unique, and it has the unique advantages of spreading and carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. We must thoroughly study and implement the best cultural thoughts, resolutely shoulder the new cultural mission of the new era, give full play to the unique cultural resource endowment and profound cultural accumulation of our own cultural resources, continue to promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture in the land of Sanqin, continue to develop, inherit and sublimate, accelerate the construction of a more leading, inspiring, supply, competitive, and influential cultural province, and contribute to the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
It is necessary to fully explore the essence of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. **The general secretary pointed out: "The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the crystallization and essence of the wisdom of the Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in the turmoil of world culture." "The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics has been taken out under the guidance of Marxism, and it has also emerged from the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. Shaanxi has unique and rich resources of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and it has the responsibility and necessity to make more contributions to the practice of carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and promoting the construction of a socialist cultural power. We must insist on paying equal attention to protection and inheritance, demonstration and guidance, protect and revitalize Shaanxi's historical and cultural heritage, combine the cultural essence with the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, combine the activation of tradition with the promotion of tradition, the combination of history and reality, and strengthen the historical foundation and cultural blood of theoretical innovation. In recent years, Shaanxi has continuously promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, implemented national archaeological projects such as "Archaeological China" and "Chinese Civilization Exploration Project", promoted the construction of major projects such as the Great Wall, the Long March, and the Yellow River National Cultural Park (Shaanxi Section), built four national archaeological site parks, promoted the protection and inheritance of the intangible cultural heritage of the Yellow River Basin, refined and displayed the spiritual identity of China's excellent traditional culture, and strived to protect the cultural roots of the Chinese nation. At the same time, we have made sustained efforts to grasp the needs of the times and build an advanced socialist culture, thus forming a good atmosphere in which "everyone advocates moral models and everyone strives to be moral models." The "Star of Qinren" moral typical propaganda group organized more than 1,000 lectures, Lantian "Lan Xiaoxuan" and other grassroots theoretical propaganda brands carried out more than 5,000 propaganda activities, and the "Zhidan Civilization Caravan" and "Chenggu Township Sage Talking Compound" and other distinctive and fruitful experience and practices were widely promoted. Culture is like water, moisturizing things silently. Shaanxi has comprehensively prospered and developed socialist cultural undertakings and cultural industries, promoted high-quality cultural development, and provided the people with richer and more nutritious "spiritual food".
It is necessary to continue to work hard to forge the soul of red and inherit the revolutionary culture. **In the thirteen years in Yan'an, it is the thirteen years that the party has matured politically, ideologically and theoretically, and has also formed the Yan'an spirit that shines for thousands of years. On October 27, 2022, less than a week after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary led the new members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China to Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, to pay homage to the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Site. In the process of paying respects, the general secretary emphasized that the site of the Yan'an Revolution witnessed the glorious course of our party leading the Chinese revolution and exploring the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism during the Yan'an period, and it is a book that can never be finished. Shaanxi has more than 1,000 immovable revolutionary cultural relics, more than 40,000 pieces (sets) of movable revolutionary cultural relics, and more than 70 revolutionary memorial halls. We must make good use of the red cultural resources, vigorously carry forward the great spirit of party building and the spirit of Yan'an, carry forward their historical, theoretical, and contemporary values, and provide useful references for adhering to the "two combinations" and promoting theoretical innovation and popularization. It is necessary to dig deep into the connotation of revolutionary cultural relics and the value of the times, guide people to gain inspiration from the party's revolutionary history, arouse patriotic enthusiasm, and invigorate the national spirit. In recent years, our province has strengthened the protection and utilization, innovated the way of communication, and has invested more than 30 billion yuan in the protection of the old revolutionary sites, the construction and display of revolutionary memorial venues, as well as the free opening of museums, memorial halls and patriotic education bases, etc., giving full play to the leading role of red culture and driving the development of red tourism. Our province has set up propaganda groups such as the "Yan'an Spirit Propaganda Group" and the "Zhaojin Spirit Propaganda Group", carried out the "six advances" propaganda activities such as normalizing the campuses and institutions, and successively went to all parts of the country to preach, constantly activating the infinite vitality of the revolutionary spirit, constantly enhancing the influence and appeal of the revolutionary spirit, and promoting the integration of the core socialist values into the spiritual blood of the people, giving it a new connotation and spiritual power.
It is necessary to better promote Chinese culture to go global. History tells us that only through exchanges and mutual learning can civilization be full of vitality. Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty made two missions to the Western Regions, and the Silk Road opened a precedent for the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations; During the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 70 countries and regions with foreign envoys, and envoys, merchants, and students from various countries gathered in Chang'an; At the beginning of the 15th century, Zheng He, a famous navigator of the Ming Dynasty, went to the West seven times, reached many countries in Southeast Asia, and reached Kenya on the east coast of Africa, leaving behind a good story of friendly exchanges between China and the people of all countries along the way. In the era of increasingly extensive economic and cultural exchanges in the world and the rapid development of information technology, only by deepening exchanges and mutual learning can we promote Chinese culture to the world. We must give full play to the IP value of Chinese civilization, Chinese revolution, Chinese geographical spiritual signs and natural signs such as the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the Terracotta Warriors, Yan'an Pagoda Mountain, Qinling Mountains, Huashan Mountain, etc., based on the actual situation of Shaanxi, give full play to our own advantages, and show responsibility and contribution in inheriting the cultural roots of the Chinese nation and strengthening cultural self-confidence. It is necessary to guard and protect the roots of Chinese culture, highlight the historical and cultural imprints of the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, and actively promote the culture of Guanxue, loess, and Qinling. It is necessary to strengthen the protection of ancient and famous trees, traditional villages and rural characteristics, and do a good job in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage such as Qin dialect and Yangge in northern Shaanxi. It is necessary to carry the Tao in the text and convey the voice in the text, focusing on the "Belt and Road" countries and the five Central Asian countries, promoting the globalized, regionalized and differentiated expression of the Shaanxi story and the voice of China, excavating the stories of civilization exchanges and mutual learning such as Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions and Xuanzang's westward journey, expanding the influence of external propaganda brands such as "National Style and Qin Yun", "Silk Road Ten Thousand Miles" and cultural relics outreach, and organizing activities such as the public sacrifice ceremony of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the Silk Road International Art Festival, and the Silk Road International Film Festival, so as to better promote Chinese culture to go global. We will take concrete actions to implement the Global Civilization Initiative and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Thought leading, hard work is essential. On the new journey, we must deeply study and implement the best cultural thought, strengthen learning, research and interpretation, deeply understand its strong political appeal, theoretical penetration, and practical leadership, and consciously undertake the new cultural mission of promoting cultural prosperity, building a cultural power, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from the height of "the great man of the country". It is necessary to persist in casting the soul with literature, passing on the pulse with literature, benefiting the people with literature, developing the industry with literature, and setting standards with literature, constantly create a new situation in the province's propaganda, ideological and cultural work, and provide a strong ideological guarantee, strong spiritual strength, and favorable cultural conditions for Shaanxi's efforts to write a new chapter in Chinese-style modernization.
