On June 2, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development: "The unity of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the integration of the cultures of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation and their strong cohesion even if they encounter major setbacks. It determines that the land cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be dispersed, and the culture cannot be dispersed. The unbreakable common belief determines that national unity will always be the core of China's core interests, and that a strong and unified country is the destiny of the people of all ethnic groups. "In traditional Chinese culture, the value concept of "One World Harmony" is rooted in the traditional culture of the Chinese nation's pursuit of "unification" and has created the common social ideal of a multi-ethnic country. Unity inspires us to work together to make new and greater contributions in the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
1. The inner meaning of the unity of Chinese civilization
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Chinese civilization's long-term tradition of unification has formed the unity of diversity and unity." In Chinese civilization, "the great road is the same, and the world is for the common good" is the core essence of its unity. The culture of harmony is the essence of China's excellent traditional culture, and the concept of harmony is the value orientation of the unity of the Chinese nation. From history to the present, the cultures of various ethnic groups in the Chinese nation have been deeply rooted in the profound heritage of Chinese civilization and the fertile cultural soil of splendid splendor. They have built a common spiritual homeland for the Chinese nation through exchanges, exchanges and blends, allowing all ethnic groups to gather together and be spiritually interdependent.
At the same time, the unity of Chinese civilization is of great significance to promoting Chinese-style modernization. In promoting Chinese-style modernization, unity embodies Chinese wisdom in solving the problems of nationality and modernity. It is also an important spiritual support for starting a new journey in forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.
2. Chinese-style modernization gives Chinese civilization the value of unity and the times
Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. It has the common characteristics of the modernization of all countries and has Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions. The five major characteristics of Chinese-style modernization are deeply rooted in China’s excellent traditional culture. "Modernization with a huge population" embodies the people-oriented thinking of "putting people first, strengthening the country's foundation"; "modernization with common prosperity for all people" coincides with the idea of "governing the country by enriching the people first" - the Chinese-style modernization path is guided by Marxism and based on China's excellent traditional culture. It is to accelerate socialist modernization and strive to achieve common prosperity. Yu has provided rich cultural support and ideological enlightenment; "modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated" is similar to the "physical and spiritual view" of life in Chinese civilization; "modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously" embodies the ecological philosophy of "harmony between man and nature, and Tao follows nature"; "modernization following the path of peaceful development" embodies the open mind of Chinese civilization of "harmony in diversity". In short, the unity of Chinese civilization is the driving force for Chinese modernization.
3. Discover the value and implication of the unity of Chinese civilization
The outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization endow Chinese-style modernization with strong social integration capabilities. Prominent unity will help bring together the strength of all Chinese people in the cause of modernization, and avoid the phenomenon of intensifying wealth differentiation and tearing apart social groups that has occurred in Western countries during the modernization process. For a country with a large population like China, how to overcome the imbalance in time and space in modernization development and coordinate the actions of different regions and groups is an important issue. Unity is deeply rooted in the Chinese cultural gene and "fundamentally determines the integration of the cultures of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation and their strong cohesion even in the face of major setbacks." It enables Chinese-style modernization to calmly respond to risks and pressures, coordinate and bring together the interest demands, political consensus and value pursuits of different ethnic groups, different regions and different social groups, unite all Chinese people into a unified and solid whole, and realize the beautiful vision of common prosperity.
The outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization provide rich ideological nourishment for Chinese-style modernization. While promoting the economic and social development of all ethnic groups, it promotes the all-round development of people and all-round social progress, demonstrating the unique value and charm of Chinese civilization.
The Chinese-style modernization that grew out of the land of China is the modernization of continuing ancient civilization, the result of cultural renewal, and the new destiny of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that Chinese-style modernization gives Chinese civilization modern power, and Chinese civilization gives Chinese-style modernization a profound foundation. Chinese-style modernization successfully integrates traditional wisdom and modern concepts, continuously develops the innovative power of Chinese civilization, and contributes Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to world peace and human progress.
