We must study and implement the spirit of the General Secretary’s important speech, and put it in the scientific system of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to systematically study and deeply understand, deeply understand the development history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, promote the in-depth research on Chinese civilization history, promote the whole Party and society to enhance historical awareness, strengthen cultural confidence, and unswervingly follow Chinese characteristics.The socialist road is united and strived for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The light of civilization illuminates the journey of national rejuvenation
“If there were no Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, where would there be any Chinese characteristics? If it were not for Chinese characteristics, how could there be such a successful path of socialism with Chinese characteristics today?” In the mid-spring of 2021, in Zhu Xi Garden, on the Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain, General Secretary Xi Jinping thought about connecting thousands of years, learning from the past and knowing the future, and deeply expounded the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese path, fully demonstrating our party’s incomparably firm cultural confidence and historical initiative.
The stratigraphic relics unearthed from the Zhongba site in Chongqing include all the stratigraphic relics from the late Neolithic period, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and can allow people to intuitively feel the greatness and shock of China’s civilization for more than 5,000 years.

Figure 2 and Figure 3 are the lace round bottom jars and lace pointed bottom jars unearthed from the Zhongba site (Picture source: Science Press). Marx pointed out profoundly: “People create their own history, but they do not create as they please, nor create them under the conditions they choose, but under the conditions they directly encountered, established, inherited from the past.” What kind of development path a country and nation chooses is not only subject to specific political and economic factors, but also depends on the unique historical and cultural traditions. The unique cultural tradition, unique historical destiny, and unique basic national conditions are destined that the Chinese path must come out of the historical heritage of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years.
This “development path that suits one’s own characteristics” originates from the faithful inheritance and promotion of the excellent traditional Chinese culture by the Communist Party of China. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: “We are Marxist historicists, and we should not cut off history. From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, we should summarize and inherit this precious legacy.” Our party has always insisted on treating history and culture with a Marxist attitude, attaches great importance to summarizing experience, drawing wisdom from the excellent traditional Chinese culture, grasping social laws, and guiding the direction. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood at the height of China’s civilization for more than 5,000 years.Focusing on upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, with a broad vision and profound vision, we repeatedly emphasize the need to respect history, study history, establish historical thinking, and inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture. At important time nodes such as the celebrating the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, at important meetings such as the symposium on philosophy and social sciences, the international academic seminar commemorating the 2565th anniversary of Confucius’ birth, and other important meetings, at the headquarters of UNESCO, the European Academy of Bruges and other international occasions, during the collective study and investigation of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, in the congratulatory letter and reply letter, the General Secretary made a series of important statements, put forward a series of clear requirements, and made a series of strategic deployments, pointing out the direction for in-depth research on Chinese civilization history and better inheritance and promotion of the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
About the status and role of Chinese civilization history. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: History is a true record of the formation, development, and its rise and fall of a nation and a country, and is a collection of various knowledge, experience and wisdom of predecessors; contemporary China is the continuation and development of historical China. Only by insisting on moving from history to the future and forging ahead from the continuation of national cultural bloodline can we do our cause well today. These important statements profoundly reveal the great significance of the study of Chinese civilization history and Chinese civilization history to national development, national prosperity and civilization inheritance.
About adhering to a correct view of history. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: We must establish and adhere to the correct historical view, national view, national view, and cultural view, and enhance the backbone and confidence of being a Chinese; a nation that abandons or betrays its own history and culture will not only be impossible to develop, but will also be likely to stage historical tragedies, and we must clearly oppose historical nihilism. These important statements clearly answer the question of what position and attitude to treat the history of Chinese civilization, and fully reflect the scientific materialist historical view.
About the status and role of China’s excellent traditional culture. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: China’s excellent traditional culture is the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation, an important source for cultivating the core socialist values, and a solid foundation for us to gain a foothold in the world’s cultural turmoil; cultural confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper confidence, and a more basic, deeper and more lasting force. These important statements profoundly illustrate our party’s position and attitude towards traditional culture, and clarify the important role of Chinese history and culture in gathering national strength and building a solid spiritual foundation.
About inheriting and developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: We must handle the relationship between inheritance and creative development well, adhere to the use of the past for the present, introduce the past and bring new things out, treat it with discrimination, and inherit it with discrimination, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture; insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality and with China’s excellent traditional culture. These important statements profoundly explain the relationship between “preservation” and “change” in inheriting and developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and demonstrate the distinctive nature of the Chinese Communists who have always been loyal heirs and promoters of the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
About drawing historical wisdom to promote governance of the country. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the Chinese nation has accumulated rich experience in governing the country, and we must learn from the past and learn from the present and learn from history wisely; upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era requires a systematic study of Chinese history and culture, and a deep understanding of the historical laws of human development, draw wisdom from in-depth thinking about history and move towards the future. These important statements reveal the functions of historical science as practical and practical, and reflect the distinctive characteristics of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s governance based on history.

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements fully demonstrate the Chinese Communists’ deep understanding of the history of Chinese civilization and China’s excellent traditional culture, and their scientific grasp of the laws and logic of human social development. They are an important part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Guided by these important statements, the study of Chinese civilization history in the new era and the inheritance and development of excellent traditional Chinese culture continues to make new progress and new achievements, inspiring the Chinese people to be confident and self-reliant, and gathering a strong spiritual force to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

——Archaeology proof of civilization context, and gradually understand the cultural resources and the family background. More than 8,800 archaeological excavations have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the Chinese civilization source exploration project and major “Archaeological China” projects have achieved fruitful results. A number of important sites such as Liangzhu, Zhejiang, Shimao, Shaanxi, Erlitou, Henan, and Sanxingdui, Sichuan have proved that the history of Chinese civilization has been verified for more than 5,000 years. The first national movable cultural relics survey and special surveys on grottoes and templesCheck it out. There are more than 5,000 key cultural relics protection units in the country. The total number of world heritage sites in China has reached 56, including 38 world cultural heritages and 4 dual heritages of culture and nature. It is a veritable country with cultural relics resources.
——The protection of cultural heritage is constantly increasing.

Thousands of major cultural relics protection projects have been implemented, and the construction of the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Long March, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River National Cultural Park has been carried out in an orderly manner.
Promote the Chinese Civilization Source Exploration Project to achieve more results
Liangzhu, Yuhang, Zhejiang, “a beautiful continent in the water.” On July 6, 2019, at the 43rd World Heritage Conference, the China World Heritage nomination project “Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins” was included in the World Heritage List, marking that China’s more than 5,000-year civilization history has been widely recognized by the international community.
The ruins of Liangzhu Ancient City are a vivid epitome of the remarkable achievements of the Chinese civilization’s origin exploration project. Chinese civilization is one of the four major civilizations in the world. It has continued to this day and has occupied a unique and important position in the history of human civilization. How did Chinese civilization originate and form? What kind of process has the early development of Chinese civilization gone through? Due to the lack of documentary records, answering these major issues related to the research on the history of Chinese civilization and the history of world civilization can only rely on archaeology to obtain first-hand information.
In the 20 years since the implementation of the Chinese Civilization Source Exploration Project, focus on four urban sites in Liangzhu, Yuhang, Zhejiang, Xiangfen Taosi, Shanxi, Shenmu Shimao, Shaanxi, Erlitou, Yanshi, Henan, as well as other central sites such as the Yellow River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin, and the Liaohe River Basin, and large-scale archaeological investigations have been carried out on settlements around these sites. Through a series of major archaeological discoveries and multidisciplinary comprehensive research, China’s civilization has been verified for more than 5,000 years, revealed the rich connotation of Chinese civilization, and provided rich spiritual motivation and source for enhancing the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping combined international and domestic, historical and realistic to comprehensively and scientifically analyze the Chinese Civilization Source Exploration Project, affirming the results, clarifying tasks, and deploying work.
——From the results, General Secretary Xi Jinping affirmed the research on the Chinese Civilization Source Exploration Project and other researches.tps://funnybookish.com/”>CinemaResult: “It has proved that our country has a million years of human history, a ten thousand years of cultural history, and a five thousand years of civilization history”; “I have a clear understanding of the historical context of the origin, formation and development of Chinese civilization, the formation and development process of the diverse and integrated pattern of Chinese civilization, the characteristics and reasons for the formation of Chinese civilization, etc.”; “I propose a solution to define civilization and identify China to enter a civilized society, and make original contributions to the study of the origin of world civilization.”
—From the task, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The achievements made in the project are still preliminary and phased, and there are still many historical mysteries waiting to be solved, and there are still many major issues that need to be reached through empirical and research, especially the complete display of the history of the Xia Dynasty still has a lot of work to be done.”
—From the deployment, General Secretary Xi Jinping Note: “Strengthen overall planning and scientific layout, adhere to multi-disciplinary, multi-angle, multi-level, and all-round, closely focus on the joint research of archaeology, history, humanities and natural sciences, broaden the scope and coverage of research time and space, and further answer major issues such as the basic picture, internal mechanism of the origin, formation and development of Chinese civilization, and the evolution path of civilization in various regions”; “Do a good job in the publicity, promotion and transformation of my country’s ‘ancient civilization theory’ and the research results of the Chinese civilization exploration project, strengthen the research, interpretation, display and dissemination of unearthed cultural relics and sites, and enhance the influence and appeal of Chinese civilization.”
Provide theoretical support for the construction of new forms of human civilization
“We adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization, create a new path of Chinese modernization, and create a new form of human civilization. “At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stood at the height of the 5,000-year civilization history of the Chinese nation, scientifically explained the profound impact of the Party’s century-old struggle on the course of the Chinese nation and the world’s history, and emphasized that the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people will steer on the path they choose, and firmly grasp the destiny of China’s development and progress in their own hands.

History is the root of Babaylan reality. Only by understanding where a country comes from can we understand how this country is like today, and can we also understand where this country will go in the future. “In the long history of civilization development for more than 5,000 years, the Chinese people have created the dazzling Chinese civilization and made significant contributions to the cause of human civilization progress.” However, since modern times, China has gradually become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, with the country being humiliated, the people being distressed, and civilization being covered with dust. After the founding of the Communist Party of China, it united and led the people to strive for self-improvement and work hard, successfully embarked on a new path of Chinese-style modernization, created a new form of human civilization, profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development, expanded the ways for developing countries to move towards modernization, and provided new choices for countries and nations in the world that both hoped to accelerate development and maintain their own independence.
More than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization has continued and lasted for a long time. In the process of long-term evolution, a unique value system, cultural connotation and spiritual qualities have been formed, which are the fundamental characteristics that distinguish us from other countries and nations. Without these historical and cultural heritage, it is difficult to correctly understand China. For a long time, many people in the West have been accustomed to seeing China as a modern nation-state in the perspective of Western modernization theory. They have not looked at China from the perspective of more than 5,000-year civilization history, so it is difficult to truly understand China’s past, present and future.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward three requirements on “deeply study of the characteristics and forms of Chinese civilization and provide theoretical support for the construction of new forms of human civilization”: First, we must closely combine the study of the origin of Chinese civilization with the research on major issues such as the characteristics and forms of Chinese civilization, and conduct in-depth research and explanation of the development path of the Chinese nation and the evolution pattern of the diversified and integrated development of the Chinese nation as indicated by the origin of Chinese civilization, and study and explain the spirit of Chinese civilization to be kind, value people-oriented, uphold integrity, respect justice, advocate harmony, and seek harmonyBabaylan characteristics and development forms to clarify the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese path; second, we must adhere to the use of the past for the present, innovate the past, and inherit and promote the excellent components of Chinese traditional culture; third, we must establish a discipline system, academic system, and discourse system of civilization research with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, and implement a new form of human civilization.Practice provides strong theoretical support.
Promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture

“A drop of water can see the sun, and a Sansu Temple can show the profoundness of our Chinese culture. We say that we must strengthen our cultural confidence. China has the “Three Su”, which is an important example.” In midsummer 2022, the Sansu Temple, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: “We have been cultivated in this land. The whole party and nation must respect our own culture and strengthen cultural confidence.”
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the crystallization and essence of Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to gain a foothold in the turmoil of world culture. In the great practice of leading the people in revolution, construction and reform, the Communist Party of China has always “adhered to combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality and with China’s excellent traditional culture, constantly promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture.”
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas, new views and new conclusions on promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture with a far-sighted strategic vision and deep and firm cultural confidence. He repeatedly emphasized that China’s excellent traditional culture is the outstanding advantage of the Chinese nation and must be inherited and promoted in combination with the conditions of the new era. In this important speech, the General Secretary further put forward requirements from three aspects: First, adhere to the principle of adhering to the positive and innovative nature of Cinema, promote the adaptation of the excellent traditional Chinese culture to the socialist society, demonstrate the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation, and better build the Chinese spirit, Chinese values, and Chinese strength; Second, adhere to the fundamental guiding ideology of Marxism, inherit the revolutionary culture, develop advanced socialist culture, and find the source of fresh water from the excellent traditional Chinese culture; Third, make full use of the research results of the Chinese civilization source exploration project and other research results, tell the ancient Chinese history more completely and accurately, and better play the role of educating people with history.
Use exchanges and mutual learning of civilizations to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind
“Dunhuang is an important gateway for China to the Western Regions. Ancient Chinese civilization gathers and blends with ideas, religions, arts and cultures from different countries and regions such as ancient India, ancient Greece, and ancient Persia. With a broad mind of embracing all rivers and openness and inclusiveness, Chinese civilization constantly absorbs and learns from the outstanding achievements of foreign civilizations, creating a unique Dunhuang culture and the Silk Road spirit.”
The splendor of Dunhuang culture,It is a model of Chinese civilization’s continuous integration for thousands of years. On August 19, 2019, during a discussion at the Dunhuang Research Institute, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: “Only a civilization full of confidence can maintain its national characteristics while tolerating, learning from and absorbing various civilizations.”
Chinese civilization has been famous for its openness and inclusiveness since ancient times. It has continuously radiated new vitality through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations, and has contributed a profound ideological system, rich scientific and technological cultural achievements, and unique institutional creation to the world, which has profoundly influenced the process of world civilization. In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a thorough understanding of history and reality, the international and domestic situation, and profoundly explained: “The development history of Chinese civilization over 5,000 years has fully proved that whether it is species, technology, resources, people, or even ideas and culture, it has been developed and improved through continuous dissemination, communication and interaction.”
Dunhuang culture has lasted for nearly two thousand years and is the largest existing scale and lasting time in the world. The longest, richest content and most complete art treasure house, is a shining pearl in the long river of world civilization, and is also a precious historical material for studying the politics, economy, military, culture and art of various ethnic groups in ancient my country.

“We must use civilized exchanges and integration to solve the ‘clash of civilizations’.” This is not only a summary of historical experience, but also an urgent requirement of reality. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has coordinated the domestic and international situations, and has a high degree of cultural confidence and a broad mind that embraces all rivers. He has repeatedly emphasized on many major occasions: “Humans only have different skin color and language, and civilization only has different colors and colors, but there is no distinction between high and low quality and bad quality”; “Civilizations communicate because of diversity, learn from each other through exchanges, and develop from each other through mutual learning.” In July 2022, in a congratulatory letter to the opening ceremony of the “Source of Italy – Ancient Roman Civilization Exhibition”, the General Secretary once again emphasized that “mutual respect, unity and harmony are the correct path for the development of human civilization.” These important statements have scientifically revealed the development laws of human civilization, embodied the crystallization of wisdom of the Chinese nation in long-term civilization exchanges, and pointed out the direction for promoting the progress of human civilization and world peace.
China is not only an advocate for promoting exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations and building a community with a shared future for mankind, but also a practiceand leader. General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to jointly build the “Belt and Road”, strengthen dialogue on civilizations, and advocate the Silk Road spirit of “peaceful cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win” which is an important measure to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with countries around the world and promote dialogue and cultural exchanges between civilizations and countries under new historical conditions. From the “Belt and Road Initiative”, to the construction of free trade pilot zones, the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, and the holding of the China International Import Expo; from expanding the opening of financial, manufacturing, service and other fields, to expanding international cooperation in the fields of capital, talent, science and technology, culture, China is increasingly becoming a distinct banner that leads the trend of the times and the direction of progress of human civilization.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward three requirements for promoting the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations: First, adhere to the promotion of the civilization concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, understand the understanding of the value connotation of different civilizations with a broad mind, respect the exploration of the people of different countries’ exploration of their own development path, use civilized exchanges to transcend civilization barriers, use civilized mutual learning to transcend civilization conflicts, use civilized coexistence to transcend civilization superiority, and promote the common values of all mankind contained in Chinese civilization; Second, based on the land of China, tell the story of Chinese civilization well, and show the credible, lovely and respectable image of China to the world; Third, explain clearly what kind of civilization and what kind of country China is, explain clearly the Chinese people’s view of the universe, the world, the social view, and the moral view of the morality, and show the long history and humanistic background of Chinese civilization, so as to encourage the world to understand China, the Chinese people, the Chinese people, the Communist Party of China, and the Chinese nation.
Let more cultural relics and cultural heritage come alive
Exhibition of scrolls, question seal scripts, sing silk, search for stones, practice brushes, temper ink, and enter paintings… The 2022 Tiger Year CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the dance poetry drama “Only This Green” leads the audience into the palace of Chinese aesthetics with its lively and graceful dance postures, Zen and rich imagination scene movements, and inspires pride and confidence in the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Cultural relics and cultural heritage carry splendid civilization, inherit historical culture, and maintain national spirit. While protecting and managing cultural relics well, strengthening research and utilization is not only a manifestation of the value of cultural relics, but also a cultural heritage and development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that “we must systematically sort out traditional cultural resources” and “let the cultural relics collected in museums, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books come alive.” On the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the founding of the National Museum of China, the General Secretary once again emphasized in his reply to the museum’s old experts, “Promote the revitalization and utilization of cultural relics, promote exchanges and mutual learning in civilizations, protect, inherit and display the excellent achievements of Chinese civilization.” Under the guidance of the General Secretary’s important statements, China’s excellent traditional culture has been continuously awakened, activated and promoted, and cultural relics and cultural heritage are becoming more and more vibrant. The “Digital Forbidden City” of the Palace Museum, the “Cantonese on the Wall” of the Shanxi Museum, and the “Digital Ancient Books” of Tianyi Pavilion use “Technology +” to break through the physical world of cultural relics and audiences.To achieve the transformation from “showing flowers” to “immersive” to “immersive”; from “National Treasure” to “China Archaeological Conference”, from “I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City” to “If National Treasures Can Talk”, cultural relics interact with education, marriage with science and technology, graft with creativity, and integrate with tourism in the new era, and constantly meet people’s yearning for a better life.
In this important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping further put forward clear requirements: we must actively promote the protection and utilization of cultural relics and the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, explore the multiple values of cultural relics and cultural heritage, and spread more value symbols and cultural products that carry Chinese culture and the Chinese spirit; leading cadres at all levels must respect history and excellent traditional culture, attach importance to the protection and utilization of cultural relics and the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and provide more policy support for historical and archaeologists to carry out research, study, further study, and exchanges; we must create a strong social atmosphere for inheriting Chinese civilization, widely publicize the research results of the Chinese civilization source exploration project, educate and guide the masses, especially young people, to better understand and identify with Chinese civilization, and enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of being a Chinese.
“China has firm confidence in the path, theory and system, and its essence is cultural confidence based on more than 5,000 years of civilization inheritance.” Sucking the cultural nutrients accumulated by the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, on the magnificent journey of achieving the second centenary goal, under the guidance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the Chinese people have taken their own path, have an extremely profound historical heritage, an extremely broad stage of the times, and an extremely strong determination to move forward!
