Chinese culture has a long history and Chinese civilization is profound and diverse, which not only gives Chinese-style modernization a deep heritage, but also gives the modern civilization of the Chinese nation a profound connotation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Symposium on Cultural Inheritance and Development that "we should be firm in our cultural confidence, take up the mission, and work hard to create a new culture for our age and build a modern civilization for the Chinese nation"; "only through a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the history of Chinese civilization can we more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, more vigorously promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and build a modern civilization for the Chinese nation. These important statements point out the way forward for us to take up the new cultural mission and promote the building of a modern civilization for the Chinese nation. Excellent traditional Chinese culture plays an irreplaceable and important role in building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. We should deeply study and understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, constantly deepen our understanding of the regularity of cultural construction, consciously pass on and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and make greater contributions to the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

The Chinese nation created a world-renowned splendid culture and achievements during the agricultural era, becoming the only one of the world's four major civilizations that has not been interrupted, and demonstrating the profound heritage, resilience and everlasting vitality of Chinese civilization. This vitality stems from the outstanding continuity and innovativeness of Chinese civilization. Looking at the long history of the development of Chinese civilization, we deeply feel the historical resilience of Chinese civilization, which has lasted through the vicissitudes of life; reading the philosophical ancient Chinese classics, we deeply feel the thickness of thought and the beauty of discernment of the rich and subtle legacy of the philosophers; when we appreciate the ingenious and exquisite Chinese traditional crafts, we deeply feel the design ingenuity and innovative craftsmanship of the simple but exquisite artifacts; when we search for and experience the daily customs and aesthetics of life of the Chinese people who are emotionally deep and full of interest, we deeply feel the wisdom and vitality of life in the traditional society which is characterized by a deep sense of human relationships and a well-ordered etiquette. With such a profound and extensive excellent cultural tradition and ancient civilization, the cultural construction of the new era and the modern civilization of the Chinese nation will have a solid foundation.

The outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization is due to its excellent cultural genes, and even more so to its civilizational wisdom, which is full of innovation and vitality. The continuity of Chinese civilization is not a continuation of imitation and repetition, but an inheritance of innovation and development in keeping with the times. The great creations of Chinese civilization continue to develop in innovation - from the pottery of the Half-slope Site to the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Tang Three Colors of the Tang Dynasty; from the Shang and Zhou Dynasty onwards, the firing of porcelain, to the gradual maturity of porcelain in the Han and Tang dynasties, to the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty and the exquisite and elegant blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty; from Liangzhu culture in the Neolithic Age, to the exquisite golden and jade clothes in the Han Dynasty, and to the exquisite living jade ware in the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as the ingenious jade carving art in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the artifacts and cultures of the successive dynasties have all been perfected in the evolution and upgraded in the inheritance, and have continuously demonstrated the Eastern civilization and the style of Chinese nation. The great spirit of Chinese civilization shines in innovation - from the ritual and music culture of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the dance and music of the Han and Tang dynasties; from the Classic of Poetry and the Chu Ci to the Han Fugue, the Tang poems and the Song lyrics, and then to the Yuan dramas, Ming and Qing novels; from the historical evolution of the seal scripts, clerical scripts, regular scripts, running scripts, cursive scripts in Chinese calligraphy to the inheritance and transformation of the realism and the realism of paintings and the literary art of the successive dynasties, all of them have been inherited and developed through innovation, and continue to embellish the art hall of Chinese civilization. Until modern times, in the modern transformation of traditional culture, this continuity has never been interrupted, but in the process of change and innovation, it has not only maintained the national characteristics of culture and aesthetics, but also developed a modern culture adapted to the needs of the modern society, and gradually formed a modernized cultural form full of vigor and vitality. In the face of the new cultural mission of the new era, we should deeply explore the essence of traditional culture and the laws of development, strengthen the inheritance and development of excellent cultural genes, and keep the vein of Chinese civilization alive.

Chinese civilization is a bright flower in the history of human civilization, and its unceasing vitality stems are benefit from its unity and inclusiveness. The development of Chinese civilization has not been a smooth one, but rather one that has gone through difficult twists and turns and has accumulated a wealth of experience in governance in the course of its exploration and development. This is not only due to the traditional cultural wisdom that "it is better to learn from the past than from the present, and without the past one cannot be present", but also to the integration of the cultures of all ethnic groups, and to the common belief in national unity and national solidarity. This unity is not closed or rigid, but open and inclusive, based on a historical orientation of interaction, exchange and mingling, and an open mind towards the civilizations of the world. Unity provides a stable foundation for civilizational exchanges and mutual understanding, while inclusiveness injects vitality into unity. In the construction of the institutional form of modern civilization, we have not only inherited, carried forward and developed innovatively the wisdom of ancient Chinese thought on governance, but also actively borrowed and incorporated the advanced experience of modernization from countries all over the world. "A country becomes a country because of its people." In the institutional exploration of the modernization process, the CPC has led the Chinese people through twists and turns and difficult explorations to come up with a road of socialism with Chinese characteristics in line with their own national conditions, successfully opening up Chinese-style modernization. "Rich countries are rich because they give a lot to their people." Adhering to its people-centered stance, the CPC has actively responded to the people's aspirations for common prosperity and is committed to realizing common prosperity for all people. "Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me." Chinese modernization has embarked on a path that respects the laws of nature and conforms to the trend of green development, adhering to the concept that "green mountains and clear water are equal to mountains of gold and silver", guiding the construction of an ecological civilization with a holistic mindset, and incorporating the concept of people-centered into ecological thinking, reflecting the new connotation and broad vision of people-centeredness. "In practicing the right way, the world is shared by the people." The CPC not only focuses on the steady advancement of Chinese-style modernization and the creation of a new picture of modernization, but also promotes the common values of all mankind and promotes the building of a community of human destiny with the broad-mindedness of embracing the world.

Over the course of its long history, the peoples of all ethnic groups have jointly created a rich and varied Chinese culture, forged a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation, and brought together a powerful spiritual impetus for unrelenting growth, unity and progress. The Chinese nation has maintained a magnificent pattern and an open mind, drawing on and absorbing the fruits of the world's outstanding civilizations in the course of civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, and constantly manifesting new vitality in enriching the people's spiritual world and creating a modernized Chinese cultural form, thus endowing the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with a profound heritage. In the face of the new cultural mission in the new era, we should base ourselves on the principle of high-quality development of culture, carry forward the valuable spirit and values of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, set up the lofty ambition of creating cultural masterpieces and heirloom works of the times, improve the level of cultural inheritance and innovation in terms of quality, and provide cultural services and products of a high standard, so as to make the flower of Chinese civilization more bright and prosperous.

In the face of the new cultural mission of the new era, we should be firm in cultural self-confidence, uphold openness and tolerance, based on the great historical and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, adhere to the modernization of Marxism, continue the historical lineage and write contemporary chapters.
