Recently, Renmin University of China, Nanping Municipal People's Government and Wuyi College signed a Cooperation Agreement to Jointly Build the Wuyi Institute of Chinese Civilization, and held the first Wuyi Forum in Zhu Xi Garden on the theme of "Two Combinations: Chinese Civilization and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" to discuss the intrinsic connection between Chinese civilization and socialism with Chinese characteristics from the process of the Chinese-style of Marxism, the history of Chinese civilization, the history of global civilization, etc.

During his previous visit to Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "As we take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must promote the Chinese-style of Marxism. Without the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization there would be no Chinese characteristics; without Chinese characteristics there would be no road to socialism with Chinese characteristics, which we are successfully pursuing today." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his research trip to the city of Changde in Hunan Province this year that "colorful traditional cultures with local characteristics, which together constitute the brilliant Chinese civilization, also fuel economic and social development." To open up and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics based on the deep foundation of more than 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's concrete realities and with China's outstanding traditional culture is the inevitable way to go.

Chinese civilization is the only great civilization in the world that has continued to develop in the form of a nation. The excellent cultural genes of Chinese civilization are concentrated in the Chinese classics, which have successfully built up the unique spiritual world of the Chinese people, and have been translated into rituals and customs that have influenced Chinese people from generation to generation. Through the interpretation and revitalization of these classics, we can keep the spirit of the Chinese nation alive amidst the changes of the times. "Self-improvement," "Virtue," "Preparedness for danger," "Love of mankind." "world for the public," "governance is based on virtue," and "being kind to one's neighbors."...... The Chinese people have accumulated the concepts of the universe, the world, and society over a long period of time in the course of their production and life, and as a result, Chinese civilization continues to demonstrate its outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peacefulness.

From the sites of human activities in the Neolithic period to the ritual and music civilization of the Three Dynasties, and from the Way of Zhou and Confucius to the Science of Zhu and Wang ...... these cultural and intellectual treasures, which contain the ideal beliefs of the Chinese people in seeking truth and pragmatism, cultivating the body, ruling the country, and pacifying the world, are the valuable assets of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. The spirit of the Chinese nation has a long history and is so profound that it needs to be analyzed from the historical aspect and understood from the roots of the civilization, and also needs to be grasped horizontally by combining the material life, system and customs, and economic and political levels of each era, and it also needs to be studied in comparison with many types of civilizations in the history of mankind. We need to pay particular attention to mining the essence of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, combining the promotion of outstanding traditional Chinese culture with Marxist positions and views, and unswervingly following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The link between China's 5,000 years of civilization and socialism with Chinese characteristics is dynamic, and in order to grasp this link in a profound way, it is necessary to closely integrate it with Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is essentially the modernization of human beings, the pursuit of comprehensive human development, the construction of a more harmonious relationship between human beings, groups of people, countries and nations, and human beings and nature, and the emergence of a new and more sustainable path of human civilization. In the face of such a task of the times and historical mission, we need to attach importance to the inheritance of Chinese culture and use it to cultivate socialist core values in building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, so that Chinese modernization can become a modernization that coordinates material civilization and spiritual civilization, so that Chinese civilization can stand firm amidst the turbulence of the world's civilization, and so that the world can know about "developing China" and "open China", and "China contributing to human civilization".

Today, as we are actively building a modern civilization for the Chinese nation, we need to integrate the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of outstanding traditional Chinese culture and with the common values of the people on a daily basis. Only in this way can we continue to strengthen the historical foundation and mass base for the modernization of Marxism in China, so that Marxism can be firmly rooted in China and Chinese civilization can be revitalized in the new era. Especially in the face of young people in the digital age, we need to keep abreast of the times, constantly enrich the forms and channels of cultural inheritance and civilization dissemination, use sound, light and shadow according to the characteristics of digital dissemination, fully combine artistic creativity, technical expressiveness, and ideological infectiousness, realize the organic unity of the spirit of Chinese aesthetics and the pursuit of contemporary aesthetics, and realize the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a form that is enjoyable to young people, so as to activate the genes of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and let the spirit of the Chinese nation be deeply engraved in the hearts of young people.

The best way to inherit history is to create a new history, and the greatest tribute to human civilization is to create a new form of human civilization. Inheriting and promoting the outstanding traditional Chinese culture today, we aim to harmonize the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation with the process of Chinese-style modernization, to build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation that is rooted in China, oriented to the future, and oriented to the world, and to provide the Chinese wisdom, the Chinese way and the Chinese solution for the development of human civilization.
