To that end it is necessary to focus on human beings, refine and display the spiritual symbols and cultural essence of Chinese civilization, accelerate the construction of Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, create more outstanding works that highlight Chinese aesthetic tastes and reflect the pursuit of common values ​​of all mankind, and use literary and artistic forms to explain what we are experiencing The story of the new era shows a credible, lovely and respectable image of China, expresses universal concern for the destiny of mankind, allows people around the world to deepen their understanding of China and enhance their understanding of China in the process of artistic appreciation, and contributes to the progress of human civilization. Build bridges of mutual understanding, understanding, and tolerance, and write a literary and artistic chapter for a new form of human civilization

 Li Yi (李屹), Party Secretary and Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, has written a most interesting essay on the importance and forms of cultural production as aspects f national productive forces essential to the  realization of the project of socialist modernization in the new era. The essay, Deeply understand Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts and shoulder new cultural missions [深刻领会习近平文化思想担负起新的文化使命 学习时报 | 作者 李屹] appeared recently in Study Times [学习时报].  It represents a further development of the New Era's all around approach the development of the nation's productive forces as inevitably including cultural and social forces. In a sense it represents an older movement within Leninist theory that considers the role of the cultural and artistic within the framework of the Leninist imperative of vanguard forces to lead the nation toward its goal. That more ancient expression--a product of the European branch of Leninism transposed to the North American Caribbean, was expressed by Fidel Castro in 1961 in an address to the leading cultural and artistic forces of the nation of that era:

The Revolution must understand that reality, and consequently must act in such a way that the entire sector of artists and intellectuals who are not genuinely revolutionary find a place to work and to create within the Revolution, and so that their creative spirit will have an opportunity and freedom for expression within the Revolution, even though they are not revolutionary writers or artists. This means that within the Revolution, everything goes; against the Revolution, nothing. Nothing against the Revolution, because the Revolution has its rights also, and the first right of the Revolution is the right to exist, and no one can stand against the right of the Revolution to be and to exist, No one can rightfully claim a right against the Revolution. Since it takes in the interests of the people and Signifies the interests of the entire nation. (Fidel Castro Ruz, Pamphlet entitled Palabras a los Intelectuales (Words toIntellectuals), Havana, National Cultural Council, 1961).

In terms of Chinese Leninism of the New Era, the same divide separates patriots from counter-revolutionary forces. The former is to be accorded the privileges of democratic participation, the later the burdens of dictatorship. In a sense, them what is being developed here are the cultural aspects of the Peoples' Democratic Dictatorship (Chinese State Constitution Art. 1 (" The People’s Republic of China is a socialist state under the people’s democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants.")) to arts and culture. In that sense, it accords with the times. 

It applies as well those principles to the projection of New Era culture into the international sphere. It represents, in that respect, an emerging aspect of Socialist  Internationalism that is geared for time, space, and place.  Aligned with the related aspects of economic, political, and security convergence, the leveraging of socialist cultural production suggests the way that cultural production, like the production of ideological baselines, economic commodities, and political institutions and frameworks, can be deployed in the service of the overall construction of a socialist democratic framework that, in its own ways, mimics the framework of the cultural production of liberal democracy and its integration with the overall organization and functioning of social relations across fields of human collective enterprise. The difference, for the moment still significant, touches on (1) the identification of the leading forces (still more or less private and markets driven in liberal democracy; under the overall leadership of the political vanguard in Leninist states); and (2) the overall direction and utility of such cultural production. The inter-connectedness within Leninist circles is easy to spot at least in its formal constitution (it does get messy at the level of production); the connections and tensions are more informal and coordination by and through the state or elite institutions more difficult (but not impossible in the level of overall management  of cultural production at elite levels) in liberal democratic environments. The overall framing of patriot-opponent or inside-outside marks both in quite different ways. In both the fundamental issues remain: to what extent are current manifestations appropriately aligned to the overall ruling ideology (liberal democratic or Marxist Leninist); and, to what extent is a formation of development and post colonial ruling ideologies different?

习近平总书记强调，文化兴国运兴，文化强民族强。没有高度的文化自信，没有文化的繁荣兴盛，就没有中华民族伟大复兴；文化自信，是更基础、更广泛、更深厚的自信，是更基本、更深沉、更持久的力量；坚定文化自信，是事关国运兴衰、事关文化安全、事关民族精神独立性的大问题；有文化自信的民族，才能立得住、站得稳、行得远。这些重要论述告诉我们，坚定文化自信，就是坚持走自己的路，首要任务就是立足中华民族伟大历史实践和当代实践，用中国道理总结好中国经验，把中国经验提升为中国理论，既不盲从各种教条，也不照搬外国理论，实现精神上的独立自主。

文化自觉是文化自信的前提和基础，没有高度的文化自觉，就不可能有坚定的文化自信。习近平总书记指出，中国共产党是具有高度文化自觉的党，党的百年奋斗凝结着我国文化奋进的历史。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记深刻把握理论创新的魂和根，从文化使命和文明创造的高度，创造性地提出了“两个结合”特别是“第二个结合”的重要论断，系统阐明了“结合”的前提、结果、价值和意义，深刻揭示了“结合”的逻辑必然、实践规律和成果形态，为开拓文化创造新空间、巩固文化主体性、铸就文化新辉煌提供了根本指引，把文化自觉推进到了新的境界，进一步夯实了文化自信的根本依托。

习近平总书记强调，文化关乎国本、国运；文化是一个国家、一个民族的灵魂；面对改革发展稳定复杂局面和社会思想意识多元多样、媒体格局深刻变化，在集中精力进行经济建设的同时，一刻也不能放松和削弱意识形态工作，必须把意识形态工作的领导权、管理权、话语权牢牢掌握在手中，任何时候都不能旁落，否则就要犯无可挽回的历史性错误。这些重要论述告诉我们，做好宣传思想文化工作，必须把政治方向摆在第一位，坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度，建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态，建设具有强大生命力和创造力的社会主义精神文明，建设具有强大感召力和影响力的中华文化软实力。

宏阔的国际视野，开放的文明胸襟

习近平文化思想挺立时代潮头、统筹两个大局，从人类发展大潮流、世界变化大格局、中国发展大历史全面认识和把握文化的功能和价值，强调“文明因交流而多彩，文明因互鉴而丰富”，文明交流互鉴是推动人类文明进步和世界和平发展的重要动力，科学回答了“不同文明如何相处”“人类文明向何处去”的重大课题，充分彰显出宏阔的国际视野和开放的文明胸襟，彰显着对弘扬全人类共同价值、建设更美好世界的深刻洞见，必将载入人类文明发展史册。

当今世界变乱交织，百年变局加速演进，人类文明推进到一个新的十字路口，如何超越西方资本主义的文明发展模式，探索创造人类文明新形态，成为关乎人类命运和文明进程的重大问题。中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问提出了比过去更难、更复杂的新考题。习近平文化思想始终坚持平等、互鉴、对话、包容的文明观，以宽广视野吸收人类创造的一切优秀文明成果，不断总结实践新经验并将其升华为时代的思想精华，在开放包容中博采众长，在兼收并蓄中丰富发展，彰显了中华文化对世界文明兼收并蓄的博大胸怀，体现了大党大国的天下情怀和责任担当，构成了一个不断展开的、充满活力的开放式思想体系，必将随着实践深入而创新、丰富和发展。

Firm cultural confidence and high cultural awareness

Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts uphold the grand vision of a great view of history and a great civilization, insist on the integration of theory and practice, the connection of history and reality, and the unity of epistemology and methodology. It profoundly clarifies the extreme importance of cultural confidence and cultural consciousness, and scientifically answers Our confidence, value, and mission in strengthening cultural self-confidence and enhancing cultural consciousness have greatly enhanced our understanding of the status and role of culture in building a strong country and national rejuvenation, marking our party's understanding of the laws of socialist cultural construction with Chinese characteristics. Understanding has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s cultural confidence and cultural consciousness have reached a new height.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that culture revitalizes the country, and a strong culture strengthens the nation. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and without cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader, and deeper self-confidence, and a more basic, deeper, and more lasting force; firm cultural self-confidence, It is a major issue related to the rise and fall of the country, cultural security, and national spiritual independence; only a nation with cultural self-confidence can stand, stand firm, and go far. These important expositions tell us that to strengthen cultural self-confidence means to persist in following our own path. The first task is to base ourselves on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, use Chinese principles to summarize Chinese experience, and elevate Chinese experience into Chinese theory. We should neither blindly follow various This kind of dogma does not copy foreign theories and achieves spiritual independence.

Cultural consciousness is the premise and foundation of cultural self-confidence. Without a high degree of cultural self-consciousness, it is impossible to have firm cultural self-confidence. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the Communist Party of China is a party with a high degree of cultural consciousness, and the party’s century-old struggle embodies the history of my country’s cultural advancement. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has deeply grasped the soul and roots of theoretical innovation. From the perspective of cultural mission and civilization creation, he has creatively put forward the important conclusion of "two combinations", especially the "second combination", and systematically It clarifies the premise, results, value and significance of "combination", profoundly reveals the logical inevitability, practical rules and results of "combination", and provides fundamental guidance for opening up new cultural space, consolidating cultural subjectivity, and creating new cultural brilliance. , pushing cultural consciousness to a new level and further consolidating the fundamental basis for cultural self-confidence.

For the literary and art circles and the majority of literary and art workers, to study and implement Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts, we must deeply understand the firm cultural self-confidence and high cultural consciousness contained in it, and maintain a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s cultural ideals, cultural values, cultural vitality and creativity. We must have high confidence, keep the cultural mission in mind, grasp the theme of the times, continue the historical context, extract the essence and draw energy from the treasure house of Chinese culture, use colorful art to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture, and show the beauty of Chinese history, its mountains and rivers. The beauty of civilization and the beauty of civilization integrate cultural confidence into the spiritual temperament and cultural character of the entire nation, providing strong value guidance, cultural cohesion, and spiritual driving force for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Deep feelings for the people and strong sense of mission

Xi Jinping’s cultural thought adheres to the people-first stance, runs through the main line of people-centeredness, closely adheres to the people’s dominant position in history, practice and value, scientifically answers the fundamental questions of who culture comes from, who is for whom, and who belongs to, and is overflowing with enthusiasm. The theoretical character of people's nature realizes the organic unity of truth and value, profoundly embodies the essential attributes of Marxism and the ideological essence of China's excellent traditional culture, and fully demonstrates the nature, purpose and original mission of the party.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that socialist literature and art, in essence, is the people’s literature and art; the people need literature and art; literature and art need the people; literature and art must love the people; meeting the people’s spiritual and cultural needs should be the starting point and goal of literature and art and literature and art work. Treat the people as the subject of literary and artistic expression, regard the people as connoisseurs and judges of literary and artistic aesthetics, and regard serving the people as the bounden duty of literary and art workers; solve the fundamental questions of "for whom, who to rely on, and who am I?" These important expositions tell us that originating from the people, for the people, and belonging to the people is the fundamental position of socialist literature and art, and it is also the driving force for the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art. Only by adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, putting the people at the highest position in our hearts, taking the people's satisfaction and dissatisfaction as the highest standard for testing art, observing the people's lives, expressing the people's voices, and studying, describing, and singing about the people with heart and emotion , Only in this way can the literary and artistic undertakings be continuously moved forward in the right direction.

"The people" not only constitute the value foundation of Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, but also the foundation of this important thought's strong mission. Historical materialism believes that the people are the main body of history, the creators of all material wealth and spiritual wealth, and the decisive force in the progress of civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the best inheritance of history is to create new history, and the greatest tribute to human civilization is to create a new form of human civilization. Fundamentally speaking, history and civilization all come from people's production and life practices. In this sense, respecting the people is respecting history, and strengthening the people's spiritual strength is consolidating the driving force and foundation of civilization creation. To shoulder new cultural missions and create new history and new forms of human civilization, we must adhere to the people's dominant position, take satisfying the people's yearning for a better life as a value pursuit and practical goal, and constantly satisfy the people's diverse, multi-level and multi-faceted needs. The spiritual and cultural needs of the people have been constantly enriched.

For the literary and art circles and the majority of literary and art workers, to study and implement Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, we must deeply understand the profound people's feelings and strong mission contained in it, consciously unify adhering to the people's position and enhancing the sense of mission and responsibility, and "rooting" "People, take root in life" is the most fundamental, critical and reliable method of literary and artistic creation. Singing the motherland and praising heroes are the eternal themes of literary and artistic creation. It gives the most enthusiastic praise to the great process of the people creating history and pays tribute to all those who have contributed to the Chinese nation. We should give our most affectionate praise to those who strive for the great rejuvenation and all the heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the people, and launch more outstanding works that meet the people's cultural needs and enhance their spiritual strength, so that the garden of literature and art will always bloom for the people.

Distinctive positional awareness and courageous fighting spirit

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that culture is related to the foundation and destiny of the country; culture is the soul of a country and a nation; in the face of the complex situation of reform, development, stability, diverse social ideologies, and profound changes in the media landscape, while concentrating on economic construction, We must not relax or weaken ideological work for a moment. We must firmly hold the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in our hands, and must not let it go at any time, otherwise we will make irreparable historical mistakes. These important expositions tell us that to do a good job in promoting ideological and cultural work, we must put political direction first, adhere to the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the ideological field, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, and build Socialist spiritual civilization with strong vitality and creativity, and building Chinese cultural soft power with strong charisma and influence.

To fully carry forward the spirit of struggle and have the courage to overcome all risks and challenges on the way forward is an inevitable requirement for the propaganda, ideological and cultural work to be responsible for the country, to be responsible for the country, and to be responsible for the country, and it is also the due meaning of upholding the party's cultural leadership. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must take a clear-cut stand and adhere to the truth and stand firm to refute fallacies. The fighting spirit is both a powerful spiritual force and a specific working method. To carry forward the spirit of struggle, we must fully implement the ideological work responsibility system, enhance struggle skills, grasp the laws of struggle, improve the art of struggle, be unambiguous and dare to take responsibility in the face of major right and wrong and risks and challenges, sing the main melody, promote positive energy, and use socialism to Core values lead cultural construction to condense the soul and strengthen the foundation; we must cultivate a positive, healthy, upward and good Internet culture, turn the variable of the Internet into an increment of career development, and grasp the dominance of public opinion under information conditions power, broadly build social consensus, and continuously consolidate and strengthen the mainstream ideological and public opinion of the new era.

Broad international vision and open civilized mind

Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts stand at the forefront of the times, coordinate the two overall situations, comprehensively understand and grasp the functions and values of culture from the general trend of human development, the general pattern of world changes, and the history of China’s development, emphasizing that “civilizations become colorful because of exchanges, and civilizations become colorful because of mutual learning. "And enrich", exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for the progress of human civilization and world peace and development. They scientifically answer the major issues of "how different civilizations get along" and "where is human civilization going?", fully demonstrating a broad international vision. and open civilized mind, demonstrating profound insights into carrying forward the common values of all mankind and building a better world, and will surely be recorded in the history of the development of human civilization.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "people with culture can unite their souls; people with art can connect their hearts more easily with the world." "The national characteristics of literature and art reflect the cultural recognition of a nation." "Today, when the future and destiny of all countries are closely linked, different civilizations Tolerance, coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning play an irreplaceable role in promoting the modernization process of human society and prospering the world's civilized gardens." He creatively proposed the Global Civilization Initiative, advocating respect for the diversity of world civilizations, promoting the common values of all mankind, and attaching importance to civilization. Inheriting and innovating and strengthening international cultural exchanges and cooperation have been widely recognized by the international community, providing strategic guidance for promoting the progress of human civilization and responding to common global challenges. These important expositions tell us that to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must uphold openness and inclusiveness, be more proactive in learning from all the outstanding civilizational achievements created by mankind, promote the localization of foreign cultures, and resolve the "ancient and modern dispute between China and the West" through exchanges and mutual learning. In the process of keeping integrity and innovation, we will launch cultural achievements that integrate the past and the present and integrate China and the West.

The world today is intertwined with chaos, changes that have occurred over the past century are accelerating, and human civilization has advanced to a new crossroads. How to transcend the Western capitalist civilization development model and explore and create a new form of human civilization has become a major issue related to the destiny of mankind and the progress of civilization. Questions about China, the world, the people, and the times have raised new test questions that are more difficult and complex than in the past. Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts have always adhered to the civilizational concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and tolerance, absorbed all the outstanding civilizational achievements created by mankind with a broad vision, constantly summarized and practiced new experiences and sublimated them into the ideological essence of the times, and learned from others’ strengths in an open and inclusive manner.
