Deeply grasp the diverse and integrated pattern of Chinese civilization and focus on building modern civilization of the Chinese nation
At the symposium on cultural heritage and development held in June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peace. These outstanding characteristics demonstrate the diversity and unity of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization. The long-term unified tradition of Chinese civilization has formed a unity of diversity, unity and centralization. The pursuit of unity of “inward cohesion” is the premise and result of civilization continuity. At the same time, Chinese civilization never replaces multicultural culture with a single culture, but instead gathers multiple cultures into a common culture, resolve conflicts, and build consensus. The diverse and integrated pattern of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the integration of cultures of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation, and also determines the historical orientation of exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation, and also determines that a strong and unified country is the basis of the fate of the people of all ethnic groups. These outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization have given the most basic cultural imprint and spiritual genes of the Chinese nation, become a unique spiritual symbol that distinguishes the Chinese nation from other nations, and maintains the Chinese people.The spiritual bond of all ethnic groups is also a treasure for cultural innovation of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation. At the symposium on cultural heritage and development, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the major proposition of “building modern civilization of the Chinese nation” and systematically elaborated on it. Building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is a heroic feat of a country with a multi-original pattern of civilization history, and it is also an inherent requirement for building a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation. We must deeply understand and grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization and the diverse and integrated pattern of Chinese civilization, adapt to the general development trend of the Chinese nation moving from history to the future, from tradition to modernity, and from diversity to unity, and strive to build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation and create a new form of human civilization.
Firstly grasp that cultural identity is the deepest level of identity, and promote the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. Promoting the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization is a Chinese characteristic of Chinese modernization and an important part of Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts. Correctly grasping the relationship between material and spirit, emphasizing the correct handling of the relationship between material and spiritual civilization from a dialectical, comprehensive and balanced perspective is the cultural stance that our party has always adhered to, and it is also a pair of Babaylan relationship that needs to be focused on when doing a good job in ethnic work in the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 2014 Central Ethnic Work Conference: “We need to rely on two forces to promote ethnic work, one is material force and the other is spiritual force.” Over the past period, our use of material force has been stronger and our use of spiritual force has been weaker. History and reality tell us that to solve the national problems well, material problems must be solved, and spiritual problems must be solved. If any side fails to solve the problems well, more problems will arise. Material and spiritual power each have their own functions and are largely irreplaceable to each other. One key opens the other, and the mental problems must be solved by strengthening the spiritual power. Therefore, solving the problem of national unity cannot be separated from the power of identity, and long-term and fundamentally rely on enhancing cultural identity. As General Secretary Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized, “Cultural identity is the deepest level of identity, the root of national unity and the soul of national harmony.” In the process of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, we must focus on realizing the relationship between material civilization and spiritual civilization.Coordinated modernization, while attaching importance to the economic and social development of ethnic minorities and ethnic areas, should give all reform and development the significance of demonstrating the sense of community of the Chinese nation, maintaining unity and opposing division, and improving people’s livelihood and uniting people’s hearts.

Education is something that penetrates into the blood and the soul. It must be taken from an early age and from kindergarten. We must grasp the lesson of patriotism education, bury the seeds of loving China deep in the hearts of every child, and let the core socialist values take root in the hearts of the next generation of the motherland. All ethnic groups should cultivate children to establish the awareness of being a member of the Chinese nation, and do not let children only know which ethnic group they are. First of all, they should know that they are the Chinese nation, which is the relationship between the moon and the stars. General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasized: “This matter must be done with great fanfare and persevere.”
