Cultural self-confidence based on four points

Author  :  Lü Mengdi     Source  :    Chinese Social Sciences Today     2017-05-22

The “2017 Capital Forum on Contemporary Chinese Marxism” was held in Beijing on May 12. Attending scholars had in-depth discussion based on the theme of “Carrying Forward Chinese Culture and Cementing Cultural Self-Confidence.”

Chen Xianda, a professor from Renmin University of China, said that being both political and academic, cultural self-confidence has deep internal relations with pathway, institutional and theoretical self-confidence. It provides cultural support for contemporary China’s choice of paths, institutional construction and theoretical innovation, and is a spiritual pillar of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Chen added.

Han Qingxiang, deputy director of education of the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC, stressed that cultural self-confidence should be consolidated based on four points. First, organic unification between hard and soft power must be achieved. Next, original, symbolic and influential core theories that can enhance China’s development should be established in China. Then, cultural self-confidence can be found in China’s institutional advantages. Finally, China’s discourse system and discourse power should be built.
