From the cosmopolitan perspective,Xi Jinping thought on culture is the theoretical product and action guide to coordinate the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the profound changes unseen in the world over a century.It takes the interaction between cultural nationality and cosmopolitanity as the core theme.Marxist historical materialism has fully interpreted the historical generation and logical proof of cultural nationality and cosmopolitanity in an all-round way,and revealed the special pattern of the"paradox"that cosmopolitanity may both awaken and erode nationality,which has been presented due to modern capital domination.Such has also become an important motivational source of the cosmopolitan dimension of Xi Jinping thought on culture.Based on the new era,Xi Jinping thought on culture has stuck to the dynamic balance between cultural open-up and cultural security,and formed an overall schema in defence of the cosmopolitan cultural diversity by defending our self-culture,respecting other cultures,and fighting against hegemonic culture.It has also pointed out the strategic goal of the compatibility between cultural nationality and cosmopolitanity,and proposed that we should not only consolidate the subjective position and maintain the national cultural characteristics with the world outlook and methodology of"Two Combination",but also set up the practical requirements of establishing a cosmopolitan vision and creating an ideal cultural ecology with the principle and thinking of"global civilization initiative".
