The Heart and Life of Culture:The Logic of Civilization Reconstruction in"the Second Combination"
We are still in the historical era delineated by Marxism,and Marxism is still the"living soul of civiliza-tion."The traditional Chinese culture has served as a cultural carrier of Marxism,whose cultural life is thus en-riched.The internal logic of"the second combination"lies in ordaining heart and soul for our culture,and secur-ing life and fortune for the heart and soul,thereby creating a new and integrated cultural organism.This cultural organism is not only the tangible Chinese version of Marxism,but also the cultural form of contemporary China and the modern form of Chinese civilization.It has a strong effect on the path and model of Chinese-style mod-ernization,endowing the Chinese path with a cultural foundation and civilization substance.It continuously shapes and reshapes the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the benign interaction between cultural cre-ation,civilization cultivation and practical innovation.
