Since China embarked on reform and opening-up in 1978,the Communist Party of China(CPC)has constantly deepened its theoretical understanding of cultural development,made great efforts to pro-mote the prosperity and development of its cultural undertakings,and have progressively delineated a cultural development trajectory that aligns with Chinese principles,embodies a Chinese style,and exhibits the grandeur of China.In order to better understand the historical evolution of the cultural construction led by the CPC,the statistical analysis of word frequency and text content analysis were carried out based on the relevant discourse related to culture embodied in the reports from the 12th CPC National Congress to the 20th CPC National Congress since the launch of reform and opening-up in 1978.The research results show that successive changes in dif-ferent stages can be found in the exploration process of cultural construction led by the CPC.Its historical evolu-tion process is manifested from debugging breakthrough to deepening exploration and then to upholding funda-mental principles and breaking new ground;and it follows the evolution trend of increasingly enriching its con-notation and essence,gradually expanding its main structure,deepening its functional positioning,and increas-ingly clarifying its practical concepts.
