Discourse Generation and Development Path of Modern Chinese Civilization
Modern Chinese Civilization was firstly put forward as a policy discourse in important conferences of the Party and the state.As for discourse structure,it is a composite discourse,including three elements of"Chinese nation","modernity"and"civilization"."Chinese nation"embodies the subjectivity of the discourse,"modernity"clarifies its directionality,and"civilization"defines its essence.The discourse has the overall characteristics of originality,systematicness and development.Behind the discourse generation stands a profound theoretical origin:Marxism provides theoretical support for modern Chinese Civilization,Chinese civilization offers ideological nourishment for it,and modern Western civilization works as its critical reference.To promote the construction of modern Chinese Civilization at this new starting point,we must firmly uphold cultural self-confidence and highlight the subjectivity of"Chinese nation"to take the path of self-confidence and self-improvement;carry forward openness and inclusiveness and grasp the directional requirements of"modernity"to take the path of cultural exchanges and mutual learning;and adhere to the principle of upholding the fundamentals while making innovations and deepen the essential requirements of"civilization"to take the path of internal improvement.
