A Comprehensive Construction of the Subjectivity of Chinese National Culture in the New Era
Subjectivity in the context of a na-tion can be described as its comprehensive life consciousness,encompassing cultural subjectivity both as a singular dimension and as an organic whole.Cultural subjectivity,moreover,can be viewed as a cultural heart through which broader aspects of subjectivity can be actualized.This study additionally assesses the new era of China as a historical coordinate for the comprehensive con-struction of cultural subjectivity.This construction of Chinese national cultural subjectivity can be an-alyzed through three horizontal dimensions:"Thinking","doing",and"speaking".It is found that these frameworks can fully demonstrate the internal logic of the construction of the subjec-tivity of the Chinese nation in the new era.Moreo-ver,the vertical elements—cultural genes,cultur-al consciousness,and cultural self-confidence—appear to have evolved and integrated into the a-bove three levels.By employing a dual perspective that interweaves vertical and horizontal dimen-sions,this study aims to present the comprehensive construction process of Chinese national cultural subjectivity in the new era in a three-dimensional way.At the"thinking"level,this article posits that:1)Based on local conditions and through the"second combination"(i.e.combining the basic principles of Marxism with traditional Chinese fine culture),Marxism should be adapted to the Chi-nese context,modernizing traditional cultural ele-ments to facilitate a historical reconstruction of Chinese cultural genes.2)In addition,utilizing an ordered approach of"Chinese reason → Chi-nese experience → Chinese theory,"an independ-ent national identity could be achieved,the theo-retical foundations of modern Chinese civilization could be improved,and strong theoretical support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation could be provided.3)By following a structural re-lationship of"Chinese nation → Chinese culture→ Chinese civilization,"and transitioning from the inside out and from ontology to consciousness,China could be understood through a Chinese lens.At the"doing"level,this paper holds that the construction of the subjectivity of the Chinese nation should align with the order of"Chinese na-tion → Chinese culture → Chinese civilization".This should involve:1)Using historical narratives to comprehensively consolidate the Chinese nation-al community from the aspects of history and theo-ry,laying a solid foundation for national cultural subjectivity;2)promoting the creative transforma-tion and innovative development of traditional Chi-nese fine culture,preserving revolutionary herit-age,advancing socialist culture,cultivating a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation,and shaping its cultural identity;and 3)constructing the cultural framework of Chinese modernization a-longside an independent knowledge system,there-by seeking to realize the cultural mission of the new era,and building a modern civilization for the Chinese nation to showcase cultural consciousness.At the"speaking"level,this article advo-cates for:1)An accelerated development of a Chi-nese discourse and a Chinese narrative system,fostering a Chinese cultural discourse that resonates with local historical contexts through in-depth ex-ploration,combing and refining,while activating traditional cultural genes to strengthen local narra-tive expression;2)promoting cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and other na-tions,enhancing the compatibility of Chinese nar-ratives,while balancing the subjective conscious-ness and references to"others"to promote Chinese and foreign narrative interaction;and 3)emplo-ying diverse narrative media to create a more inclu-sive and open discourse,effectively conveying Chi-nese stories and spread the Chinese voice.
