The Historical Underpinnings and Value Connotation of Bravely Shouldering the "New Cultural Mission"
Taking up the"new cultural mission"in the new era implies the fundamental task of"continuing to promote cultural prosperity,build a strong cultural country,and build a modern civilization for the Chinese nation from a new starting point".For more than a hundred years,the Communist Party of China(CPC),with a spirit of historical initiative,has assumed the historical responsibility of accelerating the renewal,transforming and developing of traditional culture,coping with the impact,penetrating and deconstructing of Western culture,and guiding the systematic construction and spiritual cultivation of socialist culture.The emergence of this important mission is the result of the historical process,in which the CPC has played a leading role in"new culture"since the modern times and eventually guided it to Marxism and socialism,and also forged the new culture in the new era and assumed the"new cultural mission".The significance of taking up the"new cultural mission"is that it highlights the extreme importance of culture in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation;it emphasizes the great dynamism generated by the ideological change of culture,and demonstrates the proletarian political party's positive historical initiative and thoroughgoing materialism;it has inherited the ideology and culture that serves the proletariat's"rule of the vast majority"and promoted the continued development of Marxism-Leninism on the basis of new historical conditions;it has constructed a spiritual genealogy and ideological"edifice"to lead the independent and peaceful development of late-developed countries,and provided cultural sustenance and strengthened the spiritual backbone for the construction of the autonomous knowledge system of the Chinese nation's modern civilization.
