The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed that it is a must for us to focus on building a strong socialist cultural nation to further comprehensively deepen reform and promote Chinese-style modernization and it is also an important content to oppose and resist cultural nihilism in the construction of socialist cultural nation on the new journey.As a cultural chapter of Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era,Xi Jin-ping's cultural thought presents a theoretical landscape rich in dialectical characteristics,where it critically addresses and cre-atively constructs against cultural nihilism in many aspects with numerous original theoretical contributions made.It criticizes tendencies to sever cultural roots and advocates for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese tradi-tional culture,denounces the negation of the people's central role by upholding a cultural value stance centered on the peo-ple,opposes the promotion of Western centrism while advocating for the organic unity of cultural nationalism and internation-alism,and refutes arguments that undermine mainstream values,emphasizing the importance of safeguarding and consolidat-ing national ideological security.Embarking on a new cultural journey,we must use Xi Jinping's cultural thought as our sci-entific guide and stand firmly against various erroneous ideologies,including cultural nihilism.
