Accurately Gauging the Relationship between Chinese Culture and the Cultures of Various Ethnic Groups
Handling the relationship between Chinese culture and the cultures of various ethnic groups is an important element in consolidating the ideological foundation of the sense of communi-ty of the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a modern civilization for the Chinese na-tion.The cultures of various ethnic groups have different connotations and attributes from the Chi-nese culture in terms of formation mechanism,scope of affiliation,and hierarchical categories,but they are always connected with the Chinese culture,which provides a possibility for the integration of the cultures of various ethnic groups into the Chinese culture.Through the connection of geo-graphical units, the embedding of political culture,and the sharing and heritage of ethnic cultures, ethnic cultures have opened up the horizons of Chinese culture,anchored the development direction of Chinese culture,shaped the new form of Chinese culture,and taken on the epochal nature of Chi-nese culture.Along this line of thought,actively guiding the creative transformation of the outstand-ing cultures of all ethnic groups,vigorously telling the stories of the Chinese nation,and promoting the modernization of ethnic cultures will enhance the backbone and leadership of Chinese culture, and provide a realistic path to build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation that transcends the differences between ethnic groups and regions,and where people's hearts and minds converge and spiritually depend on each other.
