Value nihilism manifests as a reflection and expression of nihilism in the realm of values.Contemporary manifesta-tions of value nihilism include nihilism of ultimate value,negation of human value,and the materialization of value orientations.In the context of a market economy,the influence of capitalist logic,the negative impact of diverse social ideologies,and the expansion of modernity contribute to the prevalence of value nihilism in contemporary China.To counteract value nihilism,it is imperative to establish a socialist core value system that reflects the spiritual outlook and value pursuits of the Chinese people at the national con-sciousness and strategic levels.Drawing upon the holistic,subjective,and practical perspectives of historical materialism,it is cruci-al to leverage China's rich traditional culture to cultivate a spiritual culture that solidifies the value foundation of the contemporary spiritual world.This can be achieved by fostering cultural self-confidence,stimulating the spiritual strength of individuals,enriching the value significance of contemporary life activities,standardizing the value order through institutional reforms,and guiding individ-uals towards lofty value pursuits.Such an approach offers a logical framework to address contemporary value nihilism.
