An Analysis of the Integration Process of Tradition and Modernity in the Modernization Process of Chinese Civilization
In the contact between Chinese civilization and Western civilization,the integration of modernity and tradition has always been the goal pursued by reformists and revolutionaries.The CPC,with the combination of the excellent traditional Chinese culture and Marxism,has restored the self-confidence of Chinese civilization equivalent to that of the Western countries,and has constantly pro-moted the integration of Chinese civilization and modernization in the process of our national construction.Through a historical analysis of the modern civilization process of the Chinese nation,we can see,on one hand,the interaction between China and the rest of the world during the period of modern transformation as well as the efforts made by various groups to seek the co-existence of Eastern and Western civilizations;on the one hand,it can be seen that from the Opium War to the May Fourth Movement,because Chinese intel-lectuals lacked a comprehensive understanding of modernization,the modern transformation went through twists and turns.Thus,a thorough understanding of the second combination of Marxist basic principles with excellent traditional Chinese culture has provided more methodological approaches and directions as well as a wider worldview for the construction of modern Chinese civilization since early modern times,providing an opportunity of choice for complex ideologies in terms of intellectual cognition and that between tradi-tion and modernity respectively.
