The Prominent Manifestation,Intrinsic Mechanism,and Significance Value of the Continuity of Chinese Civilization
The difference between Chinese civilization and"ancient but not present"and"new but not ancient"civilizations lies in the fact that it is a type of civilization that is"timeless"and"both new and old".The continuity of Chinese civilization is reflected not only in the continuity of race and ethnicity,national territory,language and writing,but also in the continuity of values of orthodox-y,the continuity of governance or unification,and the continuity of academic tradition or ideological and cultural traditions.The promi-nent continuity of Chinese civilization is closely related to the spiritual temperament,value pursuit,and the excellent traditional Chi-nese culture,virtues,and philosophical qualities created by the Chinese nation."Old country and new destiny"is the unique national matrix and value trait of Chinese civilization.The combination of new origins and old origins holds an extremely important position in the Chinese civilization system,and it is precisely because of this that the Chinese civilization has developed a spirit of civilization that con-tinues to be sacred and opens up learning,endowing traditional culture with a mechanism of development from ancient to modern times.The continuity of Chinese civilization has profound and far-reaching significance and value.It is not only the source of strength for us to strengthen cultural confidence and walk the path of China well,but also the value support for building modern Chinese civilization.It is also the spiritual driving force for building a new form of human civilization,enriching and developing the paradigm,types,and lineage of world civilization.
