习近平文化思想:马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化相结合的理论指向

Xi Jinpin Thought on Culture:The theoretical orientation of combining Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese Culture

党的二十大报告再次提出了把马克思主义基本原理与中华优秀传统文化相结合,此后党和国家领导人在不同的场合多次强调这一思想。如何认识和理解这一结合?它具有怎样的理论指向?有研究者从文化思想的宏观视角,表达了深刻的理论洞见,却忽视了这一主张提出时的具体时空情境,以致偏离了二者结合的本质及特征。事实上,从性质上来说,马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化相结合是新时代中国的一项文化政策,其出发点是实现马克思主义中国化时代化,其理论指向在新时代体现为习近平文化思想,这是中国共产党在新时代背景下回应时代理论需求的结果。在与西方理论竞争中,中国文化相关理论的竞争力还不够强,也不能满足中国特色社会主义现代化建设的发展需要。因此,中国文化理论的供需矛盾形成了当前中国社会文化发展的困境。这一困境引起了以习近平同志为核心的党中央的高度重视,激发了中国共产党发展中国文化理论的思想动力。中国共产党通过制定文化发展政策,绘制中国文化发展蓝图,以马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化相结合作为理论创新方法,扎根中国历史经验和社会主义实践经验,形成马克思主义中国化时代化的文化理论最新成果——习近平文化思想。习近平文化思想是一个与时俱进的开放系统理论,是包含了文化问题域、文化主体论、方法论、知识论、功能论等系统化的新时代文化理论。它不仅为中华民族现代文明提供了发展路线图,为中国孕育了新文化生命体,也为中华民族的精神独立、增强中华民族凝聚力奠定了文化理论基础。因此马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化相结合,是习近平文化思想的重要方法内容,是理解习近平文化思想守正创新的关键线索。

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the combination of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture,and since then,Party and state leaders have repeatedly mentioned this proposition on different occasions.How to recognize and understand this combination?What is its theoretical orientation?Some researchers have expressed profound theoretical insights from macro perspective of cultural thought,but they have overlooked the specific space-time scenarios in which this proposition was proposed,resulting in a deviation from the essence and characteristics of the combination of the two thoughts.In fact,combining Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture is a cultural policy of China in the new era,and its theory aim is sinicization and modernization of Marxism,and its theoretical orientation is Xi Jinping Thought on Culture.This is the result of the CPC’s response to the theoretical needs of the times in the new era.In competition with Western theories,the competitiveness of Chinese cultural theory is not strong enough to meet the development needs of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics.Therefore,the contradiction between supply and demand in Chinese cultural theory is a dilemma in the current development of Chinese social culture.This dilemma is attached great importance to by Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core,and it has stimulated the ideological power that the Communist Party of China planned to develop Chinese cultural theory.So the Communist Party of China made cultural policy and plans,through the theoretical method of combining Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture,summarized experience of Chinese history and practise,and then Xi Jinping Thought on Culture has come out.Xi Jinping Thought on Culture is an open theoretical system that is advance with the times,including the cultural problem domain,subjectivity,methodology,epistemology,functionalism and other systematic cultural theories of the new era.It not only provides a development roadmap for the modern civilization of the Chinese nation,nurtures new cultural life forms for China,but also lays a cultural theoretical foundation for the spiritual independence of the Chinese nation and the enhancement of its cohesion.So the combination of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture is a theoretical method of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture,and it is a key clue of understanding Xi Jinping Thought on Culture of Marxism position and theoretical innovation.
