“两个文明”协调发展的思想探赜

An Exploration of the Thoughts on the Coordinated Development of“Two Civilizations”

物质文明与精神文明协调发展是中国式现代化的中国特色之一。回溯历史,中国共产党以先秦“物质元素与精神元素”的激烈辩驳、近代以来“物质优先与精神优先”的救国探索和马克思主义关于“物质世界与精神世界”的科学理论为思想材料,在领导革命、建设和改革的伟大实践中始终坚持协同推进社会经济建设和文化建设,逐步探索生发出“两个文明”协调发展的治国方略。无论客观条件发生何种变化,“高水平”“螺旋式”“赋能型”始终作为“两个文明”协调发展的核心要义贯穿其中。立足现实,当前推进“两个文明”建设仍然面临不平衡不充分的发展特征,面对数字化转型的革新任务,亟待形成新的理论总结等诸多时代挑战。展望未来,面向以中国式现代化推进中华民族伟大复兴的新征程,应当从坚持党的全面领导、发展数字文化产业、深化人文经济研究等多方面入手,不断开创“两个文明”协调发展的新篇章。

Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made it clear that the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization(“two civilizations”)is one of the characteristics of the Chinese path to modernization.Looking back at history,traditional Chinese culture had not formed a stable and consistent conclusion on the relationship between“material”and“spiritual”for a long time,and even regarded the two as opposing value subjects.To the extent that in modern times,the exploration of the path of saving the nation by people with lofty ideals had also shown obvious cracks.Until Marxism entered the Chinese society,the long-standing issue of the relationship between“material”and“spirit”that had been difficult to explain was easily resolved,and“material”and“spirit”in traditional Chinese culture were moving towards unity.The Party adheres to the guidance of Marxism,and in the great practice of leading China's revolution,construction,and reform,it has always coordinated to promote economic and cultural construction,and gradually developed a strategy of governing the country with the coordinated development of“two civilizations”.No matter what the objective conditions change,the coordinated development of“two civilizations”has always pursued the material and spiritual richness of the entire social life to the“highest level”under the current social and historical conditions,and unremittingly promoted the comprehensive enrichment of things and the comprehensive development of people to a“higher level”.Thus,“two civilizations”show a trend of alternating guidance and spiral rise in a dynamic and balanced fluctuation range,and together with the Chinese path to modernization,they form a new pattern of harmonious coexistence of“one body,two wings”.Based on the reality,the current promotion of“two civilizations”still faces many challenges of the times.Looking forward to the future,facing the great rejuvenation of the nation with the Chinese path to modernization,we should adhere to the comprehensive leadership of the Party and the“two-point theory”and“key-point theory”of overall development;we should develop the digital cultural industry to promote common prosperity in both material and spiritual life;and we should deepen research on humanistic economy,continuously creating a new chapter in the coordinated development of“two civilizations”.
