勇担“新的文化使命”的历史底蕴与价值内涵

The Historical Underpinnings and Value Connotation of Bravely Shouldering the“New Cultural Mission”

勇担新时代“新的文化使命”蕴含着“在新的起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明”的根本任务。百余年来,中国共产党极具历史主动精神,承担起加快传统文化的更新、转型和发展,应对西方文化的冲击、渗透与解构,引导社会主义文化的体系建构和精神培育的历史重任。这一重要使命的产生是历史形成的结果。在这个过程中,中国共产党引领了近代以来的“新文化”并使之最终走向马克思主义和社会主义,也铸就了新时代的新文化并承担起“新的文化使命”。勇担“新的文化使命”的重大价值在于突出了文化在中华民族伟大复兴历史进程中的极端重要性;凸显了文化的意识形态变革所产生的巨大能动性,展现了无产阶级政党积极的历史主动性和彻底的唯物主义;继承了为无产阶级的“绝大多数人的统治”服务的思想文化,推动了马克思列宁主义在新的历史条件基础上的继续发展;建构了引领后发国家独立自主和平发展的精神谱系和思想“大厦”,为中华民族现代文明自主知识体系的建构提供了文化给养和强化了精神脊梁。

Taking up the“new cultural mission”in the new era implies the fundamental task of“continuing to promote cultural prosperity,build a strong cultural country,and build a modern civilization for the Chinese nation from a new starting point”.For more than a hundred years,the Communist Party of China(CPC),with a spirit of historical initiative,has assumed the historical responsibility of accelerating the renewal,transforming and developing of traditional culture,coping with the impact,penetrating and deconstructing of Western culture,and guiding the systematic construction and spiritual cultivation of socialist culture.The emergence of this important mission is the result of the historical process,in which the CPC has played a leading role in“new culture”since the modern times and eventually guided it to Marxism and socialism,and also forged the new culture in the new era and assumed the“new cultural mission”.The significance of taking up the“new cultural mission”is that it highlights the extreme importance of culture in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation;it emphasizes the great dynamism generated by the ideological change of culture,and demonstrates the proletarian political party's positive historical initiative and thoroughgoing materialism;it has inherited the ideology and culture that serves the proletariat's“rule of the vast majority”and promoted the continued development of MarxismLeninism on the basis of new historical conditions;it has constructed a spiritual genealogy and ideological“edifice”to lead the independent and peaceful development of late-developed countries,and provided cultural sustenance and strengthened the spiritual backbone for the construction of the autonomous knowledge system of the Chinese nation's modern civilization.
