The Model Culture And Its Contemporary Construction

Model is the soul of a nation.To respect and admire models is the fine tradition of Chinese nation;also,to select,set up and follow models are the Communist Party of China's fine style of work.In recent years,cases of ridiculing,defaming,and shaming models are frequently reported online.Aiming at distorting the values and weakening public's spirituality and beliefs,a small number of persons with ulterior motives alter truth,disgrace models,and misinterpret nobility.This action leads China's construction of model culture to face grim challenges and changing the situation becomes an new task of our time.Review of problems during model culture construction,analysis of the history of model culture development,and establishment of scientific and integral theory of model culture will certainly bring out crucial theoretic value and realistic meanings.Model culture,which was embodied jointly by material culture,spiritual culture and system culture,comes into being with the practice of model cultivation,promotion and application.Model culture has a long history.In different historical periods,it has the specific functions of inspiring,educating,and steering people's thinking and behaviors.Since the foundation of The People's Republic of China,model culture has become an important part of the development of socialist culture,embodiment of socialist core values and citizen morality,main task of socialist spiritual civilization.Therefore,model culture plays an crucial role in running of the country,management and control of the society,and individual morality.The nature of model culture's value determines its other four nature:nature of class,advancement,truth and multidimensionality.Model culture has a long history and sound theoretical basis.It is the fruit of history progress,which comes into being and evolve closely with the development of human beings' self-conscientiousness and socialization.Also,the survival against the nature,interaction between human beings,and self-transcendence within individuals have profound effects on its conformation.From ancient times,modern times and till contemporary era,Chinese model culture becomes an distinct culture form with Chinese characteristics and Chinese style.This form enjoys similarities and differences with Western model culture.The development of contemporary Chinese model culture should be based on Chinese conditions,guided by the theory that is relevant to model culture in Marxist classics and Marxism Chinese-Characterization classics.Also,in the process of contemporary Chinese model culture development,model culture in Chinese traditional culture must be inherited and sublated selectively,and Western culture must be borrowed selectively as well.The reflection of current model culture reveals the necessity of research on model culture.Due to the difficulty in understanding,recognition and put model culture into practice,to educate the public through drawing attention to the chosen models works not well and its effects are limited.The reform of model culture is needed urgently,otherwise the current situation will hinder the development of the nation,society and individuals.Both inside and outside effects brought about the dilemma that the development of model culture is facing:inside,the implementer of model culture being not identified,the way of thinking and working being limited,the system being lacked;outside,western ideology pervading and negative effects of modern culture prevailing.To get out of this dilemma,during the development of model culture,attention should be paid to the following three aspects which are also parts of this culture form:material culture,spiritual culture and system culture.To enhance the development of model culture by optimizing its environment.The environment,as an important back-up for the development of model culture,needs to be optimized in the fields of material environment,spiritual environment and network environment.As for material environment,efforts should be paid to the protection of historic relics,the increase of new concrete materials,and the promotion of creative cultural industry and products.As for spiritual environment,the practice of admiring,defending,following and caring models should be internalized as part of the public's feelings,awareness,belief and the way of thinking.Besides,the public will compete for better performance with the encouragement of model culture.As for green network environment,the control of the power of speech online should remain claimed and meanwhile network should go through strict censor and resources reorganization.To advance the development of model culture with educational progress.Model education is the core link to the development of model culture.With the guidance of"people oriented" and "the truth the good and the beautiful",the educational goal of cultivating all-round developed people should be fulfilled through the model culture educational system,which means through family education,school education and social education.This practice will enhance the model culture's nature of being scientific and theoretic.To be more effective,deeper research on the issues of model culture,richer resources and improved and creative way of implement are required.Meanwhile,the concept,content and the way of thinking should run through the model culture.To promote the development of model culture with the improvement of system.A sound system of selecting,promoting and caring models is the great support for model culture development.Scientific and rational system of selecting and setting up models requires a sound model selecting system.This selecting system is designed to select,evaluate and set up representatives that can be good examples of being active,all-round developed and advanced with comprehensive and advanced procedures.The promoting system is also required.This promoting system which consists of reorganization of model information,praise of model deeds and promotion plan of model culture should be run with the guideline of being realistic,extensive and keeping pace with times.As for the model caring system which includes award,care,protection and management of models should be conducted with the methods of combing future tendency with current interests and spiritual praise with material awards.
