Strategic culture is a concept on the thought idea level,which reveals the overall influence of the values,cultural traditions,civilization features,historical experience and social system of a nation and a country on the choice of strategic behavior.Therefore,strategic culture is evidently characterized as ethnicity and long-term stability.In most cases,countries will have different strategic cultures due to their different historical and cultural traditions,cultural backgrounds and other factors,which is also an important reason why different countries will have different strategic judgments in the face of the same strategic environment,so as to formulate different strategic plans.In the thousands of years of Chinese history,many sages have thought about the relationship between strategy and ideology and culture,and have preserved it in the form of documents,books,practical experience and historical legends.Through the research,it can be found that these reflections show that people in the background of Chinese culture have the thinking mode based on the relatively stable value orientation and the strategic behavior preference determined by it in the choice of strategic behavior.This means that the strategic culture with Chinese cultural background has been formed and played its role.As one of the essences of Chinese culture,harmonious culture has been throughout all stages of the development of Chinese strategic culture and has formed a paradigm of harmonious strategic culture in the process of strategic practice.The paradigm of harmonious strategic culture is in the core and even dominant position in China’s strategic culture.The so-called "harmonious strategic culture" refers to the strategic culture with the concept of harmony as the core compared with other strategic cultures,that is,the strategic culture with the value orientation of coexistence of harmony,the thinking mode of harmony but difference and the strategic preference of harmony.What needs to be clear is that the paradigm of harmonious strategic culture does not blindly emphasize "peace" and ignore the construction of military strength.In essence,it is under the guidance of the pursuit of the value concept of "peace ",which organically combines the thinking mode of peaceful cooperation with that of military struggle,and makes corresponding strategic decisions according to the changes of the environment.The harmonious strategic culture of contemporary China is evolving in the interaction between the free culture and the conscious culture.As the concrete manifestation of free culture and conscious culture,its ideological origin constitutes the evolutionary basis of contemporary China’s harmonious strategic culture,and provides the historical and cultural context in which the strategic subject carries out cognition and practical creation activities in this cultural background.The traditional Chinese strategic culture has the characteristics of peace and introversion,which takes the pursuit of peaceful reunification and opposing aggression and separatism as the primary strategic goal,and takes strategic defense as its first choice of strategic behavior,and seldom initiates external attacks,with the harmonious deposit of the political view of globalism,the view of interest of universal responsibility and the view of security of harmony among all nations.This strategic thinking mode is rooted in China ’ s long philosophical tradition,historical experience and so on,still affects China ’ s strategic behavior choice.As a kind of external conscious cultural spirit,Marxism is integrated with the critical and reformed cultural elements of the Chinese nation,which has profoundly affected the development process of Chinese society.The guiding position of Marxism in the politics of China,a socialist country with the Communist Party of China as the ruling party,is unshakable.Marxist peace thought also plays an important role in the ideological origin of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture.In the process of the liberation of the nation by the Communist Party of China,the thoughts of the united front,ending the war with war,and founding a state peacefully play an important role,and the concordant significance contained in these thoughts also constitutes one of the ideological sources of contemporary Chinese concordant strategy culture.The analysis of the ideological origin of contemporary Chinese concordant strategic culture proves that the concordant strategic culture runs through the historical evolution of Chinese strategic culture.On this basis,through the analysis of the theoretical development of contemporary China’s concordant strategic culture in different periods,it can be proved that the harmonious strategic culture has a substantial influence on the actual strategic behavior choice of contemporary China,and is in the core position of contemporary China’s strategic culture.Harmonious strategic culture has a consistent importance and stability in the process of contemporary Chinese strategic culture evolution.Since the founding of the People ’s Republic of China,China has adhered to the concept of peace-oriented harmony in the period of socialist revolution and construction,peaceful development in the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization,and maintaining world peace and promoting common development in the new era.Harmonious strategic culture does have influence on the choice of strategic behavior in our country,and is suitable for the national conditions and the long-term development plan of the country,which is in the core position in the contemporary Chinese strategic culture.The main content of the theoretical connotation of contemporary China’s harmonious strategic culture is based on the strategy of contemporary China’s harmonious strategic culture.Since modern times,the study of strategic theory has undergone a series of important changes,among which,the value transformation from war victory to peace lasting,the structure transformation from military strategy to development strategy,and the mode transformation from zero-sum game to non-zero-sum game constitute the strategic foundation of the study of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture.On this basis,the concrete connotation of the core concept of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture,namely,the value orientation of harmonious coexistence,the thinking mode of harmony but difference and the strategic preference of valuing harmony as the most precious is analyzed in this paper.Through clarifying the main body structure of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture,the fact that the main body structure of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture shows a great difference from the western mainstream strategic culture is explained.The above argumentation has realized the transcendence of the era limitation of the western mainstream strategic culture,and has the theoretical purport of seeking happiness for the Chinese people,seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation and seeking peace and development for mankind.The significance of theory lies in the guidance of concrete practice and the leading of realistic activities.The cosmopolitan character of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture makes it transcend the boundaries of nation,culture,state and ideology,and enables it to provide a new perspective for mankind to build a more peaceful and developing world in the future.The reason why the contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture can have such a good practical effect is that it has a solid practical foundation in terms of historical premise,era condition and realistic strength.However,due to the competition for national interests,the differences in national cultures and the barriers between different beliefs and ideologies,there are still contradictions,confrontations,conflicts and even wars in many parts of the world today.There are many difficulties in the practice of harmonious strategic culture in contemporary China,among which strategic mutual trust,benefit sharing and mechanism building are the main difficulties.To overcome the practical difficulties of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture and promote the practice of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture can’t do without the guidance of scientific methodology.The practice methodology of contemporary Chinese harmonious strategic culture is to adhere to the principles of unity of seeking common ground while reserving differences,unity of current interests and long-term interests,and unity of nation-state and human being as a whole.The study of contemporary China’s harmonious strategic culture can not only expand the content range of strategic culture,providing a new perspective for understanding contemporary China’s strategic culture,but also offer some enlightenment for the future to better deal with the international strategic environment changes and provide Chinese wisdom for world development. |
