Research On The Thought Content And The New Era Meaning Of Xi Jinping's 'Cultural Gene' Theory

Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era takes the realization of socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as the overall task,and takes the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development as the major social contradiction.In this new era,under the condition that material wealth continues to increase enormously,the important status of spiritual civilization and ecological civilization is increasingly prominent.This is an important theoretical basis for Xi Jinping's cultural self-confidence construction and cultural development strategy.Since the 18 th national congress of the communist party of China,cultural self-confidence,as one of the "four self-confidence",has been proposed as a more fundamental,deeper and more lasting force,as the soul of the nation is emphasized,and its important status has been further revealed.Of course,in terms of external conditions,Xi Jinping's cultural confidence construction and cultural development strategy are also closely related to his deep design for inspiring new development drivers,breaking cultural hegemonism and strengthening the development direction of marxism.As Xi Jinping has repeatedly explained,cultural confidence is one of the fundamental conditions for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,and it is undoubtedly of great significance.Xi Jinping's "meme" theory provides a fundamental guide for the construction of cultural self-confidence.To build cultural self-confidence,we must know what to build.First and foremost,we must know what the foundation of culture is,that's where Xi Jinping borrowed the idea of“meme”.He has profound traditional culture,and he has repeatedly made unique analysis on the specific content of "meme" of Chinese traditional culture,and even proposed the issue of "gene sequencing" of traditional culture.But,in his view,the connotation of the concept of "cultural genes" pointed to a fusion of "cultural genes".By extension,it contains of marxism and Mao Zedong' thought,the firm belief in the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the socialist core values system,contains a profound understanding of Chinese revolution culture,red culture and socialism culture,contains the deep affection and deep understanding of Chinese excellent traditional culture,also contains a clear awareness for western excellent cultural.The integrated "meme" can be summarized as the unity of "red gene","Chinese excellent traditional meme" and "foreign excellent meme".It is this fusion meme that fully embodies the adaptability to modernization,the integration of western culture and the dissemination of the world.Xi Jinping's theory of "meme" contains rich ideological content and has profound theoretical and practical significance.In terms of concept,the concept of integrated "cultural genes" reflects the popularity of culture,the insistence on the dialectical unity of the material strength and spiritual strength,in terms of law conceptual construction,the fusion of "cultural genes" pointed out the direction of new culture development for China and the whole world,and it also provides a strong support for the community of human destiny and the "one belt and one road" construction.As far as the development of Chinese traditional culture is concerned,the integrated "meme" is the foundation and driving force for China to develop cultural self-confidence and achieve cultural rejuvenation,and it's the direction and foundation for China to promote cultural innovation and maintain cultural vitality.
