We are in the transformation period of reform and opening up and economic development. Faced with various cultural phenomena in various countries around the world and dazzling modern media, we must maintain cultural confidence, use the past for the present, use foreign materials for China, introduce the new, treat it with discrimination, inherit it with abandonment, inherit and sublimate China's excellent traditional culture, develop socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and enhance the country's cultural soft power. The vast river of history, the blazing fire of civilization, the Chinese culture has a long history, and the rolling Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River are the most direct sources.

It is also the oldest ancient culture in the world that has never been interrupted and is always full of vitality and vitality. Chinese culture was once the cradle of Eastern culture and one of the driving forces that pushed world civilization forward. As early as 500 years ago, the four great inventions of Chinese culture gave birth to the European Renaissance and the Great Geographic Discovery. China's four great inventions were successively introduced to the West and played an important role in promoting the development and formation of Western industrial society.
