Mengman, University of China for Nationalities: Cultural confidence builds the soul of China

Mengman said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the core of national cultural construction has been reflected in two aspects: one is the proposal of "cultural self-confidence", and the other is the great project of party building.

Original title: Representative of Mengman of the Central University for Nationalities: Cultural confidence builds the soul of China.

From the "Chinese Character Dictation Conference" to the "Chinese Poetry Conference", representative Mengman, a teacher of the School of History and Culture of the Central University for Nationalities, can always use precise language and vivid narration, telling Chinese culture and classical poetry to the audience. It was during her explanation that more and more people became fans of China's traditional culture from listeners.

As a representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mengman still regarded culture as the main content of his discussion during the conference. She said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the core of national cultural construction has been reflected in two aspects: one is the proposal of "cultural self-confidence", and the other is the great project of party building. Cultural self-confidence is the work of forging the soul of China, and great projects are the work of forging the soul of the party.

Mengman said that at present, we can draw a lot of things from China's excellent traditional culture, such as aesthetic taste, traditional wisdom, etc., but she personally believes that the most important content to be drawn from it is morality. China culture is a culture that prioritizes morality. Confucianism is the study of sages."Benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness" is personal morality."Fathers are kind, sons are filial, brothers and brothers are respectful" is family morality."If you want to establish yourself, you will achieve others.""Don't do to others what you don't want you to" are social morality. "These cultures have important reference value for personal cultivation, social harmony, and even for our country to establish a new type of diplomatic relations, move from a big country to a strong country, and strengthen cultural self-confidence."

Mengman said that inheriting traditional culture should not be extreme, and some vulgar content should be abandoned. She recounted an incident reported by the media. A woman who considered herself a fan of traditional culture actually wrapped her feet into a 10-centimeter "three-inch golden lotus". Mengman said that there are still people who are obsessed with wrapping feet today, which cannot be said to be an inheritance of excellent traditional culture, but only a mental illness.

Mengman believes that the past five years can be said to be the five years in which China has made the most achievements in cultural development. If China has been "growing its body" and its economy has grown in size before, then the past five years have been truly "growing its spirit." The proposal of cultural self-confidence is itself a matter of "long-term spirit". We no longer just use economic indicators to measure everything, but hope that society will develop comprehensively and that culture can play a leading role.
