Culture a catalyst to national rejuvenation

Culture sometimes helps distinguish civilizations from less complex societies. Many sociologists and anthropologists identify culture with civilization. And all of them agree that cultures, both elite and folk, have played a key role in the progress of human civilization.

In China, culture is the source of self-confidence for every citizen, and to strengthen people's confidence in our culture and shape the nation's future, we need to dig deep into our traditional culture.

Our culture has inspired us to pursue the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, in order to build a strong and prosperous society. To be sure, China has already made great progress toward achieving this goal thanks to its fast-paced modernization. And although China has no intention of becoming the "celestial empire" of the past, traditional culture continues to play a significant role in contemporary society.
