"Culture rejuvenates the country and prospers, and cultural power is strong." The efficiency of cultural governance is directly related to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out: We have established and adhered to the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the ideological field. In the new era, the Party’s innovative theory has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, socialist core values have been widely spread, Chinese excellent traditional culture has been creatively transformed and innovatively developed, cultural undertakings have become increasingly prosperous, the network ecology has continued to improve, and the situation in the ideological field has undergone an overall and fundamental change. This is an incisive summary of China’s cultural construction and governance achievements in the past ten years in the new era. Achievement marks the direction, and achievement enlightens the future. In the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, the international and domestic situation is complex and changeable. In the cultural field, it is necessary to effectively prevent the old problems from being changed and revived, and to scientifically deal with the new problems that come with the development of the times. If the situation is pressing, it will retreat. History and practice have repeatedly warned us: correct orientation, vision must be achieved; Wrong direction, endless harm. The new journey, new mission and new requirements, comprehensively improving the efficiency of cultural governance and building a cultural power must follow the following four correct orientations.
First, adhere to political orientation and lead the bright road
Politics guides the direction and the road determines success or failure. In the new journey, to strengthen cultural governance and build a strong cultural country, we must take a clear-cut stand and stress politics. On the one hand, we must always adhere to the party’s centralized and unified leadership over cultural work, adhere to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, enhance cultural self-confidence, build a socialist cultural power around raising flags, gathering people’s hearts, cultivating new people, promoting culture and displaying image, develop a national and scientific socialist culture facing modernization, the world and the future, stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation, and enhance the spiritual strength to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; On the other hand, we must strengthen political acumen, enhance political judgment, political understanding and political execution, carry forward the spirit of struggle, improve the ability of struggle, resolutely fight against all kinds of beautifully packaged wrong ideological trends, defend justice, and promote righteousness.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic achievements and changes have taken place in China’s cultural field, which lies in the fact that the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core is at the helm and the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era guides the course. Because of this, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee explicitly wrote "Two Establishments" into the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Hundred Years’ Struggle. "Two Establishments" is the most significant political achievement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and the most fundamental guarantee for the party and the country to achieve greater achievements in various undertakings in the new journey. To strengthen cultural governance and build a strong cultural country, we must resolutely defend the "two establishments", fully implement them in all fields and the whole process of cultural construction, and effectively transform them into political consciousness, ideological consciousness and action consciousness of strengthening the "four consciousnesses", strengthening the "four self-confidences" and achieving "two safeguards" on the cultural front, and lead cultural construction along the right path and direction with strong political identity and self-confidence.
Second, adhere to the problem orientation and pay attention to actual results
The problem is universal. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: We in the Communist Party of China (CPC) have always engaged in revolution, construction and reform in order to solve the practical problems in China. In a certain sense, the process of improving the efficiency of cultural governance and building a strong cultural country is the process of constantly discovering and solving problems.
It is a fine tradition of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to dare to admit problems and be good at discovering them. During the period of the new-democratic revolution, there would be no "correct development of revolutionary literature and art" without Comrade Mao Zedong’s in-depth investigation and study and hosting a symposium on literary and art work in Yan ‘an. In the new era of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, there would be no "literature and art entering a new era" without the Supreme Leader General Secretary going to the cultural front to find problems and hosting a symposium on literary and art work in the new era. In the new journey, to strengthen cultural governance and build a cultural power, we must adhere to the "eyes down", be good at using the sharp weapon of investigation and research, go deep into reality, go deep into the grassroots and the masses, actively check out various problems existing in the cultural field, list the problems, prioritize them, and lay the foundation for thoroughly solving the problems.
Finding problems lies in solving them. In the new journey, to strengthen cultural governance, we must take solving practical problems as the fundamental focus, go ahead with problems, face problems, and work against problems, and strive to achieve cultural governance effectiveness that satisfies the party and the people in constantly solving practical problems. On the one hand, we should hold the bull by the nose, accurately grasp the key areas and key objects, focus on solving the "urgent difficulties and worries" problems related to the realization of the people’s spiritual and cultural needs, focus on solving the problems of cultural vulgarity, kitsch and vulgarity strongly reflected by the people, focus on solving the problems of violation of law and discipline, dishonesty and low taste in individual fields and groups, focus on solving the institutional problems that restrict the improvement of cultural governance efficiency, and promote the improvement of overall governance efficiency with key breakthroughs. On the other hand, it is necessary to take the overall situation into consideration, strengthen strategic thinking, systematic thinking, rule of law thinking and innovative thinking, scientifically coordinate the main elements such as government, society, market and public, and various means such as economy, rule of law, morality and science and technology, and make multiple synergies and comprehensive policies to achieve governance according to law, source governance, system governance and ecological governance.
Third, adhere to the goal orientation and focus on the realization of the blueprint
Clear goals, get twice the result with half the effort; The goal is not clear, haste makes waste. In the new journey, to improve the efficiency of cultural governance, we must adhere to the goal orientation and guide the way forward with the beautiful blueprint jointly drawn by the party and the people in the new era.
The Chinese dream of basically realizing modernization in 2035, building a socialist modernization power in the middle of this century and then realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the top-level design for the development of the cause of the party and the country and the most fundamental goal of the party and the people in the new era. In the new journey, strengthening cultural governance, from a macro perspective, is to carry out all kinds of work closely around this big goal, deepen the structural reform of cultural supply side, strengthen the management of cultural demand side, develop advanced socialist culture, carry forward revolutionary culture and inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture. Everything that is conducive to the realization of the goal of rejuvenating the country must be adhered to and strengthened; Anything that hinders the realization of the goal of rejuvenating the country must be resolutely reformed and improved, so as to fully release the strong cohesion, leading power and creativity of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture and help achieve the big goal smoothly.
The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress clearly stated that it would be a "cultural power" by 2035. In the new journey, to strengthen cultural governance, specifically, we should focus on the latest strategic arrangement of the Party’s 20th National Congress of "Promoting Cultural Self-confidence and Self-improvement, Creating New Brilliance of Socialist Culture", raise the banner, gather people’s hearts, cultivate new people, promote culture and display image, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power, widely practice socialist core values, improve the civilization level of the whole society, prosper and develop cultural undertakings and industries, and enhance the influence of Chinese civilization communication.
Fourth, adhere to the orientation of the times and grasp the historical initiative.
An era has the theme and task of an era. Adhering to the orientation of the times, enhancing historical consciousness, grasping historical initiative, and promoting cultural governance to advance with the times and be new with the times are the only way for the cultural front of the new journey to hand over qualified answers.
Adhering to the orientation of the times means keeping pace with the times, keeping in mind the theme of the times, namely, building a socialist modernization power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, actively adapting to the new missions, tasks and requirements in the new development stage, actively responding to the new problems, contradictions and challenges brought about by the development of the times, actively embracing the new carriers, formats and models that came into being with the development of the times, and making great efforts to promote cultural governance and respond to the concerns of the times.
To adhere to the orientation of the times, we must also carry forward the great historical initiative, follow the logic of cultural development and the law of construction, and plan the layout in advance. We should follow the trend of human civilization and the development trend of advanced socialist culture with a broader vision and a longer-term vision, enhance the predictability and creativity of governance, put forward new ideas, construct new theories and implement new strategies, and ensure that Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture will always stand at the forefront of the times and lead the trend of the times.
