“the construction of a strong cultural power is a matter of the chinese modernity, the revival of the chinese nation and the promotion of international competitiveness.” the secretary-general of xi has pointed out in depth。
Since its eighteenth anniversary, the party's centre, with comrade xi at its core, has insisted on putting culture in the forefront of governance, making a series of major deployments to shape the concept of xi jinping culture and promoting the historic achievements of cultural construction in the clean-up of its roots and in keeping with its innovations, and making solid strides towards building a socialist cultural power。
As of the end of 2025, there were 3,253 public libraries and 3,517 cultural houses; 7188 national museums, with a free opening rate of over 91 per cent; and 15,235. 5 billion yuan, an increase of 7. 4 per cent over the previous year, for businesses in culture and related industries over the country's size. Guided by the idea of xi jinping culture, the strong cultural powers have built up their energy, laid down their words in a process of modernization in harmony between material and spiritual civilizations, built firm cultural foundations for national renewal and contributed eastern wisdom to the progress of human civilization。
To create a soul in writing, to rally
“the new journey will be guided by the socialist philosophy of china's new era, by upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the party, deepening the development of the chemical science of the party's innovative theoretical system, accelerating the construction of an autonomous knowledge system of chinese philosophy and social sciences, and providing better answers to the questions of china, the questions of the world, the questions of the people and the questions of the times.” the general secretary of xi has recently given important instructions on the promotion of quality development in philosophical social sciences。
Building on the momentum of the times and assuming a new cultural mission, scientific thinking has guided the building of culture in a steady way。
In october 2023, the national conference for the promotion of the culture of ideology was held in kyoto, where for the first time the idea of xi jinping culture was presented. As a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the leadership of the new age party in the construction of culture, xi jinping cultural ideology led the ancient nations of eastern civilization along the path of developing chinese-style socialist culture。
Ideas brighten the course of practice and the era of grass-roots pulsation resonates。
A microphone, a theoretical lecturer, spoke on the theme “z generational party innovations” in zhejiang, where young speakers spoke freely and in a warm atmosphere。
Open mai is a new exploration of the zhejiang theory in recent years at the provincial level, which promotes the party's innovative theory “to fly into ordinary people's homes” through a popular talk show for young people。
Deepening the theory and building on faith。
The theoretical and practical innovations of the party are vivid, and our learning should also be vivid。
The city of fujian fukuo, with its three blocks and seven alleys as its vehicle, has made the historical and cultural heritage a living resource for the innovative theory of the communicators' party; has opened a “big bowl of tea” cultural forum in the yang mau district of xianyang city to raise public awareness in the absence of any sound of the lubricant; and has held a “flaming pond” conference in yunnan, the village of monkey bridge in the city, to promote the integration of local folklore through a wealth of diverse cultural resources。
The more the doctrine is armed, the stronger the faith. When the “foot party” “concert” class goes “new” and “heart”, when the theoretical learning guide reads “100 books preferred by farmers”, the party's sound becomes the strongest in society and echoes in china。
To boost morale and push forward。
The celebration of the anniversary of the resistance, held on 3 september 2025, which was solemn, massive, inspiring and inspiring, has strengthened the faith of the whole society in advancing the cause of nation-building and national renewal。
Make good deeds, and be polite. The establishment of martyrs ' days, the establishment of the healthy party and the national honorary recognition system, the intensification of the nation's major ceremonial activities, the increasing publicity efforts and the growing sense of honour, conviction and purpose of the people。
In the eyes of the canton, the red letter brigades are marked all over the country, and the chinese communist party museum of history and a large memorial to the chinese communist party have gathered their heads. The visitors are deeply aware of the spiritual spectrum of the chinese communist party, which is based on the spirit of the great founding party. Culture promotes the spiritual energy of dream-driven renewal in the silentness of the soil。
Value-enhanced leadership and implementation。
In march 2026, the `100 forums of core values' entered the twelfth secondary school in beijing city and conducted a lecture on `the spirit of rheeding and youth development', which inspired children to develop their skills and talents。
Cultivating and practising the core values of socialism makes it as ubiquitous as the air, as it is from time to time, a code of conduct that the people do not notice。
Today, the “time model” “the most beautiful” “good people of china” has emerged, leading the whole of society to be wise and championed by example; the culture of honesty is widespread; “waste on the tip of the tongue” is effectively curbed; and civilization competitions and civilized tourism have become a consensus. The core values of socialism integrate into all aspects of social life and embrace a new era of upward-to-goodness。
Culture is a people's place and an asset
General secretary xi stressed that “the `strength' of a strong cultural nation must ultimately be reflected in people's mindset, mental state and cultural upbringing”. This requires that we grasp the new needs of the people and insist on a people-centred approach in which people are the subjects of cultural creation, the masters of cultural heritage and the owners of cultural sharing。
It takes root in people, in life, in the pulse of the arts and culture, as it does in times, and it beats people。
From the centenary of the founding party, " the great march " , to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the chinese people's victory in the war against japan and the world's anti-fascist war, the festival " the victory of justice " , the scenes of the history of history, the consolidation of the hearts and minds of the people, and the celebration of the march for national renewal。
From " the child of the devil in the sea " , " black myth: the goku " , to " my al-tai " , to " this green " , " wing chun " , the arts and arts fields are deeply cultivated to feed the public。
Policy initiatives, such as the programme of work entitled “artistically enriched villages” (2025-2027), the three-year action plan for theatre revival (2026-2028), have been followed up by the creation of grass-roots arts positions and the planting of fertile ground for theatre development。
The promotion of cultural pluralism stimulates innovation and creativity throughout the nation。
In his message to the first summit of the cultural power building forum, secretary-general xi stressed that “better shoulder the new cultural mission, strong cultural self-confidence, open and inclusive, committed to positive innovation and inspired innovation and creativity throughout the nation”。
The vitality of culture lies in innovation. The “new popular arts in the context of the flourishing of the internet” was included in the “fifty-fifth five” programme, which is a reflection of the current era of the dynamism of cultural construction. Gansu's popular arts show sings the smoke of life, and zhejiangzhou's "all houses of lights" is a poem created by all。
Everyone is able to participate, live and live, and the stage of culture continues to expand. More than 40,000 new types of public cultural spaces have spread throughout rural and urban areas, making them “cultural living halls” around the people; the “village ba” “village super” “village song” “village night” and other “village characters” such as “village night” have been set up in hot circles to map the new era of rural spirituality。
To meet the new aspirations of the people and develop with cultural empowerment and quality。
This year's “five ones” holiday saw a double increase in the number of trips and in the total cost of trips to the country, and people are aware of the history and the spirit of the journey。
Culture is both a spiritual bond that unites people and a key factor in enhancing their well-being。
According to the most recent data, we have built 149,000 non-removable workshops, boosting the employment of more than 1. 3 million people in the relevant industries, and vividly interpreting the phrase “to feed a family and to rejuvenate a village”。
Today, advanced technologies, such as digital technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and so forth, are integrated into the entire chain of cultural creation and production, contributing to the emergence of new forms of business, such as online literature, short video, digital creation and the live economy; and the continuing release of the driving effect of the “blanc + 100” and the increasing role of culture and tourism in economic and social development。
To shape the economic bright spots with a culture of identity, to activate the consumption potential with a pluralist business state, to create a rallying force for development for all, and to transform the soft power of culture into the hard support of strong nation-building。
It's a story
General secretary xi stated that china's excellent traditional culture is the birthplace of the wisdom and essence of chinese civilization, the roots and spirit of the chinese nation, and the foundation upon which we stand in the world's cultural upheavals。
At present, the world has not changed for centuries, and it is all the more important to remain true, to remain outside, to look to the future, to remain committed to the positive and positive spirit of innovation, to be the custodian of cultural heritage, to be the continuation of the spirit of nationhood and to be the catalyst for the exchange of ideas among civilizations。
Keep your roots together, and you'll be very far away。
In july 2025, the “west shore” was added to the world heritage list; in december, the oral narrative art “imamakam” was transferred from the list of non-remains in need of protection to the list of human non-remain representatives, and the “imamkan” protection programme was selected for the roster of good protection practices. The cause of the preservation of our cultural heritage has handed over our bright-eyed report card。
The fourth national survey of cultural objects has yielded important milestones, new amendments to the law on the protection of cultural objects have been implemented, major projects such as the china-china civilization project and the archaeological china have yielded significant results, the construction of a national cultural park has been carried out in an orderly manner, the system of non-genetic experience facilities has been gradually developed and various historical and cultural resources have been enriched。
The “fifty five” programme outlines the promotion of systematic protection and integrated regulation of cultural heritage. The experts expressed the view that the development of a more high-quality and sustainable cultural heritage should be promoted through the acceleration of the development of a systematic system for the protection of cultural heritage that is relevant, systematic and synergistic。
To keep up innovation and activate contemporary values。
Recently, the exhibition "li jingshu and her times" was displayed at the national museum, and the story of the restoration of monuments has also received much attention, as has the story of moths and gold。
Local museums have been active in using new forms of technology such as digital interpretation, cloud exhibitions and immersion interaction to “open the mouth” cultural objects, leading the public view fair from “photography carding” to “text reading art”。
The national museum received 1. 56 billion visitors in 2025, and behind the figures is the constant warming of the “blog wind” of “vinbo fever” and its integration into the general public. In creative transformation and innovative development, china's excellent traditional culture, which is compatible with contemporary chinese society and compatible with the real life of its people, has become an indefensible source for the integration of ancient history and the nurturing of national spirituality。
Open and inclusive, contributing chinese wisdom。
On may 14, china’s us dollar prime minister gathered at the beijing forum to develop a sense of eastern wisdom in more than six hundred years’ history, to bring culture closer to the heart, and to breathe a warm and strong cultural dimension into the way the big countries live together。
In an open and inclusive spirit of civilization, the chinese culture embraces the world in a more confident, tolerant and open manner。
Actively implementing the global civilization initiative, building on high-end platforms such as the conference on dialogue among civilizations in asia and the liangxiang forum to deepen the dialogue among civilizations, the credible, lovely and respectable image of china has become even deeper. Cultural brands such as “happy springs” “tea and underground” continue to be rounded up, and online literature, online games, web-based video shows represent the cultural “new threes” that accelerates access to the sea and becomes a shining business card for the new era of china. From “china swims” where the heat continues to climb to “to become chinese” in depth, chinese culture has become more attractive and dynamic in the exchange of experiences。
It's been a long life. It's a civilization. It's beautiful。
From 21 to 22 may, the 2026 cultural power building summit will be held in shenzhen, guangdong. This cultural event will further bring together strong forces to promote cultural prosperity and build strong cultural nations。
Upon taking a new historical starting point, and guided by xi jinping's intellectual science, we have anchored our strategic goal of becoming a strong cultural nation by 2035, shining the way forward with the light of thought and creating a culture that will bring about the resilience of the chinese culture, which will surely be crowned with a new glory。
