The Chinese civilization has gone through many vicissitudes and been passed down from generation to generation. It is the only great civilization in the world that has continued to develop in the form of a nation. The five prominent characteristics of continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace have jointly shaped the overall characteristics of Chinese civilization, forming a profound and extensive system of values and civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "Chinese civilization has a long and profound history, is a unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary Chinese culture, the spiritual bond that maintains Chinese people around the world, and the treasure of Chinese cultural innovation." Fully understanding the connotation and value of Chinese civilization will help us better promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and enhance the country's cultural soft power. 1. Chinese civilization has rich connotations. Chinese civilization is a diverse and integrated civilization system created by multiple ethnic groups, which has been continuously enriched and developed over thousands of years of history, and its connotations are very rich. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that China's excellent traditional culture is the wisdom and essence of Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to stand firm in the turbulence of world culture. The report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "China's excellent traditional culture has a long history, is broad and profound, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization, which contains the world as the public, the people as the foundation of the state, the governance of virtue, innovation, meritocracy, the unity of heaven and man, self-improvement, integrity, good faith, good neighborliness, etc., which is an important embodiment of the Chinese people's cosmology, world outlook, social outlook, and moral outlook accumulated in the long-term production and life". The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the cultural root of the Chinese nation. The ideas, humanistic spirit and moral norms contained in it are not only the core of our Chinese thought and spirit, but also of great value in solving human problems. Excellent traditional Chinese culture is an important component of Chinese civilization. The connotation of Chinese civilization is inseparable from its long historical development. As a civilization with a history of over 5000 years, Chinese civilization contains rich historical heritage, cultural heritage, and traditional values, including language, literature, art, architecture, clothing, medicine, cuisine, and many other aspects. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that cultural relics and heritage carry the genes and bloodline of the Chinese nation, and are irreplaceable and irreplaceable resources of China's excellent civilization. These historical heritage, cultural heritage and traditional values have played an important role in shaping Chinese civilization, not only reflecting the development and evolution of Chinese civilization in different historical periods, demonstrating the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people, but also providing valuable experience and wisdom for modern society, reflecting the unique aesthetic taste and artistic pursuit of the Chinese people. Chinese civilization emphasizes values such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, traditional morals such as filial piety and loyalty, harmony between humans and nature, and individual cultivation and inner spiritual pursuit; The pursuit is not only material wealth, but also emphasizes human development, emphasizing reverence for life, respect for others, self-improvement, social responsibility, collective interests, etc. These values still have important significance in contemporary society; Emphasize the education and promotion of moral ethics, emphasize the relationship between people, advocate benevolence, tolerance, humility, and reverence and protection of the natural environment. This wisdom and philosophy lay the foundation for the formation of social order and the harmony of interpersonal relationships. Chinese civilization also emphasizes obtaining nourishment from exchanges with other civilizations. Throughout history, Chinese civilization has continuously exchanged ideas with world civilizations, and the great achievements of Chinese civilization such as papermaking, compass, and gunpowder have spread to various parts of the world, profoundly influencing the progress of human civilization. At the same time, Buddhism spread eastward and Western learning spread eastward, and the achievements of the Industrial Revolution were introduced into modern China, continuously enriching the connotation of Chinese civilization. More than a hundred years ago, in order to awaken the "sleeping lion" of China and save the "sinking of Shenzhou", a group of benevolent and ambitious people devoted themselves to exploring the truth of saving the country and the people. In the awakening of culture, we have chosen Marxism and the socialist path, while maintaining the uniqueness of the Chinese path and the independence of Chinese civilization. The power of Marxist truth has activated the strong vitality of Chinese civilization, unleashing a powerful spiritual force once again. 2. Deeply grasp the prominent characteristics of Chinese civilization. In the long-term development process, Chinese civilization has formed the spiritual traits and development forms of benevolence, people-oriented, integrity, justice, harmony, and pursuit of great harmony, and has formed outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace, thus distinguishing itself from other civilizations in the world and having unique characteristics. Continuity is one of the prominent characteristics of Chinese civilization, reflecting the Chinese nation's inheritance of its own history and the continuous development of traditional culture. The Chinese nation has always regarded history as an important cornerstone of its own development, and respecting and inheriting history is an important manifestation of the continuity of Chinese civilization. Thousands of years of long history have provided a solid foundation and abundant resources for Chinese civilization. The classic literature, historical records, and artistic works of ancient China are powerful proof of the continuity of Chinese civilization. People continuously deepen their understanding and cognition of Chinese civilization through studying history, flipping through ancient books, and inheriting traditional skills. Chinese civilization contains rich and diverse traditional cultures, such as Confucianism and Taoism, Buddhist culture, traditional medicine, and culinary culture. These traditional cultures have maintained their unique values in different historical periods and continuously developed and passed down to meet the needs of the times. Continuous history does not mean being unchanging, Chinese civilization is a civilization of innovation and renewal. For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has demonstrated its innovation in various fields. This innovation is prominently reflected in aspects such as ideology, technology, and systems. For example, during the pre Qin period, the various schools of thought put forward their own philosophical systems, offering unique insights on human nature, morality, politics, and other aspects; The introduction of Buddhism has broadened the philosophical thinking in China; The rise of Neo Confucianism during the Song and Ming dynasties was an important milestone in the history of Chinese philosophy... This innovative development in the field of thought greatly influenced the development and evolution of ancient Chinese society. The technological innovation of the Chinese nation has also attracted worldwide attention. The the Four Great Inventions of ancient China are undoubtedly the representative works of China's scientific and technological innovation and have played an important role in promoting the development of world civilization. The institutional innovation of the Chinese nation is also praised by the world. The bureaucratic system and imperial examination system in ancient China provided a highly unified and stable political system, greatly promoting cultural prosperity and social progress, and also influencing the relevant institutional systems of other countries. Since ancient times, the unified ideology has been engraved in the hearts of every Chinese child, and Chinese civilization has outstanding unity. In the continuous historical development, Chinese civilization has formed a diverse and integrated pattern. From a macro perspective, it is not created by one or several ethnic groups as the main body, but by all ethnic groups working together; From a micro perspective, it manifests as the long-term development and integration of language, writing, customs, habits, and other aspects among various ethnic groups. Although different dynasties have emerged in history, Chinese civilization has always maintained its own continuity and unity. Despite China's vast territory and large population, the political, cultural, and psychological identities formed over thousands of years have effectively maintained the stability of a unified multi-ethnic country. This kind of identity transcends the barriers between time, space, and ethnicity, and has continued to influence the development and progress of Chinese society in different historical periods. The broad atmosphere of Chinese civilization is largely attributed to the open attitude and inclusive mindset of Chinese culture since ancient times. Over thousands of years of development, Chinese civilization has accumulated wisdom in absorbing and integrating various cultures. Whether it is the influence of foreign cultures brought about by ancient Silk Road trade or the introduction of modern Western culture, Chinese civilization has absorbed these foreign cultures in its unique way and integrated them into its local culture. This inclusiveness has enabled the continuous development and growth of Chinese civilization, making it one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Under the inclusiveness of Chinese civilization, various ethnic minorities and religions have found their own development space. Different schools of thought can coexist, and different values can learn from each other, jointly creating a colorful cultural landscape. As an ancient and enduring civilization, Chinese civilization has always emphasized peace. The Chinese civilization advocates "harmony among nations", "harmony in diversity", and "harmony is precious". For thousands of years, peace has been integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation and carved into the genes of the Chinese people. Peace plays an important role in Chinese civilization and has had a profound impact on the entire society. Confucianism emphasizes the importance of social order and morality, thereby achieving social harmony and national stability. At the same time, Chinese civilization emphasizes family harmony, requires respect for elders, and advocates family affection, which is also an important factor in achieving social peace. Chinese excellent traditional culture emphasizes self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, and peace of the world, emphasizing individual inner cultivation and moral qualities to promote social harmony and stability. The peace of Chinese civilization runs through its ideology, system, and cultural traditions. It is not only an important value of Chinese civilization, but also an important foundation for promoting national stability, social harmony, and individual happiness. 3. The contemporary value of Chinese civilization is constantly highlighted, and history fully demonstrates that in times of national crisis and national peril, Chinese civilization can always gather tremendous strength; At a time of national strength and rejuvenation, Chinese civilization has always been able to lead the trend of the times and promote social progress. Currently, the changes in the world, the times, and history are unfolding in unprecedented ways, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. The international community's attention to Chinese culture is increasing day by day, and it is expected that Chinese culture will play a greater role in the development and progress of human civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "in the long history of civilization development of more than 5000 years, the Chinese people have created a dazzling Chinese civilization and made significant contributions to the progress of human civilization." We should comprehensively and deeply understand the evolution history of Chinese civilization, more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and more vigorously promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, so as to continuously demonstrate the contemporary value of Chinese civilization and have a greater influence in the world. The Chinese civilization has accumulated rich wisdom in its long-term historical evolution, which has guiding significance for solving the problems faced by modern society and providing valuable experience for the development of modern society. From traditional medicine to philosophical thought, from religious beliefs to moral ethics, Chinese civilization has provided a model for contemporary society to learn from and draw inspiration from. The uniqueness of Chinese civilization lies in its emphasis on the concepts of harmony, balance, and sustainable development, which is in line with the current international community's demand for sustainable development. By inheriting and developing the wisdom and experience of Chinese civilization, we can provide new ideas and solutions for solving global environmental, social, and economic problems. For example, the concept of harmony of the Chinese civilization provides a reference for solving the problems of social division and conflict, the moral principles of the Chinese civilization provide guidance for building a harmonious society, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture provides the Chinese people with a sense of spiritual belonging and cultural identity, which has a unique role in enhancing social cohesion and cultural self-confidence. Chinese civilization is a unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary Chinese culture, the spiritual bond that connects Chinese people around the world, and the treasure of Chinese cultural innovation. At present, we should inherit the essence of traditional civilization and actively integrate into the achievements of contemporary civilization to meet the needs of social development
