Promoting Qilu culture and strengthening cultural confidence

Ju Xiaocong

The Chinese nation has had a fine history of “changing generations and revising history” and collating classics literature since ancient times，which has created a large number of classics literatures. Classics literature is the spirit of China and the soul of the nation，which is the basis of realizing the great renaissance of the Chinese nation and building cultural self-confidence.It is the duty of every Chinese people to study and make the best use of these cultural heritages and protect the precious classic literature of the Chinese nation.

In the speech at UNESCO Headquarters， General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out： “In the process of realizing the Chinese dream， the Chinese people will promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese civilization in accordance with the new progress of the times， activate their vitality， and transcend time and space. The cultural spirit that transcends the country， has eternal charm， and has contemporary values is carried forward， so that the cultural relics collected in the museum， the heritage displayed on the vast land， and the characters written in the ancient books are all alive， and the Chinese civilization and the people of the world are created. Together with the rich and colorful civilization， it provides humans with the right spiritual guidance and strong spiritual motivation.”

The protection of ancient books， the work in the contemporary， the benefit of the future！ It is not easy for a precious ancient book to be preserved after thousands of years of circulation and repeated disasters. In the pages of these precious ancient books that have been broken yellow， they not only bear the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors， but also tell us the vicissitudes of history. Ancient books are the important civilization achievements created by the Chinese nation in the course of thousands of years of historical development. They contain the unique spiritual values and thinking concepts of the Chinese nation. They are the historical witnesses of the Chinese civilization that have lasted for thousands of years and are in the same vein. This is the precious spirit of the Chinese nation. Wealth is also an important form of inheritance of civilization and a non-renewable cultural resource.

Once youth is over， it can never come back， never see a second sunrise in a day. We should encourage ourselves when we are in the prime of life， for time passes without waiting for others.Today， when socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new age， there will not be a great renaissance of the Chinese nation without a high degree of cultural confidence and cultural prosperity.We should cherish the hard-won learning and practice opportunities， in order to keep a positive attitude， try to finish each task， with high sense of responsibility， rigorous learning attitude and serious work style， actively carry forward the excellent traditional culture. Just like the xi general secretary said in 19th major report， the contemporary Chinese communists and the Chinese people must be able to take on a new cultural mission， and in practice to create cultural creativity， realize the cultural progress in the historical progress.

As a college student in the new age， we should guard the? spark of Chinese civilization， remember our mission， never forget our original wish， and always remember in mind the responsibilities and obligations given to us by history.Be strict with ourselves， continuous progress and innovation， make the good a habit and transfrom the the success into a state of nature， which is no guilt toword the expectations of parents， teachers and society. let us show the elegant demeanour of our contemporary college students with full enthusiasm to all human， make unremitting efforts to achieve the Chinese dream ofthe great renaissance of the Chinese nation .
