Title: National Spirit and Cultural Identity in A Harmonious Society
Abstract: As a part of the construction of advanced culture the cultivation of national spirit is a major force to keep the cultural identity in the process of building a harmonious society in China. The national spirit is not only the dialectical unity of ancient, modern and contemporary spiritual traditions, but also the unity of political and cultural significances, as well as the unity of nationalities and universalities. There are four approaches to construct national spirit. Firstly, we should gather up and exalt new spirits and new experiences emerging from contemporary people's practice to enrich the national spirit. Secondly, we should intensify academic research and make innovative explanation in the field of traditional culture to deepen the meaning of the national spirit. Thirdly, we should encourage general population to participate in the free dialogues on the issue of national spirit. Finally, we attempt to make the national spirit become an intrinsic factor of free personality.
