Cultural self -confidence must make good use of foreign language tools | Yangtze River comments

In the past two days, the Ministry of Education's response to the "suggestion on enhancing cultural self -confidence, increasing the reform of Chinese cultural content teaching and reducing the proportion of English teaching" caused heated discussions on the Internet. The call to reduce the proportion of English learning has been in recent years. The Ministry of Education has explained in this reply that the proportion of foreign languages ​​in primary and secondary schools is lower than that of Chinese and other disciplines, and also lower than the disciplines of sports and health.

The proportion of foreign language learning has triggered a discussion, reflecting the rethinking of the Chinese people's foreign language learning purposes.

In modern times, the mountains and rivers were broken because of the "retreat to lock the country", and "opening the eyes to see the world" became the sound of progress. In the past 100 years, China has often been in the position of learners in modern scientific exchanges with Western Western, just as in the process of modernization, China was in the position of chasing people. For a century, Western works have been introduced in the country, and the number of types from the type to the number is extremely amazing.

Today, China has ushered in a great leap from standing up, rich to stronger, accompanied by the rapid improvement of comprehensive national strength, and it is imperative ; Accelerating the formation of the Chinese discourse system, and forming the task of international discourse that matches the comprehensive national strength and international status, it is urgent than ever before. China is increasingly closer to the center of the world stage, making Chinese voices in the world, and exerting Chinese power in participating in global governance and contributing Chinese wisdom in promoting human civilization.

A firm cultural self -confidence is not contradictory. Under the new historical conditions, we must use the tools of foreign languages. On the one hand, we will promote the exchange and mutual learning of civilization, and use the long -term use of the people. On the other hand, we will introduce Chinese culture to the world and tell the world to the world.

Cultural self -confidence is one of the most significant features of the new era. True self -confidence must not only oppose arrogance, but also opposes the great self -esteem. The source of Chinese civilization has been around for more than 5,000 years. It has been stretched in human civilization to this day. It has come from the strong vitality of our traditional culture, but also comes from the broad minds of Chinese civilization. Civilization exchanges due to diverse, mutual learning for exchanges, and developing due to mutual learning. This is a logical chain of civilization development and an important characteristic of Chinese civilization. In ancient China, there was the great ideal of "the world is the public" and "the United States and the United States". At the moment, when China was running to the great dream of the national rejuvenation, China promoted the common value of all humanity contained in Chinese civilization all over the world and promoted the establishment of a community of human destiny. This It is also strong self -confidence and confidence.
