Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on people who work in the
field of philosophy and social sciences to promote the evolution and
growth of fine traditional Chinese culture in new and creative ways. Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central
Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the
remarks when writing back on Sunday to editors of the Journal of Chinese
Humanities. Founded in May 1951, the journal is the country's oldest comprehensive academic journal on humanities. In the past 70 years since it started publication, the journal --
under the Party's leadership -- has done a lot of work to promote
Chinese civilization and enrich academic research, Xi said, applauding
these efforts which have won recognition from home and abroad. Xi spoke of the importance of a profound understanding of the Chinese
civilization to let the world better know and understand China, and
urged efforts to combine theories and practices to expound how to better
uphold the Chinese path, promote the Chinese spirit, and pool together
the Chinese strength. Xi urged the journal to remain true to its original aspiration, lead
innovation, produce more high-quality works, support the growth of
distinguished experts and boost international academic exchanges.
