Abstract: Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese path to modernization has become the theme of development of the times, and fine traditional Chinese culture has provided a profound cultural heritage for pursuing the Chinese path to modernization. This paper aims to comb through the relevant ideas in fine traditional Chinese culture, and grasp the commonalities between the Chinese and Western paths to modernization and the characteristics of the Chinese path to modernization, so as to build a solid traditional cultural foundation for the Chinese path to modernization. Research shows that the commonality between the Chinese and Western paths to modernization lies in the idea of “discarding the outdated in favor of the new”, while “when there are so many people, what should be done next”, “regarding the people as the foundation of the state”, “educating people when they are rich”, “promoting harmony between humanity and nature”, “fostering neighborliness” and other ideas in traditional culture fully reflect the characteristics of the Chinese path to modernization such as the huge population, common prosperity for all, material and culturalethical advancement, harmony between humanity and nature, and peaceful development. The construction of the Chinese path to modernization requires fully drawing strength from the countrys fine traditional culture, focusing on the core issue of “when there are so many people, what should be done next”, pursuing a development path that emphasizes both “enriching people” and “educating people”, creating a sound development environment through “promoting harmony between humanity and nature” and “fostering neighborliness”, and making the reform the fundamental driving force for development based on the idea of “discarding the outdated in favor of the new”.

Key words: the Chinese path to modernization, fine traditional Chinese culture, commonality of modernization, characteristics of the Chinese path to modernization

摘要： 党的二十大以来，中国式现代化成为时代发展的主题，中华优秀传统文化则为中国式现代化提供了深厚的文化底蕴。本文旨在通过对中华优秀传统文化中相关思想的梳理，把握中国式现代化与西方现代化的共性以及中国式现代化的特性，为中国式现代化构筑坚实的传统文化根基。研究表明，中国式现代化与西方式现代化的共性在于“革故鼎新”思想，而传统文化中“既庶何加”“民为邦本”“富而教之”“天人合一”“亲仁善邻”等思想则充分反映了中国式现代化所具备的人口规模巨大、全体人民共同富裕、物质文明和精神文明相协调、人与自然和谐共生、走和平发展道路等特性。中国式现代化建设需要充分从中华优秀传统文化中汲取养料，围绕“既庶何加”这一核心问题，选择“富之”与“教之”两手齐抓的发展路径，以“天人合一”“亲仁善邻”的理念营造良好的发展环境，以“革故鼎新”的理念让改革成为发展的根本动力。
