Abstract: The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward new requirements for building up cultural confidence and strength, which calls for further elucidating the theoretical connotation of cultural strength. The improvement of Chinas comprehensive national strength and the transformation of its development goals inherently require the construction of cultural strength. The proposition of cultural strength put forward by the Chinese Communists is the theoretical achievement of the specific application of materialist dialectics in the field of culture. Specifically, cultural strength includes the profound connotation of relying on its own cultural resources and strength, and taking its own development as the value and purpose to continuously develop a strong Chinese culture and enable it to undertake the important task of leading the construction of a modern and powerful country and the trend of world development. The realization of cultural strength requires the promotion of new cultural creation. Cultural creation is the internal requirement and fundamental guarantee for the cultivation of cultural strength, while the goal of building up cultural strength provides the value direction and driving force for cultural creation. In terms of the realistic pathways, to build up cultural strength through new cultural creation, efforts are needed to build the psychological foundation of socialist modernization, realize the highquality development of cultural industries and cultural undertakings, and generate a more influential international image. Culture is thus considered to be pursued as an end in order to build up cultural strength and promote the free and allround development of people.

Key words: cultural strength, cultural creation, realistic pathways, free and allround development of people

摘要： 党的二十大报告提出了推进文化自信自强的新要求，这需要我们对文化自强的理论内涵加以深入阐发。我国综合国力的提升与发展目标的转变内在地需要文化自强的出场。中国共产党人自觉提出文化自强的命题是唯物辩证法在文化领域具体运用所诞生的理论成果。具体来说，文化自强包含着依托自身文化资源、依靠自身文化力量、以自身为价值旨归，不断发展强大中国文化、使其足以承担引领现代化强国建设前进方向以及世界发展潮流重任的深刻内涵。实现文化自强需要新的文化创造加以推动，文化创造是实现文化自强的内在要求和根本保障，而实现文化自强的目标则为文化创造提供了价值指向和前进动力。从现实路径来说，以新的文化创造推动文化自强，需要努力构建社会主义现代化的心理基础、实现文化产业与文化事业的高质量发展以及塑造更具影响力的国际形象，同时需要文化本身作为目的性的存在要素，以实现文化自强推动人的自由而全面的发展。
