Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi Jinping has mentioned the concept of cultural confidence many times, on which he has made a series of important speeches illustrating the significance of cultural confidence on national development, national rejuvenation, and people's happiness. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, where the topic of how to consolidate cultural confidence is still "a matter of rise and fall of nations, a matter of cultural security, and a matter of the independence of the national spirit". To answer and solve this problem, we should correctly handle the relations between "principles and pursuits of interest, old and new, inside and outside, similarities and differences, front and back", namely insist on people-oriented development and reach the harmony of social benefits and economic returns; adhere to the guiding role of Marxism and push forward the innovative transformation and creative evolution of China's traditional culture; firmly resist the erosion and impact of erroneous Western ideological trends and strengthen the power of discourse in international affairs; enhance the protection and promotion of cultural heritage to pass on the continuity of China's cultural development; draw lessons from history to continue the past and open up the future and unswervingly walk on the path of Chinese socialism.
