| Turning the historical page of twentieth century, Chinese people chose socialism with Chinese characteristics unswervingly and created a uniquely resplendent picture. However, why did Chinese people choose socialism? What is the distinction between socialism with Chinese characteristics and classical socialism? where will be the orientation for Chinese socialism? Previous explanations for such sphinx riddle are not perfect. Therefore, persisting in dialectical and historical materialism, from Chinese Meme perspective to discover its mystery, is the best choice without any doubt.Meme refers to the integration and unification between fresh cultural tradition and resuscitable traditional culture. Compared with biological genetic inheritance, cultural genetic inheritance is distinctly provided with such characters as externality, periphery, interconversion, variability and immateriality. Its lateral diffusion and vertical continuation have different function to assure cultural transmittal, to hold nationality together, to standardize countrymen's behavior, and to regulate social tendency. To some extent, Meme brings up national character, preference and behavior. Which dominates social development as important as railway for train.In Chinese traditional culture, Meme of native socialism is abundant. China inherent ideal such as the thought of people,the great harmony in the world,collectivism,the whole world as one community,distribution equally, although which have experienced baptism of nationalism alteration, has already turned into Chinese thought and actions, and melted into Chinese cultural mentality and national character which has infiltrated each aspect of social existence. Chinese inherent socialistic Meme, on the one hand, is connected with scientific socialism which has provided ideological precondition for Chinese to accept scientific socialism; on the other hand, induces Chinese to misunderstand or misinterpret the essence of scientific socialism.During Chinese revolution, construction and reform, Chinese inherent socialistic Meme play a role anywhere and anytime. At revolutionary time, it, activated by October Revolution, under the slogan of "inherit unfulfilled wish", has accomplished the connection between Marxism and Chinese Meme for the first time. Which has made Chinese revolutionary road gradually change, and Chinese revolutionary road and model come into being. At constructive time, it was recalled by the new society, prompted by the slogan "reconstruct culture", through healthy development and hard flexure, which has established Chinese socialism system, laid a stabile foundation for socialism with Chinese characteristics. At reforming time, it, encouraged by the slogan "carry forward tradition", has accomplished the connection between Marxism and Chinese Meme for the second time. Which has formed the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and has explored the great road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Culture meme was activated, which led Chinese revolution has changed from democracy to socialism and regulated Chinese socialism tendency which made it differ from classical socialism and Soviet Union model. To some extent, it assures the flag of socialism with Chinese characteristics to fly high.Look to the future, socialism with Chinese characteristics will consequentially continue to keep Chinese characteristics and head for the world. Chinese tradition has led socialism to the road of Chinese characteristics, and has represented more and more nationality feature. Which has explored a new road and new model for Chinese modernization. Nationality means globality. Contacting with the world has not vanished the self - identity of nationality. If we admit that the development of history has its own rules, national socialism will consequentially turn into global socialism. Therefore, socialism with Chinese characteristics will make greater contribution to human being.To hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics requires us to protect cultural foundation stoutly. On the background of economic globalization, China has to continue to face new challenges from west powerful culture. The challenges concern not only the tendency of Chinese culture, but also the development of socialism and the renaissance of Chinese nation. Therefore, to keep to the socialism with Chinese characteristics, to fight against cultural hegemony, and to ensure cultural safety become more and more important and more and more imminent. How to protect the cultural foundation of socialism with Chinese characteristics? My basic conclusion: to protect and reanalyze traditional culture and to refine Meme, we should make great efforts to construct the harmonic culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. |
