reliance and cultural reliance is a key indicator of cultural self-confidence.Eventually,cultural self-confidence inevitably comes from culture enrichments via continuous culture development and the implementation of cultural reliance.The socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is an organic combination of Marxist cultural theory and China’s practical development.In the process of the
