Introduction "Cultural confidence" is an important strategy to strengthen the country, and a country's cultural export capacity is also an important embodiment of a country's soft power. Strong culture means the cultural confidence of a country and its people, the prosperity of a country, and the happiness and well-being of its people. Xi general secretary pointed out: "the Chinese nation has formed in more than 5000 years historical evolution of the bright civilization, the communist party of China has one hundred years of practice and experience of more than 70 years in governing and rejuvenating the country, we actively learn from all beneficial achievements of human civilization, welcome all constructive Suggestions and well-meaning criticism, but we do not accept" teacher secretary "preaching the bossy! [1] Cultural confidence is a more broad-based and profound confidence. In recent years, relevant leaders in China have constantly put forward the importance of cultural confidence on the basis of Marxism, and constantly innovate and convey new guiding policies for the path of socialist cultural confidence with Chinese characteristics. Implementation of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is confident to carry forward the excellent traditional culture, not only bring forth the fresh constantly, carry forward the advanced culture, resist the backward culture, also need all rivers run into sea, actively communicate with overseas, add Chinese culture to the sea of world culture, the fountain of confidence to achieve the strategic goal of cultural power, to further promote the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. 2. First, Take Marxism as the Theoretical Source of Cultural Confidence of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics In essence, Marxism also belongs to the social and cultural reflection of the objective world, and its views on culture are also a correct scientific view of science and culture put forward by Marx and others in combination with practice under a certain social background, which is scientific and advanced. Marxism has made clear its important position on social culture. With the continuous emergence and development of social culture, it also continuously exerts an impact on the economy. In general, it is a powerful assistant to continuously promote the development of social experience. Therefore, cultural phenomena also belong to the spiritual embodiment of social and political development. Culture is a kind of spirit of human expression, is to reflect the spirit of human practice level activities, therefore, from this perspective, the cultural confidence and practice of a spiritual reflection, is an expression, follow the spirit of the relevant national leaders put forward a series of BCP Social Sciences & Humanities ERSS 2021 Volume 14 (2021) 270 cultural self-confidence concept such as road confidence, system and theory of self-confidence, Both are expressed and presented through culture at the practical level. At the most critical moment in modern China, The Chinese Communists found Marxism-Leninism, and continued to integrate marxism-Leninism with China's realities. They used the power of Marxist truth to activate the great civilization that the Chinese nation had created over thousands of years, thus giving rise to strong spiritual strength again. [2] Therefore, it is very important to adhere to cultural confidence for the development of the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which will make our road to prosperity smoother. To achieve cultural confidence in socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must adhere to the leadership of the CPC. Cultural confidence needs a direction and a backbone, and socialist culture with Chinese characteristics should have a leadership core. Only when the direction of cultural development is clear, can we build cultural confidence. "The thought of the ruling class is the dominant thought in every age. That is to say, a class is the dominant material force in society as well as the dominant spiritual force in society."[3] Marxism profoundly reveals the important influence of the ruling class on ideology and culture. The CPC's practical activities have continuously enriched and developed Marxism, and its century-long history of struggle has continuously integrated the Chinese spirit and the Chinese heritage into Marxism, while preserving the basic characteristics of Marxism. This makes the Chinese communist party, led by the confidence of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics road also fully possess the characteristic of marxism, is a continuation and development of marxism, is the inheritance and development of marxism in the new era the necessity for cultural point of view, is also the important of adhere to the leadership of the communist party of China. In recent years, China has continuously carried out ideological and cultural education at all levels, allowing Marxism to penetrate deeply into the masses, but also embodies and strengthens the Marxist theory of the ruling class. 3. Second, Occupy Ideological and Cultural Positions with Marxist Culture Adhering to the guidance of Marxism reflects the importance of ideology and culture in the process of social development, and also reflects the discussion of the importance of Marxism to ideology and culture. Throughout history, ideology and culture played an important role in every dynasty. Guan Zhong, a famous statesman of the State of Qi, said in his "Four Dimensions of the State" that the ideological outline of governance was of great importance to the stable development of the state and the cohesion of the people. It is often said in ancient times that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the hearts of the people are reflected in the ideological and cultural level of the people. The struggle in the current ideological field is extremely complex, and it cannot automatically obtain the ideological core position. It is also necessary to take the initiative to occupy the ideological field and actively carry out ideological production and propaganda. Maintain the dominant position of mainstream ideology in society. It is these men who create principles, ideas and categories according to their social relations which they establish according to their material productivity."[4] Nowadays, the trend of social and cultural diversity is becoming more and more obvious. However, in a society, if there is only difference and diversity, but no consistency and unity, the society will become a mess of sand, and the country will be divided. Therefore, only by forming a consensus on core values can a society maintain its orderly development and normal operation. Adhering to Marxism, condensing ideological forces, strengthening the construction of ideological positions and carrying forward socialist core values are conducive to the integration of different values in the society and the unification of different ideologies, which play a leading role in promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture. Occupying the ideological and cultural position with Marxism and realizing the cultural confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics is also an inevitable requirement of the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is not only one-sided material development, BCP Social Sciences & Humanities ERSS 2021 Volume 14 (2021) 271 but also needs to develop the spiritual and cultural needs of the people and meet their overall spiritual and material needs. After The introduction of Marxism to China, the idea of scientific socialism was warmly welcomed by the Chinese people, and eventually took root and bore fruit in China. It was by no means accidental, but in harmony with China's fine history and culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and values which the vast majority of the people are unaware of in daily life. [5] The people's nature is the most distinctive feature of Marxism. The Party relies on the people to develop and grow, and it will continue to serve the people. Adhering to Marxism can help maintain the Party's constant adherence to its original aspiration, forever preserving its advanced nature, and forever upholding the concept of serving the people. In recent years, the state "tigers and flies together to fight", continuous anti-corruption, adhere to the fight against corruption, many bureaucratic and other bad habits have been corrected, constantly let the people see the Determination of the Party, maintain the party's advanced nature, so that the Party has a more solid mass base. Confidence in the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics must be led by the Party and supported by the people. Confidence in the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics must be based on Marxism, constantly fulfilling the people's spiritual and cultural needs and filling them with confidence. The cultural confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics must be firm and unshakable. Facts constantly tell us that in a certain historical period, if Marxism had not occupied our ideological and cultural position, it would have been eroded by unhealthy ideology and culture. This is a prominent characteristic of the ideological and cultural field in the primary stage of socialism. At present our country is still in the stage of reform was deepened, profound changes and colorful social life, economy, ideology and culture communication, flowers schools of thought contend, have advanced network technology popularization, people also is varied, the different values of various cultural churning, feudalism, historical nihilism, capitalist penetration mixed among them, There is no lack of reactionary elements trying to divide the masses of our people. The masses are facing many choices but also increasing the crisis of ideology, culture and belief. Therefore, it is necessary to allow advanced Marxism to occupy the ideological and cultural front, break through the infiltration of other countries' ideological, cultural and political conspiracies into China, and resolutely break down the "psychological war" so that the people can firm up their ideals and beliefs and guard their ideological front. Over the years, we have seen too many ideological security problems caused by a lack of cultural confidence. Although extremely absurd and clumsy, the Cult organization of Falun Gong, which was prevalent in the early years, was capable of making a racket, mentally manipulating its practitioners and even capturing a number of party members, cadres and intellectuals who had lost their political vigilance. For historical nihilism, if the image of the country and the martyrs for the founding of new China and national liberation can be entertained, then for a Chinese, his values and world outlook must be guided and revised. Because, for a country, a nation, if the history is cut off, it is cut off the roots of survival, become a pool of stagnant water. Is the Chinese communists marxist, but also faithful to inherit and carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture, the Chinese communists is marxist, adhere to the scientific theory of marxism, adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, but the communist party of China is not history nihilist, nor cultural nihilism.[6] The disintegration of the Soviet Union in the world was due to the lack of attention to historical nihilism and the lack of guidance for the values and world outlook of the majority of Chinese people, which ultimately led to irreversible consequences. Historical nihilism not only affects people's cognition of real history, but also seriously damages the security of ideology. We must take a clear-cut stand against historical nihilism, expand and strengthen the front of positive propaganda, and constantly consolidate and strengthen mainstream ideological and public opinion. We will tell our Party's theories, principles, policies and history well, and tell the stories of our heroes and China's stories well. We need to create films, television programs and online videos that reflect real history and the course of arduous struggle. We need to foster a strong social atmosphere in which people know history, love the Party, know history and love the country, and actively guide people, especially young people, to have a correct understanding of history. BCP Social Sciences & Humanities ERSS 2021 Volume 14 (2021) 272 4. Adhere to the Confident Guidance of Marxism to Socialist Culture with Chinese Characteristics 4.1 Inheriting Fine Traditional Chinese Culture and Exploring the Values of the Times We should clearly explain the historical origin, development path and basic trend of fine traditional Chinese culture, as well as the unique creation, values and distinctive features of Chinese culture, so as to enhance confidence in our culture and values. [7] The excellent traditional Chinese culture is an important source of cultural confidence. China's outstanding traditional culture is the value system that binds the Chinese people together and the bond that keeps 56 ethnic groups living in harmony. It is collectively known as the soul and "root" of the Chinese nation. At the same time, she has far- reaching influence. Chinese culture has a long history and has played its own unique role in the world in different periods. The Chinese Communists are and will always be unswerving historical materialists. They will never sever history, but will resolutely carry forward the fine traditional Chinese culture. The importance of excellent traditional culture is reflected in the continuous spiritual power of the Chinese nation, the continuous continuation of the cultural gene of the Chinese nation, and the pillar of the spiritual home of the Chinese nation. Excellent traditional culture contains the spirit and value concept and moral foundation for the modern society into power, provide the basis for the moral concept of new era, is an important source of the socialist core values, is the important sources of thoughts, the communist party of China governing the vitality in the new era is still burst into. In the cultural concept of Marxism, it is put forward that culture has national characteristics. The cultural confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics must also have a national character. The cultural highland of socialism with Chinese characteristics belongs to the Chinese nation and can never be occupied by any state organization. At the same time, no period of history is isolated, marxism is formed under historical conditions, but through the rich practice of Chinese Communists, Chinese Marxism has been formed, and on the basis of Marxism, theories with Chinese nationality have been formed. General Secretary Xi once practiced "staying true to our founding mission", which means staying true to China's excellent traditional culture and the spirit of socialist revolution. Chinese Communists are practitioners of Marxism and disseminators of Marxism. Meanwhile, Chinese Communists have also become disseminators of Excellent Traditional Chinese culture in practice. In the course of one hundred years of struggle, Chinese Communists have integrated the historical experience of China's development into the development of Marxism, effectively integrated Chinese wisdom and Chinese spirit into Marxism, constantly enriched and developed marxist theory, and provided reference and reference for marxists around the world. And the creative transformation of Marxism in Chinese language into the inexhaustible spiritual power to continue the development of China. 4.2 Adhering to Openness in Culture and Embracing All Rivers, Exchanges and Common Learning We should make the past serve the present, make foreign products serve China, integrate all resources, and constantly promote innovation in knowledge, theories and methods." [8] In the View of Marxist culture, national culture should be open from the perspective of world time domain. It should be emphasized that adhering to the excellent traditional Chinese culture does not mean blindly remaining complacent and shutting off the country. The painful history of the Jin State has made the Chinese nation deeply aware of the importance of open communication, and the development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics should also adhere to the openness upheld by Marxism. The sinicization of marxism is not only in order to make the development of our country through cultural, set up cultural self-confidence, to build a socialist culture power, improve the influence and cultural soft power on the world stage, also need to be able to continuously carry forward the Chinese characteristic culture, determined on the basis of cultural self-confidence, To show the unique cultural and moral connotations and spiritual values of the Chinese nation to the outside world, so as to enable BCP Social Sciences & Humanities ERSS 2021 Volume 14 (2021) 273 more countries to understand the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and build a discourse system. Socialist culture with Chinese characteristics not only has the eternal charm of its unique, contemporary also has the unique cultural value, the value should not only present in our country, more should be fully spread out, show the charm of Chinese characteristic socialism culture, which requires we have to achieve the goal of cultural power, promote the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics of communication sharing and absorption, Absorbing beneficial achievements from other cultures will not only enrich the development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, but also contribute to the development of world culture, provide correct spiritual guidance for mankind, and contribute to the development of the common culture of mankind. Through the criticism and negation of the logic of capital, Marxism profoundly points out that contemporary Western culture has the nature of cultural expansion bound by the logic of capital, summarizes the law of the development of human society, with scientific nature, which also points out the direction of the development of human society in the future. In recent years, populist and conservative sentiments have been rising in the West. It is foreseeable that western cultural values under the nature of capital expansion are gradually facing collapse, and cultural and political crisis is bound to occur. After years of practice, it has been proved that nations bound by capital interests cannot have good motivation for sustainable development, nor will selfless people put forward sincere suggestions for the sustainable development of all mankind. However, under the guidance of Marxism, we do not selfishly claim Chinese wisdom and spirit as our own. Instead, we advocate spreading Chinese wisdom and Chinese spirit to the outside world and contributing China's unique ideas to the world. The most prominent ideological contribution in recent years is the "community with a shared future for mankind" proposed by China. At the same time, under the guidance of marxism, Chinese cultural respect the diversity of world civilization, foster self-confidence is the response of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is an important step in the world cultural development request, only do the country's cultural self-confidence, to contribute more to the world cultural diversity, put forward the proposal to the world culture development, To chart the course for the development of human civilization. New form of civilization. 5. Conclusion For a country or a nation to develop, grow and prosper, it first needs confidence in its culture. We have confidence in the fine traditional Chinese culture, the political system the Chinese people have chosen, and the bright future of the Chinese nation. Only in this way can people have the enthusiasm to fight for the Chinese dream. On May 31, 2021, When presiding over the 30th group study session of the Political Bureau of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is an important task to strengthen China's international communication capacity to tell China's stories well, spread China's voice well, and present a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China. [9] As the ruling party of China, the Communist Party of China is proving the importance of cultural confidence with practical actions. Under the guidance of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, China has made remarkable achievements, and is increasingly approaching the center of the world stage. China has more say in the world, and people's needs for a better life are increasingly satisfied. China uses facts to prove the correctness of culture and the importance of maintaining cultural confidence. And the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics must stick to the leadership of the communist party of China, guard good ideological front, both carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture, and constantly blaze new trails, the tenet open communication, constantly spread the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a confident nation, a country with abundant cultural soft power. The path of cultural confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics must adhere to the guidance of Marxism and the leading position of the CPC. The Chinese nation is by no means a weak country with a weak culture. It is a splendid civilization with a long history of 5,000 years. Since the birth of the communist party of China, the communist party of China insists on the guide of marxism BCP Social Sciences & Humanities ERSS 2021 Volume 14 (2021) 274 to explore out a path which accord with Chinese characteristics, in this way, the communist party of China constantly struggle practice, not only struck down the invaders, change the situation procession of humiliation oppression, welcomed the bright future of the new China, persist in and inherited the marxism, It has enriched and developed Marxism with Chinese characteristics in the light of the development and reform of new China, deeply imprinted marxism with Chinese characteristics and provided reference for the development of Marxism in other countries in the world. Practice has proved that the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the right one, the right one chosen by the Chinese people under historical conditions, and a great achievement achieved by the Chinese people through arduous efforts. It is a strong cornerstone for China to build a brand of cultural confidence. Therefore, on this road, the COMMUNIST Party of China must strengthen its faith, combine its 70 years of experience in ruling and rejuvenating the country, actively inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, bring forth the new under the conditions of The Times, and keep an open mind while adhering to the national culture.
