Abstract:

The “Two Integrations” deeply fortify the root and soul of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Against the intertwined backdrop of the theoretical and practical logics of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation， the “new cultural lifeform” upholds a grand historical perspective， grasping historical inevitability within the framework of the “Two Integrations，” highlighting the development themes amid the “Two Overall Situations”， and addressing contemporary challenges in the contest between “the past and the present，” and “the old and the new.” This cultural form embodies three core attributes： the structural integrity forged through the tension between continuity and innovation， the heterogeneity in national development reflected through a multi-dimensional and integrated pattern， and the people-centric axiology reinforced through conscious inheritance and self-directed revolution. Its significance in world history manifests in three dimensions： advancing the diverse development of world civilizations， building an open platform for mutual learning among civilizations， and initiating a new form of human civilization. Through the lens of a grand historical view， it becomes evident that the “new cultural lifeform” not only positions Chinese civilization within a framework of cultural subjectivity but also contributes a Chinese solution to the process of human modernization through the innovation of civilizational forms.

Key words: culture, grand historical view, cultural lifeform, Chinese modernization
