There are various civilizations created by mankind which includes civilizations under different social forms such as slave society, feudal society, capitalist society, and socialist society; there are civilizations of different countries and nations. Human civilization develops and progresses in the advancement of history. The civilizations of different countries and nations are diversified, equal and inclusive. The socialist civilization with Chinese characteristics is a new form of human civilization created on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is socialist, and it is also of the Chinese nation. It is a unity of socialism and the Chinese civilization, and it is of a socialist nature and with distinctive Chinese characteristics. The creation of the socialist civilization with Chinese characteristics has developed socialism into a new form of civilization that exists in reality, and has enabled the Chinese civilization with a long history to enter a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and develop into a socialist Chinese civilization. This has an extremely important position in the history of socialist development and the history of the Chinese civilization, and will surely be included in the history of the development of the Chinese nation and the history of the development of human civilization. The focus of CPC’s rich experience in leading the people in creating new forms of human civilization is to persist in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific reality and with China’s excellent traditional culture.
