Reflection and Construction of the Discourse System With Chinese Characteristics in the New Era
Abstract
Developing a discourse system grounded in China’s practices, developmental trajectory, and historical experiences constitutes a critical task for advancing socialist culture in the new era. This undertaking requires problem-focused methodologies that scientifically examine and appropriately reconcile discursive relationships across three key dimensions: tradition versus modernity, Chinese versus Western paradigms, and state versus societal frameworks. Historically, the evolution of this discourse system has progressed through three distinct phases: radical democratic-political discourse, economic rationalist discourse, and contemporary humanistic-legal discourse. Guided by the integrated principles of heritage-national character, originality-epochal relevance, and systematic-disciplinary rigor, the construction necessitates comprehensive conceptualization and implementation strategies.
