Abstract:

Enriching people's spiritual world is an essential requirement of the Chinese path to modernization. It is a key characteristic of a modernization that achieves material abundance and spiritual wealth, profoundly reflects the ultimate value of human modernization, and serves as a strategic anchor for building a spiritual homeland where "the heart finds peace, there is home." Advancing the Chinese path to modernization requires adhering to the internal logic of the spiritual world while unifying material and spiritual aspects. This involves strengthening the ideological roots of the spiritual world through deep cultural identity and emotional schemas, and continuously establishing long-term mechanisms within social practices that consolidate the material foundation of the spiritual world. This provides an inexhaustible endogenous drive for achieving the comprehensive and free development of the individual.

Key words: Chinese path to modernization, spiritual world, material world, comprehensive and free development of the individual
