Abstract:

The creative transformation of traditional Chinese ecological culture is the convergence and integration of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture and Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization under the methodology of the “Second Integration”, and also lays the cultural foundation for constructing an independent knowledge system of China’s ecological civilization. Starting from the inherent compatibility between Marxism and traditional ecological culture in the outlook on nature, dialectical thinking and value orientation, this paper responds to the theoretical issue of the feasibility of the “Second Integration” in the ecological field. Under the methodological guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, this paper holds that the “soul vein” of Marxism activates the traditional “root vein” to endow it with scientificity and modernity, while the traditional “root vein” nourishes Marxism to endow it with nationality and cultural attributes, thus solving the practical issue of realizing the “Second Integration”. The organic integration of the “soul vein” and the “root vein” gives birth to Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization as a new cultural life form, which is not only the latest achievement of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, but also a model of the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, answering the question of what achievements the “Second Integration” has made.

Key words: the“Second Integration”, Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, creative transformation, traditional Chinese ecological culture
