当年,毛泽东面对战争与革命的形势,提出民族的科学的大众的新民主主义文化,矛头直指帝国主义、封建主义文化,形成独具特色的革命文化;今天,胡锦涛依据和平、发展与合作的形势,提出建设社会主义和谐文化,引领和谐社会建设朝着正确的方向前进。两种文化形态都反映了当时的时代精神,只是面对不同的时代课题,毛泽东强调矛盾的斗争性,胡锦涛强调矛盾的同一性。胡锦涛提出的建设社会主义和谐文化思想,既是对毛泽东文化思想的继承,更是对它的超越和发展。 In the same year, facing the war and the revolutionary situation, Mao Zedong proposed a new democratic culture of a scientific, scientific and ethnical nationality, targeting the imperialist and feudal culture and forming a unique revolutionary culture. Today, Hu Jintao relies on peace, development and cooperation , Put forward the idea of ​​building a harmonious socialist culture and leading the building of a harmonious society in the right direction. Both of the two cultural patterns reflect the current spirit of the time, but confronted with different issues of the times. Mao Zedong emphasized the struggle of contradictions and Hu emphasized the identity of contradictions. The idea of ​​building a socialist harmonious culture proposed by Hu Jintao is both an inheritance of Mao Zedong’s cultural thought and a transcendence and development of Mao Zedong.
