Act with a stronger sense of purpose and mission to contribute to a culture that serves the people and socialism. Respond to the call to let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and press ahead with the creative transformation and development of our fine traditional culture, upholding socialism with Chinese characteristics, rallying public support, fostering a new generation with sound values and ethics, and building a better national image. Take on the great responsibility of nourishing the roots and forging the soul of our nation, and accomplish new feats in your literary and artistic creations based on our fine cultural traditions. To this end, you should yourselves meet higher standards of virtue and moral integrity through self-cultivation. We expect you to produce more edifying works to encourage the people to improve themselves and embrace higher virtues and ethics, so as to create new prospects for Chinese literature and art, and add new luster to Chinese culture. This will provide a powerful force to guide values, strengthen cultural cohesion, and motivate the people to contribute to the achievement of the Second Centenary Goal and the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation."
如何翻译“厚德载物”?
【补充】出自《周易·彖上》。意思是以宽厚的德性承载天下万物。古人认为，大地的形势和特质是宽厚和顺的，它承载万物，使万物各遂其生。君子取法于“地”，要像大地一样，以博大宽厚的道德容纳万物和他人。这包含了对自身道德修养及人与自然、社会和谐一体的追求。这是中国人参照大地山川状貌和特质树立的治国理政和为人处世的理念和理想。它和“自强不息”一起构成了中华民族精神的基本品格。

to embrace higher virtues and ethics
a person of great virtue can shoulder great responsibilitiesa person of great virtue can shoulder great responsibilities; great virtue promotes growth中华优秀传统文化理念在解决当下全球挑战中彰显着显著的时代价值。从“和衷共济”的责任担当到“兼容并蓄”的大国胸怀，从“以和为贵”的处世哲学到“讲信修睦”的交往准则，中国近年来提出推动构建人类命运共同体，以及四大全球倡议和共建“一带一路”倡议，正是这些理念的生动体现，高度契合全人类共同价值，得到国际社会普遍认可和广泛支持。
Fine traditional Chinese cultures are relevant in addressing current global challenges. In recent years, China has proposed the philosophy of building a community with a shared future for humanity, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, the Global Governance Initiative, and the Belt and Road Initiative. These visions vividly demonstrate how China, a peace-loving major country, stands up to its responsibility by embracing solidarity and inclusiveness and honors commitment and promotes amity in interactions with other countries. They also dovetail with humanity’s common values and are recognized and supported by the international community.
如何翻译“讲信修睦”?
【补充】出自《礼记·礼运》。意思是崇尚诚信，谋求和睦。它是战国至秦汉之际儒家学派所描述的“大同”社会的重要特征之一。儒家认为最理想的社会应当是，天下是天下人的天下，人与人之间、国与国之间应彼此信任合作，和睦相处。后“讲信修睦”不仅成为儒家所提倡的一种伦理规范，而且成为中国文化中处理人际关系和国家关系的一个重要准则。

Trust is the very foundation of both interpersonal and state-to-state relations. China is committed to forging a relationship with the ASEAN countries featuring sincerity, friendship, and enhanced mutual political and strategic trust."to cement peaceful relations by upholding good faith / to have faith and promote good will / to keep good faith and promote amicable relations(4) 习近平在中国同中亚五国建交30周年视频峰会上的讲话（来源：英文巴士）“——30年来，我们顺应潮流、讲信修睦。在互谅互让基础上彻底解决历史遗留的边界问题，使3300多公里的共同边界成为友好、互信、合作的纽带。中国同中亚五国相继建立战略伙伴关系，深化政治互信、互利合作，走出了一条睦邻友好、合作共赢的新路，成为构建新型国际关系的典范。”— Over the past 30 years, we have followed the trend of the times, honored commitment and promoted amity. On the basis of mutual understanding and accommodation, we have completely resolved boundary issues left from history, turning the over 3,300 kilometers of shared borders into a bond of friendship, mutual trust and cooperation. We have established strategic partnerships, deepening political trust and mutually beneficial cooperation, blazing a new trail of good-neighborly friendship and win-win cooperation, and setting a good example of fostering a new type of international relations.2014年9月24日，习近平在纪念孔子诞辰2565周年国际学术研讨会暨国际儒学联合会第五届会员大会开幕会上指出：“儒家思想和中国历史上存在的其他学说都坚持经世致用原则，注重发挥文以化人的教化功能，把对个人、社会的教化同对国家的治理结合起来，达到相辅相成、相互促进的目的。”

【补充】“经世致用”一词由明清之际思想家顾炎武、王夫之、黄宗羲、李颙等提出，指学术要对国家和社会的治理发挥实际效用。“经世”即治理国家和社会事务，“致用”即发挥实际效用。这一理念倡导学术研究要关注现实，通过解释古代典籍来阐发社会政治见解，解决社会实际问题，以增进国家治理能力，实现民生安定、社会改良。这一思想强调知识的政治价值和知识分子的现实担当，体现了中国传统知识分子讲求功效、务实的思想特点和“以天下为己任”的情怀。

Learning should contribute to good governance. Jingshi (经世) means governance of the country and society, and zhiyong (致用) refers to meeting practical needs. In the early 17th century, thinkers such as Gu Yanwu (1613-1682), Wang Fuzhi (1619-1692), Huang Zongxi (1610-1695), and Li Yong (yóng, 1627-1705) argued that scholarly studies should be geared to meet current needs. They held that while interpreting ancient classics, scholars should expound their views on the social and political issues of their day, solve practical problems, enhance governance of the country, improve people’s livelihood, and promote social reform. This view stressed the practical value of knowledge and the practical responsibilities of intellectuals. It reflects the pragmatic character of traditional Chinese intellectuals as well as their concern for the well-being of the people and eagerness to shoulder responsibility for the whole nation.2016年9月3日，习近平在二十国集团工商峰会开幕式上的主旨演讲中指出：“民惟邦本，本固邦宁。坚持以人民为中心，就要扎扎实实体现在经济社会发展各方面各环节。”

Because we are talking about a US$ 10 trillion economy, for which 7% growth actually generates more increase in volume than the double-digit growth in the past. And the 7% growth is in fact among the highest of the world’s major economies. What is more encouraging is that China’s economic structure is rapidly improving. Today, the services sector already accounts for half of China’s GDP, and consumption contributes 60% to growth. Growth in high-tech industries is notably higher than the entire industrial sector. Consumer demands for information, cultural, health and tourism products are booming. Energy conservation, environmental protection and the green economy are thriving. New economic growth areas are rapidly taking shape.
