Abstract

The development and prosperity of Chinese culture is an essential part of the Chinese Dream whose basic connotation is that the country becomes prosperous and strong, the Chinese nation revives and the people enjoy happiness. The realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation is the result of balanced development and mutual promotion of material wellbeing and cultural-ethical standards. If civilization is not inherited and developed, and culture is not carried forward and does not thrive, the Chinese Dream cannot be realized.
