The development of social consciousness has historical inheritance. The social consciousness of any era is related to the social consciousness of the previous era. Its emergence and development should be based on the ideological materials accumulated by predecessors and inherit the ideological achievements of predecessors. In the development of social consciousness, the formation and development of new social consciousness is not a total denial of the old social consciousness, but both overcoming and retaining its outdated things and retaining its reasonable factors.

The historical inheritance of social consciousness reflects the sequential relationship of social consciousness, which shows that the generation of each social consciousness is based on the previous social consciousness.

Taking science as an example, Newton said, "I see farther than others because I stand on the shoulders of giants"; Taking culture as an example, we should inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

That's basically what it means. Personal opinion, for reference.
