Looking at the road at the foot of China today from the long-standing historical continuity: the excellent continuity of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must go its own way.

2. Innovation and innovation

The Chinese nation is an innovative nation. On science and technology, the Chinese nation is "superior to nature, superior to nature". From the Han Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, China's science and technology has been in an advanced position in the world and made great contributions to human civilization.

The glory of Qin and Han Dynasties, the weather of Tang Dynasty and the prosperous times of Kang and Gan are all the history created jointly by all ethnic groups. The strength of the ship is in the sail, and the strength of the people is in the heart. In the deep blending, you have me and I have you, "hugging together like pomegranate seeds."

4. Inclusiveness

Looking outward, four great inventions of ancient china has made an indelible and outstanding contribution to the dissemination and exchange of world scientific and cultural achievements.
