Language is the carrier of civilization, and classics are the code of spirit. Not long ago, the Ministry of Education and seven other departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Inheritance and Development of Chinese Excellent Language and Culture and Improving the Language and Cultural Literacy of the Whole People", based on the deployment requirements of the "Outline of the Plan for Building an Education Strong Country (2024-2035)", drawing a roadmap for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent language and culture, and anchoring the mission coordinates of language and cultural work in the new era. From the basic establishment of the inheritance and development system and the mechanism for improving literacy by 2030, to the comprehensive enhancement of the ability to serve the construction of a strong country by 2035, this deployment not only responds to the question of cultural inheritance in the times, but also highlights the strategic consideration of language and culture empowering national rejuvenation. The excellent language and culture of China are the spiritual genes engraved in the national bloodline. From the code of civilization in oracle bone inscriptions to the expression of emotions in poetry and songs, from the interplay of various ethnic languages to the nostalgic memories in dialects and proverbs, language and culture not only carry the civilization wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, but also become an important link in building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation. Language is a tool for human communication of ideas, a carrier for inheriting civilization, and a bridge for enhancing understanding. As an important strategic resource of the country, the inheritance and development of language and culture have always resonated with national rejuvenation. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a series of language planning policies have been successively introduced to safeguard the healthy development of language and culture. However, it cannot be ignored that China has a large population and vast territory, and the systematic inheritance and comprehensive popularization of excellent Chinese language and culture still face challenges, requiring concerted efforts and long-term efforts. As the main battlefield for cultural inheritance and innovation, higher education should shoulder new missions and demonstrate new achievements in language and cultural inheritance. The language classics of the Chinese nation, washed away by the long river of history, embody the fundamental principles and exemplary laws and regulations, and are the core carrier of carrying the national spirit and inheriting the Chinese cultural context. Tradition continues endlessly due to classics, while classics are revitalized by the interpretation of the times. In the long history of the inheritance of Chinese language and culture, the tradition of respecting classics has maintained the exemplary significance of Confucian studies, and various new interpretations of classics have emerged in later generations; The study of annotations and commentaries has formed a unique academic method in China, and has also constructed a long and stable system for the inheritance of Chinese thought and culture. The traditional academic experience of China shows that to uphold the spirit of inheriting language and cultural classics, it is necessary to handle the dialectical relationship between "upholding integrity" and "innovation". At the same time, it is necessary to innovate and carry out excellent language and cultural education in China, cultivate cultural and moral talents, especially through careful reading of language classics and text analysis, systematically grasp the ideological essence and reading methods of classic literature, and explore the originality of its excellent traditional culture. At the same time, combining academic history, classic literature texts, etc., turn the cutting-edge achievements of ancient language and literature into educational resources, and achieve resonance between classic reading and value guidance. To inherit the excellent language and culture of China, the key is to implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and talents, and achieve the organic integration of cultural education and ability enhancement. Colleges and universities should focus on ancient and modern language classics, guide students to read and compare them, enhance their ability to read classics through speaking and interpreting texts, analyzing sentences and meanings, and closely integrate the cultivation of language and cultural literacy with the improvement of professional abilities, the shaping of professional ethics, and the cultivation of social adaptability. We should also strengthen digital empowerment, accelerate the digitization of language and cultural resources, the digital application of language and cultural achievements, and the intelligent empowerment of language and cultural inheritance, fully unleash the value of language and written data elements, and promote the two-way empowerment of language, culture, and technological innovation. At the same time, we should rely on platforms such as language and cultural resource investigation and protection projects, key scientific research bases, libraries and museums to create a number of education, teaching and practice bases, promote the inheritance of language and culture from campuses to radiate to society, guide the whole nation to establish a scientific concept of language and culture, master necessary knowledge and skills, cultivate good behavior habits, nurture healthy aesthetic trends, and integrate language classics into daily life and infiltrate people's hearts. Cultural prosperity leads to national prosperity, and a strong culture leads to a strong nation. The excellent language and culture of China is the fundamental project for safeguarding the roots of civilization and inheriting cultural genes. Its inheritance and development are not only related to the improvement of national literacy, but also to the construction of national cultural soft power and international discourse power. Standing at a new historical starting point, only by adhering to cultural confidence, deeply cultivating language classics, inheriting the essence while adhering to tradition, and revitalizing through innovation, can China's excellent language and culture become a powerful support for building an educational, cultural, and talent powerhouse, injecting inexhaustible cultural power into national rejuvenation, and showcasing China's charm and voice through cultural exchange and mutual learning.
