Cultural Confidence, Cultural Awareness and the Innovative Development of Culture
Cultural confidence itself is an inevitable requirement for the self‑development of culture. In cultural exchanges, cultural confidence refers to the conscious awareness of the development of one’s own culture, rather than cultural arrogance or cultural inferiority. Cultural awareness promotes the innovative development of culture on a practical basis, which serves as the fundamental source of cultural confidence.
