文化认同是维护国家安全的最深厚战略资源，对于增进国民的文化心理归属感，保障国家的存续和发展，亦即提升总体国家安全水平具有极其重要的作用。中华优秀传统文化是文化认同的根基，在维护总体国家安全中发挥着重要作用。价值观是文化的核心。中华优秀传统文化的力量，归根结底来自于凝结其中的中华优秀传统价值观的吸引力和凝聚力。中华优秀传统价值观，在维护意识形态安全、促进各民族团结、增强文化软实力等方面发挥重要，从而在维护国家安全中扮演重要角色。然而，自近代以来，传统价值观认同受到来自现代性与“他者”入侵等多方面的严峻挑战，这对我国的文化安全和国家安全造成了严重挑战。因此，必须采取多种措施，重塑中华优秀传统价值观认同，以价值观自信增进文化自信，提高我国的文化安全与总体国家安全水平。传统文化认同并不仅仅建立在宏大抽象的价值理念之上，更存在于人们生动具体的生活实践中，各种各样的文化符号为文化认同提供了更为具体、参与度更高的载体。文化符号是文化的外显，是文化较为浅表的组成部分。传统文化符号通过不断地编码解码展示着中华传统文化的丰富内涵和底蕴，形塑人们的文化认同感与国家认同感，从而对文化安全和国家安全发挥重要作用。现阶段我国传统文化符号面临来自现代性、外来文化符号等多方面的认同挑战。因此，必须采取多种措施对传统文化符号进行传承与重构，充分挖掘文化符号“能指”背后的“所指”意蕴，充分发挥其在提高我国文化软实力与总体国家安全中的重要作用。中华优秀传统文化不仅以价值观的形式内化于心，以文化符号的形式外显于形，更以文化记忆的方式代代传承，构建起人们的历史连续感。文化记忆，是数千年来中华优秀传统文化得以传承与延续的重要途径，也是使个人与群体确立起身份认同与文化认同的重要途径。卷帙浩繁的史书典籍、代代演练的仪式、存续至今的历史遗迹等都对文化记忆的保存发挥了重要作用。当前，创伤记忆的阴影、传统仪式的消解、历史遗迹的消失等，使传统文化记忆传承面临巨大挑战。必须采取多种措施，传承中华民族共同的文化记忆，增强全体中国人民共属一体的归属感与认同感，以此提高我国的文化安全与国家安全水平。教育事关国家发展与民族未来，事关文化安全与国家安全。任何时代，教育都在民族文化的传承与传播中发挥着最为基础性和先导性的作用。当下，我国传统文化教育面临教材建设亟需加强、教育教学方式需要规范和更新等问题，这影响了传统文化教育功能的发挥。必须切实加强中华优秀传统文化教育，特别是增强青少年对中华优秀传统文化的认同感和自豪感，使中华优秀传统文化在代代传承中不断发扬光大，在激荡的世界文化竞争中永葆民族本色，进而提高我国的文化软实力和综合国力，维护文化安全与国家安全。

The excellent traditional Chinese values play an important role in maintaining ideological security, promoting unity among all ethnic groups, and enhancing cultural soft power, and thus play an important role in maintaining national security. However, since modern times, traditional values identification has been severely challenged by modernity and "other" invasions, which has caused serious challenges to China's cultural security and national security. Therefore, we must take a variety of measures to reshape China's excellent traditional values, enhance cultural self-confidence with self-confidence in values, and improve China's cultural security and overall national security.

The vast volumes of historical books, ceremonies of drills from generation to generation, and historical relics that have survived to date all play an important role in the preservation of cultural memory. At present, problems such as the shadow of traumatic memory, the dissolution of traditional rituals, and the disappearance of historical relics make the inheritance of traditional cultural memories face great challenges. We must take a variety of measures to inherit the common cultural memory of the Chinese nation and enhance the sense of belonging and identity that all Chinese people belong to in order to improve our country ’s cultural and national security. Education is related to national development and national future, and is related to cultural security and national security.
