Abstract: The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation takes the development of Chinese culture as a foundation. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which means a culture of the new era will inevitably emerge. Self-confidence culture in the new era thus comes into being with the theoretical guidance of scientific and cultural thoughts, the historical foundation of profound cultural accumulation and the practical logic of unique cultural road. Constructing a self-confidence culture in the new era with Xi Jinping's cultural thought as guidance meets the practical need for building up China’s cultural strength and cultural confidence, and also provides the spiritual support for the Party to lead the Chinese people to gather wisdom, consensus and strength. On the future journey, we must drive China towards a leading country in socialist culture in an all-round way guided by Xi Jinping’s cultural thought, and build a new era of self-confidence culture with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese contribution with the theoretical tolerance and practical wisdom of historical consciousness, realistic innovation, and advanced nature of the times.

Key words: Xi Jinping’s cultural thought, a leading country in socialist culture, the new era, confidence culture, cultural subjectivity
