Abstract The “newness” of the new form of human civilization is not only about being new in a temporal sense, but also about being new in terms of a fundamental transformation in its qualitative state. Only by understanding the emergence of the new form of human civilization through the lens of qualitative transformation in civilizational forms can we truly grasp its intrinsic characteristics and contemporary value. The transformation of the social formation is the decisive element in this qualitative transformation, wherein stage-specific and partial qualitative changes within the overall transformation of the social formation play a crucial role in creating the new civilizational model. The creation of this new model is closely linked to the national formation, where state power propels the “creative transformation and innovative development” of culture, providing essential support for the qualitative transformation of the civilizational form. This new form of civilization relies on paradigm shifts to transcend previous historical forms, including replacing mechanical materialism and idealist mysticism with praxis that unifies humanity, nature, and society, leading to a paradigm shift in the ontology of civilization; replacing the enslavement of humans by things with the objectification of essential human powers, leading to a paradigm shift in the axiology of civilization; replacing one-sided perspectives with a multi-dimensional and systemic approach to examining civilizational forms, leading to a paradigm shift in the epistemology of civilization; and replacing a “one-sided approach” with a “two-pronged approach” that dialectically handles relationships between the universal and the particular, inheritance and critique, and instrumental and value rationality, leading to a paradigm shift in the methodology of civilization. Creating this new form of human civilization requires the strong leadership of the Party and coordinated, sustained efforts from various forces. We must anchor the endeavor in Chinese modernization, using the development of new quality productive forces to drive high-quality economic development and consolidate the material foundation for this new model; address the historical debate on tradition versus modernity and Chinese versus Western culture as a starting point, employing systemic thinking to dialectically handle the relationships between past and present and between Chinese and Western elements to deepen the cultural foundation of the new model of human civilization; and profoundly grasp the contemporary relevance of the historical materialist view of the masses, recognizing the people as both the creators and beneficiaries of the new civilizational model, continuously galvanizing their initiative and enthusiasm in this creative process.
