In the book, they emphasize the significance of traditional cultures’ “this sideness" and the importance of Confucianism, stating that the practicality and focus on reality of traditional culture with Confucianism at its core are the driving force and foundation of Chinese-style modernization. They believe that the "Doctrine of the Mean" serves as a connection point between tradition and modernity, overcoming the biases of the concept of modernization with a balanced attitude.

Wang Xuedian notes that Chinese-style modernization requires the reconstruction of values and the pursuit of order, with Confucianism as the best resource. Wang Meng underscores the importance of Chinese-style modernization in earnestly inheriting and innovating the excellent traditional culture of China, preserving its soul to meet the challenges of modernity and globalization.

Throughout history, dialogue has played a crucial role, such as the conversations between Confucius and Laozi, and the dialogues recorded in Plato's book The Republic between Socrates and others, laying the foundation for eastern and western philosophy respectively.

Now, Wang Meng and Wang Xuedian deeply interpret the relationship between traditional culture and Chinese-style modernization through dialogue, presenting a rigorous yet witty discourse that is easily comprehensible. Modernization and globalization are challenges faced by all humanity, and the dialogue between tradition and modernity contains infinite power.
