Random thoughts 35: national quintessence, unique to one country

Thirty-five Random Thoughts This is an article about the survival of Chinese quintessence. The national quintessence here is not the Peking Opera we are thinking of now, and I don't know why. When I see the word quintessence of Chinese culture, I think of Beijing opera. Obviously, other attributes, such as the five elements, such as the Chinese zodiac and the twenty-four solar terms, can be counted as national quintessence.

Regarding the concept of national quintessence, even the author explains here: What is "national quintessence"? Literally, it must be something unique to one country and lacking in other countries. In other words, it is something special. But it's not necessarily good. Why keep it?

Some are national quintessence, and some are necessary to get rid of its dross and take its essence. What is applicable to that era and social atmosphere may not be applicable to this era and social atmosphere. If they are all indiscriminate and blindly believe that the ancestral system has remained, it must be preserved. Just like Marshal Tian Peng, he was obviously reincarnated as a human being, but he was put into a pigsty and lived like a pig.

On the question of how to preserve the national quintessence, the author finally answered with the words of a friend: I have a friend who said it well: "To preserve the national quintessence, we must also preserve the national quintessence."

Preserving us is indeed the first meaning. Just ask him if he has preserved our strength and national quintessence.

Some people say that if the national quintessence can't even afford to be passed on, it can only be put in a museum. A stunt, if no one inherits it, is really a "stunt"

Therefore, this is why we should vigorously promote cultural export. Because we have to support the inheritors. Why feed the inheritors? Because you have to pass on your skills. Why pass on skills? Because this is a unique national quintessence of a country.

Just like the giant panda, it is unique in China, so it has not only become a key protected object, but also made people all over the world know, like and compete for rent.
