1 China culture can be divided into three types: 1. Male chauvinism II. Agricultural culture. Blood culture.

These three cultures constitute the mainstream of China's traditional culture, and with the development of history, their mutual penetration is getting closer and closer. For example, in a big family in feudal society, blood relationship is very important, with special emphasis on the hierarchical gap between generations and status, so family rules are highly valued, and even more cohesive and authoritative than some national systems to a certain extent. In Lu Xun's novels, we can often see the influence of patriarchal culture on feudal rule and people's thoughts; China is still a big agricultural country since ancient times. It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the economic form dominated by agriculture will inevitably produce the corresponding cultural system.

Confucian culture, represented by the Four Books and Five Classics, has influenced people's thoughts for thousands of years. Therefore, I think the most important feature of China culture is Confucian culture: it emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world, and realizes the perfect unity of people's inner cultivation and the external management of the country. The essence of Confucian culture is peace, integrity and innocence!

Secondly, farming culture, family culture and some regional cultures are interrelated and infiltrated with each other, and gradually formed the rich and colorful connotation of Chinese traditional culture in the long historical evolution.

The twenty-four solar terms are divided according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic (that is, the orbit of the earth around the sun). Depending on the sun starting from the vernal equinox (longitude zero, at this moment the sun shines vertically on the equator), every advance of 15 degrees is a solar term; After a week's operation, I returned to the vernal equinox, which is a tropical year with 360 degrees, so it is divided into 24 solar terms. The dates of solar terms are relatively fixed in the solar calendar. For example, beginning of spring in the solar calendar always falls between February 3rd and 5th. However, in the lunar calendar, the date of solar terms is not easy to determine. Take beginning of spring as an example. It can be the first day of the lunar calendar in the previous year, 65438+February 15, and the latest is the first month, 15. The current lunar calendar is neither a lunar calendar nor a solar calendar, but a combination of lunar and solar calendars. There is a leap month in the lunar calendar. If one year is counted from the first day of the first month to the New Year's Eve of the twelfth month, the number of days in the lunar calendar varies greatly (leap year is 13 months). In order to standardize the number of years, the first day of the Lunar New Year (heavenly stems and earthly branches) is not the first day of the first month, but beginning of spring. In other words, a year in the lunar calendar is the day before from beginning of spring in that year to beginning of spring in the following year. For example, 2008 is the fifth year of the lunar calendar. The first day of Wuzi began not on February 7, 2008 (the first day of the first lunar month), but on February 4, 2008 in Gregorian calendar.

Of course it is valuable. Twenty-four solar terms are the original cultural heritage of the working people in China. They can reflect the changes of seasons, guide agricultural activities, and affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of families. Since 2000, the main political activity center in China has been concentrated in the Yellow River Basin, and the 24 solar terms have been established on the basis of the climate and phenology in this area.

I agree.

Because, the earliest Great Wall was a fortification that connected the defense walls of the six countries in order to resist the invasion of northern minorities after Qin destroyed the six countries. Now the Great Wall is the product of the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty, which is more symbolic.

On the other hand, Dujiangyan was an extremely successful water conservancy project during the Warring States Period. Li Bing and his sons and thousands of working people in Qian Qian used their extraordinary wisdom to build buildings for irrigation, flood control and sand discharge. It has benefited the surrounding people for more than 2,000 years. From the perspective of systematics, it is still of great practical significance. This is a very classic example of systematics.
