The more melodramatic way of speaking (taking traditional Chinese culture as an example)--

What is traditional Chinese culture again? As its name suggests, traditional Chinese culture is the general term for the spiritual phenomena created by the Chinese nation over thousands of years, and it contains an extremely rich content, which, in terms of its most important elements, can be summarized in three features:

1. Ethics and self-improvement are revered.

Throughout traditional Chinese culture, the idea of ethics runs through. Praising the good and depreciating the bad, pursuing lofty ideological virtues, aspiring to an ideal moral character, and cultivating beautiful spiritual sentiments is a dominant idea of traditional Chinese culture, which is consistently pursued by most thinkers. In the relationship between people, a person should not only have the creative spirit of self-improvement and enterprising, but also have the broad-mindedness of putting oneself in others' shoes and loving others as oneself. Only when one is "in harmony with heaven and earth" can one be considered a person of high moral character.

The so-called self-improvement is a kind of perseverance in traditional Chinese culture, which is hardworking, tireless, persevering and indomitable. The ancient Chinese revered the story of Jingwei filling the sea, Yugong Yishan and Kuafu chasing the sun is a vivid embodiment of this spirit. The spirit of self-improvement can be said to be the backbone of the Chinese nation, and it is an important spiritual pillar that has enabled the Chinese nation to continue to develop and grow for thousands of years. Countless people of benevolence and heroes and heroes who have gone to the front and back, heroic and unyielding, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to defend the territory of the country, to safeguard the dignity of the country, is inseparable from this kind of spirit of self-improvement.

2. Emphasizing the importance of reason and wisdom, the pursuit of truth and discursive thinking, there is a strong tradition of contemplation and debate.

Chinese pre-Qin Confucianism, Mozi, Taoism, and Law, several of the most famous schools of thought, all attach great importance to reason and wisdom, emphasizing the importance of people's understanding of the truth, and Taoism, led by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, attaches particular importance to discursive thinking. In Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's view, all things have their opposites, all things are interconnected, all things are developing and changing, all things are capable of transforming into each other, all things are both absolute and relative, there is a relative in the absolute, and there is an absolute in the relative, and the natural world and the human society are regarded as a unified whole, and they seek to observe and analyze these phenomena from the relative independence and interconnectedness of the whole. analyze these phenomena from the relative independence and interconnectedness of the whole. The University says: "In ancient times, those who wished to pacify the world first ruled their country; those who wished to rule their country first united their families; those who wished to unite their families first cultivated their bodies; those who wished to cultivate their bodies first rectified their minds; those who wished to rectify their minds first honored their intentions; and those who wished to rectify their intentions first attained their knowledge. Knowledge and then sincere intention, sincere intention and then the heart is correct, the heart is correct and then body repair, body repair and then Qi family, family Qi and then the country rule, the country rule and then the world." This passage is a more comprehensive, complete and systematic expression of Confucianism's view of the fundamental meaning and purpose of life, that people should perfect society on the basis of perfecting themselves, while at the same time perfecting themselves in the process of perfecting society, which is never-ending.

3. Unique aesthetic sense and humanistic spirit

Traditional Chinese culture has made brilliant achievements in all aspects of literature and art, and is one of the most important and valuable treasures in the culture of all mankind. Chinese people have always liked to express their thoughts and feelings in the form of poetry, the origin of which can be traced back to the era of Emperor Shun before the Book of Poetry, and this tradition has lasted for thousands of years throughout China's history: the Book of Poetry, with its characteristic wisdom of scourging social evils and aspiring for a better life, scrutinizes the thoughts and feelings of people in different situations; the Book of Chorus, especially the famous compositions of the book, such as the Li Sao, is the most important and valuable treasure in the patriotism of the Chinese nation. Chusi, especially its famous pieces such as Li Sao, is the ancient song of Chinese patriotism, which expresses the spirit of tenacious struggle to care for the people, love the motherland, pursue the ideals and transform the reality. Since then, there have been several climaxes in the development of literature and art, such as Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuanqu and Ming novels, which have created a colorful, brilliant and permanent charm of literature and art, and in its unique way, inculcated and nurtured the unique humanistic qualities and national spirit of the Chinese nation.

Three, traditional culture and cultivate high-quality talents

From the basic characteristics of Chinese traditional culture, Chinese traditional culture to cultivate and improve the human ideological, aesthetic, cultural and moral quality, has an extremely important significance. 21st century is an era in all aspects are bound to occur in the era of fierce competition, if you can not be in the fierce competition to get the development, may be eliminated. Competition is multifaceted, there are economic competition, scientific and technological competition, management competition, talent competition, etc., of which the most important is the competition for talent. And in the competition of talents, the quality of thought and moral quality occupies a particularly important position. Chinese traditional culture in the worship of morality, pay attention to wisdom, emphasize cultural and artistic cultivation, pay attention to the cultivation of humanistic qualities and other ideas, is conducive to the improvement of the quality of human thought in the new era, should be seriously to carry forward.

Four, traditional culture and moral education and socialist moral construction

China's traditional moral norms, both today and in the future are of high value. With the development of market economy, not only in our country, but also in countries all over the world, the problem of the decline of the moral quality of human beings has appeared, which is the result of the negative impact of the market economy. The market economy has liberated people's initiative and enthusiasm and greatly contributed to the increase of wealth, but at the same time, it has given full play to people's egoism and greedy desires, thus giving rise to violent conflicts over traditional morality and a worldwide decline in moral standards. Therefore, in the construction of morality, the promotion of excellent traditional morality, suppressing the expansion of human egoism and greed to achieve self-restraint and benefit others, is a problem to be solved.

To establish morality compatible with the socialist market economy, it is absolutely impossible to be detached from the cultural traditions of one's own people. Any culture is inherited and innovative at the same time. The unity of ethnicity and contemporaneity is the universal law of the development of all national cultures. With the development of the socialist market economy, the construction of our national morality must be innovative and development on the basis of inheritance, to start from the practical, emancipate the mind, to educate people with practical and effective good moral norms, starting from dolls, and constantly educate the outlook on life, moral values, and cultivate high-quality talents suitable for the needs of the 21st century.
