The criteria of excellent culture include

Before determining the excellence of a certain culture, there must be two premises to be clear: First, we have to follow the scale of facts, first of all, we have to figure out how this culture in the end, how to generate and develop. Secondly, we also need to value the scale, know how a certain culture is, but also its value judgment.

For example, in the recent heated debate over traditional martial arts, have viewers figured out the function of traditional martial arts? Do you understand the evolution of the function of traditional martial arts with the development of history? Does it make sense to discuss a historical issue based on martial arts novels and TV shows?

So, for traditional culture, getting the facts right is the first thing to do, and value judgment should follow.

So how do we determine whether a certain culture is an excellent traditional culture, worthy of our inheritance and development? In other words, what are the criteria for an excellent traditional culture and what kind of characteristics does it have?

First of all, the most important criterion is to see whether it conforms to, and can promote, the ****same values of mankind.

The ****same values of humankind are the foundational moral values on which the destiny of humankind as a whole ****same ****sense is based, and they are the values that govern the interrelationships of nations, regions and civilizations. Our President once said in the United Nations General Assembly that peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom are the common values of all humankind. In fact, the bottom line of the ****same values of mankind can be expanded, such as respect for human life, respect for human nature and so on.

According to this standard, is thick black science, which teaches "fraud", a good traditional culture? The "female moral" education that discriminates against women is not a good traditional culture? Is teaching loyalty and filial piety a good traditional culture? None of them are. All backward values and forms of organization, ideologies and cultures that promote superstition, and techniques and methods that endanger the human body cannot be regarded as good traditional culture.

Secondly, to determine whether a culture is an excellent traditional culture, it is important to look at whether it has a positive and active significance for the present generation.

Culture is the sum of human creations, which can be divided into material culture, institutional culture and spiritual culture. Spiritual culture contains traditional Chinese core values, such as the human ethics of love and tolerance, the sense of responsibility of dedication and commitment, the open-minded and optimistic attitude toward life, and the concept of governance of the people as the basis of the state, etc. These core values have transcended the times and have been recognized by the Chinese people. These core values have the characteristics of transcending times and regions, and have direct guiding significance to the construction of culture and social spiritual civilization, which should be inherited by us, and undoubtedly, this is the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

More importantly, these traditional core values constitute the cultural genes of Chinese culture, and are the fundamental characteristics that make China what it is.

The traditional core values have strengthened the cultural identity, centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese people, and are the source of our nation's unceasing creativity; whenever the Chinese nation is faced with a major turnaround, this cultural force has always been the spiritual and ideological impetus for the development of civilization.

In addition, the traditional Chinese concept of core values emphasizes the moral value of human beings, whereas in modern society, capital and technology have strengthened the instrumental rationality of human society; human beings have become tools to be dominated, and their lives have become a monolithic and materialistic life. To evoke a moral life, to make society more pluralistic, to make human beings respected, and to make human beings an end rather than a tool should be the goal pursued by human society.

Also, some of the principles of governance in traditional culture, such as the people's principle, *** governance, and judo, can be indicators to lead the construction of our present political civilization and to modernize governance.

Thirdly, to determine whether a certain culture is an excellent traditional culture, we have to see whether it can promote the vitality and vigor of modern society.

This criterion can be said to be an introductory one, which is a refinement of the second criterion, especially emphasizing the role of folk culture in contemporary society.

The reason for singling it out is that the social foundations of these folk cultures and skills are disappearing due to, among other things, social development, and thus the content of these cultures has to become more and more "endangered". These spontaneous, lively folk culture and skills, such as festivals, folklore, food, literature, music, architecture, etc., can enrich our contemporary social life, enrich our appreciation, aesthetic content, and promote cultural diversity, so that modern society is more full of vitality and vigor.
