Why inherit traditional culture

The charm of culture never comes from blood, class, religion, region and time, but from people's pursuit of universal values. Looking up to the sky, we seek the best, so we love all, but not attack; down-to-earth, we search for the truth, so we are virtuous, but not destined to be. The generosity of the heart manifests the most beautiful, so the importance of faith and righteousness.

Promoting traditional culture, cultivating civilization, promoting quality education, and building a harmonious society!

Pan Shouyu, a master of national education, said: a good teacher, can make his students change temperament. And there is a person, there is a book, can make a nation change temperament, this person is Confucius, this book is the "Analects", this nation is the Chinese nation, this temperament is "refined" gentleman temperament. Hundreds of years of strange a few sheets of paper, a thousand heroes a cellar of dust. The only thing that has been taught is the Confucius religion, and it is still a good thing that it has been taught to the people.

History is the best filter, it tells us what is the essence. 1988, some Nobel Prize winners gathered in Paris, had issued such a voice: mankind to survive in the 21st century, we must go from 2,500 years ago Confucianism to seek wisdom. The words of Confucius, "Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you", are inscribed at the United Nations Headquarters. At an important international conference, an official of our country referred to Confucius as "Kung Lao Er", and when the Korean officials heard this, they all stood up and retreated! The Korean students burst into tears when they realized that Confucius was not Korean! Expatriates of South Korea's Samsung Group must memorize the Analects of Confucius; South Korea made the 24 Filial Piety into a TV series to be shown every day ...... The stone of other mountains can attack jade. Excellent traditional culture for us is not dirt that should be washed off our bodies, but blood that flows in our veins.

In fact, the value of the sages lies in the fact that a thousand years ago, their valuable life experience can travel through the vicissitudes of life to today, so that we still feel warm! And they smiled mutely a thousand years ago, watching us still gain from just the talk of the talk!

The wisdom of the ancients is very difficult for modern people to surpass, for example, we are studying philosophy, we are China, ah, there are many philosophy departments, there are many philosophers, but which philosopher can write a book, such as Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching as long as the inheritance of the language, but also be translated into the language and writing of many countries, for the modern philosophers, thinkers to study. There are so many departments of history in China, and so many historians, and who can write a book, such as Sima Qian's "The Records of the Grand Historian", which is known as a masterpiece of the historians, the unrhymed "Li Sao". China has so many military scientists, there are so many military academies, and who can write a book, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", is still being used as a textbook by West Point, so we just skimmed over a few examples, and that tells us that, in fact, the wisdom of the Chinese ancients, we can't say that there is no way to surpass the descendants, but it is really

difficult for the descendants to surpass. Where is the reason for this? It is because of the Analects, Confucius said such a sentence, he said "to do a good job, must first sharpen their tools", what does it mean, for example, our craftsmen, in order to do a good job on the table, you must first make your tools sharp, the same reason, we people, in order to recognize the objective things, in order to recognize clearly, we must first of all put our heart clear and quiet.

We have seen a famous contemporary Japanese thinker, Daisaku Ikeda, who, in a conversation with Mr. Toynbee, a renowned British philosopher of history, said that what is generally regarded as a symbol of backwardness and such a country is in fact the secret of the most advanced thing of the age. But precisely because it is hidden, many people fail to recognize it and often criticize it. This is one of the major reasons for the decline of traditional culture.
