Introduce some philosophical thoughts and spiritual temperament in China traditional culture.

The philosophy in China's traditional culture is the highest and most perfect philosophy in human history, the highest truth of human beings, and the culture that explains the universe, life, society and everything in the universe. Especially Buddhism, which was later introduced into China, revealed the essence of the universe, man and human society, pointed out what the universe is, how it formed, developed, matured and died, and pointed out the destination of the universe. It points out the essence of people, how people are formed, where people come from, where they go, and how people should live. This is the most successful place of China culture. Fortunately, China culture is characterized by modernization. This modern culture is guided by the thoughts of China's sages and Buddhists, and combined with the continuous discoveries in the progress of human society, including those in modern science, thus making the traditional culture of China more perfect.

China culture is a multi-level culture. It believes that the universe starts from nothing, nothing is zero, and one can be born. This is "existence", also known as "Tao gives birth to one". Among them, "nothing" belongs to yin and "being" belongs to yang, which is a very advanced opposition between yin and yang. "Out of nothing comes something", that is, "Infinity gives birth to Tai Chi", and Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, which is the relationship of unity of opposites. However, in a sense, the universe is divided, from Taiji to sixty-four hexagrams, and then infinitely divided into multiple levels. This is the division and expansion of the universe. In fact, the division and expansion of the universe is the process of the development and growth of the universe itself, and of course there are other meanings, such as the meaning of circulation.

Taiji is the opposite relationship between Yin and Yang, the necessary condition for the existence of things, and the most highly abstract development and change of things on a certain level. Yin and Yang include Tao and apparatus, form and reason, time and space, gods and things, inside and outside, up and down, heaven and earth, people and ghosts and gods, etc ..... all belong to the category of Yin and Yang. "Opposing existence" or "symmetrical existence" is only the most abstract and universal law of the development and change of things. If we divide it further, we will have the changing law of the five elements. Although it does not belong to the category of the law of the unity of opposites in the change of Yin and Yang, it is not a simple law of the unity of opposites that can be explained casually. European philosophy only knows the unity of opposites and contradictory relations of things, but it doesn't know that there are ten kinds of relations between things, such as harmony, mutual resistance and so on. The attributes of the ten relationships are complex, not necessarily good or bad. The key is to achieve balance and justice.

Philosophy is the program of all cultural thoughts, and it is like a guide. As long as there is no deviation, all human cultures will not deviate greatly. As long as it deviates, there is nothing in the whole cultural ideology that does not deviate. China's problem today is the deviation of philosophical thinking, that is, the deviation of Marxist philosophical thinking, so there is nothing at home and abroad in China that is unbiased. Truth is in the east, but the guide leads it to the west. No matter how excellent the quality of the people you follow, you can't find the truth. Guided by the philosophy of China's traditional culture, the Chinese nation will soon become strong, a world power in less than 20 years and a world power in 40 years. Many neighboring countries will voluntarily join the "Greater China Alliance", and I'm afraid they can't catch up. Philosophical thinking is wrong, and the country is poor. Naturally, some people have to leave, leave the country, and split up.
