The spiritual level of China's traditional culture.

China's national spirit can be roughly summarized into four interrelated aspects:

(1) rational spirit. It has a long tradition of atheism, fully affirms the unity of man and nature and individual and society, and advocates that the satisfaction of personal feelings and desires is consistent with the rational requirements of society. On the whole, denying the religious worship of supernatural God and savior and the existence of the other side of the world, vigorously advocating the harmonious unity between man and nature, individual and society, and opposing the split confrontation between them are the roots of the rational spirit of the Chinese nation.

(2) the spirit of freedom. This is first manifested in the people's spirit of resisting the rule of the exploiting classes. At the same time, in the struggle against foreign oppression, some classes, groups and figures in the ruling class also actively participated in this struggle. It shows that in the ideological and cultural tradition of the ruling class in China, there is also a positive side of "loving freedom".

(3) Realistic spirit. Confucianism in the pre-Qin dynasty advocated that "the known is known, and the unknown is unknown", knowing people and discussing the world opposed being born with knowledge; Legalists oppose "foresight", pay attention to "experience", emphasize implementation and praise merit; Taoism advocates "knowing people", "knowing friends" and "analyzing the principles of everything". These are the tables of seeking truth from facts.

(4) the spirit of strain. The basic spirit of China traditional culture can be summarized as "respecting ancestors, respecting human relations, respecting morality and saluting". In addition, China's traditional culture also has the viewpoint of development, self-improvement and tireless learning spirit.

The spirit of China's traditional culture is humanism. This humanism is manifested as follows: people are not isolated from interpersonal relationships, nor are they opposed to nature; Do not pursue a purely natural knowledge system; It is anti-utilitarian in axiology; Pay tribute to being a man. The humanistic spirit of China's traditional culture has added luster to our nation and country, but it has also set obstacles; It spread the light of wisdom to the world, but also caused various obstacles to Chinese and foreign exchanges; This is a huge spiritual wealth and a huge cultural burden.
