Argumentative essay on traditional Chinese culture, 700-800 words

Traditional Chinese culture is a big topic that can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. What is culture? In the words of Dictionary, culture is the sum of spiritual and material wealth of the society; in the words of Yu Qiuyu, culture, an ecological ****similarity that contains spiritual values and life style. It can be seen that the extension of culture encompasses the whole society, and to talk about culture is actually to talk about the whole society. Therefore, to discuss traditional Chinese culture is to discuss the history of China over the past several thousand years. The history of the Chinese nation spans five thousand years up and down and eighty thousand miles across. Of course, this cannot be clearly explained in one or two sentences. However, we can discuss it from one side or another, such as the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture.

To borrow Yu Qiuyu's point of view, traditional Chinese culture should be an ecological ****similarity with the pursuit of love and kindness as the ultimate goal. The Three Character Classic opens with the words, "In the beginning of man, nature is good," which indicates that man is good by nature. Mencius speaks of the benevolent man who loves others. The Rules of Discipleship says, "Love all, but be kind. Liu Bei said, "Do not do evil and do not do good. These are all admonitions to pursue kindness and dedicate oneself to love. When modern society talks about being people-oriented, it is actually a return to human nature. The respect for human life in modern society is also a manifestation of a great love and kindness of human beings. Victor Hugo once said that kindness is the sun of the spiritual world. In this sense, love and kindness are again the **** same goal of human culture.

Yu Qiuyu said the three characteristics of Chinese culture, to summarize the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture is also applicable. These characteristics are manifested in the first Chinese traditional culture in the social model, the establishment of the "way of etiquette". The Chinese nation is known to the world as a state of etiquette. China's thousands of years to establish the order of elders and children, respect for the elderly and love for the young, out of the brotherly love, and so on, are for the establishment of a state of etiquette to make the theoretical exploration and behavioral norms.

Secondly, traditional Chinese culture has established the "Way of the Gentleman" in terms of personality patterns. The Chinese people have always emphasized the gentleman far from the small man, "three programs and five rules" the first program is the king for the program. Thus, people are required to be open and honest gentleman, not for the small man. And then set up a "cultivation, family, governance, and world peace" of the ambition.

Thirdly, traditional Chinese culture has established the "middle way" in terms of behavioral patterns. This is the difference between traditional Chinese culture and other national cultures, and is the fundamental reason why it has endured in the long history of the world.
