Does foreign culture do more good than harm or more harm than good to Chinese culture Why

The advantages of foreign culture to Chinese culture are more than the disadvantages.

1. Chinese culture should not exclude other cultures, but should remove the dregs and take the essence, so that foreign cultures serve the traditional Chinese culture. For example, many Western festivals, Thanksgiving Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc., the reason why students accept, is that they can complement or strengthen many of our original holiday to give us the joy and satisfaction. In today's world, where material and spiritual values are equally emphasized, the impact of foreign cultures may be complementing traditional culture.

2, China has been affected by many foreign cultures since ancient times, unlike other ancient civilizations, China has always Chinese foreign culture, whether it is Zen Buddhism, White Lotus Buddhism Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Western sects, or philosophical ideas, including Marxism-Leninism to have Chinese characteristics, rather than the original foreign culture. Since Lin Zexu and other open eyes to the world, since the translation of Western scientific works, Western scientific culture on China's inherent (Confucian) culture has a great impact on China's development towards wealth and power played a positive role.

3. The transformation of social habits by foreign cultures is limited to the level of "development", i.e., the influence on the basis of the national culture, which, no matter how great the influence is, cannot be separated from the national thought of the national culture itself. This is also the theoretical basis for China's attitude of "no wholesale westernization" in the face of Western cultural invasion. The third characteristic is extensibility, which is actually a combination of the first two characteristics. The idea of foreign culture can be widely spread among the public, but also subject to the constraints and transformation of national culture, which determines that it has a certain degree of ductility.
