The demise of China's traditional culture

The disappearance of culture does not lie in the denial of it by human beings or the innovation and development in their own way, but in the fact that culture is useless in daily life and eroded by the cultural attributes of other foreign cultures. Over time, excellent traditional culture not only diluted the work and rest of human beings, but also affected the normal life of the descendants of the Chinese nation, leading to the disappearance and extinction of culture.

Indeed, a large part of culture naturally sank to the bottom in the long river of history, faded out of people's sight in obscurity, and can no longer be traced back (these cultures can not be said to be dross, and some cultures are the essence of the times). However, in fact, the traditional culture that can really continue to this day will definitely be much more than what we know, think and learn. Moreover, these cultures have penetrated into human daily life. These cultures are "tied" together with people's education (cultivation), personality and character, and they are a kind of interdependence between you and me. However, it should be said that culture is essentially different from it, and the people who create culture are absolutely subjective about culture; Other people who enjoy culture, learn culture and inherit culture are objective. As an objective person of culture, one of the biggest characteristics is that he has an independent perspective on a certain culture (the perspective is a variable), which can even change with the changes of social trends. For example, in a certain era, a certain culture can be learned and passed down by people in a good social atmosphere, but in the following years, some cultures that must be passed down from the most important position because of changes in social atmosphere, educational methods and folk customs, so as to find or modify what was first passed down in a certain era, so that teenagers or young adults of that era can pass it on. However, the culture that has been inherited for a long time was immediately defeated by new things, and even completely withdrew from the list of inheritance, crying in a corner (these "cultures" did not fully understand their own inheritance significance, but the old people must not accept these "cultures". After all, they are completely out of line with the age they live in, and they can't even find a shadow. How to understand or accept them? )。 Moreover, as an objective person, it is more dangerous than a subjective person, and it is more susceptible to the interference and influence of cultures with different cultural attributes. When the cultural connotation is really expressed by itself, it may be completely different from the result you want to express (influenced by the expression of foreign culture), or the performance in a complete sense is not the same as the culture you have learned, enjoyed and passed down. If this culture is passed on to future generations, it will not only benefit them, but also make jokes, just like an old messaging game (messaging game: consisting of two or more queues, each team sends one person to the referee's office to receive the messaging content, and then conveys it to the first person in a voice that the second person in the team can't hear, and so on, which word said by the last person in the team is closest to the messaging content obtained by the first person. However, there must be all kinds of laughter)

Looking back on today's society, we must first determine the material and spiritual orientation of society; The inheritance essence and connotation of post-overhead culture (making it irrelevant to today's social life, that is, culture is useless in people's daily life); Then it was eroded by the cultural attributes and essence of foreign cultures, making China's traditional culture "four unlike"; Finally, let the descendants of the Chinese nation feel more and more unfamiliar with the culture handed down by their ancestors, and even if they have doubts, they don't know how to ask questions; In the end, the excellent traditional culture that will accompany us all our lives will die out in the hands of our younger generation. This can be said to be the imminent crisis of China's cultural heritage. This crisis has separated us from the essence of culture, and at the same time, we have seen the inner fragility.
