Conflict between traditional culture and modern civilization? (Include conclusion)

Traditional culture is not just a few books, but a system of life values and morals formed by the development of feudal society over thousands of years, especially two thousand years.

The Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period were in the transition from slavery to feudalism, and the discourse of the sages was free and open. From the Han Dynasty onwards, the system was gradually formed to benefit the rule of the feudal dynasty. The imperial examination system became the core of the whole society.

Confucianism has also evolved from Confucius' original intention of restraining one's own morality (i.e., the human heart) as a poor and happy man like Yen Hui, to the idea that to be a government official is to be a man of peace, and to be a man of peace is to be a man of the middle way, and the Analects of Confucius has become a rite, a kind of constraint on behavior, and has even turned its back on the human heart and on human nature. The truth of the matter is that it is not a matter of the heart, it is a matter of the human nature. The training of the eight-legged essay has also gradually eliminated the innovative people in the blood.

In feudal society, this culture was good for social stability, but not for social development.

In industrial society, it is a kind of recognition of self-worth, is the pursuit of the spirit of freedom, the direction of development is no longer confined to ruling the country and the world, people began to have the ability to enjoy life (note that not luxury)

Since the May Fourth Movement, or earlier from the Hundred Days' Reform, has begun to draw on the external Western industrial civilization to think about the traditional culture, such as Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Li Dazhao, and so on.

This conflict came from the conflict between the culture of feudal society and the modern productive forces, which led to the formation of the modern culture, and can be recognized by the people to automatically implement the values of life and morality.

Western societies have gradually developed philosophical, humanistic, scientific, and artistic systems over the past 400 years, completing the transition from a traditional feudal and theocratic culture to a modern democratic and legalistic culture. China will also go through such a stage, and finally form a democratic and legal society, but China will develop its own outlook on life, values and morals. There is both heritage and development.
