The Basic Spirit of China Culture

The basic spirit includes vigorous and promising, self-improvement, people-oriented, harmony between man and nature, and the spirit of rule by courtesy.

First, vigorous and promising, constantly striving for self-improvement: China's traditional culture has been permeated with a series of complementary categories of opposites, such as rigidity, movement, promising and inaction, and has a profound dialectical spirit.

Second, the spirit of humanism: Humanism, as one of the basic spirits of China traditional culture, is different from the western classical spirit of taking God as the foundation, and also from the individual freedom and democratic values pursued by the western modern society.

Thirdly, the harmony between man and nature: the harmony between man and nature is an important idea put forward in the development of China's traditional culture. This thought holds that the development of nature and human development are interactive, and people should adjust and standardize their words and deeds according to the changes in nature.

Fourth, the spirit of rule by courtesy: China traditional culture not only carries out the humanistic spirit, but also permeates a spirit of rule by courtesy. As a social ideal, the spirit of rule by courtesy is essentially the emphasis and persistence of social order.
