How to promote China's traditional culture, take the essence and remove the dross?

Personally, I believe that to recognize traditional culture in a scientific way, we must have self-esteem, self-improvement spirit, but also have a sober, scientific attitude. We must be responsible for our own history, have a sense of self-love and self-reliance, and dare to affirm and promote all that is good and beautiful in our own tradition; and we must be responsible for our own future, have a spirit of self-criticism and self-transcendence, and dare to negate and discard all that is backward and ugly in our own tradition. This is true for the past, as well as for the present and the future.

The key and core of "taking the essence and removing the dross" and "carrying forward the fine traditions of Chinese culture" is based on the self-knowledge and self-development of contemporary Chinese people. Contemporary Chinese people are the carrier and main body of all Chinese traditional culture, and the critical inheritance of traditional culture cannot be separated from the self-transformation of Chinese people.

Only by recognizing their own position and mission, and at the same time soberly understanding their own strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, and in the future development of self-improvement, to avoid weaknesses and build on their strengths and weaknesses, to move forward, is the real "carry forward", in order to fully embrace the modernization of traditional culture. Therefore, how the contemporary Chinese people to improve self-knowledge, self-development, is the key to all the problems, but also the most important and most difficult link.

The question of how to "take the essence and remove the dross" of traditional culture is not essentially a question of how to deal with external ready-made objects, but a question of how to deal with our own history, present situation and future destiny. We come from history, so we can never detach ourselves from our own traditions; we go to the future, so we should never stay in the past traditions. To recognize traditional culture in a scientific way, we must have a spirit of self-respect and self-improvement, as well as a sober and scientific attitude. We must be responsible for our own history, have a sense of self-love and self-reliance, and dare to affirm and promote all that is good and beautiful in our own traditions; and we must be responsible for our own future, have a spirit of self-criticism and self-transcendence, and dare to negate and discard all that is backward in our own traditions. This is true for the past, as well as for the present and the future.
