What is the traditional cultural background of China?

Background, I think the two are the most important. 1, agricultural civilization. All thoughts, philosophy, literature, politics, sociology and so on in traditional society are based on agricultural civilization. On this basis, it takes root and grows into a big tree. In turn, it feeds back agricultural civilization and provides theoretical and operational support for the management and operation of agricultural society. 2. Hierarchy. Except for the legendary Archean, when the world was public, the era of extinction. In China's credible 4,000-year history, from the Xia Dynasty, which was established in the 2nd/kloc-0th century BC, China society was essentially a hierarchical society with a complete and strict hierarchical system, regardless of the feudal Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties or the centralized system from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Similarly, traditional culture is also produced to maintain the continuity and stability of this system. Whether it's Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, Han Feizi, Cheng Er, Zhu, Wang Yangming or even Kang Youwei, although their views are different or even completely opposite, their purpose is the same, to stabilize the hierarchy and continue it from generation to generation. Different viewpoints come from their different methods of maintenance, and there is no difference in purpose. These two are big backgrounds. Let's take a look.
