The influence of traditional Chinese culture on the rise and fall of the Chinese nation

Traditional Chinese culture is the cultural essence of each era through continuous precipitation, accumulation, and thus has an extremely far-reaching impact on the development of the economy.

Traditional Chinese culture and its influence on the economyIn the course of the historical development of human society in China, the cultural essence of each era has formed the cultural tradition of China through continuous precipitation and accumulation. China's traditional culture and its impact on economic development, mainly in:

I. Philosophy and cultural traditions on China's economic development Philosophy is a systematic theorization of the world view and methodology. Although the traditional Chinese philosophy constructed by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism has gone through several typical philosophical forms, such as the pre-Qin scholars, the Han dynasty scriptures, the Wei and Jin metaphysics, the Sui and Tang Buddhism, and the Song and Ming philosophies, the essence of which reflects the inheritance, which constitutes the Chinese philosophical tradition. A fundamental difference between Chinese culture and Western culture is that Chinese culture lies in seeking the good, while the West focuses on seeking the truth. Under the guidance of the philosophy of seeking goodness, Confucius and Mencius put forward the doctrine of "benevolent government" and the doctrine of "goodness of nature", which had an important influence on the philosophy and ruling class of later generations. On the basis of the pursuit of goodness, ancient and even present-day Chinese people emphasize the unity of heaven and man. The "heaven" here is fundamentally different from the "heaven" in the natural sense. The former is more concerned with emphasizing the moral attribute of perfection and its ontological relationship with the fundamental existence of human beings. It is somewhat similar to the "God" in Western culture, who can fertilize all things, justly reward and punish the earth, and the order of heaven is the highest basis for all moral and ceremonial laws in the world. The "sinful and heavenly, no prayers" ("Analects of Confucius - eight rows of dancers") and the Song and Ming philosophers put forward the cultivation rules of "living in respect," "establishing sincerity," "grasping material things to achieve knowledge," all of which are the principles of cultivation. "The laws of cultivation proposed by the Song and Ming philosophers reflect the communication, fusion and unification of human nature and the principles of heaven. In short, in the Chinese philosophical tradition are latent in such a logical process: the beginning of being a man, when the virtue-based, cultivation of the body and mind, in order to achieve the sages, once the way, that is, and the universe as one, on the Tao of Heaven, down to all the people. This belief is the core part of the ideal belief for the Chinese nation.

2. Taking morality as the root, emphasizing the middle ground of oligophobia. Another major feature of the Chinese philosophical tradition is that it has always focused on ethical concepts and moral cultivation. In ancient times, the Zhou Emperor put forward the concepts of "respect for virtue" and "protection of the people", and Mencius defined the essence of human nature in terms of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom", all of which emphasized the fundamental status of virtue. In choosing the way to realize this ideal, most Chinese tend to be less desirous and remove their desires. Confucius emphasized the principle of "to be benevolent by restoring one's self to propriety", Dong Zhongshu put forward the principle of "to regard friendship (righteousness) and not to seek profit, and to be clear about the way of life and not to count one's achievements", and in the Song Dynasty, those rationalists even put forward the moral law of "to preserve the reasoning of heaven and to extinguish the desires of mankind". In the Song Dynasty, those scholars of science even put forward the moral law of "keep the reason of heaven and destroy the desires of man". The value orientation of our philosophy of self-restraint and low desire to a large extent determines the character traits of the Chinese people: introverted, subtle, moderate and harmonious, focusing on balance.

3. In terms of human attitude, it emphasizes the complementarity between the worldly and the worldly. In the process of development of Chinese philosophy, two different value orientations have emerged -- worldly emergence and worldly initiation. The world mainly for the Buddhist and Taoist respected, emphasizing the cultivation of the heart; into the world is mainly for the Confucianism, emphasizing the "cultivation of the body, the family, the state, the world". The value orientations of the worldly and the worldly complement and integrate with each other, and have become the life choices of the majority of Chinese people. Traditional Chinese philosophical culture originates from the politics and economy of the society, and at the same time restricts the development of the economy through its influence on the economy, politics, and other economic and cultural forms. The most important of them is the subconscious psychology of the nation determined by the philosophical and cultural tradition, which acts as a chain in the indirect role of the philosophical and cultural tradition in economic development.

The influence of traditional culture on China's economic development economic culture is mainly people's economic value system and people's economic activities. In general, it can be divided into three levels: institutional economic culture, corporate or enterprise culture, and residential economic culture.
