China Traditional Culture: Composition

"Look at astronomy to observe time-varying; Look at humanity and turn it into the world ",which is the definition of culture in The Doctrine of the Mean. Although there are differences between Chinese and western cultures, this attribute of culture is immutable and universally applicable.

Culture is different from civilization, a word difference, but a far cry from it. In my humble opinion, "culture" focuses on the sociality of culture, which will inevitably be mentioned. In a word, man is the master, and all social activities must be put into practice by people who can think independently. In other words, human activities are not just survival, but life. Survival is based on material existence, but life is a relatively high realm, which is developed on the basis of survival.

Life exists around us, and everyone is the director of life. So, what is life like?

When you were born, your mother was lying in bed looking at your fat body and immersed in the joy of your father holding you and laughing; When babbling, mom and dad hold your hand on the left, and one shakes your chubby hand on the right to teach you to walk; When you are chewing, dancing and naive, your mother is urging you to read more books and won't let you play with your partner for a while. Grandma touches your head, hugs you to your lap and puts in a good word for you. Grandpa takes the opportunity to say a few words to let you play more ... When you are dying, you really don't want to leave this world, your relatives and your side.

It is not nonsense to say so much. The reason why I say so much and say so carefully is because my original intention is to let everyone's life emerge in front of him after he has read it himself. It's not that harsh I asked you how to make you feel moved, and then I knew what I really wanted. It's natural now, just the east wind.

From Socrates to Plato, to Aristotle, from Laozi and Zhuangzi to Confucius and Mencius, from the ideal country to the world of Datong, the combination of Chinese and Western cultures shines everywhere. But compared with Chinese civilization, it has its own unique cultural charm.

Whether in the East or in the West, there is no doubt about inheriting human development. However, due to "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Confucian orthodoxy ruled China for more than 2,000 years, so that in the period of modern new culture movement, the understanding of it fell into an extreme, that is, absolute negation, what overthrew Kongjiadian, opposed old literature and feudal culture.
