Is it a bad thing when traditional Chinese culture no longer appeals to this generation of young people? Or is it better to find ways to promote tradition? How does it work.

First of all, we have to figure out what traditional culture teaches. It is the teaching of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism as a whole, teaching cause and effect (Taoism), ethics (Confucianism), and morality (Shiism).

Cause and effect is the foundation of ethics and morality. If you don't believe in cause and effect, you will do whatever you want, not realizing that you should bear the consequences of what you have done, and not realizing that what you are doing now is the cause of what you will do in the future, and then when the cause is ripe and you have tasted the evil, you don't realize that you have not reflected on it, and instead you complain about the others. Cause and effect education is to teach the natural law of cause and effect, feeling and responding, so that people do not dare to do evil, to break the evil and do good, in order to comply with the laws of nature.

Ethics is the teaching of the five natural relationships between people and how to conduct oneself in these relationships, not to fall short of them and not to overdo them.

Ethics is to tell people about the deepest and truest laws of the universe, and to teach people what we are here to do in the world, where people come from, where they should go, what they should do in the world, and what they should do.

The purpose of all three of these teachings is the same, they are all different stages on a line, so why not learn them? The fact that our nation has used these three types of education to maintain a unified and integrated nation of all ethnic groups for thousands of years is a unique achievement in the world. After studying the history of the world, Dr. John Toynbee, a famous British historian, wrote a book called "The World in the 21st Century," which tells people all over the world that the only solutions to the problems of the 21st century are the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and Mahayana Buddhism. A foreigner, after a comprehensive understanding of our history and culture are still so worship, our self-confidence how not born up?
