What is the need for the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture?

When it comes to the question of the attitude of inheriting and promoting traditional culture, a basic theoretical premise is that the respective connotations of "traditional culture" and "excellent traditional culture" must be clarified.

National culture is the unique identity of a nation that distinguishes it from other nations. Chinese culture has a long history and has accumulated the deepest spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, representing the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to earnestly draw on the ideological essence and moral essence of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, strengthen the excavation and elaboration of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and make the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation compatible with contemporary culture and harmonized with modern society. In the exposition, both the uniqueness of Chinese culture and the excavation of its excellence and the drawing of its essence are emphasized. By uniqueness, we mean that Chinese culture is a self-contained system that speaks to the objective fact that it is different from heterogeneous cultures; by excellence, we mean that the unique traditional Chinese culture contains the best and most recognizable parts, which is the inherent foundation of our cultural and value confidence. These assertions clarify the different connotations of "traditional culture" and "excellent traditional culture", and imply the basic attitude of inheriting and promoting traditional culture.

Chinese culture has been handed down from generation to generation over the course of 5,000 years of history, and its cultural traditions have never been interrupted. Like the culture of any other nation in the world, the tradition of Chinese culture is not a thousand years old, but has always been in a process of endless growth, newness and change. The material and spiritual heritage of the Chinese people, such as language and writing, customs and rituals, ways of thinking, ethics and religion, aesthetic tastes, literature and art, artifacts and institutions, etc., which have been created and handed down over the years, are all what we call traditional culture.

See, traditional culture is an extremely broad concept. There are both the essence and the dregs of its content; there are both epochal and class aspects, as well as transcendent and civilizational ****ing aspects. What we mean by inheritance and promotion is naturally the unique and excellent part of traditional culture, the ideological and moral essence of good traditional culture, not the dregs which have lost their rationality and run counter to the spirit of the times. The object of inheritance and promotion can only be "excellent traditional culture" and "traditional virtues", which is a self-evident logical premise when discussing the attitude towards traditional culture.
