What is the meaning of the phrase "the spirit of the Chinese nation is characterized by the inclusiveness of Chinese culture, which is capable of seeking common ground while reserving differences and embracing all things"? Traditionally, the spirit of the Chinese nation is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Legalism, but Confucianism dominates. Confucianism, also known as ritualism, regards the observance of the old ways and the preservation of tradition and orthodoxy as sacred and heavenly rules. It is not really possible to say that traditional Chinese culture has any characteristic inclusiveness. The reality is that ancient China and the civilized West were separated by mountains, deserts, snowy wastelands, primeval forests, and oceans, and basically had no contact with the more developed civilizations of the Western world, such as the Two Rivers Civilization, Egyptian Civilization, and Ancient Greek Civilization, etc., and so China has always regarded itself as a celestial dynasty, and thought that the Chinese civilization is the highest civilization in the center of the world; in fact, some of those civilizations that are located in the West are thousands of years older than China, and some are more advanced than China, and some are more advanced than China, and some are more advanced than China. In fact, some of the world civilizations located in the West are thousands of years older than China, and some of them have a higher civilization than China, only that China doesn't know it. China's traditional culture and national spirit began to take shape during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and although it later absorbed Buddhist ideas from India, nothing actually changed. China is surrounded by nomads have no culture, even if the destruction of China, governance of China, can only learn Chinese culture, so that they assimilate, become a member of the Chinese nation; this is probably the history textbooks say that the Chinese culture unique inclusiveness, to be able to do to seek common ground while reserving differences and eclecticism, right.

Chinese culture began to come into contact with Western capitalist civilization in the Ming Dynasty, when the Portuguese came to Macao and Western missionaries followed, but the Chinese people still insisted that everything they had was good and better than anyone else. it was only when the guns of the Opium War rang out in 1840 that the Chinese people were forced to open their eyes and discover that there was a civilization in the world that was superior to the traditional Chinese one, but the Chinese rulers still refused to admit that they could not accept it. But the Chinese rulers still refused to recognize it; the Sino-Japanese War fiasco was not enough, and it was only after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing that the Chinese began to put their heads down and learn from the West with an open mind. Today China's reform and opening up, learning from the developed West, reflects the inclusiveness of today's Chinese culture; but it is hard to say that this is the spirit of the Chinese nation, because the Chinese were forced to have to do so.
