How to treat China traditional culture correctly?

To treat China's traditional culture correctly, the most fundamental thing is to realize that there are many things worth promoting in China's traditional culture, but there are also some things that are not suitable for the times and need to be abandoned. To put it simply, treating traditional culture is to take its essence and discard its dross, which is helpful to carry forward the positive energy of the times and enhance the social atmosphere.

For example, Twenty-four Filial Pieties, which describes many stories about filial piety in ancient times, is a well-known classic in China, but some of them may be very touching in ancient times, but they are not worth learning and imitating in today's society. We should study selectively, and don't blindly accept all the stories, because some stories are absurd and unrealistic, which doesn't help us, so there is no need to study.

For great thinkers like Confucius, Laozi and Wang Yangming, we can carefully study their works, stories, ways of treating people and learn their thoughts. Confucius told us that "teaching makes no difference", no matter what students are, they have the right to learn, and learning is no longer the right of the rich. Laozi said that "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything", which profoundly revealed the causes of everything in the world. Wang Yangming founded Yangming's mind, and the Japanese rose by learning Yangming's mind.

By learning these ideas, we can improve ourselves, establish correct values, learn to be a man, and finally realize our ideals in life. The country vigorously promotes these excellent traditional cultures, which is also conducive to improving the basic quality of the people, enhancing the comprehensive strength of the country, and even realizing the cultural export of China.
