Therefore, in the pre-Qin period, harmonious culture came into being and developed. In a word, the so-called harmony is harmony, tranquility and harmony; Combination refers to combination, integration and cooperation. As far as harmony is concerned, it refers to unifying different things into an interdependent whole on the premise of acknowledging the contradictions and differences of "different" things. In the process of harmony of different things, it absorbs the advantages of each thing and overcomes its shortcomings, so as to achieve the best combination, thus promoting the emergence of new things and promoting the development of things.

Under the guidance of this harmonious spirit, China's culture is constantly innovating, and it also promotes the continuous development of China's society. Thus, harmonious culture does not deny contradictions, differences and necessary struggles, but the unity of opposites, and only limits contradictions, differences and struggles within the scope of interdependence and mutual integration, so as to prevent the foundation of coexistence of different things from being destroyed by excessive contradictions and struggles and make the development of things stagnate.

This shows that a harmonious culture has two basic elements. One is the objective understanding of differences, such as yin and yang, heaven and man, men and women, father and son, up and down, etc. They are different from each other; The second is to organically integrate different things, such as harmony between yin and yang, harmony between man and nature, harmony between five religions, harmony between five elements and so on.
