Criticism and inheritance

History shows that how to correctly handle the relationship between reflecting the spirit of the times and maintaining national characteristics is a very important issue in the process of realizing the modern transformation of China's traditional culture. Among them, how to understand and grasp the national characteristics is particularly critical for the modern transformation of China's traditional culture. At the same time, the historical process of cultural conflict and integration between China and the West in modern China also shows that we should not only critically inherit the traditional culture of China, but also comprehensively innovate. Only in this way can we find a way to make the Chinese nation among the advanced nations in the world.

The so-called traditional culture (in a narrow sense) refers to the sum of all spiritual and psychological things created by the whole human being and embodied in ideology, mainly including philosophy, ethics, politics, law, religion, art and so on. As we know, a nation's cultural tradition is the spiritual continuation of a nation, and it is the spiritual driving force for the continuation of a nation's development. In the long river of history, every nation is always associated with its excellent and splendid cultural traditions. The reason why the Chinese nation can come down in one continuous line for thousands of years is closely related to China's excellent cultural traditions. For a long period of time, the theory of/western culture center was in full swing, and some people thought that western culture was superior to other nations in the world. This view is wrong and does not conform to historical facts. The Chinese nation has a long and splendid cultural tradition, which needs us to sum up, inherit and carry forward seriously today. Of course, we should also oppose the view that/Oriental culture is superior to zero or/Huaxia cultural center is zero. We should adopt a correct attitude, absorb the advantages of Chinese and Western cultures and carry forward the essence of China traditional culture.
