How to inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation

(1) Set a lofty ideal and strive to realize it. China culture places special emphasis on ideals and realms, that is, ideals. Confucianism has designed the ideal of "harmony between man and nature", "inner sage and outer king" and "the world is public" for the Chinese nation. Taoism has designed such ideals as "Taoism is natural", "small country with few people" and "no monarch". Mohism put forward the idea of "love all but not attack". After Qin and Han Dynasties, people with lofty ideals in China, in the process of striving for the independence and prosperity of the Chinese nation, either interpreted these ideals with the spirit of the times or put forward new ones. (2) Strengthen self-cultivation and carry forward the virtues of being strict with yourself and being lenient with others. Paying attention to personal cultivation is a remarkable feature of China culture. The important difference between China culture and western culture lies in its self-discipline and self-discipline. Confucius advocated: "A gentleman seeks for himself, while a villain seeks for others." This means that cultivated people are always strict with themselves, while uncultured people are very demanding of others. Therefore, he also warned people: "Bowing is self-respect, but lightly blaming twenty people is far from complaining!" "Bowing to yourself" means doing more self-criticism and "lightly blaming others". That is, criticizing others less, making more self-criticism and blaming others less can reduce opposition and complaints. (3) Emphasis on caring for the interests of the country and others and putting the interests of the people first. Confucius' benevolence, loyalty and forgiveness, and Mohism's universal love and not attacking are all based on caring for and caring for the interests of others. According to the principle of "loyalty and forgiveness", it is advocated that "people want to stand and succeed" and "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you". This is kindness to others, that is, the spirit of "group harmony". Fan Zhongyan, an enlightened politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, summed up Mencius' people-oriented thought as a famous saying: "Worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world." Traditional virtues handed down for hundreds of years inspire enlightened politicians to care about the interests of the people. (4) Adhere to the enterprising spirit of forgetting to eat and sleep, and striving for self-improvement. China culture has always been people-oriented, emphasizing people's initiative in nature and their subjective initiative. Biography of Zhouyi Gan Gua? Xiang said: "Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement. "This shows that heaven is vigorous and powerful, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. (V) Carrying forward the virtues of being rich and unyielding "being rich and unyielding and unyielding" has always been regarded as the noble quality and traditional virtue of people with lofty ideals and ideals who adhere to justice, truth, ideals and beliefs. This virtue inspired many Chinese sons and daughters to create an epic great cause, and also wrote a new moving movement in the history of Chinese culture. (6) Carrying forward the virtue of respecting teachers and valuing morality is the fundamental spirit of Chinese culture and the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Some people call China culture "filial piety culture", which makes sense. Of course, we should also analyze and identify the filial piety advocated by the feudal ruling class. However, the basic idea of filial piety is an ethical norm accumulated by adjusting and harmonizing family relations for thousands of years, which has become a traditional virtue recognized by the Chinese nation throughout the ages and should still be inherited and carried forward today. Respecting teachers and stressing morality is another important traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. In ancient China, "heaven, earth, monarch, family and teacher" always stood side by side, which not only reflected the characteristics of China culture, but also explained the tradition of "respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism".
