The Influence of Western Culture on China Traditional Culture

This paper discusses the influence of western culture on China traditional culture, analyzes its influence and reasons, and discusses how to protect and inherit China traditional culture.

With the continuous development of globalization, the influence of western culture in China is increasing. Although these new things have brought us many benefits, they have also had a certain impact on the traditional culture of China. This influence is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the influence of values.

Western culture is very different from traditional culture in China. For example, in terms of values, the West pays attention to individualism and freedom, while China emphasizes collectivism and family values. With the gradual infiltration of western ideas into China society, this difference has gradually expanded. This is a great challenge for us to protect and inherit the traditional culture of China.

Second, the influence of lifestyle.

With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, people begin to pursue a more comfortable, convenient and fashionable lifestyle. However, in this pursuit, we also inevitably accept the influence of some western cultures. For example, western fast food culture and convenience store culture have penetrated into our daily life.

Third, the influence of language and writing.

With the popularity of English, more and more people in China began to learn English, which also led to a decline in the use of Chinese characters and Chinese. Although this is an inevitable trend, we still need to protect and inherit our own language and writing.

How to protect and inherit the traditional culture of China?

First of all, we need to strengthen the research and education of China's traditional culture. Only by deeply understanding the traditional culture of China can we better protect and inherit it.

Secondly, we need to actively promote the traditional culture of China. For example, in tourism, we can protect and repair some scenic spots related to China's traditional culture and introduce relevant historical and cultural knowledge to tourists.

Finally, we need to cultivate children's understanding of China's traditional culture in our daily life. This goal can be achieved through family education and school education.

In a word, it is very important to protect and inherit our own culture in the process of globalization. Although western culture has brought a certain impact on China's traditional culture, we should still stick to our own cultural characteristics and constantly promote the development and prosperity of China's traditional culture.
