China Traditional Culture and Moral Classics

(1① Inheritance is a necessary prerequisite for development, and development is an inevitable requirement of inheritance. In the process of inheritance and development, we constantly get rid of the outdated old culture and introduce a new culture that embodies the spirit of the times, that is, "bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new." The content of Tao Te Ching should also keep pace with the times and add new connotation of the times. ② Develop on the basis of inheritance and inherit in the process of development. We should critically inherit traditional culture and "take its essence and discard its dross". Tao Te Ching has both positive and negative aspects, and we should absorb its essence on the basis of criticism.

(2)① In the process of social development, if traditional culture can adapt to the changes of social life and keep pace with the times, it will play a positive role in the development of society and people. The concept of harmonious society not only embodies the traditional "harmony" culture, but also is endowed with new connotation of the times. Therefore, this strategy of governing the country will certainly promote the great development of society. ② A harmonious socialist society is not a "harmony" based on the strict hierarchy of Confucianism, but a new "harmony" based on equality and commitment to prosperity. The concept of harmonious society embodies the correct attitude of China leaders to inherit traditional culture and give full play to its positive role. They should "take its essence and discard its dross" and critically inherit it. We should continue to maintain and carry forward the positive and progressive contents of traditional culture that meet the requirements of social development.
