How to use dialectical thinking to recognize the concept of harmony as a value in traditional culture

The value of harmony and difference in traditional culture. The Chinese people have always respected the idea of "harmony is precious", advocating "harmony and difference", "seeking common ground while reserving differences", and advocating resolving conflicts and seeking harmony in a balanced way. "Harmony is the core concept of Chinese culture. When Confucius founded Confucianism, he attached great importance to the value and role of "harmony". He emphasized that "harmony is precious" and regarded "harmony" as the standard of value judgment for doing things and governing the country. He put forward: "Gentlemen are in harmony but not in agreement, while small people are in agreement but not in harmony". Confucius's idea of "harmony" also recognizes differences and demands harmony, so as to achieve the contradiction and unity of things and form a harmonious state by complementing each other. Lao Tzu said in Tao Te Ching: "All things are negative of yin and embrace yang, and they are in harmony with each other". He believed that everything contains two contradictory aspects of yin and yang, and that the interaction of yin and yang constitutes "harmony". The essence of "harmony" lies in the concordance and unity between different things. The basis of harmony is "difference", and this "difference" is diversity. It is only through the formation of "harmony" on the basis of "difference" that things can be developed, while the pursuit of "sameness" will not only fail to develop things, but will cause them to decay. "Harmony is the essence of all things in the universe and the basis for the survival of all things in heaven and earth. In dealing with other peoples and cultures, the Chinese people have always adhered to the principle of "Taoism and parallelism without contradiction", emphasizing peace***, cooperation and friendship. To fully understand the traditional Chinese culture of "noble and neutral" thought, for the survival and development of modern mankind has an important value significance.
