How to treat China's traditional culture and foreign culture?

Protecting traditional culture, absorbing foreign culture and building China characteristics China is one of the ancient civilizations in the world and has a long history of cultural exchanges with foreign countries. According to historical records, China's foreign cultural exchanges have a history of more than 2,000 years. From the Silk Road opened in the Qin and Han Dynasties to the trip to South Asia in the Jin Dynasty, from Xuanzang's voyage to Zheng He's voyage in the Ming Dynasty, in the historical development of the Chinese nation, many people with lofty ideals, eminent monks, great scholars, businessmen and businessmen took pains to travel long distances and shed sweat and blood on the road of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, leaving many touching historical stories and making outstanding contributions to the civilization of the Chinese nation and the development of world culture. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has experienced * * and reform. In these 50 years, China's foreign propaganda and exchanges have also flourished with the Republic of China. However, in today's reform and opening-up, foreign cultures are flooding every corner of China, which has a noticeable influence on teenagers in the new period. Facing the traditional culture with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, it should go deep into everyone's bone marrow. However, how to deal with the influence of two completely different cultures has been puzzling our younger generation. A survey shows that at present, among the foreign cultures that young people are exposed to, western culture, mainly American culture, occupies a dominant position. Whether it's movies or music, American pop culture products have a penetrating power on China youth that other cultures can't match. The time when the wind of foreign culture blows into China is much shorter than the formation history of local traditional culture. However, it can have a considerable number of favored people in a relatively short time, and even challenge the local traditional culture. The reason why foreign fashion culture can get the support of many young people is not because of its rich or far-reaching connotation, but because of its efforts and breakthroughs in propaganda, packaging, momentum and other aspects, and its distinctive image has won the preference of young people, which is precisely ignored by traditional culture itself. China's traditional culture is proud of its profound content, but it ignores the external packaging and other necessary propaganda means, resulting in the inferior status quo in form. A very simple example, in recent years, foreigners' Valentine's Day has become more and more popular among young people and college students in large and medium-sized cities in China. Why do we young people celebrate Valentine's Day? Is it purely to pursue the romance of a festival, or to identify with its cultural connotation? Traditional Chinese Valentine's Day also represents love. Why is it unpopular? How to carry forward national culture and actively explore the cultural connotation of traditional festivals? In fact, there have been "Tanabata", but there are fewer people. As far as these two festivals are concerned, they are really interesting. Everyone knows the ins and outs of Tanabata, but not much about Valentine's Day. Anyone who knows about Tanabata knows that this festival is not romantic, but it also has sentimental feelings, but it's okay. What is important is that whenever there is a festival, there must always be some ceremonies and symbols, but there is no "Qixi". In addition, CCTV host Rui Chenggang called Starbucks' entry into the Forbidden City a waste of China's traditional culture, and called for Starbucks to be driven out of the Forbidden City, believing that it "destroyed the' sanctity' of the Forbidden City". A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and for a time, the supporters are surging, and the opponents are one after another, which has the potential to break all traps. Opponents believe that Starbucks' presence in the Forbidden City is an erosion of China's traditional culture. In the corner of an antique hall in the Forbidden City, Starbucks, a famous coffee shop, has been here for six years. Starbucks is the representative symbol of American consumerism, which is more associated with petty bourgeoisie and fashion. Can it be in harmony with the morning bell and the desolate and majestic Forbidden City? Under the background of globalization, Chinese and western cultures will inevitably cross each other, and confrontation and conflict will easily occur between foreign consumer culture and local cultural heritage. Starbucks and the Forbidden City, so directly "made a fire". Starbucks has been in the Forbidden City for six years. During these six years, people have become accustomed to its existence, although it is always incompatible with the grandeur of the Forbidden City. In response to this matter, the global president of Starbucks made the following answer: Six years ago, at the invitation of the Palace Museum, Starbucks opened a branch in the Palace Museum. We opened this branch with respect and high sensitivity to the culture and historical traditions of the Forbidden City. We have always expressed and will continue to express our respect for local history, culture and social customs. We have also made serious efforts to adapt this store to the environment of the Forbidden City. Professor Sun, a scholar in China, believes that when the Forbidden City lost its imperial power, this space became a symbol of traditional culture internally, synonymous with China externally, and the most China symbol in contemporary times. Starbucks coffee shop is a foreign consumer culture, and its appearance in the Forbidden City is no longer a commercial problem, in fact, it declares that the global consumer culture has encroached on China's traditional cultural space. Every culture has its own advantages. Today, with various cultural trends, pure culture should become the main body of China culture, and "Starbucks in the Forbidden City" has violated the main body of China culture. However, I have different views and many feelings when I see this situation. I think both China people and foreigners who love the Forbidden City certainly want to see a "harmonious, beautiful and complete Forbidden City, whether visually or audibly, rather than a place distorted by billboards or shops." These simple facts show to a great extent that the inheritance and return of culture is the result of the comprehensive action of all aspects of society. Although our traditional culture has a long history, China people do not publicize it enough and lack the spirit of innovation. In the face of globalization, the inheritance and return of culture mainly depends on our young people. We should deeply understand the profoundness and profound historical background of China culture, the legend, origin and long history of China festivals. I think we will fall in love with the ancient China culture and find a harmonious way to combine with western culture. We should inherit local elements, innovate constantly and create cultural products with national characteristics and a sense of the times. At the same time, it is more in line with the fashion trend to properly absorb the essence of foreign art and integrate the strengths of China and the West; Strive for the maximum cooperation of the media and strengthen the promotion of local traditional culture. Finally, we should pay attention to the protection of local traditional culture and establish a strong cultural export mechanism. However, we don't have to care about what is tradition and what is fashion. You should know that today's tradition is also the fashion of the past. Today, this is a multicultural society. As long as it is beneficial, it can be traditional or modern, both at home and abroad. The purpose of doing this is still the same, all to build our country and enrich our culture. Comrade * * once said, "Make the past serve the present and foreign things serve China." Therefore, we can't generalize contemporary western thoughts, but must distinguish and choose them. While absorbing excellent and beneficial cultural achievements, we must resolutely abandon decadent and harmful cultural garbage and resist the erosion of various decadent ideas and cultures. Under the impact of complex multi-culture, we learn to examine and distinguish clearly, learn to take the essence of each family, enrich our minds and experiences, and find the correct coordinates of life.
