How to maintain excellent traditional cultural image

First of all, we should fully understand the scope of China traditional culture. China's traditional culture is a kind of national culture that reflects national characteristics and features, and it is the overall representative of various ideological cultures and ideologies in national history. It refers to the culture with distinctive national characteristics, long history, profound connotation and excellent traditions, which was created by the Chinese nation and its ancestors living in China and passed down from generation to generation. To put it simply, it is the general name of various national civilizations, customs and spirits expressed through different cultural forms. Its contents include: Confucianism, Taoism and other hundred schools of thought; Traditional literature, China drama, religious philosophy, folk arts and crafts, China martial arts, China architecture, traditional Chinese medicine, tea art, Hanfu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Chinese zodiac and so on.

Secondly, we should extract the essence of China traditional culture from all traditional cultures and carry it forward. The essence of traditional culture refers to the spiritual wealth passed down after thousands of years of tests, and it is necessary to enhance cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence is the recognition, affirmation and persistence of one's own cultural essence. When people are in the environment of contact, collision and confrontation between different cultures, they naturally need a kind of cultural identity to maintain their unified rational response. The essence of China traditional culture can be summarized from two aspects: scientific skills and ethical values. From the point of view of science and technology, the essence of traditional culture mainly includes diet culture, costume culture, garden architecture culture, arts and crafts culture, entertainment culture such as drama, dance and cross talk, sports culture such as martial arts fitness, astronomical calendar, inventions and theories of traditional Chinese medicine, etc. From the perspective of ethical value, the essence of China's traditional culture can be summarized as gentleman culture, Shang Xian culture, strategy culture, shame culture, etiquette culture, loyalty and filial piety culture, patriotism, humanitarianism, the golden mean, the unity of man and nature, harmony without difference and so on. Obviously, the essence of the second layer is what makes us most confident and proud. After thousands of years of deduction and sublation, it has been deeply integrated into the ideology and behavior norms of the Chinese nation, penetrated into all fields of spiritual life, and become a powerful force to standardize social development and dominate people's ideological behavior and daily life.

Third, we should dialectically understand the traditional culture of China. It is necessary to realize that some traditional cultures have their own characteristics of the times, branded with agricultural civilization and feudal system, and have certain historical limitations, which can not meet the realistic requirements of the current new era and the great cause of national rejuvenation in some aspects. For example, "honesty" plays an important role in China's traditional ethical system. However, as the mainstream culture of China for thousands of years, due to the limitation of historical conditions, some important components of Confucian ethics are rooted in the "vertical relationship" of inferiority, which is determined by the supremacy of feudal imperial power, bureaucratic power level and clan blood relationship. Trust the loyalty of the monarch; The second time I believed that my father was filial; Believe in husband and wife, brothers and sisters, and friends and relatives, for righteousness; What rules do strangers have to follow, but they are rarely involved. The almost blank credit structure, which is determined by "vertical relationship" and has a high degree of special trust and a low degree of universal trust, runs counter to the equality and consistency of "horizontal trust" required by modern credit concepts, and it is difficult to adapt to the ethical needs of the transition from the traditional "acquaintance society" to the modern "stranger society" with unlimited interpersonal space. In addition, the Confucian concept of establishing credit relies more on personality self-discipline, ignores the protection of external constraints, values morality and ignores rules, and regards moral cultivation as a simple personality cultivation activity. This is completely different from Lixin's credit structure. Lixin advocates the organic combination of introspection and heteronomy, mandatory restraint and guidance restraint in modern honesty concept. The intangible infiltration and deep inertia of the above-mentioned cultural and historical traditions have increased the difficulty of modernizing the concept of public integrity in China. In fact, China's traditional culture is not completely in conflict with modern society, and China's philosophical thought is not fundamentally opposed to modern thought. The essence of creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture in China can become the organic content of modern culture in China.

Fourthly, we should advocate vividly praising the essence of China traditional culture through literary and artistic creation, because cultural stories are very infectious. For example, the plot of the movie Hero in 2002 fully shows a sense of heroism and feelings of home and country: "A person's pain is no longer pain compared with the world, and the hatred between Qi Zhao is no longer hatred compared with the world." Unknown didn't kill the king of Qin at the critical moment, and finally failed to escape and died. He built his own grave. He built a tomb for the righteousness of the world. The king of Qin built himself a grave for unity and tyranny. People who stand on high and have a far-sighted vision are lonely, because no one can understand. The loneliness of the king of Qin lies in that no one in the world can understand himself, but his bosom friend is his enemy. Anyone who can understand himself in front of him wants him to kill them. This loneliness is both sad and hateful. Audiences who have seen movies will naturally re-examine China culture, themselves and the loneliness behind the lonely heights. For another example, different from the theme of palace fighting in ordinary costume dramas, the TV series "Nirvana in Fire" went off the rails, stressing tactics, and finally ended up with personal redemption and feelings for home and country. This play fully embodies China's patriotic thought of loyalty to the monarch in ancient times. Mei, the protagonist, is not a fool, but she has always followed the curve to save the country, unable to stand up and speak out and defend justice through clever strategies. Although the method is limited by history, I deeply admire the character and thought of the protagonist. No wonder some people commented that Nirvana in Fire is China's version of The Count of Monte Cristo. Unfortunately, the essence of many China traditional cultures has not been created and expressed through cultural products, which is the main direction of future efforts.

Fifthly, China traditional culture should be integrated into all aspects of life to achieve "creative transformation and innovative development". For example, you can learn China traditional culture directly through news programs. In 20 17, large-scale variety shows with China cultural elements, such as The Reader and Chinese Poetry Conference hosted by CCTV host Dong Qing, not only won extremely high ratings, but also stimulated the people's extreme love for poetry culture, realizing the situation that the programs were popular and the people loved * * *. For example, advanced technology can be used to strengthen the influence effect in propaganda. The development of modern science and technology provides new ways for people to display and inherit traditional culture, such as 3D printing, AR and VR technology, O2O and so on. In tourism, we can combine various factors of China culture, such as architecture, furniture, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea art and so on, to form various attractive scenes, which is very worthy of our Chinese nation's pride. Of course, the most important thing is that when people encounter problems in reality, they can often find the key to the solution from the essence of China culture, such as the Book of Changes, The Doctrine of the Mean, Learning with Harmony and so on. Confucius put forward that "being an official is the best way to learn, and learning is the best way to be an official" (The Analects of Confucius, Zhang Zi), which has profound truth. If we only pursue "learning to be an official" and ignore "learning to be an official", it will easily form bureaucracy and even lead to social corruption.

Sixth, correct the wrong practices of some local governments and individuals in time to prevent the negative spread of China traditional culture. During the "Cultural Revolution", there was a fierce political criticism of traditional cultural works, academic thoughts and academic representatives from top to bottom. The "Breaking the Four Classics" advocated during the "Cultural Revolution" caused great damage to classic cultural relics and caused the annihilation of traditional cultural carriers. This has played a very bad negative role in promoting the traditional culture of China. After the reform and opening-up, western countries, with their strong cultural soft power and dominant position in discourse power, have continuously infiltrated their own values and cultural habits into countries with relatively weak discourse power, which has brought us great challenges in carrying forward China's traditional culture and constructing and spreading the socialist core value system. At the same time, the educational situation of excellent traditional culture in China is not satisfactory, and the most prominent problem is the widespread phenomenon of attaching importance to knowledge transmission and ignoring the interpretation of spiritual connotation. In the specific teaching practice, some schools are oriented to exam-oriented education, emphasizing the instillation of knowledge points to students, simply letting students remember certain traditional cultural knowledge, and relatively lacking in-depth excavation and preaching of national spirit, moral sentiment and humanistic self-restraint contained in traditional culture. This is one of the core issues at present. In addition, improper vulgarization of some local governments may have negative effects. For example, the gift shop at the exit of a well-known traditional cultural tourist attraction in China is full of small dolls with the image of Confucius, which is disrespectful and even ugly to the spiritual idol of China traditional culture. This phenomenon should be stopped as soon as possible.
