Will traditional culture become an obstacle to development?

No, culture is a spiritual tool created by human beings. Like material tools, it naturally aims to make human beings develop better, rather than hinder their progress. Therefore, it is natural to take the essence of traditional culture and discard its dross. If it gets in the way, people's own problems.

A country that abandons traditional culture has no future. Culture is a valuable asset for the development of human civilization. In the shaping of network civilization, if the traditional culture is lost, the network culture will lose its significance of independent existence. Even without traditional culture, there would not be today's network culture. Without traditional culture, hegemonism and colonialism will have an opportunity, and such a world will be terrible.

Although culture does not play a decisive role in the development of science, its influence certainly exists. Western culture is used to seeking external solutions in the way of understanding the world, so it has a great influence on natural science and social science; The oriental culture, especially the traditional culture of China, is used to seeking methods from the inside in the way of understanding the world, so it has accumulated rich experience in the exploration of life science and formed a complete theoretical system.

Summarized as follows:

Take the Book of Changes as an example. Doesn't seem to hinder science. On the contrary, it will inspire mankind to the unknown to some extent.

Without traditional culture, there would probably be no development of entertainment, education, Internet and tourism today. Therefore, traditional culture will not become an obstacle to development, but the aspects and directions of influence are different. "Take its essence and discard its dross", traditional culture needs to be promoted, which is the soul of a nation. Even if there are contradictions and obstacles at a certain point, we can't completely refuse.
