What influence does the natural economy have on the traditional culture of China?

Economy is the foundation and culture is the superstructure.

The core of China's traditional culture is to serve the natural economy.

Traditional culture attaches importance to harmony, denies the competition between people, regards the "golden mean" as the way to realize the harmony of interpersonal relationships, and advocates that people should obey the rules and perform different obligations when playing different roles. For example, when dealing with these five relationships, we should take "five virtues" as the standard and not act beyond "norms". ?

Between individuals and collectives, the values of traditional culture are to attach importance to groups and despise individuals. Family is a group formed by blood relationship. In ancient China, people always took family as the standard, and farming, carrying on the family line, respecting the elderly and pursuing stability were their ways to manage the family. "State" is the extension of "family" and the home of all social members, so individuals also have important responsibilities to the state. ?

When dealing with the relationship between man and nature, traditional culture is characterized by attaching importance to morality and neglecting equipment, and attaching importance to human relations and neglecting nature. It attaches importance to people's moral cultivation, but ignores the knowledge of natural science, and even does not regard nature as the object of people's cognition. It is to endow nature with human emotions and realize the "harmony between man and nature" by experiencing natural emotions. ?
