The influence of China's ancient economic base on China's traditional culture?

The economic base determines the superstructure.

China was a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy in ancient times, and its social output could meet the demand. Therefore, in ancient times, we attached importance to the development of agriculture as the foundation of the country, thus attaching importance to agriculture and restraining commerce. The long-term unchanging natural economy makes China culture pay more attention to practicality and introversion than innovation and development.
