What is the practical significance of learning from excellent cultural heritage and strengthening personality cultivation?

In China's traditional culture, the consistency of the belief that "Confucianism governs the world, Buddhism governs the mind, and Taoism cultivates the self" has formed a strong cohesive force among social groups, that is, the overall resultant force. This is undoubtedly very helpful for the perfection of personality. If we are more careful, we will find that many scholars in the West also hold high esteem for the ideal personality in China's traditional culture. Green, a famous British writer, once warmly praised the personality value of China people: "I am attracted by China people, especially their valuable interpersonal relationships. ..... If I am at a critical juncture and encounter real danger, I would rather have a friend from China standing with me than anyone else. " (quoted from Jia's Introduction to China Traditional Culture 2005- 1) Perfecting personality is one of the theoretical viewpoints put forward by Confucianism. Since the traditional culture of China has been discussed above, I would like to give some advice to college students: If you are not confident enough about yourself and have some ideas about your personality cultivation, you can go back and study the ancient culture of China, including its basic spirit, which is certainly beneficial. The reason why it is used in this word is that at present, no one can deny the influence of traditional culture on the existence of real personality, but pay more attention to this influence and try to tap its useful side and raise it to a certain height. This is my own opinion.

Often, the basic spirit contained in a culture is an important factor to determine what kind of personality is produced under this culture. The influence of the basic spirits of China traditional culture on China's traditional personality is undoubtedly decisive. Someone once said: "China's traditional personality is accumulated under the long-term socio-economic and cultural evolution, and it is the product of the comprehensive socialization of Confucian culture, Taoist culture, family culture and agricultural culture." (Quoted from Chen Bo and Zhang Huai Democracy's "China's Traditional Culture and the Road to Modernization" in June 2004. Another example: Tagore, a great Indian poet, said: "Westerners are often proud of the idea of conquering nature, as if we all live in a hostile world. We have to plunder what we need to survive. ..... so it caused the artificial separation between human beings and the universe that gave birth to us. " Rabindranath Tagore: Ritual: The Realization of Life. Leping: Bernhand. Tauch-nitz. 192 1。 ) On the contrary, China people seem to be born with an understanding of nature, treating nature as a sentient being and endowing everything with spirituality. As a poem, "Petals flow like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows." Emphasizing the harmony between man and nature, neutralization and implication are the mentality of oriental culture. The personality influenced by this cultural mentality is unique.

China's traditional culture also has a negative impact on the cultivation of personality. The section "China People's Psychology" written by British social psychologist Mike Peng and others describes the formation process and reasons of China's personality from the perspective of the socialization mode of cultural ecology. It is mentioned that China's personality is dependent, self-suppressed and self-exclusive. China people are not very interested in politics and other public affairs. < Hu Shi's Outline of China's Philosophical History (Volume I) 19 19 Edition > The closed world of daily life forms the closed character of China people. Although there are many problems in the traditional personality shaped under the traditional cultural model, it still cannot hide the charm of human nature exuded by traditional culture.

Culture is a broad concept including many aspects. Politics, military affairs, economy and life are everywhere. Is the crystallization of thinking, is the accumulation of precipitation. Don't get tired of opening it, because once you open it, you will gain something new.
