Fast-food communication does more harm than good to traditional Chinese culture

Much of our traditional culture, especially classical literature, is written language art, which is mainly transmitted through the paper medium of books, and the works themselves contain a great deal of information and connotations. Once it is interpreted through the mass media of television, it will inevitably weaken and lose some of its more essential and far-reaching aspects.

I think this is a rather weak argument. Because there is a problem of era and carrier, when traditional culture originated, there was no Internet and TV, and the choice of paper media was passive. Modern online media is bound to become an important way of cultural dissemination, of course it will lead to a certain degree of content loss, but this can also be understood as like painting and literature on the same thing in different ways.

On the other hand, the positive side might seize on the modernity angle. Because culture is inherited and developed continuously, the Chinese emphasize traditional culture, in fact, split the whole culture into "traditional" and "modern" parts

If the positive side says that fast-food communication is good for both "tradition" and "modernity," then the positive side would say that "traditional" and "modern" culture is good for "modernity," and the positive side would say that "traditional" culture is good for "modernity.

If the positive side says that fast-food communication is good for bridging "traditional" and "modern" cultures, then the negative side might say that the mass misreading or skimming of traditional culture caused by fast-food mass culture communication will create a bigger cultural fault, and the essence of traditional culture will be downgraded.)
