What are the disadvantages of traditional power?

The biggest drawback is hypocrisy, which is two skins to people and to oneself, and teaches by example. In the later period of traditional ideology and culture, although there was an ideological and cultural peak of Wang Yangming's theory of mind, which paid attention to "conscience" and "unity of knowledge and action", it did not become the mainstream culture generally accepted and practiced by the general public. The disadvantages of these cultures have been thoroughly analyzed by Mr. Lu Xun, and later scholars can critically study, analyze and study them.

A rough analysis of the causes of China's traditional culture shows that an important event is that Dong Zhongshu, a cultural speculator, appeared during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and put forward the cultural speculation behavior of "ousting hundreds of schools and respecting Confucianism alone", which virtually sold the private goods of Confucianism to the ruling class, cleverly implanted Confucianism into the imperial power culture, and gradually marginalized other ideological cultures, making Confucianism occupy the orthodox and mainstream position for a long time. This has had a profound impact on China's cultural tradition. Confucian culture sets too high a moral standard for people, and it can easily become a flashlight of culture and thought-it is easy to follow others, but difficult to follow yourself, lively and pleasant to say, but difficult to implement. As a result, China people gradually learned to look at the world and others from the moral high ground, but they pretended to be kind and hypocritical. This has contributed to the formation of two sets of rules at the social level, which has increased the opportunity cost and transaction cost of everyone from the cultural depth. Obviously, this is something that hinders the development and progress of the times and society, and it is also something that hinders the all-round development of human science.
