China's traditional virtue and sublation of old ideas

The sublation of China's traditional virtues and old ideas lies in the fact that innovation is an important part of China's traditional virtues. Shang Tang's epigram engraved on the bathrobe is: "New is new, change is new." I ching said, "if you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will pass." He also said: "integrity, new morality." These thoughts laid a positive foundation for China culture and had a great influence on later generations. For example, Taoism advocates natural learning, Confucianism emphasizes moral learning, and Legalists advocate reform and innovation from social reform. To innovate, we must keep pace with the times and lead the trend of the times. From ideology to political system, from scientific experiment to invention and creation, from work to life, without innovation, society will not develop and mankind will not progress.
