Several crises of China's traditional culture in history.

What is the most essential feature of every country and nation in the world? Besides blood relationship, culture is more important. I think there are 56 nationalities in the big family of the Chinese nation with different origins. But for thousands of years, they have been in the same boat, sharing the same sound. They think they are descendants of Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi and Chiyou, relying on the intangible ties of China traditional culture. The main body of the Chinese nation is the Han nationality. However, in this vast land of China, the Han nationality itself is a multi-ethnic hybrid. There is no pure Han nationality in the world. First of all, the Han nationality is the isomorphism of traditional culture. The dragon culture of Taoism is the confluence of China and a hundred schools of thought, and it is the root of China traditional culture. The Chinese nation can survive after thousands of years of decline, relying on the fact that the roots of Taoist culture have not been cut off and dug up. It is obvious that the Chinese nation can integrate hundreds of different cultures into Chinese culture, introduce Indian Buddhist culture in history and absorb western Christian culture in modern times. Obviously, it is not the Confucian culture that "guards against summer" that works, but the Taoist culture that "embraces all rivers" has created miracles. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people invaded northern China. Although today seems to be a war between different brotherly nations within the Chinese nation, it seems that the Han people were facing the pain of national ruin and death at that time, so some famous soldiers such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong resisted the invasion of other nations. Chinese intellectuals are the carriers of China traditional culture. They also deeply felt the crisis of national traditional culture in the face of foreign invasion. Although Jin Shizong later recognized the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and was called "carefree" in history, the intellectuals of the Chinese nation took great pains to preserve the traditional culture at that time. Under the background of this era, Wang Zhongyang merged the essence of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism into one furnace, and founded Quanzhen Taoism with the call of "the integration of the three religions", which developed the Dan Taoism culture of double cultivation and preserved the foundation of China traditional culture. From then on, the whole truth will not die out, nor will the Inner alchemy be lost, because the Inner alchemy is the core and essence of China traditional culture.

1840 After the Opium War, the Chinese nation faced the pain of humiliating its power and country. Western powers, including Japan, known as "leaving Asia and entering Europe", all bared their teeth in an attempt to slaughter China. In the eyes of these imperialist robbers, China people have become cattle and sheep that can be bullied or even slaughtered at will. At that time, a new generation of intellectuals in China traced China's barbarism, autocracy, poverty and weakness to the deepest cultural level, and found that the Confucian "sheep culture" of peace, autocracy, docility and loyalty was dwarfed by the "wolf culture" of western conquest, democracy, competition and freedom, and angrily put forward the slogans of "Don't read China's books" and "Down with Kongjiadian". In the last century, the May 4th New Culture Movement introduced Darwinism, a fashionable western society, into China, and the ideological trend of "natural selection, survival of the fittest, abandoning the old and welcoming the new, and constantly striving for self-improvement through revolution" became the main theme of the times. Mr. Lu Xun issued the strongest voice of the times in the face of China society in danger: "Save the children"!

65.438+0.3 billion China people bid farewell to the troubled 20th century. When we March into the 20th century with people from all over the world, we can't help remembering those martyrs who fought bloody battles for the rise of the Chinese nation in the 20th century. It is these outstanding sons and daughters of China who defeated the imperialist robbers who burned, killed, robbed and raped women in China, recovered Hongkong and Macau carved up by the great powers, and made the people of China regain their national dignity. However, for a long time, in China, only a few scholars, such as Laozi and Confucius, were really familiar with and studied China's philosophy. They were confined to universities and scientific research institutions, and even Chinese medicine and acupuncture guaranteed the medical technology of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, which was only a small department in the corner of major hospitals. The traditional culture of the Chinese nation was marginalized by China people themselves. Historically, the introduction of foreign Buddhist culture by the Chinese nation was based on the Taoist culture of China Laozi and Zhuangzi, and Buddhism was understood, compared and explained in Taoist terms, which was called "Geyi Buddhism" stage. The study of China's modern philosophy was initiated by Hu Shi, Feng Youlan and other academic predecessors. Hu Shi first took Taoist culture as the starting point of China's philosophy, while Feng Youlan always used Confucian culture to run through the history of China's thought. However, they all cut the thoughts of ancient philosophers in China with the mode of western philosophy, that is, "China's philosophy" is derived from western philosophy. Fortunately, scholars of Hu Shi and Feng Youlan's generation have profound knowledge of Chinese studies. Although we can see through the thoughts of China philosophers from these western perspectives, it is still a novel research method. After the founding of New China, the study of China copied the political model of the former Soviet Union, and was limited to defining "class composition" for China philosophers, or classified into two camps: "materialism" and "idealism" respectively. The students trained by this China philosophy textbook have neither knowledge of Chinese studies nor real knowledge of western philosophy until they have been professors and doctoral supervisors for many years, and then the students who have been taught have little or no interest in inheriting the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. This is how a few scholars in China universities and scientific research institutions study China's philosophy. I feel that the study of China's philosophy from China's own perspective has not yet begun. Philosophy is the crystallization of national wisdom. The study of China's philosophy is still so, and the break of China's cultural tradition can be imagined. A nation that forgets its ancestors, loses its tradition and regards thieves as its father has no future. A nation that has lost its cultural foundation can only act as a "little buddy" behind others. The national traditions created by Chinese people Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi and Chiyou (the god of war in China) cannot be lost! From childhood to middle school and even junior high school, it is a critical period for a person to shape his temperament and grow his personality, and it is also a period for the wisdom with the strongest life memory to be developed. It was during this period that the ancients recited the classics of China's sages and accepted the artistic edification of their own literature, music, fine arts and calligraphy, laying a solid foundation for Chinese studies. However, the modern education system has pushed children into exam-oriented education with brutal competition since childhood. No wonder juvenile delinquency has surged, social morality has declined, life values have become more and more selfish, and integrity is lacking. The Chinese nation that has lost its traditional culture in China is just a group of second-class citizens with yellow skin and black hair. They have lost their national characteristics in life beliefs, ways of thinking, living customs, and even city features, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their national spirit will surely collapse.
