China traditional culture! ! !

The main features of China's traditional culture are: attaching importance to the unity of heaven and man in the relationship between man and nature, and showing the harmony between people in the relationship between people. China's philosophy never thinks that man and nature are hostile, but that man and nature are complementary, and people should help and cooperate with each other. Emphasis is placed on the spirit of collective sacrifice, on taking righteousness as benefit, and on hard work and dedication. The concept of justice and benefit constitutes the value orientation of Confucian economic theory in production behavior. It is people's work attitude that brings out the benefits of righteousness. As early as the time of origin, hard work and professionalism were admirable virtues, which were derived from social knowledge. The so-called "people's livelihood is diligent, and diligence is not lacking." In dealing with the relationship between individuals and society, Confucian culture advocates solemn self-control, attaches importance to the influence of education, pursues skills, advocates social responsibility and hard work, and rarely emphasizes self-interest, forming the pursuit of harmonious and efficient development of groups, showing greater advantages than individualistic culture.

China's traditional culture with Confucianism as the main body is extensive and profound. Once it is combined with the positive factors of foreign culture, especially with the western ideas that reflect the development requirements of modern market economy, it can become the spiritual driving force of economic and social development. The rapid economic development of Japan and the "Four Little Dragons" in Asia is evidence. These countries and regions are in the radiation circle of Chinese culture and have an indissoluble bond with Chinese culture.
