If the traditional culture of China disappeared, why did it have a great influence on the social progress of modern China?

To some extent, China's traditional culture does show signs of disappearing. Traditional culture has been impacted since the May 4th Movement, and the development of China's modern history is also a process of struggle between traditional culture and foreign culture.

China traditional culture has its essence and its dross. With the development of the times, it is normal for some backward things that can't keep up with the times and things that are incompatible with productivity to disappear naturally, which conforms to the law of historical development. But many excellent traditional cultures have lost their proper aura, which is somewhat unreasonable. The main reasons are:

1. China people's concept has changed, with pragmatism as the core and money as everything. They have not paid enough attention to unprofitable cultural heritage and failed to protect it. For example, Dunhuang is in Gansu, but Dunhuang studies are not in China; Koreans learn China traditional culture more like China people than China people, and the Dragon Boat Festival has been copyrighted by Koreans. Calligraphy is very popular in Japan, while tea culture originated in China but is famous in Japan, while China people blindly look for coffee instead. China culture never belongs to us. Tanabata can't fire Valentine's Day; Calligraphy and painting, how many China people can calm down and imitate the excellent works of the ancients; How many people are still listening to China's excellent operas, such as Shaanxi Opera and Kunqu Opera?

2. Public opinion orientation, false guidance, media, culture, education and other fields, driven by economic interests, have given Chinese people false guidance.

3. Westernization of educational content is an important factor causing the loss of traditional culture. The education that China people receive from primary school to university is mostly westernized, and traditional things have no place in the education field of China.

Some experts and scholars who worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries began to make waves. Consciously or unconsciously, these people acted as tools of western cultural aggression and were honored as guests by TV and media. For example, some experts advocate that Chinese medicine is useless, acupuncture is ineffective and so on.

Fortunately, the country has paid more and more attention to traditional culture in recent years, which is something to be happy about.
