The background, purpose and significance of studying China traditional culture and folk customs.

Culture itself is a dynamic concept and a historical development process. Therefore, culture is regional, national and epochal. Historically speaking, China culture includes not only traditional culture with a long history, but also modern culture with great changes in China cultural tradition.

In the feudal society of China for more than 2,000 years, Confucianism has always occupied an orthodox position in the field of official ideology, which has exerted a wide and far-reaching influence on China culture. It can be said that Confucianism is the mainstream of traditional culture in China.

1. The founder of Confucianism is Confucius, named Lu (now Qufu, Shandong). One of the most important contents in Confucius' thought is "ceremony". The so-called "ceremony" is nothing more than a political and social order educated in the name of discipline.

2. What is Taoism? The so-called Tao was first seen in Sima Tan's Six Essentials in the Han Dynasty. Sima said: "Taoism makes people single-minded, dynamic and invisible, and looks at everything." It is also a skill. Because of the harmony between yin and yang, the adoption of Confucianism, the goodness of ink, the importance of law, advancing with the times, changing things into things, and establishing customs into things are not appropriate. It is easy to operate with reference to the contract and get twice the result with half the effort. " "Knowing change, adapting to change and adapting" is the specialty of Taoism.

3. Buddhism was introduced into China in Han Dynasty. Under the historical conditions of China, it began to take root and develop, and became a part of the superstructure of China feudal society. Buddhism is a religion with strong ethical color. Buddhism takes life as its bitterness, so it takes the pursuit of liberation of life as its highest ideal. In order to realize this ideal, it put forward a set of theoretical theories and ethical standards to eliminate evil and good, and formed an ideological system about religious ethics.

China traditional culture is a relatively stable cultural form formed and developed by the Chinese nation in the ancient society of China, the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and the display of Chinese historical heritage in real life. This ideological system contains rich cultural and scientific spirit, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, cohesion theory, China traditional culture is a culture with internal cohesion, and the basic spirit of this culture is to pay attention to harmony, organically link individuals with others, individuals with groups, and people with nature to form a cultural relationship; The second is the study of compatibility. The traditional culture of China is not a closed system. Although China's external communication in ancient times was restricted, it achieved the compatibility of foreign Buddhism with an open attitude. The third is the research of practical application. The essential feature of culture is to promote the humanization of nature and society. China's traditional culture highlights the Confucian style of study. It takes the study of heaven and man as the starting point, and the foothold is self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world, and strives to be in the real society.

Faced with the increasingly turbulent social situation, people of insight are trying to find a good way to save the world. In the 1970s, Dr. Toynbee, a famous British philosopher, put forward a thought-provoking argument: "Only China's Confucius and Mencius theory and Mahayana Buddhism can save the social problems in the 2 1 century." The world needs the promotion and practice of China's ancient cultural ideas; China's traditional culture, which has been neglected for nearly a hundred years, is in urgent need of saving in China. As China people, we shouldn't go around looking for food with golden rice bowls.

The popularization and revival of traditional culture will inevitably bring about harmonious interpersonal relationships and long-term social stability, and sustainable development can be successfully realized. Isn't that what we expected?

What is the core of China's traditional culture? Can she have such strong vitality to save the society?

Traditional culture is the crystallization of thousands of years' experience and wisdom of China ancient sages, and its core is moral education. In the current environment of lack of culture and material desires, many people mistakenly think that morality is the rule that binds people's behavior. In fact, a moral life is a truly normal and happy life.
