How to treat China traditional culture correctly

First, handle the inherent and fundamental relationship between Marxist guiding ideology and Chinese excellent traditional culture.

To deal with the relationship between the two, we should not beat around the bush, interpret and sort the concepts of "guiding ideology" and "inherent fundamentals", let alone equate the relationship between Marxism and traditional culture with the relationship between present and end, and judge the advantages and disadvantages of the two on this basis.

Marxism is a scientific outlook on the world, history and methodology, and the guiding ideology of China's revolution, construction and reform and opening up. Chinese excellent traditional culture is the spiritual lifeline and internal foundation of the nation, and it is the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in the world cultural agitation. The speculation that promoting traditional culture means reviving Confucianism and replacing the guiding ideology of Marxism with China traditional culture neither understands the history of China nor ignores the practical needs of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is harmful in theory and practice.

Second, handle the relationship between respecting tradition and reflecting on tradition.

The traditional meaning is very complicated. In traditional culture, the essence and dross are always intertwined. Even the essence of traditional culture, which grows in a specific social and historical soil, is bound to be flawed, and it is hard to say that there is an absolutely pure essence. In the process of unswervingly inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture, we need to be alert to the rise of cultural revivalism.

The more we emphasize the establishment of cultural self-confidence, the more we need the spirit of cultural introspection; The more we emphasize respect for tradition, the more we need to face tradition rationally; The more emphasis is placed on inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture, the more we should adhere to the principled position of historical materialism.

Third, handle the relationship between inheritance, transformation and innovation.

Forgetting the roots can open up the future, and being good at inheritance can make better innovation. The purpose of respecting tradition, inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture lies in its creative transformation and innovative development. According to the characteristics and requirements of the times, excellent traditional culture should be endowed with new connotation of the times and modern forms of expression to activate its vitality.

According to the new progress of the times, we should supplement, expand and improve the connotation of excellent traditional culture and enhance its influence and appeal. To inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture, we must be inclusive in the dialogue, exchange and mutual learning of different civilizations, and constantly draw nutrients from various civilizations to enrich and develop Chinese culture.
