How to carry forward China traditional culture, take its essence and discard its dross?

Personally, I think that a scientific understanding of traditional culture requires both a spirit of self-respect and self-improvement and a sober and scientific attitude. We should be responsible for our own history, have a sense of self-love and self-improvement, and dare to affirm and carry forward all the excellent and beautiful things in our tradition; We should also be responsible for our own future, have the spirit of self-criticism and self-transcendence, and dare to deny and abandon all the backward and ugly things in our tradition. This was the case in the past, now and in the future.

The key and core of "taking the essence and discarding the dross" and "carrying forward the excellent tradition of Chinese culture" is based on the self-awareness and self-development of contemporary China people. Contemporary China people are the carrier and subject of all China traditional cultures, and the critical inheritance of traditional cultures cannot be separated from the self-transformation of Chinese people.

Only when we are clear about our own position and mission, have a clear understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses, strive for self-improvement, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and keep moving forward in the future development can we truly "carry forward" and fully reflect the modernization of traditional culture. Therefore, how to do well the self-cognition and self-development of contemporary China people is the key to all problems, and it is also the most important and difficult link.

How to "take the essence and discard the dross" of traditional culture is essentially not a question of how to treat foreign ready-made things, but a question of how our nation treats its own history, present situation and future destiny. We come from history, so we can never break away from our own traditions; We are moving towards the future, so we should never stay in the tradition of the past. To understand traditional culture scientifically, we should not only have the spirit of self-respect and self-improvement, but also have a sober and scientific attitude. We should be responsible for our own history, have a sense of self-love and self-improvement, and dare to affirm and carry forward all the excellent and beautiful things in our tradition; We should also be responsible for our own future, have the spirit of self-criticism and self-transcendence, and dare to deny and abandon all the backward things in our tradition. This was the case in the past, now and in the future.
