The old man said that traditional culture is not good.

China's traditional culture has a long history. It is a culture accumulated by the working people in our country in productive labor and passed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, although the society is developing and progressing and science and technology are accelerating, traditional culture is deeply rooted in people's hearts and is the spiritual sustenance of people in festivals and sacrifices every year.

Then some people will ask, in our traditional culture of China, there is no difference with the quintessence of the country. Can we distinguish a good cultural heritage from it and get rid of the old feudal colors and superstitions? This is entirely possible.

If traditional culture has positive energy, it must be absorbed. For example, our Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August is a reunion, and the New Year is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The new year has a good start.

Feudal festivals, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, July 30th and winter solstice, are full of dross. In these festivals, we should treat them differently. First of all, burning paper and kowtowing is a superstitious activity. It is better to burn paper instead of offering flowers, and you can also mourn. These three festivals are called Ghost Festival, which is the real feudal dross.

In fact, it is very difficult to get rid of superstition in daily life. Bowing and kowtowing is a gift from China Gu Lao, which should be made whether the old man dies or his family sacrifices. This is the inheritance of culture, which also involves filial piety, which is also a kind of respect for ancestors by future generations. Without the infection of this inheritance to the next generation, filial piety and morality are likely to degenerate.

The so-called dross only needs an understanding in our ideology. Not to mention ordinary people, it is said that senior cadres and generals still go home to sacrifice and mourn their ancestors. We know this is superstition. This is the quintessence of China people, a kind of spiritual sympathy and self-sympathy, which has been the law for thousands of years. It's not that it can't be destroyed or eradicated. Didn't it be eradicated during the Cultural Revolution? But now people have grown taller in the spring breeze and believe in it more.

When people have a material life, they will miss their ancestors and comfort their heavy hearts with this so-called dross. This is why modern people can't give up superstition. I think this way should be passed down.
