How to define and understand the concept of "tradition"?

Tradition is a culture that can be passed down. The so-called culture here does not refer to the accumulation of knowledge, but a kind of cognition that can improve people's personal quality in a certain interpersonal circle. The simplest thing is that human beings wear clothes not only to keep warm, but also to hide their shame. People's sense of shame is also a part of personal culture, which has become a tradition for thousands of years. China's Confucianism and Taoism have a deep-rooted influence on China tradition, which directly affects his behavior as an individual in China circle. This is a tradition in China. Men who believe in Islam wear beards and women hide their shame (Islam considers hair a shame). No matter what the reason for this tradition comes from, it is already their tradition. Tradition is constantly changing with the progress of human culture, so wearing clothes, a single cultural tradition of human beings in the past, has different traditions in color and style according to different national and cultural differences. The change of underwear from short to long and from long to short reflects the change of human cultural cognition, that is, the change of tradition, but the historical tradition of hiding shame has never been lost.
