China traditional culture sense?

The excellent traditional cultural classics unique to China produced in the history of China are called Sinology. Sinology can be understood as two parts: broad sense and narrow sense. Chinese studies in a broad sense include the Book of Changes, which originated in ancient times, the Book of Songs, which originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the intersection of hundreds of cultures in the pre-Qin period, the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius, the way of Laozi and Zhuangzi, the ink of Mozi and so on. As well as the twenty-four histories, Zi Tongzhi Jian, Si Ku Quan Shu, Tang poetry, Song ci, prose of past dynasties, Yuan Qu, novels and poems of Ming and Qing Dynasties, etc. In a narrow sense, sinology refers to the cultural classics represented by Confucianism and Taoism, including the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, the Confucian Thirteen Classics formed from the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the Taoist doctrines of Lao Zi and Zhuangzi, such as Lao Zi's Kuidao Daode Classics and Zhuangzi.

China's ancient excellent traditional culture embodies the spiritual connotation and excellent quality of the Chinese nation, which is the spiritual strength for maintaining China's reunification and the foundation for China to become a world cultural heritage country. Due to various reasons, from 49 years to nearly 30 years before the reform and opening up, China's excellent traditional culture suffered more serious and devastating damage than at any time in history, resulting in a fault in the learning and inheritance of Chinese traditional culture. How to learn and inherit excellent traditional culture and reshape the spiritual civilization and moral cultivation of the Chinese nation should really attract enough attention from governments at all levels and the general public.

It is not difficult to learn and promote Chinese studies. What is difficult is ideological emancipation in the cultural field. After the reform and opening up, great progress has been made in ideological emancipation in the economic field, but ideological emancipation in the cultural field has stagnated. Before the reform and opening up, the wrong thinking mode of traditional culture has greatly hindered our learning and inheritance of traditional culture. Today, traditional culture is still a tool to serve the feudal ruling class. Putting a "feudal" hat on traditional culture will always remove its dross. The traditional culture formed in China for thousands of years is profound. So far, we have learned very little, and we are not qualified and qualified to arbitrarily batch and label. The word "feudalism" is definitely a derogatory term in China, and criticism must be abandoned. The so-called feudal system is the system in which the Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since the Qin Dynasty unified China, apart from a brief division, most of it was a centralized imperial power system. From Qin Shihuang's unification of China to the overthrow of the monarchy in the Revolution of 1911, how could China have a "feudal society" of more than 2,000 years? Therefore, in order to study and carry forward traditional culture, we must emancipate our minds in the cultural field and abandon all kinds of wrong ideas before the reform and opening up. A full understanding of Chinese excellent traditional culture is the spiritual pillar for the survival and development of the Chinese nation and a valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Discussions on self-cultivation, governing the country, ethics, etiquette and philosophy can be seen everywhere in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. It should be said that it has reached the peak of history and it is difficult for future generations to surpass it. As Ji Xiaolan, the editor-in-chief of Bi Si Ku, said, I just sorted out the theories of my predecessors, and I can never surpass them. Disciples Rules written by a scholar in Qing Dynasty is definitely a model of spiritual civilization if contemporary people can learn to copy it. It can be said that China's excellent traditional culture can still be used for reference in today's society.

After thousands of years of development, the Chinese nation is enduring, and the unity of the country and the nation has always been the main tone, which depends entirely on the support of the spiritual strength of China's traditional culture. The thought of loyalty and filial piety in Confucian culture plays a decisive role in maintaining the unity of the country and the nation. Loyalty means loyalty to the imperial power and the country; Filial piety means honoring elders, respecting ancestors, and confessing ancestors. The patriarchal clan system, which evolved from filial piety, penetrated into all aspects of ancient China society and was the basis for maintaining the stability of family, clan and country. Today, China's traditional culture still affects China's society, politics, economy, culture, folk customs and other aspects. It is totally futile to attempt to cut off history, destroy a culture by coercive means and re-establish a culture completely different from the so-called "feudal culture". As a result, the new culture has not been built, but the excellent traditional culture has been put on the shelf with a bad name, so that people don't know what traditional culture is, let alone learn and inherit it.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly and it is just around the corner to become a world economic power. But this is not enough to become an economic power. To build a cultural power, economy and culture complement each other, which is the real power. Mr. nan, a master of Chinese studies, once said that the country can prosper if it dies. The death of culture is the real national death. Nowadays, the lack of social etiquette, moral decay and bad habits can be seen everywhere, which shows how important it is to build a country's cultural spirit. Moreover, the construction of cultural spirit will not be as immediate as economic development, but a long-term task, which must go through the efforts of several generations.
