The main types of traditional culture

China's traditional culture should first include thought, writing and language, followed by the six arts of ceremony, music, shooting, imperial art, calligraphy and mathematics, and then the folk customs derived from calligraphy, music, martial arts, Quyi, chess, festivals and rich life. Traditional culture is closely related and integrated with our lives, and we enjoy it unconsciously.

China's traditional culture should include: ancient prose, ancient poetry, ci, music, fu, national music, national drama, folk art, Chinese painting, calligraphy, couplets, riddles, shots, wine orders, two-part allegorical sayings and so on. Traditional festivals (all according to the lunar calendar) include: Spring Festival on the first day of the first month (Lunar New Year), Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, Cold Food Festival around Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 5th, Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th, Tanabata on July 7th, Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, New Year's Eve of the twelfth lunar month and various folk activities. China's ancient natural sciences, including traditional calendars, and the traditional cultures of various regions and ethnic minorities living in China are also part of China's traditional culture.

Up to now, scholars at all times and all over the world can't come to a conclusion, except for the reasons of multi-dimensional vision, there are also objective ambiguities from a linguistic perspective. Broadly speaking, culture is the sum of human spiritual life and material life.

First of all, in terms of time, there are primitive culture, ancient culture, modern culture and modern culture.

Secondly, in terms of space, there are oriental culture, western culture, marine culture and mainland culture.

Thirdly, from the social perspective, there are aristocratic culture, civilian culture, official culture, folk culture, mainstream culture and marginal culture (Mr. Jiang Yihua divided them into normative culture, non-normative culture and semi-normative culture. This division is relatively novel, so I will focus on it. The so-called normative culture, according to Mr. Jiang, is the highest authoritative normative culture in China's small-scale peasant society, taking Confucian classics as the classics and the official history of past dynasties as the latitude, and widely absorbing the theories of Taoism, Buddhism, Yin and Yang, metaphysics and foreign cultures in the long-term migration and evolution. Correspondingly, it is the mode of production, lifestyle, various relationships between people, customs, beliefs, pursuits, daily psychology, potential consciousness and non-standard culture in various written or unwritten systems. In addition to these two cultures, there is a semi-standard culture between them, which refers to a large number of literary and artistic works with different elegance and popularity, and various cultural education and religious entertainment activities that are semi-divorced from classics, history and culture, such as Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, The Journey to the West and other popular cultural masterpieces. Of course, I think the division of Teacher Jiang seems to be only effective for the traditional culture of China.

Fourthly, from the social function, it can be divided into name culture, etiquette culture, system culture, clothing culture, campus culture and enterprise culture.

Fifth, from the internal logic level of culture, it can be divided into four levels: material state culture, mentality culture, behavior culture and system culture.

Sixth, in terms of economic form, there are different cultures, such as animal husbandry and hunting, fishing and salt, agriculture, industry and commerce. Some people engage in coloring, yellow culture, blue culture and so on.

Besides, there are more interesting points. For example, Mr. Zhang Yuanshan divided culture into brain culture, chest culture, abdomen culture and lower body culture in his cultural essay "Up and Down Five Thousand Years". He divided the lower body into two sections, hip culture and hip culture. He said that the middle Tang Dynasty (An Shi Rebellion) was the first half of China culture, and then the second half of China culture. If subdivided, from Yao to Zhou, that is, from 3000 BC to the birth of Confucius in 552 BC, about 2500 years, it is a prehistoric period of China culture, and there is no mind yet. Around the birth of Confucius, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China entered the age of brain culture. Qin Shihuang was unified, centralized and autocratic, and his chest collapsed, so China entered the era of chest collapse. The Han dynasty played louder, which made the Xiongnu soldiers tremble with fear. Huo Qubing stone pig stone horse, a look is the most brainless people carved. The cleverest Sima Qian was castrated by the most brainless Emperor Wu. It was also the brainless Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who declared that Confucianism was the only one, which led to the fact that most of the intellectuals in China for two thousand years became brainless. In a word, Mr. Zhang's score is very witty. The reason why he gave you so many verbiages was just to give you some inspiration. If students are interested, they may want to create a score.
