What are the traditional Chinese culture and customs

Traditional Chinese culture is a kind of national culture reflecting the national characteristics and styles brought together by the evolution of Chinese civilization, which is the overall expression of various thoughts and concepts in the history of the nation, and refers to the culture with distinctive national characteristics, long history, profound connotation and fine tradition created by the Chinese nation and its ancestors residing in the territory of China and inherited and developed by the Chinese nation from generation to generation. It is the foundation of thousands of years of civilization of the Chinese nation. It is the crystallization of thousands of years of civilization of the Chinese nation, in addition to the core content of Confucian culture, but also contains other cultural forms, such as Taoist culture, Buddhist culture and so on. The ancient Chinese natural sciences, including the traditional calendar, as well as the traditional cultures of various regions and ethnic minorities living in the Chinese family are also part of the traditional Chinese culture. Chinese culture can be summarized into three main types: 1. patriarchal culture 2. agricultural culture 3. bloodline culture. These three cultures constitute the mainstream of Chinese traditional culture. And with the evolution of history they are more and more closely interpenetrating each other. For example: in feudal society, blood relations are very important in the big family, especially emphasize the generation and status of the hierarchical gap, so attach great importance to the family rules, they are even more cohesive to a certain extent than some of the country's system and prestige, in Mr. Lu Xun's novels, we can often see the patriarchal culture of the feudal rule and people's thinking of the impact of the country since ancient times until today is still an China since ancient times until today is a large agricultural country, as the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, the agricultural-based economic form will inevitably produce a cultural system that is compatible with it.
