What is the relationship between the basic spirit of China traditional culture and modern culture? How to Construct the Basic Spirit of China Contemporary Culture

China's traditional culture is profound and has a long history. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi, and many other schools that played an important role in the history of China thought emerged. Confucian culture, especially represented by Confucius, can be said to be one of the sources of human civilization, especially eastern civilization, which not only had a great influence in the historical process, but also still plays a role today.

From the perspective of ideological connotation, the basic spirit of traditional culture, which is of decisive significance to the formation and development of the Chinese nation, is generally manifested in four aspects, namely, the concept of harmony between man and nature, the concept of people-oriented, the concept of being vigorous and promising, and the concept of emphasizing harmony. As the source of national wisdom and the carrier of cultural inheritance, these traditional cultures are not only the internal driving force of historical development, but also valuable resources for us to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture.

As an ideological and cultural system that has played an important role in the history of China for a long time, and as an official ideology for more than 2,000 years, traditional culture still has a profound influence in the depth of social life and people's ideology. Therefore, in the process of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture, we should always attach importance to refining and absorbing all the outstanding spiritual wealth created by people at all times and all over the world, including the contents worthy of reference in traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as all the outstanding cultural achievements introduced from abroad. On this basis, we will build a socialist ideological and cultural system that not only maintains the excellent national traditions, but also suits the characteristics of contemporary society.

Without the promotion of culture and the inheritance and development of national spirit, it is impossible to realize socialist modernization. In the cultural renaissance, an indispensable lesson is to study China's outstanding cultural heritage in depth, which requires not only the promotion and cultivation of national spirit, but also the inheritance and innovation of history and culture. Whether we can learn and be good at synthesizing Chinese and Western cultures in the process of historical and cultural inheritance and innovation will directly affect the development direction of advanced culture in contemporary China.
