What does traditional culture mean?

Traditional culture refers to a cultural form that has been widely accepted and passed down from generation to generation in the long-term historical evolution. The relevant knowledge is as follows:

1, Chinese culture, based on Chinese civilization, fully integrates the cultural elements of various regions and ethnic groups in China. Different from the internationality of China culture, it can be called "special China culture".

2. The oriental civilization system deeply influenced by Chinese civilization is called "Han culture circle", which refers to social ideology and reflects the development level of social politics, economy and science and technology. From the invention and creation of the Paleolithic Age to Kang Youwei's reform and political reform and Liang Qichao's democratic revolution, all of them are the driving forces to promote social development.

3. The traditional culture of China began to prosper in the era of a hundred schools of thought contending, and then began to divide. After Qin unified China, a new culture was formed, which is the traditional culture of China. This culture reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty. Modern China experienced several large-scale cultural changes and two big ideological movements, but the traditional culture was questioned after the late Qing Dynasty.

4. In China, there is a trend of cultural self-confidence, and cultures begin to diversify. However, the mainstream culture in China is still the traditional culture of China with Confucianism as its core. China's traditional culture contains Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is the mainstream of China society. In today's China society, these thoughts still play an important role.

The meaning and related knowledge passed down from generation to generation

1, handed down from generation to generation is an idiom, which means handed down from generation to generation. The origin of this idiom can be traced back to the ancient legends and history of China.

It is said that in ancient times, there was an emperor named Dayu. In order to control the flood, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, and finally passed on the method of water control to future generations. This method is called "handed down from generation to generation", which means that each generation should inherit the wisdom and experience of its predecessors and carry it forward.

3. In modern Chinese, the meaning passed down from generation to generation is no longer limited to water control, but means that any tradition, knowledge and skills must be passed down. For example, in the family, family rules, family precepts and family traditions handed down by ancestors should be passed down from generation to generation; In society, all kinds of traditional skills, cultures and ideas should also be passed down.

It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to pass on from generation to generation. People pass on their experience, wisdom and skills to the next generation through oral communication, so that these precious wealth can be continued. At the same time, passing on from generation to generation is also an important way of cultural inheritance, which enables the culture of the Chinese nation to continue to develop and become a unique cultural treasure in the world.
