What impact did the scriptural tradition have on the development of Chinese culture

The idea of scripture is the traditional idea of ancient Chinese society, and therefore the guiding idea of traditional Chinese culture.

The basic concepts of the scriptures also determine the basic concepts of traditional Chinese culture. The main body of Chinese traditional culture is the national science, and in more than two thousand years old feudal society, the soul of the national science is the scripture, the national science is for the propaganda of the scripture thought service.

One of the basic concepts of Confucianism is the unity of heaven and man, which is expressed in the "induction of heaven and man".

The second is the idea of the people. Mencius said: "The people are the most important thing, the gods of earth and grain are the second most important thing, and the king is the lightest." These concepts reflect the Chinese culture of honoring the ruler and valuing the people.?

The third of the basic concepts of Confucianism is: the middle way. As the Book of Rites - Qu Li said, "Love knows its evil, hate knows its good." It reflects the inclusive and continuing spirit that characterizes Chinese culture.?

The fourth of the basic concepts of Confucianism is the "Three Principles" of the "Three Principles"; men are superior to women, and men and women are different. Confucius said: "Only women and small people are difficult to raise. Nearby is not Sun, far away is resentment." This is the feudal dregs of the concept of scripture, reflecting the Chinese culture characterized by patriarchal family concepts.?

The fifth basic concept of scripture is: the concept of the five elements. The five elements of the five elements of each other reflects the Chinese culture with indifferent religious consciousness. The sixth basic concept of Confucianism is to emphasize "prudence and solitude". For example, "Zhongyong": "Therefore, the gentleman is prudent in what he does not see, fear what he does not hear, do not see what is hidden, do not show what is small, so the gentleman is prudent in his solitude."

These ideological concepts have formed the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture. And the origin of these ideological concepts lies in Confucianism's Jingxue (经学). Therefore, the idea of scripture is the main idea of Chinese national education and traditional culture.
