What is the civilization tradition in Europe?

Christianity has played a great role in the inheritance of European civilization. The first element of constructing Western civilization in the Middle Ages was classical Greek culture, and the Greeks advocated individuality and idealism. The second basic component is Roman culture, which is the culture of sword. It emphasizes rationality, utility and practicality, so the system and law have been fully displayed in the Roman Empire. The third basic component is Germanic culture, which has strong vitality. Its barbaric tradition, localism and tradition of emphasizing consanguinity played a very key role in the formation of feudal system in medieval Europe. The link connecting these three cultures is the fourth element: Christian culture, which combines ancient ethics and teachings and gradually develops into a universal spiritual link that transcends individuals, families and even countries. It is expected that through missionary work, the Greek culture that emphasizes individuality, the Roman culture that emphasizes country, legion and law, and the Germanic culture that emphasizes consanguinity and family will be combined to form the characteristics of the times of Christian civilization. In 800 AD, when Charlemagne prayed in the church, the Pope crowned him and called him the Emperor of Rome. This day is considered as the birth day of European civilization. The coronation of Charlemagne means the completion of a great cultural integration in European history. In this process, the enlarged individual spirit of Greece was restored, while the over-expanded powerful system of Rome was suppressed. On the contrary, the original humble Germanic family and blood principle have been obtained. Through this great integration of civilizations, the internal structure of Europe has been improved, and the proportion of Greek, Roman, Germanic and Christian cultural factors has been adjusted, which has provided a foundation for the new development of Europe.
