Professor Yi Zhongtian said that Confucianism is not a traditional culture. What is traditional culture?

This is a statement taken out of context.

Yi Zhongtian's original words are: "Traditional culture is not equal to Confucianism", which comes from Yi Zhongtian of Jinsha Forum: How to Treat Traditional Culture by Chengdu TV Station. This question is taken out of context, and this is how the controversy arises.

Yi Zhongtian believes that the popularity of Chinese studies now is because people place their real social problems on traditional culture, so as to solve the problem of lack of social morality. In people's bones, traditional culture refers to Confucian culture. Yi Zhongtian objected. Confucian culture is just a thought of the past. What can save the world is to create new core values.

Confucian culture is an important part of China traditional culture. As we all know, Confucianism is one of the most important schools in ancient China. Since ancient times, few theories have achieved more than Confucianism. Confucius is a great man who goes down in history, and his cultural essence and heritage deserve to be remembered by all future generations.

However, China's culture is extensive and profound, and the traditional culture contains countless cultural essences. In traditional culture, there are countless kinds of crystallization of ancient wisdom in China. Confucianism is only one of the most representative cultures, but there is no doubt that Confucian culture is actually a traditional culture.

Yi Zhongtian's Confucian theory of benevolence extends outward from close relatives. Confucian culture has been passed down to this day for no reason. The essence of its culture is of great educational significance not only in ancient times but also in modern times. Therefore, in our traditional culture, Confucianism is included.

Confucian cultural heritage has been handed down from generation to generation, and Confucian cultural thought has played a decisive role in the development of modern culture in China. It has long been an indispensable culture in our country, and we can't just deny it. On the contrary, Confucianism has contributed to the development of culture to the present level.

China's culture is extensive and profound, and the traditional culture contains numerous cultural essences. In traditional culture, there are countless kinds of crystallization of ancient wisdom in China. But there is no doubt that Confucian culture is really traditional culture. The cultural heritage of Confucianism can be carried forward and passed down from generation to generation.
