What are the ugliness in China's traditional culture?

China's traditional culture is the foundation of national civilization and the morality, thought and spirit of the Chinese nation. Throughout the historical process of China, Chinese civilization has a profound traditional culture since ancient times. With the progress of history, some traditional cultures have gradually fallen behind and are not suitable for this developing era. We should not advocate what we should not pass on to these ideas, but give them up.

I. Blind Loyalty of Ancient People In ancient China, many people were loyal to individuals and countries, but some people were blind loyal. In Shang Dynasty, Boyi and Shu Qi were annexed by Zhou Dynasty. In order to show their loyalty to the country, the two brothers swore not to eat a grain of Zhou Dynasty, and finally starved to death in shouyangshan. Fu Cha, king of Qin, was indecisive since childhood. In order to hone his mind, the first emperor sent him to inspect and repair the Great Wall. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang suddenly went out to die, and Zhao Gao and Reese forged an imperial edict, making Fu kill himself. Fu Su committed suicide without telling the truth. And the famous Liangshan hero in Shui Bo. Isn't it that Song Jiang put more than one hundred brothers' lives on the line, in exchange for fame and high rank?

Second, Chinese-style ignorance and filial piety in history is also undesirable. In ancient times, it was said that there was nothing wrong with putting filial piety first. It is the responsibility of children to honor the elderly and parents. In the ancient "Twenty-four Filial Pieties"? Bury the children and serve the mother? There was a man named Guo Ju in the Jin Dynasty. He had a good family. After his father died, he divided his family wealth among his two younger brothers and raised his mother alone. Later, the family became very poor, and my wife gave birth to a child. Guo Ju is afraid of raising children and can't support his mother. So he and his wife decided to bury their son alive, saving export food to feed their mother. Fortunately, gold was found when digging a hole, and his son was saved. Guo Ju's filial piety was beautiful. Is such foolish filial piety desirable?

Third, under the feudal ideology, three obedience and four virtues are the bondage and oppression of female behavior in feudal society. Did you propose to women in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? Three obedience and four virtues? Clear requirements. Let women unconditionally obey their fathers, husbands and sons. In ancient times, women's status was very low. They must obey and attach themselves to men from an early age. Four virtues are more harsh on women's behavior. The ancients believed that it was God's will for a man to respect his wife, and a slight disobedience by his wife was against God's will. In order to please men, women began to bind their feet, and in the Song Dynasty, they also promulgated the rule that women must bind their feet. Wait, these are the unequal concepts of male superiority and female inferiority in feudal society.

Some blind loyalty and filial piety are not true loyalty and filial piety, and the concept that men are superior to women does not reflect how important men are. With the rapid development of information economy in today's society, people's thoughts and consciousness have also improved. Now China has become a rich and powerful country.
