Inheriting Chinese culture is by no means simple retro, nor is it blind xenophobia. Instead, we should make the past serve the present, make foreign things serve China, make dialectical choices, bring forth the old and bring forth the new, abandon negative factors, inherit positive thoughts, "open our own face according to the rules of the ancients" and realize the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese culture.

original text

If you can understand the disadvantages, you should be conscious, self-spiritual, open your face according to the rules of the ancients, and naturally do as the Romans do, so that you can slap the ancients and have the same symbol, that is, you can pass it on to future generations without guilt, and then become my portal.

"Open your own life according to the rules of the ancients" is the language of Painting on a Mustard Boat edited by Shen Zongqian of A Qing Dynasty. The Collection of Mustard Paintings is a painting monograph. The book is written in 178 1 in four volumes. The general idea of these two sentences is to create your own novel and unique creative situation by using the basic laws of creation summarized by the ancients.

"Obeying the rules of the ancients" means learning and inheriting the excellent experience of the ancients. There are two sources of human knowledge: one is direct experience and the other is indirect experience. Direct experience refers to the knowledge gained by personally participating in the practice of changing reality; Indirect experience refers to knowledge gained from books or others.

The epistemology of dialectical materialism, on the one hand, emphasizes the importance of direct experience, because knowledge comes from practice, and only direct experience gained from personal practice is real knowledge. Many problems can only be deeply understood by personal experience. If you want to know the taste of pears, you must taste them yourself. As far as working methods are concerned, there must be personal practice in order to combine theory with the specific situation of work. So direct experience is very important.

However, because a person's practice is always limited, it is impossible to rely on his own direct experience for everything. In fact, most of what one learns is indirect experience. In order to inherit the spiritual wealth left over from history, it is absolutely necessary to learn foreign knowledge and accept indirect experience. Every generation regards the knowledge of predecessors as the starting point of their own knowledge, and enriches the treasure house of human knowledge with their own knowledge achievements as the foundation of the next generation of knowledge. Through the accumulation and exchange of knowledge from generation to generation, human beings have promoted the development of knowledge. If every generation abandons the achievements of predecessors' knowledge and starts from scratch, then human understanding will always stay at the initial lowest level and will not be developed and improved. Therefore, in the process of human understanding, it is also an important part to learn from the experience of predecessors.

However, learning from predecessors does not mean eclecticism, but learning selectively to form your own characteristics, that is, "opening your own face." Du Fu wrote in Preface to Dan Qing: "When the spirit left the great politicians, your pen kept their fresh faces on the wall of the Hall of Fame." That is to say, after the portrait has been redrawn, its face has taken on a new look, and later generations often use the metaphor of "creating a new situation or creating a new style". Painting needs to create a new look on the basis of learning, and by extension, the inheritance of any culture needs to "create its own face." Only by constantly pioneering and innovating on the basis of predecessors can we promote the continuous development of culture.

Na William, a famous cultural figure in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, wrote: "Six Classics blamed me for opening a new face, and seven feet begged me to fall from the sky and be buried alive", expressing Wang Fuzhi's strong sense of historical responsibility and mission to carry forward Chinese traditional culture. This attitude towards traditional culture is something we should learn today. We should learn traditional culture, but we should carry it forward. For traditional learning, it is not a simple retro, nor is it a blind rejection. Instead, we should make the past serve the present, make foreign things serve China, dialectically choose negative factors, inherit positive thoughts and realize the prosperity of Chinese culture.
