Why is China's traditional culture extensive and profound?

1. The Chinese nation has a long history and profound traditional culture, which makes Chinese people proud and is an important cohesive force of the Chinese nation; On the other hand, China, which has fallen behind in modern times, is moving towards modernization. Although China people's ideas, thinking, behaviors and lifestyles are undergoing great changes, and China culture is also undergoing all-round transformation and development, this transformation and development itself started from tradition. As a cultural form, China traditional culture has its own cultural value and scientific value.

2. The national culture is not static, it is constantly updated and developed in the unity of opposites with the development of the times, and it is also developing in its own unity of opposites. The Chinese nation is an ancient country with a civilization of 5,000 years, and it is also a country that advocates decoration. China's ancestors left different styles of decorative heritage in various historical periods. For example, the original painted pottery pattern is simple and atmospheric, and the frog pattern, fish pattern and vortex pattern summarized after long-term refining are full of vitality; Calligraphy art, tile pattern and portrait brick pattern in Qin and Han dynasties; Lacquerware decoration in the Western Han Dynasty takes black, red and gold as the contrast, and the overall shape is elegant and noble. The Tang Dynasty pioneered the pattern of grass-rolling plants in China, and the rich pattern of Tang grass changed subtly and harmoniously. The characteristics of ceramics in Song Dynasty are beautiful and elegant. Folk blue-and-white porcelain, with its impromptu ink and wash style, folk embroidery, paper-cut lace, auspicious patterns and other artistic forms, is simple in shape and bright in color. It is the crystallization of the rich imagination and artistic creation of working people in past dynasties in China and has high application value.

3. The main body of China's traditional culture is Confucian culture, and its modern value is first manifested in its openness to other cultures. This is a basic prerequisite for the development of China traditional culture and its role in modern society. However, the openness of traditional culture or Confucianism also has its specific significance, that is, it advocates the openness of each individual to the social country in which he lives and emphasizes the individual's sense of participation in the social country. This sense of participation is characterized by paying attention to the practical process of participation itself, rather than overemphasizing the current utilitarian results. Under the influence of this cultural model, people can endure suffering temporarily and work tirelessly, which can be said to be an important cultural driving force for China's modernization.

4. China traditional culture is a relatively stable cultural form formed and developed by the Chinese nation in the ancient society of China, the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation, and the display of the historical heritage of the Chinese nation in real life. This ideological system contains rich cultural and scientific spirit, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, cohesion theory, China traditional culture is a culture with internal cohesion, and the basic spirit of this culture is to pay attention to harmony, organically link individuals with others, individuals with groups, and people with nature to form a cultural relationship; Second, the study of compatibility. China's traditional culture is not a closed system. Although China's foreign exchange in ancient times was restricted, it achieved the compatibility of foreign Buddhism with an open attitude. Third, the study of practical application. The essential feature of culture is to promote the humanization of nature and society. China's traditional culture highlights the Confucian style of study. It takes the learning of heaven and man as the starting point, and the foothold is self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world, and strives to realize its value in the real society. Practicality is the basic spirit of cultural science.

5. Traditional culture and modernization are opposites, but traditional culture is not a stagnant pool, but a dynamic inheritance. Human beings create traditional culture in their own social practice and innovate and enrich traditions in practice. Otherwise, it will not become a realistic cultural tradition. Therefore, traditional culture can not be simply attributed to "past history", but should be recognized that it is related to the present and the future at the same time. Considering development as "anti-tradition", its way of thinking is to oppose traditional culture and modern culture. In fact, any modernization can only proceed from the realistic traditional culture, otherwise it will become passive water and a tree without roots. Therefore, we must not take a completely negative attitude towards traditional culture, but seek truth from facts, analyze specific problems, test them in practice and eliminate those outdated things. I think the significance of inheriting China's traditional culture is mainly reflected in: it is conducive to the improvement of social atmosphere. Since the reform and opening up, due to the impact of various foreign ideas, many China people's ideas have undergone great changes. It has always been a fine tradition of our Chinese nation to respect the old and love the young and honor our parents. Under the atmosphere that science has become the orientation of the group and society, accepting and pursuing science at the request of the group has become the real content of moral self-discipline that constrains one's behavior. Self-cultivation and self-cultivation can be transformed into establishing, cultivating and adhering to the yearning and belief in scientific civilization. In a sense, the enthusiasm for science in contemporary China is unprecedented, which to some extent reflects the positive promotion and encouragement of ethics to this trend.

6. As far as the value of life is concerned, traditional culture highlights the importance of people's spiritual needs. When fish (life) and bear's paw (morality) cannot have both, it becomes people's conscious choice to sacrifice life for righteousness. Such "righteousness" has shaped the indomitable national spirit and maintained the endless cultural tradition. But traditional culture has not ignored the value of material life. Filial piety, which is based on the inheritance of material life, attaches importance to the moral consciousness carried in life and the spread and promotion of knowledge of nature, and encourages people to work hard, whether for fame or fame.

As far as the popular view on Chinese and Western cultures and their values is concerned, China culture is neither a typical dichotomy of heaven and man nor a simple unity of heaven and man. But there are points, points and complementarities. The harmony between man and nature stems from the primitive affinity between man and nature. Taoism's harmony between man and nature is based on natural inaction, while Confucianism's harmony between man and nature is mainly a moral ideal and spiritual realm, which is the product of Confucian scholars' construction of their own world picture based on ethics. Understanding the difference between man and nature, making reasonable adjustments, considering and respecting man's value, and giving full play to man's role are the most important characteristics of the thought of harmony between man and nature. Because China's philosophy is the unity of unity and division, there is no lack of the concept of subjectivity as the basis of philosophy. It is not only the most reasonable content in the thought of the harmony between man and nature, but also necessary for the modernization of China today.

The traditional culture of China is the crystallization of thousands of years of civilization in China. In addition to the core content of Confucian culture, it also includes other cultural forms, such as Taoist culture and Buddhist culture. Traditional culture originated from the past and blended the mainstream concepts and values of the present and the future. As an ideology, it has a wide influence on people's thoughts and behaviors.

7. One of the characteristics of China's traditional culture is that it is tolerant of everything, that is, taking things with kindness. For example, during the Warring States Period, Qi Huangong founded Jixia Academy, which brought together hundred schools of thought of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, fame and so on. At that time, there were Chunyu Kun, Zou Yan, Tian Pian, Mencius, Xunzi, etc., who gave lectures and traveled in Jixia Academy, and they were called a hundred schools. These masters gave lectures and debated freely in the academic halls, which initiated a hundred schools of thought in the cultural history of China and made great contributions to the future of China culture. It is generally believed that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a cultural situation dominated by Confucian culture has formed in China. But in fact, the history of China's cultural development is mainly based on the complementarity of Confucianism and Taoism, and this clue itself reflects the cultural compatibility.

It is not only traditional culture that pursues harmony. In today's society of 2 1 century, we are still pursuing harmony. "Harmonious society" has become the theme of today's society and will be a long-term topic and goal. This is the embodiment of China's traditional culture and the inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture.
