May I ask: What is the Chinese soul?

The Chinese soul refers to the basic spirit of traditional Chinese culture, which is the national spirit of the Chinese people, and is characterized by robustness and vigor, harmony and neutrality, reverence for virtue and utilization, and harmony between heaven and man.

The Chinese soul is centered on a long tradition of atheism, fully affirming the unity of man and nature and the unity of the individual and society, and advocating that the feelings and desires of the individual should be satisfied in harmony with the rational requirements of society.

Negating the religious worship of supernatural God, savior and the existence of the world on the other side, strongly advocating the harmony and unity of man and nature, individual and society, and opposing the division and confrontation of the two, this is the root of the spirit of rationality of the Chinese nation.
