Dialectical negation and traditional culture

Dialectical negation is a link in the development of things. The development of things is fundamentally the disappearance of old things and the emergence of new things, and it is a leap from old quality to new quality. Without dialectical negation, there will be no qualitative change and development of things. Therefore, dialectical negation is an important link in understanding the development of things. In the face of foreign culture, we should adhere to the dialectical negative view, adhere to the core of development, learn from others, critically inherit and absorb the excellent parts of foreign culture for our use, and make our culture develop greatly. Dialectical negation is the connection between things. New things arise from old things and grow in the mother's womb of old things. The negation of new things to old things is not simply to abandon the old things completely, but to abandon the negative and unreasonable factors of the old things, while retaining and transforming the positive and reasonable factors in the old things as the basis for their own survival and development. Therefore, dialectical negation is the link between old and new things. This requires us to take the essence and discard the dross when dealing with cultural heritage. Criticizing the past and inheriting the present are prerequisites for development. The rational inheritance of cultural heritage is conducive to the formation of the foundation of cultural development in China and the development of China culture. Materialist dialectics holds that negation, as a link of connection and development, is essentially "sublation", that is, both overcoming and retaining. Therefore, in the face of cultural heritage and foreign culture, we should strengthen innovation, constantly inject fresh blood into it, and add content with the flavor of the times to enrich and develop China's cultural content.
