This is not available in many foreign countries. Second? It has formed the national spirit that the Chinese nation attaches importance to ancestors, tradition and unity. Today? Do Chinese at home and abroad call themselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor? And proud of it. Every time the mainland holds ancestor worship activities such as Huangdi, Yan Di and Dayu? The descendants of the Chinese people at home and abroad flooded in. China's 5,000-year-old civilization is the only uninterrupted civilization among the four ancient civilizations in the world? It is inseparable from this system.

Negative effects?

Politics? Led to the formation of authoritarian society and authoritarian thought? The people's democratic concept and spirit are generally lacking. In patriarchal society? The ruling class and thinkers advocate the extremely autocratic thought and theory of "Three Cardinals and Five Permanences"? It has greatly imprisoned and bound people's minds. Will people with personality and creativity? Become slaves and machines one by one? China's feudal society lasted for thousands of years. Never before in the world. For thousands of years. People are used to the country having an emperor and a master? Accustomed to life of oppression, rule and even slavery? It seems that if you don't, you will lose your spiritual support and sustenance. The autocratic ideology left over from the Millennium is deeply rooted in the Chinese nation? Hard to get rid of? From time to time, in some form? It greatly restricts the democratic political process in China today?

Thought is conservative and conservative. Culture and politics have never been separated? This is especially true in China. In a patriarchal society? Tradition is better than change? Morality is above everything else. In the imperial examinations in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties? It is clearly stipulated that Zhu's Notes on Four Books and Chapters must be the standard answer? Scholars can only repeat these pedantic sermons in eight-part essays? In fact, people are not allowed to have their own independent thoughts. Patriarchal customs rely on morality to organize and manage ethnic groups? Because they found that the law is obviously too pedantic and inflexible in ethnic management? But it is often accompanied by moral intervention? Many things can not only be handled efficiently? But also more flexible and has considerable continuity.
