Why is the influence of China traditional culture not high in contemporary society?

China's traditional culture is dominated by Confucian culture. Although a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, it still pays more attention to the development of individual spirit and belief.

The cultural development of contemporary society is greatly influenced by China's traditional culture, but it is necessary to form and develop a culture suitable for the contemporary social environment on the premise of absorbing the spiritual nutrition of traditional culture. It is not that the influence of traditional culture in contemporary society is not high, but that culture, like technology, needs the efforts and development of generation after generation.

First, traditional culture should take its essence. China's traditional culture still has a certain influence in today's society. Whether it is the inheritance of Confucian classic culture or the icing on the cake of the development of legalist Taoism, it has provided the foundation and foundation for the current cultural development to varying degrees. But after all, many parts of traditional culture are not suitable for the cultural needs of modern society. We should inherit the essence of traditional culture with dialectical eyes, make some choices, and discard the dross that are biased, unsuitable or even completely divorced from the development of real life, so as to better develop the culture belonging to this era.

Second, cultural development should keep pace with the times. The society is progressing, and so is the culture. The wheel of history never tells us that tradition must be correct, irreplaceable and unchangeable, but tells us to adapt to the new era, take today's society as the center, take tradition and reality as the radius, and develop our superstructure in a multi-faceted and three-dimensional way, so as to truly keep pace with the times in spirit and culture. Instead of today's growing material, economic and conditions, our thoughts are still stuck in the era of insufficient food and clothing and blind pursuit of personal spirit and belief.

With a history of 5,000 years, China is the only country among the four ancient civilizations that has survived to this day. The development of China's traditional culture has an indelible position in history. However, in order to adapt to the development and progress of the new society, our cultural development needs to keep pace with the times, but we should be clear that it is not that China's traditional culture has insufficient influence in contemporary society, but that we need to take its essence and discard its dross in the process of development, so that our cultural development can stand in the world cultural forest.
