How to inherit traditional culture and build a new culture?

Building an excellent traditional culture inheritance system is the need to protect the cultural foundation on which the Chinese nation depends for survival and development. The culture of any country has its own traditions and inherent roots. Giving up tradition and foundation means cutting off one's spiritual lifeline and losing cultural characteristics. Chinese culture has a long history, rich inside information, the patriotic tradition that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, the people-oriented view of heaven and earth, the idea of harmony but difference, the innovative spirit of keeping pace with the times, innovation and change, the noble integrity of wealth and unyielding, the social virtue of keeping fit and adhering to integrity, all contain the painstaking efforts, wisdom and ideological essence of our predecessors. These excellent traditional cultural spirits have developed continuously for thousands of years, becoming the psychological bond to maintain national members, the source of strength to inspire national spirit, and the endless spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation, providing rich nourishment for the Chinese nation's endless development and growth, and playing a great role in the Chinese nation's self-reliance in the world. For today's China, the profound national traditional culture is an important foundation for our culture to settle down. We should take the spirit of being highly responsible for the nation, history and future generations as our unshirkable responsibility, and better nourish national vitality, stimulate national creativity, cast national cohesion and build the spiritual home of the Chinese nation with excellent traditional culture. Second, building an excellent traditional culture inheritance system is the need to keep pace with the times and create new cultures. The development of culture is a historical and continuous process, and it is cultural inheritance, change and innovation on the basis of existing traditions. Marx once pointed out that "man creates his own history, but not at will, not under the conditions of his own choice, but under the conditions that he directly encounters, builds and inherits from the past." The same is true of the history of cultural development. Excellent traditional culture is the mother of our cultural development and the deep soil of cultural creation, which not only casts the glory of history, but also shines with the light of the times today. Excellent traditional culture is an inexhaustible ideological source to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We should sort out the development of history and culture on the basis of extensive collection and extensive study, seriously explore the beneficial ideological value of refining traditional culture, conduct in-depth and systematic research and analysis, make an easy-to-understand contemporary expression, endow it with new connotation of the times, make it adapt to contemporary society, coordinate with modern civilization and continue to carry forward under the new historical conditions. Of course, inheriting the excellent national traditional culture is not to go back to the past to be conservative and retro, but to scientifically sort out and refine it according to the requirements of taking its essence, discarding its dross, making the past serve the present and bringing forth the new, combining traditional culture with the spirit of the times to create a new culture, enriching the cultural treasure house with new ideas and new spirits, and constantly creating a new culture that conforms to the contemporary spirit and the trend of the times. Thirdly, building an excellent traditional culture inheritance system is the need to absorb and integrate foreign excellent cultural achievements, and to enrich and develop China culture in the dialogue and exchange with the world culture. No culture can be isolated from the world, it needs to learn from other cultures. In thousands of years of human history, although there have been frictions, collisions and conflicts between different cultures, communication, reference and integration have always been the mainstream of development. If a nation wants to keep pace with the times, it must be good at extensive exchanges and cooperation with other countries and nations, learn from the achievements of foreign civilizations, learn from each other's strong points, and go its own way. The reason why China culture is endless and enduring lies in its profound and eclectic tradition. Although we also had a closed period, and had lessons of closing the door to the outside world and sticking to the remnants, in the long history, openness and tolerance have constituted the main body of China's cultural development, and China's culture has been enriched and expanded through absorption and reference. Of course, learning from others is not a simple imitation or plagiarism, and it cannot be eaten alive. We should persist in putting people first and serving us, always maintain the subjectivity and independence of our national culture, combine beneficial foreign culture with excellent traditional culture, integrate China cultural elements, brand China culture, form China style and China style, and make China culture always stand in the forefront of world cultural development.
