Pang Pu, a famous scholar, said in his article Traditional Culture and Cultural Tradition: Generally speaking, cultural tradition is an inert force. What's the next sentence?

Therefore, in general, cultural tradition is an inert force. It covers people's way of thinking, dominates people's behavior and customs, controls people's emotional expression, affects people's aesthetic taste, stipulates people's value orientation, and hangs people's ultimate care (soul destination). Freedom of individual will has almost no absolute meaning here, just as the body cannot transcend the skin, so can individual will not transcend the cultural tradition. But because of this, cultural tradition has become a silent instruction, a cohesive force and a symbol of a group. Without cultural traditions, it is difficult for us to imagine how a nation can exist, how a society can not disintegrate, and how a country can not disintegrate.
