The role of China's ancient culture in modern times.

1: The original purpose of the imperial examination was to promote talents for the government from the people. Compared with hereditary system and recommendation system, imperial examination is undoubtedly a fair, open and just method, which improves the employment system. You can argue that the imperial examination system has been implemented in China for 1300 years, which has had a far-reaching impact on China, even East Asia and the world. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, China's social structure, political system, education and humanistic thought were all influenced by the imperial examination. Education is the pillar of national prosperity. How to correctly select talents in the imperial examination and how to promote talents in the country? How does China rise! 2. After the establishment of the printing system in China, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty promoted the printing and publishing of books. In ancient China, literature was valued over martial arts, and the spread of hundred schools of thought's works and the inheritance of culture made printing essential.

It can be seen that Confucianism is the main body of Chinese studies, which is not only based on the subjective feelings of modern neo-Confucianism and some scholars, but also has an objective basis. The reason why Confucianism is the main body of Chinese studies is objectively determined by the basic spirit, extensive scope and historical development of Confucianism, rather than our wishful thinking.

Therefore, rejuvenating the country can be said to be the revival of Confucianism. However, the revival of Confucianism is by no means a "retro" misunderstood by some people, let alone a retrogression. But based on the attitude of Marxism "critically inheriting" the ancient theory, it is rationally dissected and applied. Confucianism can play an important role in the modernization process. Modernization is not a denial of tradition, but a sublation and a new solution. China's modernization still needs Confucianism, because any nation can stand among the nations of the world because it has its own traditional culture, and China's traditional culture is mainly Confucianism; Secondly, the modernization we want to achieve today is the modernization with China characteristics, and this China characteristic, of course, is indispensable to the Confucian color of China traditional culture.

Generally speaking, Confucianism will revive or the times will take it for granted. However, the revival of Confucianism may no longer be the "only" cultural belief of China or the "only" spiritual pillar of China people today.
