How to deal with the relationship between traditional culture and foreign culture?

1. "Taking the essence and removing the dregs" is a concrete embodiment of the rational and critical attitude of the CPC towards traditional Chinese culture. After thousands of years of accumulation of traditional Chinese culture, there are both the essence and the dregs, and it is the dregs that we have to criticize and remove, while the essence of traditional culture has to be inherited, and "the past has to be used for the present".

2. "Eliminating the dross of feudalism and absorbing the essence of democracy is a necessary condition for the development of a new national culture and the enhancement of national self-confidence", which not only clarifies the attitude towards traditional culture, but also points out that distinguishing between "dross" and "essence" of traditional culture is not only an essential condition for the development of a new national culture, but also for the development of a new national culture.

This statement not only clarifies the attitude towards traditional culture, but also points out the value standard for distinguishing the "dross" from the "essence" of traditional culture:

The difference between feudalism and democracy. In the process of China's modernization, the Chinese ****productivity party leads the Chinese people to establish a rich, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist country, which is fundamentally different from traditional Chinese feudal authoritarianism, which determines that inheriting the traditional Chinese culture is by no means an eclecticism without analysis.

3. In the new period of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Chinese ****products' consistent and rational attitude towards their traditional culture emphasizes that China's traditional culture should be "treated with discrimination and inherited with abandonment", and that they should insist on applying the ancient to the modern and the foreign to the Chinese, removing the coarse and extracting the essence, removing the false and reserving the true, and making it our own after scientific abandonment. The first step is to make use of the old for the new, the foreign for the Chinese, the rough for the fine, the false for the true, after the scientific abandonment to make it for my use.

The correct handling of the relationship with foreign cultures should emphasize the solution of these two problems.

One is to promote our value confidence. Since the founding of New China, especially the successful practice of reform and opening up over the past 35 years, we have come up with a road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, formed a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, established a socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and created a miracle of development rarely seen in the world.

The second is to resolutely oppose "foreign dogmatism". With the continuous expansion of foreign exchanges today, more and more foreign cultures are coming in. Among them, there are certainly the achievements of human civilization, we need to seriously absorb and learn from. But there are also some people who worship foreign things.

In particular, they are eager to simplistically adopt Western categories, ideas and conclusions without questioning their backgrounds and premises. The habit of using Western discourse to interpret the rich and colorful practice of reform and development in China. This is today's "foreign dogmatism.

There are two very different attitudes toward traditional culture in modern China. One is the theory of "total westernization", which completely rejects our own culture, and the other is cultural conservatism, which sticks to tradition. But neither of them has really found a way to revitalize traditional Chinese culture.

The October Revolution brought Marxism, a new worldview and methodology, to China's advanced intellectuals. The Chinese ****production party began to use the scientific position, viewpoints and methods of Marxism to analyze and study the problem of the inheritance of traditional culture. The basic Marxist approach to traditional culture is the "dialectical view of negation". "

Dialectical Negative View" is both a rational attitude and a dialectical method for the Chinese ****products to treat traditional culture. The essence of the Dialectical Negative View is the dialectical unity of inheritance and criticism, i.e., inheritance is the inheritance in criticism, and criticism is the criticism in inheritance, and the two are not dichotomous. This dialectical attitude and method is essentially scientific and rational.
