What are the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture?

The culture of ancient Chinese literature can be categorized into three main types:1. patriarchal culture 2. agricultural culture 3. bloodline culture. These three cultures constitute the mainstream of traditional Chinese culture. And with the evolution of history, they are more and more closely interpenetrating each other. For example: in feudal society, blood relations are very important in the big family, especially emphasize the generation and status of the hierarchical gap, so attach great importance to the family rules, they are even more cohesive to a certain extent than some of the country's system and prestige, in Mr. Lu Xun's novels, we can often see the patriarchal culture of the feudal rule and people's thinking of the impact of the country since ancient times until today is still an Agricultural country, as the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, to the agricultural-based economic form will inevitably produce with the corresponding cultural system. Confucianism, represented by the Four Books and Five Classics, has been influencing people's thinking for thousands of years. Therefore, I believe that the most important feature of Chinese culture is Confucianism: it emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, cultivating one's self, aligning one's family, ruling the country and leveling the world, so as to make people's inner cultivation and outer ruling of the country reach a perfect unity. The essence of Confucian culture is to be calm and neutral, and to think without evil! Secondly, farming culture, family culture, and some regional cultures are interconnected and interpenetrated, and gradually formed the rich and colorful connotation of our traditional Chinese culture in the long evolution of history.
